New chapter of Spotted Flower came out at the end of last month, which is now followed by a new volume of Spotted Flower too!
New chapter of Spotted Flower!
Kio’s tortoise will just walk around his room and randomly poop and pee, so Kio got it a diaper made for cats.
Kio retweeted a t-shirt of the Fantasista mascot Sistan, which has art by Koume Keito (who worked on the Kujibiki Unbalance manga. Sistan thanks Kio, who responds that this makes him happy.
Kio attended an event of “like-minded people,” and went to the afterparty despite initially being hesitant. Turns out he enjoyed it.
The tortoise keeps waking up one hour earlier, messing up Kio’s sleep. He can hear it walking around and breathing.
Kio wishes manga artist Kusada a happy birthday.
The electricity and water were out in Kio’s apartment, so he went to a super sentou (large bathhouse) and had a good time. Kusada and him talk about how losing power and plumbing should be a bad thing, but the bathhouse makes for a great way to relax.
Kio contributed art to a special Rakuen: Le Paradis 15th anniversary exhibition (and you can buy a replica if you’re in Japan!). He also realizes that he’s been a manga artist for 30 years, and half of that was with Rakuen doing Spotted Flower.
30 pages inked (out of 134) for the sequel to Kio’s 18+ doujinshi.
Kio rewatched the live-action version of his doujinshi, appreciating how the second half is original material that deviates from his version.
Spotted Flower Volume 7 on sale 7/31 (That’s today!). Kio recommends reading it together with Volume 6.
Kio agonized a lot over what to do for the jacket and the underjacket cover of his artbook.
After retweeting the announcement of the upcoming Ranma ½ remake, Kio thinks the series might be a major influence on why he’s into trans characters.
Kio concurs with Kusada about how great it is to draw the part of the pelvis that sticks out.
Kio thought he managed to get a manuscript done, but it was only one page’s worth of progress.
Kio is reviewing the interview included in his artbook.
Kio is saddened at the death of Ohara Noriko, the original voice of Nobita in Doraemon and Conan in Future Boy Conan.
Kio mentions something vague about remembering something huge and is worried about making it in time, but manages to do so.
The layout and comments, plus the interview page, are all set for the artbook.

あぁ~~~ジェスチャーか……アイテムでも衣装でもストーリー進行でもないみたいで詰まってた箇所抜けれた……!

Kio managed to get past a part in (I assume) Elden Ring that didn’t have anything to do with gestures or outfits or story stuff.
