Important announcement 大事なお知らせ
🕑 Added 2025-03-30 08:38:47 +0000 UTCTo my supporters who are looking forward to my illustrations and manga.
This report is to inform those who are paying 70cent for my cartoons and illustrations with little or no return that they may no longer need to support me.
I may possibly never draw manga or illustrations again.
If I finish the manga and illustrations for which I am currently being paid and concentrate only on videos, my sales will probably not increase steadily in the future.
Recently the English versions of most of my works were reprinted without permission.
The comment section gave the URL to my fanbox, and the number of supporters who have paid 0.7USD for me this month is 70.
More than 90% of them are people who have been supporting me for much longer.
I know that my lack of drawing skills is the root cause.
I am not trying to say that I need more support.
I am just telling you the reality that people with insufficient skills could not continue to draw illustrations and manga for a living.
I plan to make videos at least for a living, unless I can find another job.
So this is just illustrations and manga.
If any of these 70 people are not interested in my videos and are looking forward to my illustrations and cartoons, please stop supporting me.
私のイラストや漫画を楽しみに待っている支援者の皆様へ。
この報告は、私の漫画やイラストのためにほとんど見返りのない100円を支払っている人達に、もう私の支援をする必要がないかもしれないことを伝えるためのものです。
私はもうイラストや漫画を描くことは無いかもしれません。
すでに支払いを受け取っているマンガやイラストを描き終えて、動画だけに専念しても、おそらくこの先、売り上げが上昇することはないと思います。
何故そう思ったかというと、最近私のほとんどの作品の英語版が無断転載された報告を頂きました。
そのコメント欄には私のFANBOXのURLが示されていましたが、今月私のために100円を支払ってくれた支援者の人数は70人でした。9割以上は元々継続的に支援してくれていた人達です。
私の画力不足が根本的な原因であることは分かっています。
もっと支援してくれと言いたいのではありません。
スキルの足りない人間がイラストやマンガを描き続けるだけでは生活出来ないという現実をお伝えしているだけです。
少なくとも生活のために、他の仕事が見つからない限り動画は作るつもりです。
ですのでこれはイラストと漫画の話です。
この70名の中に、私の動画に興味が無く、私のイラストと漫画を楽しみにしている人がいたら、支援を停止してください。

Thank you :) I'll just take your feelings for now.

I was a little hopeful that might be the case. I consider this case to be proof that this is not the case. It has been more than a month since it was reprinted without permission. It means they saw my work for free but decided I was not worth the $0.7 to support. I can't get many fans like you who will continue to support me for a long time. I understand that there are people who want me to continue making works because they can support me a little more. Honestly, if it had been 300 people instead of 70, I could have raised the price a bit to accommodate them. Adverse conditions against me have been piling up lately. This is the case with the rise of AI illustrations, credit card company payment restrictions, and censorship issues in my country. However, I keep trying to figure out what to do.

Yeah I would happily pay more to help support you if you created a new tier that requires we pay to view your works.

If this is about income why don't you charge more? There will always be piracy, it's unavoidable. People that love your work will still support you even if they can view the stolen content for free somewhere else.
