Announcement


[T/N: file name: muminnanokore.jpg = “Is this really Moomin!?”]

I’m really sorry to have kept you all waiting for such a long time!
I plan to continue the Halloween event for a short period starting on 2nd November and also post up this year’s Halloween costumes.


I’m only going to wrap things up with a little extra on the side, so this year I will be drawing and posting requests at my normal update pace.

But since I’d feel left out if I don’t do anything on 31st, I plan to post a comic strip that I’ve done previously, but it’s a serious story that’s not festive at all…

Notice

I’m sorry for being on haitus for so long and for making you all worry!!
I seriously am sorry about this, and thank you for your continuous support.

So this time, I finally have some news for you!

A new series Hetalia World✰Star has started at Jump+!
It will feature countries and historical figures in omnibus styles, there will be roman emperors, impressionists, and also that person you are all so familiar with.


Germany in Jump+ is more gruff.

I’ve once drawn Emperor Nero as a muscular man with black hair, but after some research, it turns out he’s a subculture dude with bright hair and light-blue eyes, and that’s why I’ve drawn him this way in the new series.

【I also drew this!】

■ALDNOAH. ZERO Anthology Comic Vol.1 on sale on 11th October.

I drew the cover of this comic!
My editor said something worrisome about this project so I was bracing myself for it, but it turned out to be even wilder than my expectations.

■Schoolyard Horror Stories: Monday and Schoolyard Horror Stories: Tuesday, now on sale!


It’s a new horror series by iijima-ssensei where the setting is moved to an elementary school. I drew the cover and character designs for it.
Wednesday will also be full of characters will very unique personalities.
Some stories are eerie, others are strange, some are only scary to the person who experienced it, and others are outright terrifying if you really think about them! There are many different types of stories, it’s a great read!

And now something that’s already been announced.

■Rural High school Horror Stories

I am really sorry for the long wait. There is something I want to say about this project, and when I have all the information prepared I will make an announcement about it!

【I went on a trip to Finland!】

I learned more about the partnership among The Nordics, and also how Estonia is a great merchant. I also saw a derpy-looking Moomin.


“I’m a Greeting Moomin at the Finland Airport! Hellooo!”

It’s Stinky! Mr. Stinky is so cool…

【Scary Story That Happaned at a Countryside High School】 ver0.1 verified version

“Countryside High School” version 0.1 verified version download

Sorry for the wait!
Since I finally uploaded it at the above URL, go ahead!

Because a strange bug seemed to appear
just when I was making a smug face after making a self-made system,
the current version, along with the verified & original version, became the default system.
If the bug gets fixed I definitely want to go by the self-made system!

Scary story that happened at a countryside high school

Sorry I’ve been absent for a long while.
Here’s news of the commemoration visual novel game.

The story, which will be distributed very soon, is a horror visual novel game in which
Y of the newspaper club listens to the scary story of this district
from students gathered by senpai by plan of the newspaper club.
Since it’s a free distribution, if you don’t mind, please try to play it.

In the tribute work of the scary story which happened at my school of youth,
the school principal is a man who, by tradition, faithfully partakes in the Awa Dance Festival.
As for the great guest, we’ve got a great scenario written for him!

He is a Canadian-like person, but he isn’t a Canadian.
The protagonist’s friends looking like they’re from Eastern Europe is also an optical illusion.

Y – Protagonist, 2nd year student

For the protagonist of “Countryside High School”,
since he opened the door of an empty classroom, the poor boy had terrible experiences:
somebody getting killed, being infected by something strange,
ending up taking care of a strange pet, etc.

Nothing really stands out about him, but having a friendly atmosphere, he’s modest but won’t make enemies.
He’s the type that can get along well with just about anyone.
He believes in not disturbing the peace.

He was an original concert band club member, but he quit because it was too much hard work.
He was in charge of the trombone.
At 175 cm (~5’7) and having some muscle,
he considered the sports club, but stuck with band club with the muscles.
He’s very partial to the newspaper club either because
they would do club activities seriously or because of senpai.

By choosing to continue the story which depends on a normal boy
he will get really irritated at the narrator at any place on almost all the routes,
and odd bits of side-poking and lashing out will come and go.

He has a crush on L-san, someone he’s shared the same classes with continuously since primary school,
but to be really frank, he is discovering much about her.

L-san – 2nd year student

A classmate who’s a childhood friend and the unrequited love of the protagonist.
A bright, active girl, she isn’t a beauty,
but she’s rather popular with many people regardless of gender.

The meeting of the scary story hasn’t been added,
but according to the route it will appear.

Apologies for the absence and a big thank you

I’m so sorry for not updating for so long!
All I could think about this month was about how much I wanted to update the Halloween event and how much I wanted to draw hetalia, and I hope I’ll be finally able to continue tomorrow. I’m sorry I made you all worry.

This month’s serialisation combined with the work on the tankoubon and two other projects made me incredibly busy in the last days, but inspired by the enthusiasm of all the people working late in the night on Christmas Eve and Day and also thanks to the encouraging letters and messages, I somehow got through everything.

Thank you for all the Christmas presents!
There were many cats and bunnies, so cute! I’ll treasure them all. Also everybody is so good at drawing!

I have returned!

I have returned!
I got to see a sample of next year’s calendar!
You’d better run for it, Russia.
I plan to update the manga around 12:00.

This is about these three’s appearances in video games.
The game they’re playing is Red Alert 3.

While beautiful sniper or a super spy or a battling bear fight intensely, the leader character in the Japanese-ish setting is a psychic high school girl with pigtails. The people who made the game understand only too well.
