I wanted to wait until I had enough of this to show off
I am making somethin like a Hikaru no Go fanzine, mostly for myself but I wanna share my progress so far too

Its a very sad zine, because I am using it to process my own unresolved personal grief by projecting it all onto Hikaru lol and it'll most likely evolve into talking about depression and mmmm bad self ending thoughts. I will put tw if necessary

All pages are individual comics, with no particular order, inspired by quotes whose sources I will link there. I am building up to a narrative, but it can all be read in any order

I gotta go hide in a hole forever after sharing this

You're welcome 🤗
I love Hikaru so much
*Keeps giving him crippling depression in my work*
I really do ❤️

This was stunning! And so real and both tender and visceral and I want to crawl around in it and ache, and cry and be in love.

Thank you for sharing. ❤️❤️

Imma be honest with you, it took me like... a month to finally decide to post it hehe
But um, I think sharing these feelings will do me good, I have had them bottled up for a long time, and I wanna be able to look back and feel nostalgic instead of sad

Wow! This is so bittersweet (heavy on the bitter!). I especially love the lines “Maybe you weren’t a terrible person. Maybe you were just fifteen.”

The way you used drifty smoke as a connective device is super cool. Reminds me of Xxxholic if you know that one :)

I really like this. Love the mood of it.
