I created Ribbon Breaker because it was a story I needed to tell for myself. I believe that's where every meaningful piece of art begins—not by trying to please everyone, but by creating something honest for yourself first.

Only 6 days left!

🚨 Only 7 days left! If you haven't backed the campaign yet, now's the perfect time to take a look. For fans living outside Japan, this is one of the best opportunities to get a copy of my work, along with exclusive Kickstarter rewards that won't be available after the campaign ends.

Somothing I've been keeping secret from you

I went to see it two days after it was released, and I already can't wait to watch it again. Watching it once just wasn't enough, so I'm planning to see it again sometime in August.

Btw, if you happen to visit Japan this summer, I highly recommend checking out the Chiikawa movie. It explores surprisingly deep themes such as revenge, the burdens people carry, and how justice can look different depending on your perspective.

If this English manga project is a success, I'll be able to continue Alex's story. Have you ever wondered what becomes of Alex, Dahlia, Keita, and Vikram after they grow up? Their journey doesn't end here—there's so much more I want to share. Your support isn't just helping publish this manga.

More than anything, I want to unlock the final stretch goal. If we reach it, I'll be able to produce a fully voiced drama for Ribbon Breaker. Ever since I created Alex, I've imagined them being voiced by a female voice actor with an androgynous voice who can convincingly play both boys and girls.

Hi, police?

The campaign has entered its final 10 days! We're about ¥400,000 away from unlocking our first stretch goal! Once we reach it, everyone will get access to the making-of video for the cover illustration. If each of you who sees this chips in, even just a little, we can absolutely make it happen.

The limited-quantity ¥9,000 reward includes the following items: Physical Book (JP), Physical Book (EN), eBook (JP), eBook (EN), and the Special Edition Artbook (AUTO). When I set up this reward, I accidentally forgot to include Physical Book (JP) in the reward description,

The day we first met

I have several OCs, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them are native English speakers. The reason is simple: since I'm not a native English speaker myself, I felt it would be difficult for me to create a convincing native English-speaking character.

What's next after the current English manga project is complete? After three years, I'll finally begin working on my second art book (working title), KARAT 2: King of Flowers.

We've reached 130 backers—thank you so much for believing in this project! But the journey isn't over yet. If we reach the final stretch goal, we'll be able to create a fully voiced drama based on Ribbon Breaker.

One of the reward tiers I highly recommend is the "Bilingual Set + Special Edition Artbook." The art book included in this reward is a special hardcover edition produced in a very limited quantity, making it one of the rarest items I've ever created.

Here's one of the projects I worked on last year

Let me be honest about how I approach social media X is still my main platform, and there's a reason for that. As a professional illustrator working with companies, I need to promote my work where it can reach the largest audience—including both clients and fans. Right now, that platform is still X

One thing I feel bad about is the shipping costs for the crowdfunding rewards—especially for everyone in the U.S. 😭 I'm really sorry they're so expensive.
