The manga I was drawing on note has been released as an e-book
Today, the 13th, my
e-book (comics) was released by KADOKAWA!
The doodle-like manga I was drawing here has,
after a 3-month serialization, been safely released today.
Seeing the name 'Maki Tane' on Amazon was so funny that I burst out laughing at first.
To everyone who supported me until the book release,
thank you so much!
Man, it was a long wait until today...!!
When the release was decided, the serialization was nearing its end, and I was starting to work on the e-book in earnest... my editor asked me,
“So, is the title 'Panic Tsurezure Journal' okay?” and...
“Panic Tsurezure Journal? What kind of weird name is that...”
I said, completely forgetting the name of this note I had chosen myself, and ended up dissing my past self.
“I Have Panic Disorder, So What?”
I managed to come up with that just in the nick of time, but
in the end, the subtitle was given to me by my editor.It was too hard!!
And then, the greatest tragedy occurred.
I even had the schedule.
I was more panicked than I've been all year.
Actually, the pre-order page had been up since the 10th, but I couldn't announce it at all!!
Ta-da!! (Sound effect)
I wrote that I was the most panicked I've been all year, but I think the one who was actually the most panicked was
KADOKAWA, watching me stay completely silent even though pre-orders had started.
Hehe!
My brain must function at the level of a chimpanzee.
I was acting relaxed and drawing about two manga for note as well, but I stopped all of that and rushed to draw the announcement manga instead.
Anyway, these past few days have been a frantic rush where I felt like I was losing consciousness! I'm so fed up with my own stupidity...
And somehow, I managed to finish drawing this announcement manga,
and I am writing this note.
The fact that someone like me was able to release this e-book
is truly nothing short of a miracle.
Even if it's not dramatic, like
a stray cat coming closer than usual, or
finding a piece of furniture you like, I hope you all have many
“wonderful moments” of your own.This e-book is filled with those kinds of feelings.
By the way, I have included a mini-column for each chapter and 5 stories exclusive to the e-book.
The rough contents are,
・A story about supplement hell
・A story about remote therapy
・A story about trashy entertainment
・A story about how difficult it is to socialize
・A story about how I started drawing manga
These are the 5 stories. They are all incredibly silly, so I can only recommend this to those who have money and time to spare, but I would appreciate your support.
Lastly,
To everyone who always supports me,
thank you so much!! Power!
From next time on, I will continue to draw silly manga here as usual, so please look forward to it!
Yeah!!
● P.S. ●
The left hand in the illustration above... in a manga from a while back, I drew it as
a 'Hawaiian peace sign',but to be precise, it's not a Hawaiian peace sign or anything like that; my husband, who was wearing a T-shirt of
Mr. Spock
(Star Trek)as a child,taught me that it is actually thepose of Mr. Spock.
Well then, that's all for now. Ciao!!
