Do you like drawing or writing or other artsy crafty things and also like KyoNeo or collaborative projects well enough?
@kyaliarts is putting together a once in a lifetime D4DJ anthology (gosh) following the theme of, you guessed it, Kyoko Yamate x Neo.
Love, Friendship, Rivalry. If it's about them, it's on the table.
More info under the cut:
The current working deadline is 30 September 2026 at 11:59 PM ET
With the rise of doujin-friendly events in the US and elsewhere, this work is being formatted carefully with the intent to allow for physical prints. I already have confirmation that this will be distributed to doujin events in Mainland China.
In any copy of the physical print, no profits will be made.
If you do not consent to a physical print, you may still participate and opt-out of the physical edition. Just let me know when you submit your work. The anthology will be distributed first and foremost as a free digital zine.
Because of the potential for printing, however, certain specifications must be followed.
GUIDELINES
General:
This anthology is intended to be a collection of works featuring the pairing of Kyoko Yamate and Neo from D4DJ. This pairing can be depicted as romantic, platonic, or even leaning into them being rivals. As long as the focus is on their pairing, the nature of the pairing does not matter.
This is intended to be a work for general audiences. Sexual and suggestive content are not allowed. If you wouldn’t show it in a PG-13 movie, you can assume it's not allowed. If you have any questions about specific content, you can ask @kyaliarts/@number1andonly (same person so messaging is a matter of preference)
This extends to writing as well. Please keep profanity at a minimum and try to lean away from darker topics.
I want this to be a work that can be enjoyed by as many people as possible.
Gen AI is strictly forbidden. That should go without saying.
I don't imagine this will get too big, so if you feel compelled to submit multiple works, you may if you ask permission first so I can make sure it doesn't get super bloated.
Submissions may be sent via DM in a drive or other file sharing format. If you need to send it a different way, let me know.
Visual works (comics, illustrations, photography, etc):
Please submit in B5 size
Monochrome works should be at least 600 dpi. Color should be 350 dpi. Please format color works for CMYK printing
Please submit in psd preferred.
If the work uses text or speech bubbles, please keep these on a separate layer so they can be edited or removed in case of translation.
Comics/Doujin should read like a traditional manga (right to left) and will be formatted accordingly.
Comics/Doujin that consist of more than 2-3 pages (a continuous work, not like one-off 4koma gags) require a title page with the name of the work and the author's name.
No particular page limit for a single work, but please be reasonable. If you’re concerned then clear it with @kyaliarts or @number1andonly
Written works:
These can be submitted in pdf, doc, or docx format, or via services such as google docs.
Please keep to 5k words max.
I recommend not relying on fonts if possible as they may be lost in formatting.
Editing is available upon request.
You may provide art for a title page, but it must follow the visual guidelines. If the art is not done by yourself, I need explicit permission directly from the artist so I can credit them as a contributor.
One last thing (for now): Please do not publicly post your submission to twitter/pixiv/ao3/etc. for at least 1 month after the anthology is made public. WIPs and zoomed in/partially obscured versions/summaries/samples of the work are fine. When it is made public, you will be free to link the digital version as you please.
If there are doujin conventions near you and you would like to distribute this work without profit: Let me know. I will be preparing a file set for printing and will pass it along.
