Akane-banashi really is just That Good lol, it was special from the start but Moue Takamasa and Yuki Suenaga have been pushing it to another level ever since the timeskip hit
A double page spread from chapter 177 of Akane-banashi made up of two panels. The first shows Akane holding the venue she’s performing at in her hands as she looks down upon it with a calm smile. There’s text saying “An environment of peace and tranquility!!” The second panel is a closeup of the first, focused on one of Akane’s eyes

every week I’m left wondering how Akane-banashi can be as good as it is lol, what a chapter this week
A page from Akane-banashi chapter 176 consisting of two panels. The first panel is a closeup of an audience member’s face watching a Rakugo performance, the glasses he’s wearing are partially obscuring his eyes while reflecting the image of the performance as if the story itself is happening right in front of him. The second panel is a zoomed out shot showing more of the audience entranced like the member in the first panel, all of them laughing while clearly drawn into the story.

a buncha 😛

the #KnightsOfGuinevere pilot was so sick, very much looking forward to hopefully seeing these three continue struggle for better things Together #KoG
A doodle of Andi, Frankie, and Gwen from Knights of Guinevere all standing together. Andi has a more standoff-ish pose, leaning a bit away and flipping off the camera. Frankie is leaning forward, pressing a pointer finger against her cheek while winking. Gwen is in a much more casual stance, smiling while attempting to give a peace sign with their left hand which is currently missing its middle finger. All three of them are sticking their tongues out as well.

I am going to be So loud and So annoying about this anime, definitely my favorite manga in Shonen Jump with only a few other manga getting close

it’s just an all around love letter to art and storytelling, and the teaser has me real excited to see various moments get adapted
A double page spread from Akane-banashi, showing multiple characters dancing around and playing music in a room. There is text on the page saying “…That’s what makes it such a wonderful world.” A panel from Akane-banashi showing the main character, Akane, in the middle of a Rakugo performance. There is text on the page saying “Rakugo is so much fun!!”

been slowly trying to figure out how to draw some deltarune characters, it's a struggle but they're fun to draw so! #deltarune
A doodle of Susie and Noelle Holiday from Deltarune sitting next to each other. They're both visibly nervous but happy as Susie listens to Noelle talking about... something! Maybe it's about a horror ARG Noelle went through online once lol A doodle of Kris Dreemur and Susie from Deltarune. Susie has one hand in one of her coat pockets while her other arm is lifted up by Kris who is peeking out from behind her while they give a peace sign. Susie's chuckling at the sight while Kris maintains a relatively blank expression with one of their red eyes showing. A doodle of Susie, Ralsei, and Noelle Holiday from Deltarune. Susie is standing with the other two at her sides as they look at the healing magic she's somewhat bashfully showing off. Noelle's focus is on the magic itself while Ralsei is looking at Susie with a somewhat proud expression, and Susie is avoiding eye contact with either of them. A doodle of Kris Dreemur and Noelle Holiday from Deltarune. Noelle is sitting on a stool turned away from a computer while flashing a smile and making a peace sign. Kris is right behind her throwing up horns with a slight smile on their face. Playing on the computer is the flash game Interactive Buddy, just felt like the kind of flash game they'd mess with.

it's still #makeaterriblecomicday2025 here damn it...!
a hastily made 4-panel comic with a white background. In the first panel a cartoonish character is freaking out, saying "oh FUCK I'm almost out of time for #makeaterriblecomicday2025 !!!" with a semi-opaque image of an hourglass behind the character. In the second panel the character is looking away from the viewer saying "if only I didn't spend so much time drawing Deltarune characters today!", there are various semi-opaque doodles of characters from Deltarune in the background. The third panel has the character looking back towards the viewer in response to a question, repeating it back to them: "'do I regret my actions'?" There is a semi-opaque image of a person leaning back against a giant question mark in the background. The last panel has the character shrugging with a shrug emoticon behind them, saying "...not particularly"

if I spend too long thinking about Nyaan's almost passive acceptance of being a tool of the empire because she feels abandoned by her only friends I'll combust on the spot

...looking forward to the potential mech fight with Machu tho

#gquuuuuux
A doodle of Nyaan from Gundam GQuuuuuuX, she has an uncaring expression as her somewhat limp body is held up by puppet strings on her arms and hands. Behind her is the head of her mobile suit, the GFreD

A page from Akane-banashi chapter 154. Hikaru stands alone wondering why her rival Akane had to leave Two pages from Akane-banashi chapter 154. Hikaru gives a reinvigorated performance as she thinks on how her rival Akane is the only person driving her as a performer
