Welcome :D

Let me show you some of my 4koma (about my life with cats).
Nao-p is my nick name my friend Mami Tachibana gave me. And I call her Mami-p. Of course it comes from Wedding Peach "Momo-p". No one calls me by the name except for her, but I love the 4 koma cartoon "Go Go Momo-pi (Gan-bare Momo-p)"(In the paperbacks) so I use it. :)
Oh, I'm a manga artist Nao Yazawa, and author of Wedding Peach, by the way. :)

These "comic strips" come from my 4-koma blog (in Japanese). You can see all of them in original here. If you have a request which 4koma will be next, tell me. :D

The subject
can be anything about Coffee Party characters. Croissant, Eclair, Dango, and others. 4-koma, 8-koma,  illustration, manga, comic, everything is OK.

You should take Croissant or Eclair at least. You can add your original character if you like - he or she should be named by a sweet (hairstyle), typical one in your country (Something nice with coffee). 

On the first page, your name and title(if you have) are required. (see below images)


The language must be English, I'll add Japanese subtitle later. So please keep some space for subtitle. Of course you can add the Japanese subtitle by yourself.

You can read some back numbers from here. See how Croissant and Éclair are like.

Vol.1-2
Vol.2

You don't need export the file, both Clip Studio and Manga studio file are acceptable. But all the text layers should be rasterized. (I recommend to keep the text layers. You can put all text layers in one folder and copy it, then merge the folder. It's automatically rasterized
