Thank you all for waiting! Except for the three people whose addresses were incomplete, all rewards have been shipped. I hope they arrive safely and without any issues!

I couldn’t ship everything in November because the last days fell on a weekend 💦
But all labels are on, so now it’s just drop-off or pickup!
It’s a big batch, but everything should go out in the next couple of days.
Thanks for your patience! 📦✨

While eagerly waiting for the printed books to arrive, I’m creating something special for all my supporters — a mini “Thank You Scroll,” or as I call it, the “Thanks Roll,” filled with gratitude.

The 25 Bakezōri reward figures are finally complete! The acrylic keychains have also arrived — now I’m just waiting for the books and postcards to come back from the printer. Starting next week, I’ll begin packing preparations like wrapping and addressing. Just a little more to go — I’ll do my best!

Recently my Bluesky messages stopped working. I can still make posts and comments, but I can’t open messages—it asks for age verification, and even after resetting, it doesn’t work. Now it’s even asking me to take a face recognition photo. Is this some kind of spam? It’s scary 😱

Hello! My yokai book is almost finalized and I remade the Nuppeppō for book. I tried using a new squishy material for texture, but it didn’t work well with an armature. The flocking powder made it look messy, but luckily I managed to take good photos before coating, so those will go in the book.
