Missing Tokyo Ghoul Hours: OPEN I’ve been a bit nostalgic lately and started thinking that it would be cool if more zines were available in the fandom, especially now since the series has ended. I then started thinking about the possibility of a TG zine (featuring characters from the prequels, sequels and spinoffs) to allow fans to reconnect with both the fandom and the series again, in some meaningful way. Of course, this wouldn’t happen right away and would involve a lot of planning and additional mods, but I just wanted to open an interest check to see if the fandom is still active and if this project would be worth pursuing. If you’re interested in participating or supporting this project, please fill out the survey form provided in the link below 🙏.

i dont like this

But he’s also given us some amazing glimpses of the PERSON behind that. We’ve seen him being so incredibly humble, so incredibly sweet and kind, silly and funny, hard-working, geeky as any of us, and everything in between.

He’s a guy that decided to make a comic about a superhero with a penis for a head.

He’s awesome at word-play and silly puns.

He jokes at his own expense, and teases his assistants in comics.

He has great taste in music, and has introduced me to some really neat artists I didn’t know before he mentioned them or got them involved with his work.

His style has developed over the years, and it’s a joy to see him grow as an artist. His personal style of artwork that reminds me of watercolors is so incredibly unique and beautiful. He does these fantastic, realistic portraits of people as well as breathtaking, impressionist pieces. 

He’s such an incredible person, and it’s an honor to have gotten to witness him sharing those pieces of himself with the world.

Of course I love his works. But he, the person making a silly post, also makes me smile. 

How should I put it

I’ve been drawing all kinds of illustrations recently, from work I’m doing now to non-work related stuff. And among them there are some I want to upload, but I keep thinking, “but it’s off-topic if I upload this on Twitter”, which has led to start wondering, just what is considered “on-topic”?

Hmm, is Ishida Sui’s account dedicated to just TG? But the art of Connor I posted a few days ago has nothing to do with me… No, it does have something to do with me. Since it’s from a game I played. I mean, if it’s something I drew, it should by all means have something to do with me, right? Then what criteria should I use to determine that? Should it have some kind of connection with the person looking at the illustration? Of course, when I uploaded that art of Connor, I don’t want people to think, “who the hell’s that android dude with the LED ring embedded in his temple?”, just “”Hey, it’s Connor”…wait, do I really want people to think that? I wish people wouldn’t think about it so much… So that means having a connection with the person looking at it has nothing to do with me. How should I put this, if I upload an illustration for a specific reason…no, when I make a remark that’s all that can be said, even if there weren’t any intention behind it, it feels like people imagine some kind of intention anyways. I uploaded it because I drew it, nothing more to it. I may not have any clear intentions behind it, someone else may feel kind of intention from it, but I don’t want there to be any intentions behind it. Can something exist with zero intentions? I just did it out of a wish to upload it. Or is there no difference between intentions and wishes?

I’m going to keep thinking about it, so for now it’ll be difficult for me to upload illustrations on social media. The reason why I began thinking all this in the first place might be because even though there are tons of places to upload art, none of it currently matches my needs. A place where I can post art with ease, and have it be easy to view would be nice. Tumblr is harder to use than you’d expect. And it’d be a pain to make a new account. I guess blogs are going to be the next generation. Personal sites are good too, they feel very nostalgic. They give off an underground vibe… I think I’ll definitely make a hidden link. Then post a manga about links jumping underground. And the main character’s face will look like a penis…wait, the data for that is already…

I’m wheezing—

I spoke to my friend @the-insanity-of-mojiru​   who understands Japanese to confirm whether or not there was an error in translation, read on to find out what she discovered. (Also if this pleases you, go send her anon love or smt cus she’s too scared to post this)

The following is quoted and tidied up from my conversation with her :

“The line in Japanese is 養父らに引き取られ”

The last chapter has been published on Young Jump which is now for sale.

I would like to thank the readers, Young Jump’s editorial department, people from the printing offices, people who were involved in this work, and all the staff from the bottom of my heart.

Including the preparatory period, I have been drawing from June 2011 up to June 2018, for 7 years, with barely any breaks.

Despite it being such a crude work made by an unskilled hand, I’m quite proud of myself for being able to draw until the very end.

For the past six months, I’ve been drawing while mentally preparing myself that it was going to end. However, once the end was right around the corner, I was suddenly overcome with the feeling of being omitted/removed/collapsing.

Until the very end, I’ve placed such a huge burden on the editorial department, as well as the printing office. But I’m very thankful for the fact that they have accepted my absurd requests/absurdity.

Being able to accomplish many challenges, this has been my sustenance.

I am deeply grateful to my editor. He worked like… a cushion…? between me and the outside.

It’s his fault that I’ve become like this, but it’s also thanks to him that I’ve become like this. I believe that the person responsible for creating Ishida Sui is my editor.

10 years? 11 years? Thank you for all this time. And I’m sorry for a lot of things.

I’ve received a lot of encouragement from other authors who are serialized in the same magazine. Thank you very much.

Especially Hara-sensei, a master who created Kingdom, who was such a big existence to me.

I will be going ahead. Everyone who’s being serialized, I’ll be cheering for all of you.

I’m also grateful to the staff who worked along with my crazy schedule as well as hung out with me during fun times. Everyone’s so nice so I want all of you to live long.

I’ve caused problems for all of you but I’ll give you money, so please forgive me. Still calculating for the final month’s pay so please wait for a while. Also, please bring your receipts.

It also makes me glad to hear thoughts from the readers. I’ve happily read all the letters I’ve received.

Characters’ birthdays… even on days where nothing’s happening, a mountain of gifts were received which made it fun all-year round.

It’s highly appreciated even you just stood and read*. To me, it counts as support. I’m very, very thankful.

*stand and read = go to the bookstore/convenience store just to read without buying

When I absentmindedly did some drawing while I was bored yesterday, I ended up filling up 31 pages of a B4 Croquis sketchbook in one day. (Even though I still had a few stuff to do…)

How do mangakas spend their time after their work ends…?

For now, I’ll spend time relaxing by drawing.

Once again, I’m deeply grateful to everyone who have been involved. Thank you, thank you very much. Let’s meet again somewhere.

Thanks*. Have a nice day.
