the liner notes
well… it might be better to read the doujinshi and then come back to these liner notes lol.
this should have been done relatively fast, but October ended up being quite a month for me. i stopped studying (my one solid daily habit for the past 1.5 years), started sleeping at least 12 hours a day and started feeling very… empty. then i sensed the reason: my grandfather, whose health had been steadily declining over the months, was about to leave me… so working on a story involving death was… awkward to say the least, and took much longer than i anticipated. after i posted the teaser on twitter i thought, the next full moon is 11/8, should i just wait until then to upload?
a few hours later, i got news of his passing. so… naturally i wanted time and space, so that became the plan anyway.
i love michi’s style, i love iwashu, if you love this too, i’ll be glad. but i’ll probably have some weird feelings about this particular doujin for the foreseeable future. lol
as for the promo, i knew i wanted a photo of a moonlit road, but once i started working on it i felt somewhat blanked out (can you blame me?) i got the ink ring idea from the book cover, but just as i was about to delete it for looking out-of-place, i decided to tweak the transparency and position so it aligns iwai’s and ren’s pupils.
when i submitted PJ Soushuuhen to MRM, i made an 1100px version since having to resize and compress 160 pages seemed like a pain in the ass. MRM resized it to 1000. this time i sent an 1100px version again and they resized it to 950px. i know MRM is the popular choice for the BL fans, but if you want a better res, go literally anywhere else. is this policy or am i being dunked on? (ー△ー;)
once they’re dead, they’re just gonna rot… only thing left is the feelings of the living… indeed.
