New year, the 1st entry.

Happy new year 2015!

On the day last year, my 17 years old cat Moko died. Since then, I've lived without a cat - it was the first time since I lived with my first cat, more than 20 years ago.

I got 2 new cats in the end of November in 2014, stated to live with cats again. My FB friend knew already, Kuro and Mei. They are sisters, abour 5 months. I forgot how energetic young cats are, they are amazing! 

(The kitten is just doodle, she is Kochibi)

I stopped to update new 4koma for a while. I wanted to re-start it from today (Japanese new year holiday finished), but failed. It's not very good you failed something in the begging of the new year. (>_<)

Actually I have some 4koma, because I've drawn little by little. But I haven't finish the coloring and translating for this, English blog. 

Anyway, I'd like to entry 3 times /week, Mon./Wed./Fry., for instance. ...Well, I hope. 

How did I spend during new year...

I made Kuro and Mei channel on Youtube, for cat's videos. :D

Nao Yazawa channel is for How to draw manga. 

4koma Kindle manga(English) free campaign

Because Go Go Nao-p! Vol.2 English edition has been released (at last!), I set vol.1 free. From today 23th to 27th, the book is free on Amazon.

Go Go Nao-p! English

Although the 4koma which vol.2 has less than vol.1 has, it has some extra illustrations/sketches, from my other works. (Mizuki, Nozomi, Moon and Blood etc.)

Go Go Ｎao-p! vol.2

I hope you enjoy! 

Webcamera-test

I had a class in this morning. I was planning to run a test with a new web camera in the school and brought my note PC.  (for an online class)

I bought my PC more than 3 years ago, it doesn't work well sometimes now, but the school have no PC for web camera.

I wanted to have a skype test with USA, but it was canceled. Still, I need to check if I can operate the camera with my note.

For some reason, when I the PC on, "updat 200 of 125057..." WHAT? I had to wait 30 min. until the boot up.

it was the first time I used web camera, but there was no help (The school has a big problem with English and PC >_<;) There was no manual, just only one paper, it explained you need to DL software with drawings.

Find the exact file and DL .... slow. Because it was very slow, I turned off Mcafee's realtime scan, but it didn't work.

Anyway, connect the camera and took some video of my hand, adjusting the height and the angle.

Done somehow.

I tried to upload it on Youtube to see how it looks like, but it says more than 20 min. for upload. I gave it up and tried to Google hangout, but I couldn't change the setting of camera, it fixed on the PC's camera. I thought about "record Video" of G+. Then - "No camera is connected" ??? Seems my note's USB didn't work well...

I was working till evening, but went nowhere. I took the camera home to check with my desktop, it's a high end machine.

Came back home and I found some poo outside of a cat litter. One put it out when she use the pooed toilet ! >_<

I uploaded the video on youtube at home, this time it took just a few minutes. Come to think about it, the video which took with a web camera  can't be large. :( My note work well (not fast, but not slow) Oh well...

If you have any good idea to take a video at your hand with a webcamera, let me know! :)

NOZOMI is free on Kindle now.

I'd forgotten that I set a free campaign from 18th - 22th! ^^;

NOZOMI is English one-shot manga (all colored) . 

A shy young girl whose life changes the day she wishes on a falling star. Her wish is unexpectedly granted but not in the way she expected. A playful demon comes to Earth to teach her about love… the hard way. Full color, 59pages Cute, sweet shojyomanga like Wedding Peach.

The title free on Amazon.

Kittens are not well..

I took my kittens to my vet (Moko's vet) the second preventive injection. They got the first one at the different vet from their former home, so this is the first meeting.

Kuro snivels green snot often, I asked about it. It's because of her mother (she was a stray cat), she has a chronic sinus problem, the vet said. It could be better as she grows up, I hope so. She had a clod badly when she was found, it might be the cause.

Kuro is a cat,  so she licks, not sniffs it.

Then, they passed a midnight athletic festival and just sleep. Looks languid. Kittens got fever because of preventive injection often, there is nothing worried about people said on the web. 

May is getting better till this night, but Kuro is still sleeping, don't play.Both of them ate some food (less than usual) and peed, so I think they are OK. Ｗａｉｔｅ and see...

Meet me at Kaigai Mang Festa

Although it's rather a short notice, I'm going to have a table at Artist Alley of Kaigai Manga Festa 2014 (23th). The space is Artist Alley C-05 "CoffeeParty"

I'll sell some Dojinshi and Books, In Search of Lost Coffee vol.3, for instance. I wanted to bring The Isolated Zone/Shinku Chitai, but it's too heavy and I gave up.

I don't take a panel in this time, but I'll bring a file (has some original drawings) for extra space of my table. (maybe I have...) Come to my table and see them! If you like manga, it would be interesting.

After then, I joined Special exhibition of Artist Alley at Ichigaya, from 24th to 28th.
(Dainippon Insatu Ichigaya Show room)
大日本印刷市ヶ谷ショールム

I'll sell books there, same books which I sell at Kaigai Manga Festa. I have a pabel here, so I did some drawings for display. I'll sell them as well book.

It's held from Monday to Friday. I won't be there all the time, and have not decided when I go and don't. Ff you are planing to come, let me know!

I hope to see you at the venue and the exhibition showroom!
