"There will be a special corner for Lavi's birthday in the D.Gray-man pop-up store. Isn't that great, Lavi ?

You'll be able to put some post-it or messages on a Lavi panel in order to express your love.

And, for the people who can not go, I am thinking about doing an online Lavi birthday corner on Instagram!

Here is the tag! It has been decided with my followers on stand.fm (her live stream app)

#ラビ生誕祭壁メッセージ (Lavi's birthday wall messages)

#壁から出てきたラビ誕2024 (Lavi has come out from the wall for his birthday, 2024)

Obviously, if you went to the pop-up store, you can also participate! You can even share pictures of the panel, and I am sure everyone will appreciate it.

And I'll also be checking the tag regularly!

Do not hesitate to take part!

Very random TMI about Allen's eyebrows

This morning, Hoshino Sensei did a small livre drawing session on pixiv sketch and she explained something interesting about Allen's eyebrows.

Since Allen's scar is like a deep wound, his eyebrow hairs didn't grow over his scar after it healed. So, when drawing Allen's eyebrows, she pays attention to not drawing hairs over the scar.

About using pictures from the newest chapter of DGM (Hoshino Katsura on Threads, 27/02)

Again, I'm not here to do morals. But, if you don't want to be blocked by Hoshino-sensei on Instagram, you know what to do...

Original post (From Threads)

"I always have mixed feelings when I see accounts from overseas posting pictures of the newest chapter.

I know they love DGM, but should I block them ..?

Maybe they are just trying to share the new chapter with as many people as possible, but I wish they could think about my feelings: I'm doing my very best each time, so of course, my feelings are discomposed..

I would like them to think that, each time they post an image from the new chapter, there is a loss (of money) for the mangaka.

I don't really feel good saying this, and actually, I don't want to say it, but I can't help it. I'm so happy they enjoy my work ..that's why it's hard for me.

Mangakas have to live. If they read it for free, it means I get no salary, and i can't keep writing. I just want to be paid for my work."

To be honest, I also have mixed feelings about it. Posting pictures or excerpts of a manga is illegal and it is indeed a loss of money for a mangaka, but from overseas, people do not really buy the magazine anyway (actually, you CAN, and please do it to support the mangaka!) so, I don't know if it has a real impact on the sales of the magazine because the sales of the magazine are mostly in Japan...

D.Gray-man playing cards merch♠️♣️♥️♦️

As it has been announced in the SQ.Jump released today in Japan, there will be a lottery to win a new D.Gray-man playing cards game!

There are special illustrations for the Joker (the Earl) the King (Allen) and apparently, the queen and the jack as well.

https://zebrack-comic.shueisha.co.jp/web_page/71at5n9u4pqy/?os=browser&s=09

There will be only 50 winners..I really hope they will sell it as normal merch after the lottery 🥹

Hoshino sensei on Threads (04/03)

threads.net/@katsura_5600/…

"Announcement!

As a present, a DGM playing cards set has been made. If it's DGM, it has to be in black and white, right? I think it turned out to be a calm monochrome set which can be used even by adults! However, I made the Joker card red, ahaha.

I was asked by my editor: "Is there any merch you want to create? Maybe we'll make it." So, I asked for a trump cards set and a calendar, but they actually made the trump cards set!

I do not often get asked what merch I want to make so I really pushed it ahaha."

About using DGM illustrations from Hoshino Katsura as profile picture/header

During her stream on February, 19th , Hoshino sensei spoke a bit about how she felt when people used her illustrations as profile pictures (last 10 minutes of stream). Here is a small sum-up.

Disclaimer: I'm not here to do some moral lessons or legislative talks, really. I am just translating what she said, feel free to read and please do not get mad at me, I'm just the one writing this in English

"I really want to thank people who still use the official profile pictures provided by the DGM Exhibition account. However, I still see some fans who use the illustrations I posted on Instagram as their profiles pictures, for instance people from overseas...

I have mixed feelings when I see it. Of course, I am not mad or anything like this! But, this is a clear violation of copyrights. I know I don't put the mention "please do not use my art" under my posts, but I didn't say you could use it either.

Why I'm not writing it, you ask? Because I don't have the courage. I can't feel like saying it out loud. I would prefer a world where everyone could notice it's wrong. I think the word "manner" is a bit strong here, but when I post my illustrations, I really hope the world can become a better place where people can respect that.

(she answered some comments)

I know that outside of Japan, they do not have the same consideration about copyrights. Yes, I noticed it is often foreign fans who use my illustrations as their profiles pictures. I'm sure they have no bad intentions, they just liked the drawing so that why they used it. It's for this reason I don't warn them. Maybe I should..but you know, if I had to tell it, it would never end, that's why I don't say anything. You might think "Do it! Tell them" but honestly, I feel it would never end and I would make them feel bad.

That's why I prefer to act strong and pretend I don't really care, but actually I do. (She answers some comments)

Yes, anyway, it's a really difficult problem. "I did it because I liked the illustration, not cool to warn me like that", that's how they would feel if I told them right? I don't want people to get mad at me.

Besides, I know they respect my work, they just do it because they don't know the law...yeah, it's really difficult. That's why it's better when the official account gives free headers and profile pictures. It's the best for me. When I post illustrations, I just want you to be happy, not to use it as a profile pictures.

(A comment said "Maybe if you tell them to stop, they will") hmmm....I should, but I don't know how to tell it and when to tell it. (...)

Anyway, it's a very difficult problem.
