I mean, we *can* make it the way we want. It's called fanworks. An excellent way to tell your story with the characters you love, without harassing showrunners/authors/game devs.

Nostalgic for our favorite figure skating boys? SHORT PROGRAMS by @inknose.bsky.social is back in print! Available for purchase on our store and at Manga Ichiba @ Fanime www.yamfamcomics.com/store/short-...

Unfortunately I got SICK today which is really impacting my ability to work on stuff but hoping I can still get prints and stuff done before Manga Ichiba. I've always been bad with my own deadlines but even now I've been cuttin it close! All prayers to meeee

I see a lot of "I hope manga ichiba is successful" types of comments and I appreciate it! I'm just genuinely wondering what a good measure of success is. I'll be there for 6 hours so I can help measure it. Is it turnout? Should there be a survey for attendees and/or vendors to fill out post-event?

made a shitty printer paper copy of my comic from leokumi week. theyre very low quality bc my printer is crying out in pain and i have terrible trimming skills but ill have some at manga ichiba lol

IM SO JEALOUS OF EVERYONE GOING TO MANGA ICHIBA AND FANINE IM SO JEALOUS

MY BOYS ARE HERE!!!! the red+ greyscale printed so good. I'm so glad... come get some sad bittersweet knight school boy yaoi at Manga Ichiba friday night 🩸🗡️ (and I'll definitely also have a digital version and/or physical leftovers afterward this summer!)

Front+Back cover previews for my Yuumori SW/WS doujinshi anthology for Manga Ichiba - Sun 6pm-12am @ Z04! Will be tabling with friends with our idolish7 anthology work too!

i can't wait for manga ichiba

Seeing so much hype and interest in manga ichiba is giving me hope that a better world is possible... one with more sicko books...

Quod Ames previews … #MangaIchiba2026

Me: I better rush and finish up this doujin Also me: what if I took 3 hours on a single page to add a bunch of lettering and stuff

Need to finish my comic need to do laundry need to pick up my books from the printers and also print more......aaaufhhdhdhd

Got to see Florence and the Machine in SF last night!!! What a wonderful show!!!! Her music has been a part of my life since my high school deviantart days so glad to appreciate the new album as well as the old beloved tunes

i just described fan doujin events in japan as "it's like if ao3 was a physical space" and i think that might be a winner for getting english-speaking people to instantly understand what makes them fun and desirable places to be

I think it was talkin 2 like a fellow artist in his forties who just kept pilling on trades with me that made me realize moneys great for like, survival but it removes the aspect of community from art almost always. Thankfully you can always just trade.

Lrp this is kind of my mixed feelings towards not just the state of artist alleys and conventions these days but also "this is a doujin market juuuust for you, the first time one was EVER done outside of japan" type stuff, like, no, wrong, incorrect

Before manga ichiba we had that stuff. It was literally the artist's alley and zinefests before anyone comes at me and goes UH NO JAPAN EVENTS ARE DIFFERENT, yeah, there's differences due to how spaces can be rented, the general attitude towards creating stuff, and what nerds actually show up for

do not. address it

the 'just vibes' censorship is really irritating me

i hate that people have code-worded pedophile as 'pdf-file' because now it is extremely hard to discern if someone is actually talking about a pdf or a child predator. why was this mass adopted as a meme. holy shit.

bluesky really needs to learn how to identify a rhetorical question and learn not to respond to it because the point of a rhetorical question is you already know the answer

Gonna intro my new butch/femme comic Beast's Libation a bit. I wanted to write a love story that featured both an insane power imbalance and the feeling of having to hide yourself in order to be loved.

wishing manga ichiba vendors n attendees a v poggerific time 🙏🔥

Waited on mentioning this until sure I could make it happen - thanks to learning about a new "doujin-focused" printer which opened here domestically, I was able to make a "bonus booklet" after all! Many thanks to MCE Printing & the Manga Ichiba artists for info about MCE! Back cover + an interior:

I hope Manga Ichiba does well and it would be thanks to all the hard work of the participants getting the word out for WEEKS, and I would hope that gets recognized

Book banning seems so crazy and unlikely--until you see it. Until you notice the book just...isn't there. Until you get your first threatening letter. Until you see the well-funded Moms for Liberty member at the school board talking about taking the books. Until you see the fired librarians.

i'll be there during saturday (daytime)! i'll have a BL doujin for this somewhat obscure game called pokémon legends arceus.... not sure if any of you guys have heard of it

Twt doesn't load for me which is probably good LOL coming off my 5 day socmedia break in the woods but I def am trying to keep up with and rt every manga ichiba promo post now that it's happening in earnest!

lrp I really hope Manga Ichiba at fanime is successful! I wish I could go. I hope there could be more events for doujinshi here in the US

in addition to the main doujinshi, we will also have a number of zines, prints, and stickers available both online and in-person at fanime

The Yam Fam will be at Manga Ichiba! This is a brand-new event focused entirely on doujinshi, so we're very excited to participate, and hoping for its success. Spread the word, and see you at Fanime! 💜💛

One neat thng about Juneau is at comics camp they talked about how they've cultivated a neat culture of cartoonists visiting schools and teaching comics and introducing comics to kids, so those kids grow up being very comics literate and curious!

49,000 Lake Tahoe residents may lose most of their power so AI data centers can keep churning out chatbot sludge and billionaire profits. Imagine telling an entire community: “Sorry about your electricity, but the servers need it more.” Late-stage capitalism is a disease. fortune.com/2026/05/12/l...

The great, great, great Alaska Robotics Mini-Con is tomorrow in Juneau, and if you've never heard of this delightful event, I went last year and wrote about what makes it such a special show from the perspective of its creators and attending guests.

Will be with my fellow doujin circle members, Good4Yaoi, selling our idolish7 anthology as well! Please come visit, I would love to yap about one or both series that mean a lot to me 🫶

That's meee!!! We're gonna be at the Manga Ichiba event later this month on Saturday night, along with the night market all weekend! Stop by for some epic book action.

if anybody bring ai no kusabi doujins to manga ichiba you have my whole ass wallet

i see some naysayers on manga ichiba and doujin events in NA before it even happens and I'm like girl, it's NEW. it hasn't happened yet fhdkfhshfs let it happen first... and then we'll see if "comics are dead". <- wild thing to say while an online comics event is happening but okay

man more people have been piping up excited about manga ichiba than I ever would have expected, comics people have been waiting for their spotlight and the audiences are starved!!!!! and even if this event ends up rough it's the first one and undoubtedly other events will do better

Just returned from being out of town, catching up on things - there's now a page on Fanime's site showing everyone's circle cuts for Manga Ichiba! www.fanime.com/the-oasis/ma... Go see if you can find Trahearne & Malyck (and more of your favorite pairings!) if you wish :D
