My name is Mochizuki Seina. I was born in Suginami-ku in Tokyo. I'm 23 years old. Currently majoring in 東京芸大, art school from Tokyo. I'm currently studying and working part-time in a local konbini while I'm working on my manga about language learning.
I made a self portrait, enjoy ~
Also... hehe,
Chapter 1's draft is finally finished!

Heyo ~
Been focusing more on my project. I think I learned a lot from the mangas I've read. There are a lot more to read though, and I really wanted to complete the Tokyo Revengers' manga...

I'm shifting my focus towards progressing as much as I can, since that's what matters the most right now.

I currently have an infection and I'm still in recovery.
I'm trying to read manga today but... I'm having an asthma crisis on top of all this.
It's getting way too hot here and I just want to feel better. Life this year feels rough...

Reading Tokyo Revengers vol. 5. Stopping at page 93, I can't...
June 9, 2025 at 9:06 PM
Okay, busy times are over. So... back on track ~

We're continuing the 1日1冊 (One day, one manga volume) challenge.
I'm happy to be back, but I'm still recovering from my most recent sickness episode...

Day 1 - I managed to read Tokyo Revengers vol. 4 today.

Have been watching anime again recently.

I can't even think this much with my head being this overcharged... but ideas start to overflow my mind if I let me rest some time without being anxious about work.

This is Kanon (2006), it's really funny and lighthearted <3

Overtime work is harsh... I've been a bit stressed. I did it so tomorrow I can go to the Hol Language Shrine in Nagano.

It's said that the Main Shrine is built in the first Hol's birthplace. Hol Esura is the second one.

No wonder everyone said that nobody visited them. It is somewhat far away.

Character #3 - Inagaki Jin

Maybe the best student ever. Great at everything... but languages. No matter how much he tries at studying: he can't seem to ever speak.
He can be hard to deal with sometimes, but he's really kind when you get to know the man behind the mastermind.

Remember to take it easy sometimes.

You want yourself to do awesome things, right? What if I told you that if you take care of your garden (yourself), it can bear top quality fruits?

Listen to your needs. Work to live, don't live to work.

無理しないでくださいね。

Character #2 - Imai Tsukasa

Sassy, social and full of charisma. She doesn't get the grades, but she knows how to communicate well... but not with everyone.
Her dream is to be able to get to know everyone in the entire world, so she's determined to learn languages...
But she still doesn't know how.

Realised that I have to change a lot from my first chapter in order for it to be good.

I'm kind of frustrated, but I think that the result might be even better this time.
I have a long way to go, but we're still walking.

Here, a little drawing of Tsukasa <3

Sometimes, one step back means two steps forward.

Today, my manga editor told me to reconsider chapter 1 a bit in order to make it fit with the idea I was following with the rest of chapters and it all made more sense.

Even if my chapter 1 felt fantastic, it ALWAYS can be better.

Stay tuned <3

Working in the manga's Chapter III!

I love all my characters, truly.
As for now, I think it's important to love your own characters in order to write them, so you can feel them, but.. Inagaki Jin is my personal favourite among the Hol disciples
Soon, Jin's first appearance in Chap III

Stay tuned!

Reading Torishima-san's book about the best techniques applied in manga.

I can't wait for learning a lot from him. He's a truly knowledgeable person as Toriyama-sensei and many more successful mangaka's editor.

I've been a little bit under the weather today, so I rested 'productively'.

Finished Chapter 2's Nemu revision!

I'm quite happy with the results, but I think that I can polish the pacing a little bit.
I'm specially concerned about what type of analogies would be suitable for theoric explanations.

Enough for today! Here's a little character lineup I made a while ago.

Bibliography #1 - Making Comics
This was very informative, actually. This was a birthday present from someone that fully believed in my manga, and I won't deceive her.
What I loved the most about this is that this book is teaching concepts the way I want to teach as well (comic about making comics).
