Scenes from chapter 17 of Phishing Line! Illumi and Kalluto leave for the Black Whale's expedition to the Dark Continent. The entire family is present for their departure, except for Killua and Alluka, something that Milluki finds utterly distasteful. With the air thick with familial tension, Milluki tries to get used to his new work schedule, but he just can't seem to focus properly whenever his eyes catch sight of a certain zip file on his computer.

Scenes from chapter 11 of Phishing Line! Milluki awakes to news that the Zoldyck private servers have been hacked! His brother's computer files have mysteriously gone missing. Panicked, he scrambles to find out the root cause of the incident. Meanwhile, Hisoka continues to brush a little too closely to Kikyou, which ignites the wrath of Silva. Illumi has had just about all he can take in terms of family drama when he gets a call from his client. It would seem the recent hacks have affected him too!

Scenes from chapter 13 of Phishing Line!
After going through all the effort of finding each and every "bad" person in the Hunter's Association, Bigbee is forced to undo all of their hard work while Milluki leaves to spend time with Kika. Jealous, the creature decides to secretly watch them on their date to find out why Milluki prefers Kika, though, what they discover might be more hurtful than helpful!

Scenes from chapter 15 of Phishing Line!! If Illumi thought his stress levels were manageable before, he's got another test of endurance when he finds his brother, Milluki, in a catatonic state within his own Hatsu! Thinking quickly, he calls the one person he knows that can actually help!
Meanwhile, Kika is having issues of her own when her contract with Starlight Productions gets renegotiated in the production company's favor! Unable to afford a lawyer, the Supernova girls are stuck between a rock and a hard place - perform for peanuts, or quit the business! If only she knew someone who could afford a lawyer!
These last chapters are some of my favorites! We're really getting into the meat and action of the story! I really hope readers feel hyped after this chapter! The next one is going to be a battle royal!

Scenes from chapter 16 of Phishing Line!
Hearing that Milluki is trapped inside the internet, Kika jumps in blindly to save him, unaware of the danger that awaits her on the other side of the screen.
I know I've been saying that each of these later chapters are my favorite, but I have legit been SO excited to post this one! The layouts were also an absolute blast to design! Honestly, I feel like my layout skills have leveled up since I started this project lol!

Scenes from chapter 18 of Phishing Line!
After much debate, Milluki decides to unzip the Ai entity that is Bigbee, and have a heart to heart with them. Perhaps, with some patience, the two of them can find a way to form a symbiotic relationship.

This is a VERY emotional post for me, as it's the finale chapter of the story! I am honored to all who have come with me on this wild ride, and to all of you who may read this in the future!
This particular story has been in the works since December of 2022, when I was first inspired to write a third installment to my 'Brother's Advice' series after watching Ghost in the Shell for probably the 200th time! The plot to Phishing Line went through SO many edits and rewrites, but I'm honestly quite pleased with how it turned out! I hope you are too!
I feel like I have grown and learned a lot as a writer and story teller with this project. Not only has it been a tremendous personal achievement (as it's the longest thing I've ever written) but it's also been such a delight to work on! I actually LOVE drawing again! (I work as a storyboard artist, so for a long while, the act of drawing just felt like work to me. Not a good headspace to be in if you ask me!) But this project flipped a switch in my mind! I've been so much happier overall! So much so that I am currently working on a forth story for the 'Brother's Advice' series!
As of now, I'm still working out the plot as an outline, but I'm hoping I can start posting chapters sometime this summer, though I can't promise anything too concrete! I've found I work best when I have most of the story already written before I start posting - it's the best way to keep myself on a consistent schedule.
Bigbee will be getting some very fancy upgrades in the coming months, so you can see some sneak peaks of what's to come over there!
Now, with all that being said, have a fantastic weekend! And I hope to see you for the next story "Hook, Line & Sinker."
Scenes from Chapter 7 of Phishing Line. Photos of Kika and Milluki are circulating online thanks to the Paparazzi that tailed them to the love hotel the other night. Not only have the photos gotten Milluki in trouble with his own family, they have also put Kika in violation of her idol contract! Will Milluki be able to delete them in time so she can keep her job?
This chapter is one of my personal favorites lol I hope everyone who reads it gets a good kick out of all the family chaos!
