Hey everyone! Yesterday (June 7th), I attended COMITIA156 at Tokyo Big Sight, and wow… what an incredible, creative, and absolutely exhausting day! For those who don't know, COMITIA is a massive convention dedicated entirely to original self-published manga and art. The energy in the East Halls was unreal! My Booth: Laurris Character 🧡 First off, a huge thank you to everyone who stopped by my booth, Laurris Character! I went with a bright, sunny yellow gingham theme this tim

I’m honestly so heartbroken right now... I wanted the Pino Dino BoBoiBoy plushie so, so badly!! 😭✨ Look at how adorable he is in that little dinosaur hoodie! It was available at 7-Eleven back home, but unfortunately, I couldn't make it back to Malaysia this time since I’m currently living in Japan. Living overseas definitely has its perks, but moments like this make FOMO hit so hard! If anyone in Malaysia managed to grab one, please cherish him for me... 🥲💔 Guess I’ll just

Hey everyone! I’m super excited to announce that my brand new manga, "Raihime" (Lightning Princess), is officially done! 🎉⚡️ It was a lot of hard work, but I put my absolute all into every single page—from Elemental Orange's grand entry to her epic power-up into Raihime Form! 💪✨ You're definitely in for some electrifying action against giant monsters! ⚡️👾 Here’s a quick sneak peek of the cover and a few sample pages! 📸 👇 I really hope you guys enjoy reading it as much as

I’ve been waiting for this moment for ages—Charlie Puth 2026 in Japan! I had my credit card ready, the countdown set, and I was so hyped to see him live. But... life had other plans. I just checked the site, and the tickets are officially sold out. Sold out! I am absolutely gutted. Honestly, it was so close, yet so far. I guess I’ll just have to keep blasting Voicenotes and Nine Track Mind on repeat until the next chance comes around. Looking at these photos makes me want to

I am absolutely losing it right now! Just saw the Official Teaser BoBoiBoy Movie 3 and I’m already beyond hyped. Check out this amazing teaser poster I found: Everything looks so intense—the red color scheme, the vibe, and the fact that we’re getting another movie is enough to make my day. You can watch the official teaser video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNL5CI11HY8 While it’s been a long wait, the teaser confirms we can look forward to the release in mid-2027! I’

Hey everyone! I have some incredibly exciting news to share today. Guess what? I’m officially going to see Pentatonix live right here in Japan this coming August! 🎉✨ I still can’t believe I managed to snag tickets. I’ve been listening to their mind-blowing acapella covers and originals for ages, and seeing them perform live has been at the very top of my bucket list. August honestly cannot come soon enough. (づ￣ 3￣)づ Are any of you guys planning to go to their tour? What’s yo

It's now the fifth day of my stay in Malaysia. Today's theme was "food," trying to immerse myself in the local lifestyle! Piping hot! Freshly steamed Pau I found on a street corner This morning, my eyes were suddenly drawn to a silver steamer filled with pure white bao buns . It's a common sight in Malaysian convenience stores and street stalls, but just seeing this lineup makes me excited. Kacang (red bean paste) : RM 2.80 Kaya (Kaya Jam) : RM 2.80 Ayam (chicken) : RM 3.00 D

Let’s take a little trip down memory lane, shall we? If you were to ask me how my music taste developed over the years, you’d probably expect a normal answer. Maybe I grew up listening to my parents' CDs, or maybe I spent hours watching MTV music videos. But honestly? My musical journey started somewhere completely different: in the chaotic, blocky, wonderfully weird world of a video game. 11 Years Ago: The Era of Roblox Audio IDs Picture this: It’s exactly 11 years ago. I’m

Hey everyone! Welcome back to my art blog. ✨ Today, I wanted to share some recent fanart I did of BoBoiBoy! I’ve been practicing a lot with my pen display (liquid tab) lately, and I thought he would be the perfect character to draw while getting the hang of it. I ended up doing two different pieces to test out some different moods and coloring techniques. Here is the first one! For this piece, I went with a more serious, battle-ready look. I really wanted to focus on the ligh

Hello! I participated in "TAMA Comi 12," which was held at Tokyo Tama Mirai Messe on April 5th, so I'd like to share my experience. I woke up early at 6 AM and left the house at 10 AM, but I forgot my jacket and wire mesh. Lol lol (*^^*) ⭐️My booth⭐️ My favorite booth! "Laurris Character" 🧡✨ What particularly caught my eye this time was the **Laurris character** booth. The vibrant yellow checkered display was incredibly cute and simply looking at it lifted my spirits. There

