The pronunciation of main character Shinichi’s name is like “Shinuchi” or “Kondoru (Condor).”

Yuki Suenaga

I read Meitantei no mama de ite, Naruse ha tenka wo tori ni iku (Naruse Goes to Conquer the Country While Still Being a Detective). It was great!

Me & Roboco

I got a leg cramp and was in a lot of pain… I’ve been saying it’s a screaming calf muscle like a soccer player.

Sakamoto Days
Yuto Suzuki

For instant ramen, I like Sapporo Ichiban salt flavor. For cup yakisoba, I go with Peyoung.

Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami

I forgot to draw the flashy thing on Makora’s chest. I didn’t mention it before, but I had also forgotten Sukuna Nue’s mark.

Blue Box

I talked with a college buddy in a cafe for the first time in forever. The apple pie was delicious.

I was able to go on a 30-minute walk with my kid. We got a strange doll in a gacha machine and some ice cream for the way back. It was so fun.
