I'm working on a manga for the first time in a while, and I'm trying my hand at 3D retouching, 4-5 pages will be that, and I'm thinking of making the 6th page a color illustration of just the characters, but I'm not sure if black and white would be better...? I will finish this comic within the next month.

I'm sorry that this month's update has been a progress report and one color illustration... I was able to draw a lot in January, but I got burned out there and couldn't maintain the momentum I had at the start of February and March, so my motivation is in a slump... I will do my best next month...!

(By the way, I successfully filed my tax return, but I still feel dizzy from paying taxes...)


🟥 English version of "What is Futanari?"

I asked a translation company to make an English version of the book "What is a Futanari? The translation will be completed soon, and I supervised the manuscript the other day.

It was very carefully finished. I am looking forward to the release of the English version myself. After all, it's very different from doing it on my own using translation tools. It still takes a lot of human effort to translate the nuances of the language and the culture of the language. Especially when it is a text-based work like this.

All the pages are almost finished, and the only thing left to do is to make the corrections I have informed them about and to create the logo, and I think it won't be long before it is released. If all goes well, we should be able to release it by the end of April this year...? I would like to believe so myself that it will be out in May at the latest.

We will add the English version to the ZIP file of the Japanese version on the platform (BOOTH/Gumroad) where you bought the Japanese version. We apologize for the inconvenience, but please download the file again after reporting the addition. (No re-purchase is necessary)

As with past titles, the "English version for English-speaking countries (with different restrictions)" will be available on 2D Market or FAKKU, but again, I am sorry, but due to legal reasons, I cannot provide information for Japan, nor can it be purchased from Japan. Also, the Japanese version is not included.


🟦 Priority for illustration, manga, Live2D, game creation, 3D, video, and event.

Event

  • I have no plans to participate in events this year. It is my policy to apply when I have a firm idea of what I want to draw, and that is why I haven't applied for Comiket either, since I have no ideas at the moment. I can't forget the memory of participating with a sad face because it took me a long time to come up with a story after applying once before, and in the end I couldn't complete the story....

Game production

  • As for the game production, as I have told you before, I have decided to start from scratch, so there will be no update report for a while. I will not be able to announce anything this year. I would like to focus on my paintings now, so if I can keep up the frequency of posting paintings, I will find time to do so. I have not given up, but it seems to be impossible for now.

3D

  • I am studying 3D not for game production but for illustration, but I will study it when I feel like it. Recently, the number of artists who can use 3D has been increasing, and it makes me feel a bit intimidated....

Live2D

  • I occasionally use Live2D. To tell the truth, I'm driven by the feeling that I have to do it now that I've bought the annual license, but I also want to have something else in my arsenal.

Video

  • I have no plans for making videos this year. I don't have any motivation and I don't have anything I want to do right now, so I won't update my Youtube page if I don't feel like it.

Manga

  • I want to work the hardest on my manga this year. For now, the manga I am currently working on will be completed next month, and once that is finished, I will start working on a new manga right away. First of all, I have to get used to making manga.

Illustration

  • I will naturally work hard on illustrations this year. Lately I've been trying to focus on increasing the number of them. Right now, I'm still as slow as ever, but I'd like to gradually increase the number of pictures I post. I may show a number of pictures with messy finishes because of that...

As such, illustration and manga are my top priorities right now. My next priorities are Live2D and 3D, game production when I feel like it, and no plans to participate in events or make videos this year. I really don't have enough time.


If you have any other questions, I will answer as much as I can, so feel free to leave them in the comments section.

Is this the same manga/comic from the draft from awhile back or is it a completely different different one?

Skittys

Keep up the good work man, I love the piece you included in this post! Always good to hear about your progress :)

The one from about 2 years ago, right? I'm glad you remember it. When I reread it, I gave it up because I wasn't very happy with it and because of the number of pages. (This time it looks like it will be finished without abandonment due to the small number of pages).

nekoarashi

Thank you, I will do my best to get serious next month. I am also glad to hear your comments on my progress as it cheers me up.

I’m sorry to hear about your burn out. I have known artists that faced burnout and the damage can be quite extensive. It was lucky to see they managed to bounce back, but it was after weeks to months or even years. I do hope you feel better ans get plenty of rest if you can. It’s also great to hear about your progress regarding your art and going back to manga drawing and I very much look forward to it ^_^ All the best to you Yana!

Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! I've had burnout many times, but rest assured I've never failed to recover! (It took me a long time to try again in manga as well, but here I am.) But still, it's difficult to keep the high motivation going...🤔

RensiQ

Yeah, it’s completely understandable. If you will need to prioritize your well-being, I’m sure we will understand. Just keep us updated on how you are doing 🫡
