Important Notice Starting May

Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

As I’ve already mentioned on X and in the comments of this month’s manga post, I’ll be taking a break from posting manga in May.

Looking ahead, from June onward, I expect manga production to be either paused or significantly reduced.

The reason is a personal one—I'll be turning 39 this year, and over the past few years, I’ve gradually started to feel less confident in my health compared to before.

(I still feel like I’m in my early 30s, though!)

I often hear people say things like, “Once you hit 40, something always hurts,” and I think most of us experience relying on hospitals or medicine and learning to live with some physical discomfort to varying degrees.

Even so, I’ve started to realize that the “as long as I take enough time, I can make it work” approach to creating may be reaching its limit for me.

With that in mind, I’ve been thinking deeply about what I truly want to create now—what I really want to focus on. And right now, I find myself most interested in making games and videos.

But at my current pace, I honestly don’t think I’ll ever be able to finish them, no matter how many years go by.

So, for the next few months, I’ve decided to shift gears and prioritize game development to see how far I can take it.

That said, I’m sure there will be times when I feel like drawing manga again.

Also, materials I create during game or CG production might end up being useful in manga too.

For example, I’d like to try new methods—like using images captured in Unreal Engine or VRoid directly in comic panels.

I still plan to share creative boxing-related progress and content on the support site in some form.

However, during preparation periods—like when building assets—I may not be able to deliver high-quality posts as consistently as before.

To everyone supporting me: there may be times ahead when I’m unable to give back as much as I’d like.

If you ever feel that your support isn’t being properly rewarded, I completely understand if you decide to pause or cancel it.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but I’ve chosen to take this opportunity to rethink how I approach my creative work.

Thank you!
