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, Éclair, and others. It must have Croissant or Éclair at least. 

4-koma, 8-koma,  illustration, manga, comic, everything is OK.

Who is Croissant and Éclair?

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). 

You can buy the back numbers by mail order.

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