mocha call (actually translated), 4 pages

The "I translated my own comic as if I had used shitty machine translation and had an agenda against BKDK" version. A shitpost voice-acted out version of this coming maybe later someday.

Still read right-to-left, although the first page is on the left. Sorry I didn't split it for you this time.

Moral of this comic: Fuck A I, pay your translators and your typesetters.

"Mocha Call" [pages 1-4]

OHAYOUGOZAIMASU everyone. Or maybe it's afternoon when you read this, in which I should KONNICHIWA you. Anyway, I've recently been doing a lot of thinking about manga and the state of art as a VIABLE BUSINESS STRATEGY in our current economy and the conclusion I've arrived at is... we all need to go back to our traditional weeb roots. One must not just draw manga traditionally, but do their best in capturing the NIPPON essence. Henceforth, not only have I drawn my latest manga in NIHONGO, I've made sure to draw it from right-to-left (a decision made to, again, match the art form I am building a career off of and not because that's how you read Japanese), I even took the liberty of translating it back into English whilst still maintaining the essence. Take note, aspiring translators. This is how you translate Japanese. None of that localization BS. Only pure, straight feelings for Japanese here. Shoutout to ruxan_kikilin for reminding me what truly matters in comics, especially comics from the land of the samurai. . . . . . . . . . .

(yes this is a bit i'll post the actual translation + my questionable JP for y'all to judge in private later HAPPY PRIDE MONTH TRANS RIGHTS FUCK I C E)

first shipment batch! & more sentimentality

I'm gonna break out of character for a second (for whatever 'character' I've been playing when I'm online, consciously or unconsciously.)

But these are all books. Packaged by one person.

I'm no demonic corporatic entity subsuming everything in sight for the sake of greedy, arbitrary oblivion. I'm just a person, really. I got a day job. I have a lot of insecurities. I have lived things I might not cry about anymore, but I carry like a knife or bullet trapped in an organ.

I write for a lot of reasons now, but when I'm sad, I know I write for me. For the kid I once was and as I grow more older and more bitter, I have to struggle to empathize with because the hurt never stops. And also because the hope does give back. The birds and their songs (really, give your local house finch and/or sparrow a listen) go on without you, not to spite you, but as testament that for all the awful in the world, life is still around for you to make meaning out of. A lot of people make "good" and "beautiful" out of it, including me. Potential like that--and I mean only that, and not the fake, dystopian "potential" sold by the technocrat robber barons of our contemporary times.

I mean, really, think about it. In a time when censorship is trying to once again trying to flood and recolor every corner of history for the oppressors; when trans people are the current scapegoat for everything and anything; when genocide actively perpetuated by the greater part of damn continent I live in and then ignored by the others; when the planet itself seems to moan and twist with heat; and covering all of this in an even more depressing wash, the contemporary snake oil that is AI--here I and many, many, many other small writers WHO DON'T USE AI AND NEVER WILL, have managed to put our books to you.

Like, I tabled at Manga Ichiba not too long ago and managed to get a lot of books to people.

It was a miracle.

In any case, thank you to those who supported my words and art--then and now. For a writer, I should have more words, but I'm opting for my stories you've taken a chance on to tell them for me.

Thank you for making me feel like I'm a real boy.

(And by any chance, you have words for my work--please, please, please feel free to leave comments on their respective digital listings on my Itch.Io's! Faeral Cat Meems here, Fei Diheiyi here. One day, I'll create something that will aggregate reviews outside of platforms but for now... this.)

Manga Ichiba 2026 Catalogue

I worked very hard on this catalogue so I don't really have much to say. My catalogue says it all.

TLDR; I will be bringing to The DoubleTree in San Jose where this is being held:

All chapters of Kacchan is a Fudanshi! With each purchase, you get a sticker. And if you buy the whole trilogy, you may opt to get a KiaF!Kacchan acrylic charm!

4 standalone comics/artbooks/compilations! We have NYT, now in print form; those BKDK + Hisaki comics with Behind the Scenes content; the last remaining copies of WSR; and a new one, ride shotgun! That's a very new one I've never made public on socials. It's toxic yuri TogaChako. In any case, unlike KiaF, these will never be printed again once they are sold out so if you want to collect, now's the time!

6 zines! 5 cute poetry zines I (and my pitiful but wonderful table assistant) will painstakingly handfold for you! The mystery zine is a surprise until Sunday as incentive for you to visit me! Just because I can!

Last but not least... an original project that I debuted in a raw but earnest state at LA Zinefest 2025, then finally tempered into a polished rock this year, complete with illustrations! This is a very belated (unplanned) installment to a series I've been writing and thinking about since I was a teenager in 2011 (and have not published yet, but trust that I will soon). You can learn more about it here. Unlike the other books, all purchases of this book will be donated to CHIRLA and WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund after the event is over.

Hope to see you there at the DoubleTree this weekend for North America's first doujinshi market! It's truly a historical moment so if you're gonna be at Fanime to begin with, you really should stop by, not just at my table, but to everyone's tables! I've gotten the chance to sneak a peek at what people are bringing and oh... I'm personally so, so, so excited, I'm actually typing proper sentences. Hah.

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY BITTERSWEET CANDYBOWL! this isn't truly the first time i drew lucy (mike, never lol. daisy and paulo though, i've done.) but this is definitely the first time i've shared fanart of them anywhere or talked about it publicly? but honestly, there is a reason why, before bkdk, i just enjoyed things in a silo. it's lonely but it is far more relaxing...

(below is a letter of sorts i wrote on bsky to taeshi. it's real sentimental shit. a bit of reminiscing about the older webcomic days. i'm just reposting it here for my archival purposes :p you don't have to read it)

so [taeshi]! i've been reading your comic for a very long time. not since the DA days, but definitely more than ten years... pretty sure bcb was the second webcomic i ever came across once i had access to a computer. its ever-changing "other comics we love" was absolutely what spiraled me into reading a ton of other webcomics. and like, i'd been doing comics on my own already, but literal kid me thought comics had to be book form because of manga. (i know, i'm such a damn weeb.) then i saw how your comic and others were hosting them online and that made me go ME TOO!! though i kinda missed that train because life and now it's a different landscape lol but SETTING THAT ASIDE the point i want to make is! of all the webcomics i followed, yours has been the one i've stuck with so far, to the point i take for granted how consistent and longstanding it is. and 'cause i myself am currently able to pursue comics shit more seriously than i did in the past 20+ years, i, like, super super super super super admire bcb's longevity and adaptability even more. it's one thing to draw for yourself forever, but to share it and its evolution online? it's so cool to me. it was hard back then. it's hard now, maybe harder in some other ways. (i mean, i myself actively dread posting my art publicly now...) like fr. so many of those other comics i followed alongside bcb, many of them are gone or stopped because comics hard. but bcb? 20 years? i just really wanted say thank you for giving us bcb for so long. 💖 (i hope all this isn't overwhelming asdf i'm genuinely having a "omg a comics senpai's comic is 20 years old holy shit" moment) (p.s. i still cherish this augustus x lucy argument i commissioned from you at AX so long ago hehe.) [picture of augustus and lucy arguing] i'm sure it doesn't come as a surprise but as a lowkey, dirty augustus & lucy shipper of sorts, can't tell you how happy i've been post-donde esta lucy 😆platonic augustus & lucy is Very Good.)

also bro drawing cat ppl hard

drawing ppl in general hard

drawing hard

why do i draw lulz

it was nice to draw something NOT kiaf for a hot second though...........
