A lot of you are here now, so quick reintroduction from me! I'm in editorial at Abrams ComicArts, I teach manga history at SVA, and I illustrate and draw comics in whatever free time is left over. I love medieval history, chatting about comics, fire emblem, and cats in no particular order. ✌️✨

this guy...agh, my weakness for men who are put together and meticulous and in control on the surface but concealing a core of burning rage and desperate insecurity just beneath the surface

Kind of a sensitive ask, but are there any English->Viet translators out there who could translate a personal note? (About queerness?)

I got my preorder of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes a couple days ago, and I haven’t had a chance to read it yet, but it looks amazing.

Sharing this thread from a queer artist who needs $$$ help, and I figured this image (my fav sticker of theirs) might resonate with folks.
Sticker says: Please give a bitch a break, I work very hard, I’m trying my best, I’m so tired all the goddamn time

Not quite there yet, but read a book on your commute if you don't drive, wake up early instead of working late when you have too much to do, and get all your vitamin deficiencies and medications sorted out.

So happy SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES made the list! :D I can't believe the first book I acquired comes out Tuesday, and it's been surreal to see praise come in already. Anaïs weaves an incredible story, and the team worked really hard to make every part of the book packaging reflect that.

Couldn't escape the toxic urge to look at online reviews of Smoke Gets in Your Eyes prior to the release — allow me to brag a little 💚🙈
