​​Not very many tweets this month, but starting off with some fun insight into how Spotted Flower has changed.

「登場人物が多い」「初めて描く場所」「写真加工使えない背景が多い」「そもそもページ数が多い」
時間がかかる諸条件をすべて備えた原稿がスポフラで来るとは思わんよね

腰が痛い

Kio laments that Spotted Flower (a series that was once supposed to be simple and easy to draw) now has a huge cast, places he’s never drawn before, things that require photo references, and an increased page count.

元々スゲー面白いと思ってたけど俺が好きだった理由はこれだったのかもしれない……

It’s been 10 years since Kio last watched The Piano, a movie that apparently shook him with the level of NTR it features. In hindsight, he realizes this might be why he likes the movie so much.

がっしりと心掴まれました……!

Kio believes that the manga artist Kusada has made some kind of breakthrough in portraying the cuteness of their character Kurono.

ありがとうございます!いましばらく……いましばらく……

A drawing from the 18+ work Kio is currently making, showing the mom from the first doujinshi he did.

Mysterious drawing.

Kio drew a special piece for the current anime Train to the End of the World.

Turtle door!
