when u spend all ur time making fun of yaoi hands and realize that you can’t draw hands any better:
Ishida Sui’s tweets
Please take translations with a grain of salt.
The last chapter has been published on Young Jump which is now for sale.
I would like to thank the readers, Young Jump’s editorial department, people from the printing offices, people who were involved in this work, and all the staff from the bottom of my heart.
Including the preparatory period, I have been drawing from June 2011 up to June 2018, for 7 years, with barely any breaks.
Despite it being such a crude work made by an unskilled hand, I’m quite proud of myself for being able to draw until the very end.
For the past six months, I’ve been drawing while mentally preparing myself that it was going to end.
However, once the end was right around the corner, I was suddenly overcome with the feeling of being omitted/removed/collapsing.
Until the very end, I’ve placed such a huge burden on the editorial department, as well as the printing office. But I’m very thankful for the fact that they have accepted my absurd requests/absurdity.
Being able to accomplish many challenges, this has been my sustenance.
I am deeply grateful to my editor.
He worked like… a cushion…? between me and the outside.
It’s his fault that I’ve become like this, but it’s also thanks to him that I’ve become like this.
I believe that the person responsible for creating Ishida Sui is my editor.
10 years? 11 years? Thank you for all this time. And I’m sorry for a lot of things.
I’ve received a lot of encouragement from other authors who are serialized in the same magazine. Thank you very much.
Especially Hara-sensei, a master who created Kingdom, who was such a big existence to me.
I will be going ahead. Everyone who’s being serialized, I’ll be cheering for all of you.
I’m also grateful to the staff who worked along with my crazy schedule as well as hung out with me during fun times. Everyone’s so nice so I want all of you to live long.
I’ve caused problems for all of you but I’ll give you money, so please forgive me.
Still calculating for the final month’s pay so please wait for a while.
Also, please bring your receipts.
It also makes me glad to hear thoughts from the readers.
I’ve happily read all the letters I’ve received.
Characters’ birthdays… even on days where nothing’s happening, a mountain of gifts were received which made it fun all-year round.
It’s highly appreciated even you just stood and read*.
To me, it counts as support. I’m very, very thankful.
*stand and read = go to the bookstore/convenience store just to read without buying
When I absentmindedly did some drawing while I was bored yesterday, I ended up filling up 31 pages of a B4 Croquis sketchbook in one day.
(Even though I still had a few stuff to do…)
How do mangakas spend their time after their work ends…?
For now, I’ll spend time relaxing by drawing.
Once again, I’m deeply grateful to everyone who have been involved.
Thank you, thank you very much. Let’s meet again somewhere.
Thanks*. Have a nice day.
* can also mean bye
Just remember. There is no such thing as a fake geek girl.
There are only fake geek boys.
Science fiction was invented by a woman.
Specifically a teenage girl. You know, someone who would be a part of the demographic that some of these boys are violently rejecting.
Isaac Asimov.
yo mary shelley wrote frankenstein in 1818 and isaac asimov was born in 1920 so you kinda get my point
If you want to push it back even further Margaret Cavendish, the duchess of Newcastle (1623-1673) wrote The Blazing World in 1666, about a young woman who discovers a Utopian world that can only be accessed via the North Pole - oft credited as one of the first scifi novels
Women have always been at the forefront of literature, the first novel (what we would consider a novel in modern terms) was written by a woman (Lady Muraskai’s the Tale of Genji in the early 1000s) take your snide “Isaac Asimov” reblogs and stick it
even in terms of male scifi authors, asimov was predated by Jules Verne, HG Wells, George Orwell, you could have even cited Poe or Jonathan Swift has a case but Asimov?
PbbBFFTTBBBTBTTBBTBTTT so desperate to discredit the idea of Mary Shelly as the mother of modern science fiction you didn’t even do a frickin google search For Shame
And if you want to go back even further, the first named, identified author in history was Enheduanna of Akkad, a Sumerian high priestess.
Kinda funny, considering this Isaac Asimov quote on the subject:
Mary Shelley was the first to make use of a new finding of science which she advanced further to a logical extreme, and it is that which makes Frankenstein the first true science fiction story.
Even Isaac Asimov ain’t having none of your shit, not even posthumously.
You know what else was invented by women? Masked vigilantes, the precursor to the modern superhero. Baroness Emma Orczy wrote The Scarlet Pimpernel in 1905. The character would later inspire better known masked vigilantes such as Zorro and Batman.
Stick that in your international pipe and smoke it
I have literally been telling people this for over a year.
the first extended prose piece - ie a novel, was not, as many male scholars will shout, Don Quixote (1605) but The Tale of Genji (1008) written by a woman
The first autobiography ever written in English is also attributed to a woman, The Book of Margery Kempe (1430s).
The day may come when I find this post and do not reblog it, but it is not this day.
when you tryna chill but your siblings love annoyin you
They’re just so
