We’ll Meet Again: The End of Mistakes of Youth: The Blog!!

You know that opening narration in Gundam? The one about how people are born into the world, live life, then die? Well, Mistakes of Youth was born into the world on November 7th, 2006, lived life for four years, and on today, January 1st, 2011, has now died. And...

Comic Update: Happy Xmas 2010

Original Post I liked the party last year, so I figure I’d do it again. It’s easy to do, and I like drawing people in formal wear. I don’t know who puts on this spectacular Christmas party–which is apparently too good to have Christmas decorations up, save for gigantic...

Let’s go downtown!

C’mon baby! Feel alright! Get down with Panty & Stocking!

It’s the weekend of New York Comic Con, and I’m at the bar with some friends after having my mind blown away by the Haruhi movie. Our conversation shifts between the topics of Japan, women, Pizzicato Five, and eventually–of course–towards anime. More specifically, we begin talking about the then...

Comic Update: Super Star

Original Post In retrospect, I probably should have drawn a subtle stain over all of the girls’ crotches, but alas, it is now too late. This comic was meant to come out a week after the last one, but some things happened, and I only managed to get around...
