COMITIA157, held at Tokyo Big Sight on August 23rd (Sunday), has successfully concluded! 💜❄️ Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by our booth and picked up a book or merchandise! ❤️🎩 The booth on the day This time, we set up our booth using a yellow and orange checkered tablecloth and a large tapestry of our mascot girl as landmarks. 👏( ˊᵕˋ*) clap clap It seems my work stood out even from a distance, and I was so happy that many people stopped to look at my illustrat

Back then, I basically used a mouse even when drawing on my PC. I used an Elecom mouse. I used it for everyday PC operations, of course, but also for little sketches. Looking back, drawing with a mouse was quite difficult (laughs). When I tried to draw a line, it wouldn't go where I wanted it to, or the curves would be jagged. Sometimes, trying to fix the finer details would make things even worse. Even so, I had been drawing with a mouse for a long time, so I thought, "Well,

Around this time, I was watching "BoBoiBoy Galaxy: Sori (S2)" on Netflix. I was already familiar with the 'BoBoiBoy' series, but I really liked the space-themed atmosphere of the 'Galaxy' series, so when I found it on Netflix, I remember thinking, "Oh, it's here," and starting to watch it right away. What impressed me most about watching 'Sori' was definitely the sense of teamwork among the BoBoiBoys. The action and battles using their abilities were fun, but it was the inter

This story takes place in 2019, when I was in my second year of junior high school. Back then, I watched a lot of YouTube. After coming home from school, doing my homework, and eating dinner, watching YouTube was a little treat for me. Then one day, while watching YouTube, I came across "BoBoiBoy Movie 2". "BoBoiBoy" is a Malaysian animated series featuring characters who fight using various abilities. It has a different feel from Japanese anime, which I found quite refreshin

In August 2018, when I was in the first year of junior high school, I went to a theme park called "Movie Animation Park Studios (MAPS Perak)" in Perak, Malaysia. Looking back now, it's hard to believe it was 8 years ago. Time flies... MAPS had a variety of attractions, but the one I remember most is "BoBoiBoy 4D Adventure Theatre" . I knew about BoBoiBoy back then, so just the fact that there was a BoBoiBoy attraction got me pretty excited. And it wasn't just a regular video;

This story takes place in 2016, when I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Back then, I used to watch a lot of YouTube and would randomly search for all sorts of videos. That's when I stumbled upon the Malaysian animated series, "BoBoiBoy Galaxy." When I first saw it, I was like, "What kind of anime is this?" (laughs). Since it's an overseas animation, it naturally has a different atmosphere from Japanese animation. However, with its space-based adventures, action, a

Back then, I quite enjoyed watching YouTube at home. Rather than deciding "I'm going to watch this today!" like I do now, I would just click on a video that caught my eye and then watch related videos one after another. Then one day, I stumbled upon a Malaysian animated film on YouTube called "BoBoiBoy The Movie." At first, I think I was thinking something like, "What is BoBoiBoy?" Since it was an overseas animation, the atmosphere was a little different from the Japanese ani

In 2016, I was in the fifth grade of elementary school. Around that time, I transferred from the school I had been attending to a special needs school. When I decided to transfer schools, I thought about a lot of things, like, "What will the new school be like?" and "Will I be able to make friends?" I was excited to go to an unfamiliar place, but I was also a little anxious. And then, I went to a new school for the first time. At first, I was nervous and couldn't bring myself

Back then, I often used the PC at home to play around with MS Paint and Roblox . I didn't have a pen tablet when I was using MS Paint, so I drew with a regular mouse . Looking back now, drawing with a mouse is quite difficult, but at the time I didn't really mind and just drew whatever I liked. Even if the lines were shaky, I enjoyed it nonetheless. And another game I often played was Roblox. When I played Roblox, I liked to record the gameplay while listening to my favorite

This time, I'd like to write about what happened when I was in the third and fourth grades of elementary school, that is, around 2014 and 2015. Around this time, I was being bullied by my friends at school. Looking back now, it happened when I was in elementary school, but it was quite painful for me at the time. Since school was a place I went to almost every day, I would sometimes think, "I wonder if they'll say something to me again today." I think it started with a little

This story takes place in July 2010, when I was just four years old. The cell phones my parents used back then were what's known as "feature phones." They were flip phones that you operated by pressing buttons, and they were quite common back then. But one day, my parents decided to buy new cell phones. The newest addition is the iPhone 4 . It was the first iPhone for our family. Nowadays, smartphones that you operate by touching the screen with your fingers are commonplace,

I suddenly remembered something, so this time I'll write about television from my childhood. In 2011, I was five years old. I was living in Malaysia at the time, and the TV channel I watched most often was TV3 . One of the animated shows I discovered there was **"BoBoiBoy"**. While BoBoiBoy is now known as one of Malaysia's leading animated series, for me, the first impression I have is that it's "an animated series I watched on TV when I was a child." Since I was only five y

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a quick experiment I did using AI to generate manga panels. I tried creating the same scene using ChatGPT and Gemini to see how differently they handle visuals and story flow. The scene is simple: a much-needed day off at the beach, perfect weather, and running into an old friend, Gopal! 1. The 3D Cinematic Vibe (ChatGPT / DALL-E) The first version turned out with a high-detail, 3D animated movie look. Style: Realistic lighting, rich tex

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

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.

Hey everyone! Yesterday (June 7th), I attended COMITIA156 at Tokyo Big Sight, and wow… what an incredible, creative, and absolutely exhausting day!

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

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.
