I'm a comic artist. I’ve been automatically getting poor as Japanese yen is dramatically getting weak. What’s the hell.
Read this. Make an anime from this. Make money for me. Thank you.

We are sure that @dialhforhagai.bsky.social is one of the best critics in the game right now, and we are honored to publish pretty much anything he writes.

A thing wot I have been noticing more and more lately...
Emerging comics creators *please* make sure you have e-mail contact details available online somewhere. Because you never know when someone (i.e. me) might be wanting to chat with you about something very much to your advantage.
