I was talking to a friend on voice chat while working on my manga, and suddenly half the day went by.

My mom sent me candied sweet potatoes again. They are covered in chocolate and delicious.

I wanted to go to the moon for research purposes, but unfortunately I was too busy.

Hitsuji Gondaira

Lately I’ve been obsessive about checking whether my windows and doors are locked. Why am I so anxious?

Me & Roboco
Shuhei Miyazaki

mm_meandroboco_Miyazaki

I want to give New Year’s money to Tozuka Sensei’s relative’s kids too. That’s how much that comment cheered me up.

It’s really cold, so I hope it warms up soon. But I do appreciate the four seasons. Yeah!

Black Clover
Yūki Tabata

mm_BlackClover_Tabata V2

I sometimes accidentally call my wife “chahan”(fried rice). It’s not what you think! Her name is very similar.

PPPPPP

I heard Ursaring is also in Arceus, so I’m overjoyed! I also like Cyndaquil.

Elusive Samurai
Yusei Matsui

MM_elusivesamurai_matsui

I just learned that the blue in the French flag changed three years ago. I’ve referred to it without even knowing.

I spent two hours thinking about what to write here.

Ayakashi Triangle
Kentaro Yabuki

The town in Kochi that I grew up in is going to be cleared out for redevelopment. How sad.

Undead Unluck
Yoshifumi Tozuka

Umenuki’s “Char’s Counterattack” from Komakasugite Tsutawarani Kaku-ge Monomane Senshuken is great no matter how many times I watch it!

Magu-chan: God of Destruction
Kei Kamiki

MM_maguchan_ueki

I’d be overjoyed if someone felt that this was a good manga. I’ll see you in Jump Giga.

I don’t think anyone in the world has had more refills than me at the Renoir coffee shop.

Twin Star Exorcist
Yoshiaki Sukeno

I’ve been doodling in a croquis sketchbook like I used to. I feel like I’ve returned to my youth.

Show-ha Shoten
Takeshi Obata

Some books I had piled up were confused for garbage and taken away by someone. Not good!

The third season of the anime is now over. Thank you for watching it. Great work by the staff and actors!
