I created Ribbon Breaker because it was a story I needed to tell for myself. I believe that's where every meaningful piece of art begins—not by trying to please everyone, but by creating something honest for yourself first.

🚨 Only 7 days left! If you haven't backed the campaign yet, now's the perfect time to take a look. For fans living outside Japan, this is one of the best opportunities to get a copy of my work, along with exclusive Kickstarter rewards that won't be available after the campaign ends.

Hi, project has begun on my indie manga, Ribbon Breaker: No One Holds My Reins But Me Project page is here↓ kck.st/3TuuJcQ This story follows a young girl as she breaks free from her parents' control and reclaims her true self. Help me bring her story into the world.

Btw, if you happen to visit Japan this summer, I highly recommend checking out the Chiikawa movie. It explores surprisingly deep themes such as revenge, the burdens people carry, and how justice can look different depending on your perspective.

If this English manga project is a success, I'll be able to continue Alex's story. Have you ever wondered what becomes of Alex, Dahlia, Keita, and Vikram after they grow up? Their journey doesn't end here—there's so much more I want to share. Your support isn't just helping publish this manga.

More than anything, I want to unlock the final stretch goal. If we reach it, I'll be able to produce a fully voiced drama for Ribbon Breaker. Ever since I created Alex, I've imagined them being voiced by a female voice actor with an androgynous voice who can convincingly play both boys and girls.

The campaign has entered its final 10 days! We're about ¥400,000 away from unlocking our first stretch goal! Once we reach it, everyone will get access to the making-of video for the cover illustration. If each of you who sees this chips in, even just a little, we can absolutely make it happen.

The limited-quantity ¥9,000 reward includes the following items: Physical Book (JP), Physical Book (EN), eBook (JP), eBook (EN), and the Special Edition Artbook (AUTO). When I set up this reward, I accidentally forgot to include Physical Book (JP) in the reward description,

One of the reward tiers I highly recommend is the "Bilingual Set + Special Edition Artbook." The art book included in this reward is a special hardcover edition produced in a very limited quantity, making it one of the rarest items I've ever created.

I have several OCs, but one thing they all have in common is that none of them are native English speakers. The reason is simple: since I'm not a native English speaker myself, I felt it would be difficult for me to create a convincing native English-speaking character.

What's next after the current English manga project is complete? After three years, I'll finally begin working on my second art book (working title), KARAT 2: King of Flowers.

We've reached 130 backers—thank you so much for believing in this project! But the journey isn't over yet. If we reach the final stretch goal, we'll be able to create a fully voiced drama based on Ribbon Breaker.

Let me be honest about how I approach social media X is still my main platform, and there's a reason for that. As a professional illustrator working with companies, I need to promote my work where it can reach the largest audience—including both clients and fans. Right now, that platform is still X

I've signed up for BlueSky! I engage in creative endeavors to promote mutual understanding, as well as sharing joy and beauty with fans and fellow artists worldwide.

There are currently three ways to get Ribbon Breaker and my previous art book: ① Back this Kickstarter campaign This is the easiest and most rewarding way to get them. You'll receive your rewards directly through the campaign, and many Kickstarter-exclusive bonuses are only available here.

If you'd prefer to avoid shipping costs, the digital reward is a great option! You can get the English eBook for just ¥1,000, and if you'd like, you can also add the Japanese eBook as an add-on for another ¥1,000

I want to reach the final stretch goal and bring Alex's voice to life through voice drama. If we reach the final stretch goal, you'll be among the very first people to experience Alex's voice as they come to life in a brand-new way.
