Hiyii!?
After the quake, the pictures flowing past on the TV continuously tormented me with a swirl of meaningless terror and guilt.
I came to feel as if it was entirely my responsibility that the world I drew was rapidly becoming reality.
In that instant, I became terrified to show this work to others, and unwilling to put it up for sale or participate in the convention.
Even now, as I am resolving to announce this, I'm not sure what to do.
As an artist, I don't think I've ever been this scared to announce a work.

Poor Gensoukoumuten... Suddenly his last doujinshi verged into "Too soon" territory. :(

Still, being a (questionable) story writer myself, I'm sure I would be traumatized as well if I was him, or even worse.

11 months agoOr maybe our souls listen to the world, and some people can somehow interpret such messages, even if they are unaware of it, in the form of ideas and inspiration.

7 months agoiirc an episode of the tv show "Fact or Fiction" recounted the story of a news reporter who out of boredom wrote a fictional piece of a Volcano exploding and killing many of the island's natives. This piece however was accidentally printed on the front page of the newspaper. This would have resulted in a recall of all the newspapers that were printed that day if not for the actual event transpiring...
