To eat or not to eat

A correction　STAIR -> STARE Thanks Friederike !


my new KDP book is in review now. Shinku Chitai The Isolated Zone 1(Japanese Edition). I found the last (I hope it was the last) error and fix it. -.-; Vol. 2 will be released on Dec, so Japanese Kindle Edition is earlier than English one. I'd like to wait for the release of English version was first, but I have to quite it. I can't see when it would be.

English edition vol.1

Amazon/kindle   eManga 

Hotate-kan (Canned scallop adductor (?))

He eats all the food, eats just some of the food, doesn't eat the food at all ... it depends on the mood he is in at the time.

A Place to Eat

I'm reviewing the English translation Itadaki! Panther (My next DMG title) .

The series was made for little girls (around -10 yo), so the dialogues are easy. Still, there are some misunderstandings. it seems you can't avoid it.

This time, I added some drawings and notes for the blank pages between the chapters and blank part of the manga (they were for ads' space) Many of these notes were from the Doujinshi version, it means they are for Japanese fans, especially the people who buy my Dojinshi. We share many information which foreign fans don't know. It seems very difficult to understand the notes without the context.

I didn't think about it when I copied the notes on this edition. Seems the review is not easy work unlike I thought first....

A Poo Trouble

He vomited today,(He's not done for a while)  But he has an appetite and a movement, so he is OK I think...

A problem of Cintiq 24HD

With this, I'm making kindle file of Shinku Chitai: The Isolated Zone Japanese edition.

The Amazon's App., Kindle Comic Creator also makes me panic a bit.

Uploaded the file I made to Amazon, then it rejected because the file was too heavy. It should be under 50MB. :/

I reduced the pixels from 1280 to 800 and succeeded.

But I found a gap in a center of a drawing on 2pages - because I didn't change the pixel setting of KCC.

I fixed the flaw, tried again. After uploaded the file, I found the book missed 10 pages for some reason. Seems something happened when I copied it's Manga Studio file for the kindle edition.

I added the 10 pages then made the file then the size was over the limit because of the adding.

Thank you so much!

Anyway, the book has been uploaded now, it's OK I think (hope). Shinku Chitai ; The Isolated Zone KDP edition (Japanese) will be released within this month.

Vol.2 will be also out in December, ahead of English edition. Although the English version is ongoing, the progress is very slow. I don't think we can make it within this year...sigh.

Went to a vet in vain.

It was about one week ago...

The conclusion is bladder inflammation and he is taking meds (antibiotic) now...

Photo of manga class

I received photos of the class on 1st Nov. from school today, so I posted them(2photos) on FBpage. Let me show you one of them. You get some idea how my class is like, using my original drawing as references.

I have had some classes recently, and they were short, and for beginners. They can't give me exact request because beginners have not particular idea about manga. I show them my drawings and explain what they can do, within the time they have. 

More is better, I mean the example drawings. So I printed out some data I drew for "how to draw manga" books (by Chris Hart) They are nearly 70 pages, I didn't know I drew such many drawings for his books. I intended to file all of the printout and bring it to my class - but the files must be very heavy. Hm....

I didn't got all the books I contributed, but from the books he sent to me - they show you the tips of drawing manga/anime style characters. In that context, these books might work. But it doesn't show how to draw "manga". I've never seen the book which explains "how to draw manga" in English. That's one of the reason I'm interested in teaching manga. If nobody does, I will.
