Hey ! Here comes my one-a-month update ! I didn't draw anything since my last picture (april 10th... O.o) so instead of posting arts, I'm gonna speak about the recents animes I watched.

( Spring anime )

And a meme because this one seems fun !

Taken from flo_nelja :

Ask me about a character from a fandom I know, and I will pick one (or more) of the following to tell you:

(a) three facts about them from my personal headcanon.
(b) a reason they're amazing.
(c) five things that I'd like to see happen to them.
(d) three people that I might ship that character with and why.

Hi all ! Remember this post where I was saying I'll be participating in a Gijinka Calendar organised by ensuing ? Now both calendars are complete and ready for order !

copy/paste from ensuing LJ :

BRO CALENDAR - Available here !
-This is a calendar to celebrate that close relationship between characters… unrelated to each other, but as close as siblings. 12 artists, 12 sets of bros from 12 series. Enjoy!
-Series included: Nurarihyon no Mago, Mononoke, Mushishi, Kamen Rider W, Tiger & Bunny, Dengeki Stryker, Secret Six, Aeon Flux, Ao no Exorcist, Skip Beat, Kaiji, Akagi, Gungrave, and No. 6.

GIJINKA CALENDAR - Available here !
-A year filled with gijinka! Gijinka are human versions of non-human characters. Each month shows a different character from a different series! This is a group effort, with many different artists lending their time and skills to it!
-Series included: Pokémon, Happy Tree Friends, Fairy Tail, Kekkaishi, Adventure Time, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, Sgt. Frog, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Animal Land, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, and You Are Umasou.

You should be able to preview the entirety of each calendar on their product pages.

Each calendar is $15.00. This is a NOT FOR PROFIT calendar, although the price is slightly higher than last year. The increase is to help cover the costs for the production and shipment of calendars for participants. If somehow enough calendars are sold to cover those costs, any other money earned will go to charity (and I will provide proof if desired). I'm not sure if the discount only applies to the project account holder, but the more you buy the lower the cost should(may?) go, so if you have any friends that are interested, try to order together to save some money. Also make sure you go to RetailMeNot and search for coupons for Lulu. Usually you can save a fair amount that way.

I (= ensuing) do have a handful of Bro Calendars on hand for Bay Area people who would like to pick them up from me. These will be available for $12. I will have a few Gijinka Calendars available for the same price in approximately a week.

And for those interested, here is the pics have done for this project :

( Bro & 2 Gijinka )

Splendid from Happy Tree Friends (at first, I was thinking of drawing Flippy but two green-haired military in the same calendar might have been too much), Keroro, Tamama and Giroro from Sgt. Frog and Rin + Yukio from Ao no exorcist.

I received my Bro calendar copy today and it looks really great ! ♥

Well... Not exactly "launches" since I opened my account on Smackjeeves one month ago and started to update Aoi's story at the beginning of september.

Yumeji 1 Chome 4 first part is now available in english here ! \o/

It feels really strange to read those old chapters again and I changed some part of the dialogs during the (pseudo)translation.
The first part of Aoi's story can be considered as an introduction to the whole universe and though there are tons of defaults, i'd be happy if you read it.

Hi ! I arrived safely at Baltimore (in time to see Irene ? Strange luck) and everything look (more or less) fine. The thing I'm the most disappointed about is my unability to communicate in english. I knew that I have to make progress but I didn't think it'd be so hard to understand people when they speak or to be understand by them. T_T

Well... Main point of this post is not me complaining but pimping a Bro calendar and Gijinka calendar projects organised by ensuing : More infos here
I'll be participating in the Gijinka (="versions of non-human creatures and objects that are given human characteristics") one and it sure looks awesome. Sign-ups are still open so if you feel interested to join, don't hesitate to have a look.

I'm leaving tomorrow for United States and will be staying at Baltimore for 10 months. Not sure how my life will be there but I hope that everything will turn ok. I still have some things to do but at least, I've got all my papers.

I also finished my webcomic yesterday (I was in a hurry as I wanted to finish it before my departure) and now, you can read Ono's story entirely ! (but it's still only in french).
Thanks to all people who encouraged me during this time and thank you to those who read theses stories.



If you're interested, you can now follow Y1C4 news on tumblr and facebook or ask me questions on formspring.

Btw, shirenai gave me a wonderfull gift some times ago. She wrote me the first Yumeji 1 Chôme 4 fanfic : link. It's a lovely fic written in french, with Fûga and Aoi, taking place at the end of ch.23. Thank you again ! ♥

Just a little update to say that shirenai is one of the sweetest person ever. Why ? Cause she has just made the first fanmix for my original webcomic and I do feel really happy to see that someone cares enough about my little project and charas to make an FST. Thank you !

I guess the FST makes more sense if you know Aoi, Fûga and their story but even if you don't, she picked some good songs and it's pretty nice to listen.

Go there to download it

I finally managed to draw and color something ! \o/

Some months ago, I read Ao no exorcist by curiosity. Story looked like the typical shonen but the art was nice and some charas caught my interest. I wasn't very hooked to it until the Kyotô arc started (new chara introduction and plot not-Rin-exclusively-centered) The relationship between Rin and Yukio is becoming more and more interesting and I'm glad we get to know more about the Kyotô trio. Sadly, I still didn't see the anime. I watched the first ep but didn't find the time to see more (and I have to say it's not my priority as I already read the manga). Nevertheless, I wanted to draw something for this fandom so though I fail to draw these boys correctly, here are some fanarts :

( Rin, Yukio and Kyoto trio )

February 2nd 2009, I started my webcomic Yumeji 1 Chôme 4 and September 17th 2010, the main story has come to an end.

Aoi's story

Genre : Boy's love
Number of chapters : 23 (+ 2 annex)
Status : Complete



Pour les français : Si vous avez lu l'histoire, pensez le faire ou avez arrêté la lecture pour raison X ou Y, n'hésitez pas à me faire part de vos commentaires, remarques, critiques ou suggestions, que se soit ici ou sur le guestbook du site.

PS : Et si vous avez le temps de faire un peu de pub histoire d'aider le webcomic à se faire connaître, ça fait toujours plaisir aussi.

Hello, just a small update before I go back to write my essay to post my latest Giant Killing fanarts. I seriously love this show and I'm glad to see the Osaka match animated. Even if the manga looks really better than the anime (IMHO), Gunners are still great and seeing them animated is awesome. ♥

( I want to draw more pic with Kubotan )

Thank you for looking !

PS : Not a big news (?) but I recently got my driving license. It took me too much time and a lot of money but I finally got it.

re-PS : I got my Kazuaki's artbook copy today !!!! The book is seriously awesome. I'm in love with her art (and I want to draw even more now)
