I was really new to manga/anime in 2009... gosh, that feels like a lifetime ago xD I was never an “artist”. My sibling was the artist in the family, and to everyone who knew us both, my art was just “a bad imitation”. It was considered “cute”, in the way that a small child’s drawings are cute, not because it’s good but because a small child made it in imitation of something else (being the youngest of my family/friend group, I was usually treated like a kid no matter how old I was...) 

I didn’t have any other artist friends growing up (or, heck, any other friends who liked anime and manga hardly). I had only one person as a reference, and the only message I got from that person and from everyone who saw both our art was that my art was bad. 

To the few people who did encourage me, thank you. I probably wouldn’t have kept drawing if it weren’t for you all. Which means, I wouldn’t have started my comic if it weren’t for you all.
