After SSF07 (Sun) 24/06/24

Phew, I'm exhausted! lol
With that, the Atami/SSF07 trip is over!!

This is the usual type of diary entry I write in my notepad on the plane ride home for the Noumiso Guni-Guni Diary.
Bear with me for a little bit, okay?

SSF07. Just, let me go back to the manuscript period and talk about it. Is that okay? It's okay, right? Okay.

152 pages. Anyway, I wanted to make something thicker than ever before, something that pushed my limits. It wasn't about some creative theory limit, but rather, didn't you want to see the 'contents' (the book) packed so tightly it was barely fitting in the cassette tape case?!?! That's what I thought, so I did it. Not just packed, but *packed*.

As those who picked it up know, it's seriously, genuinely thick. It's thick and interesting.

Thick things are interesting, and because they're interesting, I just thought, 'I want to see that!' Hahaha.

Excluding 03, my previous ones were about 100 pages. Since it's roughly 1.5 times the page count, it's only natural. It's thick and heavy.

Maybe I can only say obvious things right now!! Right now!!

Anyway, it was hard to make, but I made what I wanted, and if you'd like, I'd love for everyone to pick it up and share the 'This is great!' feeling.

That's the sentiment.



I'll summarize the trip details in a travelogue later. I turned into a liquid in the Atami hot springs, turned into a gas eating sweets in Asakusa, turned into a sphere with craft beer named after Idolmaster songs, my existence was flipped inside out at SSF, became 'everything' at the after-party, and on the final day, I slept a lot at the inn and returned to being a human. I'll write about those events in detail. In detail.

Anyway, this was my fourth time participating in a doujin event, so I've gotten somewhat used to it, and as I said earlier, I participated with the stance of just doing what I want to do and seeing what I want to see, and I'm glad I was able to do that.

You really do get used to it. Doujin events.
I was still flustered, but I wasn't anxious at all. Though the anxiety about whether people would actually buy it was off the charts.

I didn't have any anxiety about the event itself. It was nothing but excitement.

Maybe it's because the last SSF was so intense. I did a four-panel manga book, a cassette tape-shaped flipbook, and a collaborative anthology. I can't believe I managed that. Me from six months ago.

Thank you. I think I'm growing lol

And so. The plane has arrived in Nagasaki.

Time to go home and play the 'company dog' skit... lol
