When my serialization started, I got some goldfish for the studio. They’re a great help for the art. And they’re cute.

The convenience store food sides I eat every third day were out of stock again! I can’t survive.

My studio was so messy that my editor couldn’t take it anymore and cleaned up for me. I’m so sorry!

I drink about four liters of water per day, so my studio is full of empty bottles. Throw them out! Seriously.

While on a walk I saw some elementary school kids lying down in their yards while studying. I wanted to join them.

I hope ready-made food from convenience stores will continue to make me feel comfortable by assuring me that I’m consuming half a day’s worth of vegetables by eating it.

My editor asked me if I’m more relaxed when my studio is a mess. Not really…

I think up most of my storyboards while out on a walk. The more I struggle, the better for my health.

I repeatedly take a shower to reset myself when I’m working. But suddenly there was no more hot water.

With my shower running out of hot water, I started going to the public bath. It feels good to walk around at night.

I like to think up my storyboards while I take a walk, but it’s now so cold that I can’t leave the house. What am I supposed to do?!

I got some chu-toro tuna and slices of takuan pickles and made a simple torotaku. But it was better than the real thing.
