ENG (Machine translation): [Announcement] Today, July 22nd, "A Studio with a Pointed Hat" has reached its 10th anniversary since serialization began...! 10 years?! For real? I've been drawing that long...! I'm shocked. The fact that it's continued this long is entirely thanks to all you readers who keep reading—thank you so much. Here's to more adventures with Coco and friends from here on out!
Chapter 98 has also released today in Japanese, with a black and white version of this image at the cover!
[Image ID: A colour illustration of Coco (with Brushbug), Agott, Richeh and Tetia (with Prince Eoleo's brushbug) captioned with "Happy 10th Anniversary". The girls are each in dynamic poses of walking or jumping. The background is a landscape like the one around the atelier: grasslands with shrubs and rocks, with a mountain range on the horizon.
