A favourite manga of mine is Shimanami Tasogare, or, Our Dreams At Dusk. It's a lovely LGBTQ+ manga about self discovery, understanding and what it's often like living as someone who isn't straight, cis or allosexual. Some of the comic panels are so fucking incredible to look at too.

But overall you translated these styles so well into your character and, at least for Blue Flag bc that's the only one I read on here, it gave me the same feel as when I read the manga and saw the drawings. Wich is basically "WOAH OMG SFHSJSFJ I MIGHT JUST CRY" :,)

The guitar struggle is SUCH A MOOD. In art school, first year, my ignorant self decided to do a "mute musical band" project. So I had to draw a short comic about a bunch of mimes who feign playing music, in a library. Basically air guitar with props. I suffered.

I read Ao no Flag on your recommendations and I was blown away! They tackled so many important issues and perspectives so delicately. It was so refreshing to see characters like Mami and also have the characters engage in serious conversation about their thoughts and beliefs.

I just recently started reading blue period, and the VERY FIRST chapter made me CRY. It was so relatable and hit home just in the right way, I just couldn't stop crying. I binge-read all the chapters the same day and tried to find a physical copy the next day in my fav manga shop - couldn't find it sadly. I did order it now tho. And your avatar in that art style? Absolutely gorgeous, I love it so much. Blue period just inspires me to do more art like I did in school, instead of just doodling manga characters in my sketch book over and over. I can't stress how much I love it.

Absolutely showstopping. I will always be astounded by your ability to draw in many different styles, have the character you're drawing (often yourself) be recognisable in each, and to make each interesting to look at, since seeing the same character over and over could be repetitive if they're in the same pose. It's so inspiring.

I adored how your character looked in each of the different styles. I have personally read a few of these and they do deserve way more love. I would have to say I would love to see what other underrated manga styles you could do or maybe for a different idea you could draw your character as if they were in a specific genre of manga. Basically how would they look in a shoujo, shonen, and others.
