Thanks to my astigmatism, I’m seeing so many McDonald’s french fries! Yes!!!!!!

Yuto Suzuki

I’m addicted to gummies right now. It’s probably because I couldn’t eat them when I was a kid due to cavities.

My family is full of people born in January. Our family LINE group is really lively right now. Happy birthday, everyone!

Yuji Kaku

I can’t come up with good comments for this section no matter how hard I try. What do I do?

Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami

If there’s no buoyancy or resistance, then why do air bubbles occur? That’s a good question.

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

My room is buried in paper, so I had planned to do a major cleaning to start the year.

Dr. STONE

It’s crazy that humanity made it to the moon over 50 years ago without even the internet.

Black Clover
Yūki Tabata

I had a meeting at Shueisha for the first time in forever and ordered the yuzu juice I used to get. Delicious memories of the past.

I went to the Bleach exhibit. Now I’m working on my own pages with some Bleach manga page replicas right next to them.

High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku
Ryo Nakama

I wanted to do my end-of-the-year cleaning all in one day, so I came up with a detailed plan. No reading books until it’s done.

Mission: Yozakura Family
Hitsuji Gondaira

I got some insoles for the slippers I wear in my studio that supposedly release far-infrared light. It’s sketchy, but they’re warm, so whatever.

Protect Me, Shugomaru!
Daiki Ihara

mm_Ihara_protectme

I’m sorry.

WITCH WATCH
Kenta Shinohara

Shoko Yamai, who I’ve followed since Geinindosei, has a new team called Elegant Jinsei that is just hilarious.

Elusive Samurai
Yusei Matsui

If I ever run into a bear, I plan to sing the song “However.” We’ll see if I can sing the ienakatta part at the end.

Ayakashi Triangle
Kentaro Yabuki

I went to Nakano Broadway with my daughter during the break. I really enjoy the unique atmosphere there.

Kei Kamiki

There’s supposedly a Lickitung slide in Fukushima Prefecture. My desire to see it is immense. It’s just too cool!

PPPPPP

I ate a ton of different gummies. The hard cola-flavored gummies were delicious!

Undead Unluck
Yoshifumi Tozuka

MM_Undeadunluck Tozuka

For the first time in my life, I was able to give otoshidama (New Year’s gift money) to the kids in the family. Sounds like Roboco is super popular with the elementary school kids.

Me & Roboco
Shuhei Miyazaki

On New Year’s Day I got to see a friend I haven’t seen in forever. It was fun!
