There was only ever one print run that ended almost 20 years ago now, but you can read the whole thing online and since it's an obscure series used copies still go for the original price! It's only ten volumes so it doesn't take long to read, and buying the whole set is feasible if you prefer physical media.

★ Oumota Day 2026 ★

We're holding the first Oumota event of the year on March 14th, also known as White Day!

White Day is a holiday that originated in Japan in 1978. As Valentine's Day in Japan has traditionally been a holiday where women give chocolate as gifts to men they like, White Day was marketed by chocolate companies as a day for the men to reciprocate those gifts and affections. Given the gendered nature of these traditions, queer couples often choose to celebrate these holidays in their own way.

Oumota Day is a single day event dedicated to spreading love for the wonderful creations of the Oumota fan community. There will be 3 prompts to choose from (or combine!) and all you need to do in order to participate is create and share content inspired by one or more of the prompts! Post your work here on Tumblr and use the tag #oumotaday or #oumotaday2026 and it will be reblogged by us as soon as we see it. For additional information you can check out our Rules and FAQ pages, and if you still have any questions, feel free to shoot us an ask!

Prompts: confession | confection | constellation

If you would like to specifically make an Oumota Day piece that is White Day themed, it's welcomed but certainly not required! White Day iconography commonly features the colors white & pastel blue, white chocolate, marshmallows, hearts, lilies, and roses.

SLEEPING BEAUTY

a mini "what if" comic in which kokichi does die after the simulation due to health complications or something like that.

sketch.

They immediately think that his presence would make the situation better. While hes probably dying on a bathroom floor thinking about all the ways he failed them, all the ways hes not enough, all the ways Shuichi is better than him.

Kaito, with his definitely genuine optimism, proved that he had an incredible amount of resilience, and because of that, the group saw him as someone who would be helpful—essential, even—in such desperate times.

At this point, they could barely even imagine what they’d do without him. They were convinced that once they saved Kaito, he’d think of something that could bring them closer to finding their new hope.

Which is… a lot of pressure to put on a terminally ill teen who can barely keep himself standing—

The tragic part is that Kaito kind of put himself in that position. The group only saw him as this huge beacon of hope because he made himself look that way. Like someone who could overcome anything. He became what he always wanted to be—someone everyone could rely on. But beneath all his pain and insecurities, he barely even realized. 

And Kokichi was in a similar, yet different, kind of dilemma.

Especially after the Hope’s Peak Flashback Light, the group latched onto the idea that if they stopped him—the supposed mastermind—the despair and senseless deaths would finally end. But—

Kokichi wasn’t the mastermind.

Just like Kaito, he spent most of his time in the hangar completely isolated. Alone with his thoughts, forced to reflect on the killing game and his own actions. But because of how Kokichi framed himself, the others were convinced he was the evil behind all their suffering—and that stopping him would change things for the better.

And Tsumugi. Tsumugi.
