Overall, I had a relatively crappy day yesterday. But I did receive a cute piece of fanart depicting a nyancat-styled Chiaki, so that was nice. ^_^ It inspired me to go a step further and draw this. It's the dumb little things that get us through the day, y'know? XD

Panel 1
Chiaki: "Like... Y'know, nyah!"
Fumiko: "...What?"

Panel 2
Chiaki (now with cat ears and a tail): "Nyah~!"
Fumiko: "Stop."

I'm very happy with it so far. The only problem with having so many retro consoles very conveniently available to me again is too many options! The analysis paralysis is so real and now I'm just playing Chrono Trigger for like the 50th time. XD But, like, the DS version, so that's different. XD

On an unrelated note, I got a new toy the other day. In case anyone doesn't know, this is an AYN Thor, a retro gaming device. My spouse and I mostly intend to use it for DS, 3DS, PS2, and GameCube, (and maybe some Steam) since we mostly no longer have access to working versions of these things.

Gamescom's Opening Night Live was mostly pretty unremarkable for me, but I'll always pop off for Mega Man. Especially when they introduce an incredibly adorable new robot master like Twinkle Girl. ^_^ I immediately love her, so I had to draw her before too long. Okay, back to the comic! XD

Fairly important comic updates. Assuming you're one of my readers (or would like to be), please take the time to read it when you have a chance.

Okay! Big announcements time! This is all kind of important if you are following my work.

My Impossible Soulmate is coming back in full force in two weeks. I will share the chapter cover next week on Friday, August 28th. And then the following week, the first page of Chapter 9 will go up on Tuesday, September 1st.

To reiterate, because that may sound odd to my longtime readers, I'm going to be experimenting with a twice a week posting schedule this chapter. One page on Tuesday, and one on Friday. It's an unusual setup for me, but makes keeping on top of the workload a little less demanding, while also being sure the post days are spread out evenly. So new pages every Tuesday and Friday going forward, starting in September.

I also want to give a little heads up.

Chapter 9 of MIS is going to be an angsty one. Still lots of humor, and probably some of the cutest moments in the story yet, but also expect some moodiness. And while we're at it, the first two pages in particular are a bit on the dark, disturbing side, and even a bit violent.

As I've said before, if you enjoy modern comic book movies or shounen anime, I'm sure you've seen worse. Truth be told, I don’t know if this requires such a strong warning. But I know some folks are sensitive to this kind of thing. And I also recognize I did relatively light-hearted slice of life comic before MIS, so long time readers may just be surprised to see this from me.

(All that said, it is just the first two pages, and then the rest of chapter will be comparatively quite tame.)

Lastly, I don't think will affect many people, but going forward, MIS - and all art that I make - will not appear on DeviantArt. In fact, if you are reading this on DeviantArt, you can consider this my final post. It's not a decision I make lightly, and I've been kinda going back and forth on this for a few years now. The site has been on a rapid decline for some time, with one terrible decision after another already pushing away so many artists from the platform. Not the least of which, how it allows - and even encourages - the use of generative AI.

I'd held out for so long because I've been on the platform for twenty years now, and it used to be such an important place for me. It's where I got my start showing my art. It's where I first came out. It's where I announced Rain. I spent all that time building myself up from nothing there to gain a presence for myself as an artist. But honestly, with all the AI and bot activity, I'm sadly growing very skeptical of how much of my audience really is still there.

If you're one of the small few active DA users still following me there
(and only there), I encourage you to either come find me on social media or at least keep up with MIS/Rain/other stories on Comic Fury and/or Tapas
(links below), because I'm not going to budge on this. I won't be closing the account (at least, not any time soon), so you can continue to enjoy my work there, or you have plenty of time to make backups if you want. But I will not be adding any new art there. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

With all that said, please look forward to the start of a new chapter in a new arc for My Impossible Soulmate this September, with new pages twice a week, every Tuesday and Friday.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Stay safe, stay happy, and stay healthy in the meantime.

A reader described MIS as the Deltarune to Rain's Undertale (which is an amusing comparison), and for some reason, I felt compelled to draw Rat Lynn in an Annoying Dog suit. XD

Things are coming along slowly but surely, as I try to balance working with my seemingly endless life drama. Due to the uncertainty of everything, I'm not going to promise a definitive start date yet, but ideally, I would love to get things rolling again before August is over. Wish me luck! 💜

On a lighter note, I see I just hit 2,500 followers. Thank you so much for that. I don't have anything at the ready to celebrate, so instead here's a sneak peak at what I'm currently working on. Chapter 9 is going to be a little angsty and a lot of fun. So I hope you're looking forward to it. ^_^
