I received a book of an English Manga created by Jem Yoshioka ( @jemyoshioka.bsky.social ). Its subject matter is YOKAI (Japanese folklore monster). It is familiar for me as a Japanese. Not only this, it is interesting story.
英語の漫画を入手しました。作者はジェム・ヨシオカさん。日本の妖怪を題材にした漫画です。馴染みやすいだけではなく、ストーリーも面白いです。

Today is Shūbun-no-hi (秋分の日 'Autumn Equinox Day’)📿
Typically falling on September 22nd or 23rd, this time of year coincides with the Buddhist observances 'Shūki Higan-e' (秋季彼岸会 'Autumn Equinoctial Services'). It has been a national holiday since 1948.

FYI relay dinner is real and I’m pretty sure I did invent it. (If you did I’m sorry for claiming it, but also let’s be friends because we obviously both have excellent ideas.)

Regular meal advice: Do meal prep so you have easy meals to hand when you’re low on energy!
ADHD meal advice: So I invented this thing I call “relay dinner” where instead of cooking a whole meal at once I prepare and eat the components of a balanced meal one after another. Dunno why but it works.

Illustrating a 240-page graphic novel means I have an embarrassment of riches when it comes to character expressions.
Which character matches your mood today? I’m feeling like C3. ✨☺️✨
All the expressions are from Folk Remedy Book 1, which releases September 23!

It still feels weird to me that I finished a book and that it’s being released this month, and that people will buy it and read it.
People have already ordered it??? They are *looking forward* to it?????
This isn’t just something I’ve made up in my head????? Weird.
