HEY THERE it's time to officially announce that i've been working on something! a yakuza fancomic!!

you may have already seen the art i did to flesh this concept out, or you may have seen the post that inspired me in the first place, courtesy of @majimemegoro. long story short, this is a prequel fancomic taking place in 1976 with kashiwagi osamu as the main character.

the first chapter is up as of right now. you can find more information on THIS BLOG, which is also where the comic is hosted. check it out if it's something ur into! ok thanks love u all

you ARREST akiyama? you ARREST HIM like THE CRIMINAL?!?!

I never submit things but omg I just ran up on your blog and I’m in love with your work!! Your art style - especially with how you draw faces - reminds me of the hand drawn Dreamworks animated films and seeing these characters that mean so much to me in a look and feel deeply rooted to my identity touched me real good🥺

HEY WHAT! that is such a gigantic compliment.... i grew up watching a lot of dreamworks and i still love the old art style sooo much, so this is really cool to hear. thanks for stoppin by!
