The big thing this month is the announcement of the Kio Shimoku artbook! Also, a drawing of Darkness from KonoSuba!
『木尾士目画集 明日また、部室で。』
いつか出せたらいいな、と夢見ていた画集の出版が公式発表になりました。３０周年という節目にありがたいことです。懐かしい絵もかき集めてできるだけ収録いたしますので、よろしくお願いします！https://t.co/RyEfcyskFZ— 木尾士目＠はしっこアンサンブル全8巻 (@kioshimoku1) June 10, 2024
こちらのサインには軽くキャラ絵を入れるつもりです。誰になるかは完全に私の気分によりますので、その点はご容赦くださいませ。

Kio is going to have an artbook! (I wonder if this is why he’s been posting high-quality images of his old art over the past year or so.) More details here.
He wondered when would be the right time to release the book, and reflects on the fact that it’s been 30 years since he started his manga career.
The pre-order art is actually high-quality reproductions of the original, so you can see all the little guide lines and other marks in the images.
The artbook will also include an interview with him.
しかしその一週間後にもひとつカラー仕事の締め切りがあり、さらに一週間後にモノクロの何やかんや締め切りがあり、そして詳細はまだ来てませんがカット仕事が数点入るだろうでありますよ。

まぁつまり、エ〇マンガを描くひまがなくて慟哭しているということです。

Kio has a color illustration job deadline coming up, so he’s been plugging away at it little by little. He thinks he can finish in time. That said, he has a lot of other work due the week after. It also means he can’t work on his ero manga.
Kio’s tortoise has been a hyper little hellion (as far as tortoises go).
あらまぁテリーと舞がスト６に？

Terry and Mai from Fatal Fury will be in Street Fighter 6. Kio is surprised at the news. One commenter says they’re looking forward to seeing Sue in SF in 15 years, to which Kio says maybe in 30.
It turns out this drawing from last month is for the cover to the artbook! It’s one of his characters from an older work (I think the Yonensei/Gonensei series?).
ぼっち・ざ・ろっく！劇場総集編、観てきました。音響がいいと演奏シーンのエモさがマシマシですね。

Kio went and saw the Bocchi the Rock! movie. He really liked the music and performance scenes.
Excited for the announcement of Delicious in Dungeon anime season 2.
『忘却バッテリー』原作全巻まとめ買いしたけど、アニメより進まないように我慢しながら読んでます。

アニメを初めて見る時は、原作を読んでない方が楽しめるのは確かなんだよなぁ……

Kio bought all of the original Oblivion Battery manga out, only to find out that it doesn’t progress as quickly as the anime. Now, he wishes he stuck with just the anime.
よし……昨日見れなかった『安彦良和 ✕ 小泉悠「近代日本とロシア・ソヴィエト」(ナビゲーター：飯田孝)』を見るか

There’s a Yasuhiko Yoshikazu and Koizumi Yuu exhibit titled “Modern Japan and Russia/Soviet.” Kio couldn’t go the previous day but has decided to check it out.
A drawing of Darkness from KonoSuba!
しかしまだ７巻？原作は本編だけで１７巻あるんだからまだまだ……次のエリス様巻もおもろいのではよ……！
— 木尾士目＠はしっこアンサンブル全8巻 (@kioshimoku1) June 17, 2024
Kio is shocked that the anime is only up to Volume 7 of the light novels, which currently have 17 volumes out.
DLC以前に、普通のアップデートのダウンロードすら終わりそうもないのでエ〇マンガの原稿でもするか……
— 木尾士目＠はしっこアンサンブル全8巻 (@kioshimoku1) June 20, 2024
While waiting for a Pre-DLC Elden Ring update to download, Kio works on his ero manga and gets a page done. He’s also wondering how the hell he’s listening to an audio book of Buddha’s Teachings while working on said 18+ comic,
まーエ〇マンガもカメの歩みなんですがね
いやカメ案外速いな
— 木尾士目＠はしっこアンサンブル全8巻 (@kioshimoku1) June 20, 2024
Working on the ero manga and also walking his tortoise. The reptile is unusually fast.
Knocking down his deadlines one by one.
DLCダウンロードも終わったので……やるか…………！
— 木尾士目＠はしっこアンサンブル全8巻 (@kioshimoku1) June 21, 2024
Elden Ring download done.
Otomo Katushiro is releasing an album called Akira Remix. The Otomo recent cel exhibition was playing music from it, and Kio remembers going to the exhibition and hearing the music the whole time.
