Click for bigger. Not sure how I feel about this :S...

Original Post Well here it is, Mistakes of Youth’s 200th comic. In the end, it didn’t really turn out as nice I wanted it to. After looking at it for a while, and having it run by other people’s eyes, there’s a bunch of things I’m pretty unhappy with....

Comiket 78 was a few weeks ago, and sadly I was unable to attend like I did last year. As per usual, a number of trailers for upcoming anime were screened across monitors in every corner of the event’s industry hall, and as per usual some industrious individual taped...
