VatDS Update! The chapter speaks for itself. This might be the longest single chapter in the story. Thus far at least. There's always the potential for longer ones in the future I suppose, and I am a terribly loquacious person... Chapter 100 — Square Zero Story Page

VatDS Update! Fun fact, I had to draw out a diagram for the seating arrangements at the table so I could properly internalize it. As it turns out having sixteen characters all (more or less) interact with each other in an organic, diegetic way is actually very difficult! 94 — Thronesday Story Page

《熱帶》網站收錄了不少相對冷門和小衆的漫畫連載，包括非戀愛元素和性少數群體等。這篇《Garden in the Closet》，大致是以友情為主綫，圍繞青春期的思緒，以及關於性別認知和自我認同的故事。講述身材高大、擅於融入男生群體的高中生航希，實際上喜歡植物卻無法對他人訴説。某天，班上迎來了轉學生的岬，但唯獨在航希眼中是透明的形態。一次機緣巧合下，兩人談論起植物，這時航希似乎模糊地勾勒出了岬的面貌。後來的某個雨天，岬對航希訴説了自己生來是「女性身體」，實際上卻不想也不打算以這身份生活下去的願望和苦衷。這篇漫畫完成度很高，畫風美，分鏡和細節流暢。對這類題材有興趣的話值得關注一下。