Hello, I'm Hani (Laurris)! Today, I'd like to take a look back at the history of how my artistic career, "Laurris Character," began and the path it has taken. 1. Where it all began: 2015-2018 (the period of self-study and exploration) It may be surprising, but the origins of my digital art date back to 2015. At the time, I didn't even have a dedicated pen tablet, so I used MS Paint with just a mouse and drew pictures through trial and error. 2. Birth of the "Laurris Characte

Our dreamlike time in Malaysia has finally reached its final day. Today, the 18th day, is the day we say goodbye to this country full of memories and head back to Tokyo. "Heritage Lane" found at KLIA Arriving early at the airport (KLIA), I discovered a wonderful exhibition area called "Heritage Lane Melaka"! There was a photo spot that recreated Jonker Walk in Melaka, and I was happy to finally get a taste of Malaysian culture. The illustrations of the bright red postboxes an

Our adventure in Malaysia has finally reached its final day. The 17-day trip, which seemed both long and short, ends with a farewell to the food and the typical Malaysian scenery. 1. A&W's classic root beer float! First, we went to A&W , a must-visit when in Malaysia. I ordered a root beer float poured into an ice-cold mug. The unique herbal aroma and the vanilla ice cream on top blended together to create a sinful taste... This drink in the Malaysian heat is the best, no m

My stay in Malaysia is coming to an end on the 15th day. Today I decided to do something a little different and went to Chili's in a shopping mall in Kuala Lumpur! Consistent American volume! Chili's in Malaysia is the perfect place to go when you want to eat meat, even more so than in Japan. The menu we ordered this time was a classic lineup. Classic Ribeye Steak: A perfectly cooked steak served with plenty of mashed potatoes and broccoli. The combination of the sweetness o

Day 16 of my trip to Malaysia. Today, I finally found this at the supermarket! "Gold Crest Lemon Tea Flavor Jelly Drink" Take a closer look at the packaging...that's right, it's **BoBoiBoy**! This time, he's designed in his Quake (Gempa) form, which is super cool. I couldn't help but buy this Malaysian collaboration product, which is hard to find in Japan. 🥤 My impressions after actually drinking it Taste: Refreshing lemon tea flavor. Texture: The jiggly jelly is filled wi

It's finally the 14th day of my stay in Malaysia. It's a day that has once again made me realize that the charm of this country lies in its food. Today, I'd like to share some heartwarming Malaysian flavors that I encountered in local shopping malls and old-fashioned shops. 1. The classic of classics! "Chicken Rice" at Mydin First, for lunch, I had Hainanese Chicken Rice (Nasi Ayam) at the food court in the large supermarket "MYDIN"! Golden jasmine rice: The rice cooked in c

It's the 12th day of my stay in Malaysia. Today I'll start with an item that I found at a local supermarket and got really excited about! 1. Finally found it! BoBoiBoy Apple Juice I finally got my hands on the Goldcrest BoBoiBoy apple juice I've been looking for (?) for ages! The packaging features the familiar BoBoiBoy. The bottle is actually eco-friendly, meaning it can be used as a water bottle after you've finished drinking it. As an illustrator, just looking at this def

It's the 11th day of my stay in Malaysia. Today was a day to relax and enjoy the "power of nature" and "food" that are unique to Malaysia. 🍕 Dinner tonight at Pizza Hut! I wanted to relax a bit tonight, so I went to Pizza Hut, which is very popular in Malaysia. I ordered a combo like "My Box" that comes with two types of pizza. Chicken Pepperoni: A classic, but topped with plenty of cheese and consistently delicious! Super Supreme-style pizza: Loaded with olives, mushrooms

Today, the 10th day, was a luxurious day of travel, transitioning from the magnificent natural scenery of Malaysia to the vibrant night life of Kuala Lumpur. 1. "Chinese ink paintings in Malaysia" decorate the highway As I was driving in the morning, the limestone mountains near Ipoh came into view . The contrast between the steep cliffs and the vibrant green was so beautiful that I couldn't help but take pictures over and over again. The beauty of nature: the exposed rock

Our trip to Malaysia is finally coming to an end on the 9th day. Today was a fantastic gourmet day, filled with the energy of Malaysia and satisfying both our stomachs and our hearts! ✈️ Wings protecting the Malaysian skies As we moved around, what caught our eye was the display of aircraft lined up in rows! The Malaysian flag (Jal Gumilan) was proudly flying in the building, and propeller planes and helicopters were placed on the vast lawn. It was an impressive sight that ga
