I've translated some of the episodes included in the doujinshi I'll be distributing at the Lupin event on May 6. poipiku.com/11907213/128... I'd like to translate the manga I've drawn so far into English, but since drawing manga itself takes a lot of time, for now, it's just a wish.

The list of participating circles for the Lupin event on May 6 is now available for free. www.b2-web-pamphlet.jp/super33day2/...

今描いてるエピソードのペン入れに没頭していてお品書きを投稿するのを今の今まで忘れていたんだが、こっちのアカウントでもあっちのアカウントでも日本のルパンファンとは殆ど繋がっていないから投稿したとてあまり宣伝効果ないんだよな。

SUPER COMIC CITY 33 男の超美学 2026 東1 さ02b 星天の霹靂 pixiv再録本と描き下ろし本と海外委託の3冊です。

Happy to say I helped make a dojinshi for this event and with Saute's help, it will be there! I hope the Japanese fans enjoy it 🫶

If you're the type of person who wants to know more than just what's on screen, you should definitely buy this. As I mentioned before, new information has been added to the liner notes, and inaccuracies from the previous Blu-ray edition have been corrected.

Not sure if I’ll get it. I have all of these already in blu ray. But the next set I’ll definitely need since I have a few of those on DVD. But like with Patlabor, still tempted to double dip

Aside from May 6, Lupin events are scheduled for August 30 in Tokyo and January 10 in Osaka. Once I finish the episode I'm currently working on, I plan to draw a new one for the August 30 event.

I'm starting to see a mix of people cheering that they made the deadline for the May 6 event and others screaming that there are only a few days left until it.

The list of participating circles for the Lupin event on May 6 has been released. If you pay the fee (330 yen), you can view the list right away. If you wait until May 1, you can view it for free. www.b2-web-pamphlet.jp/super33day2/...

The booth numbers for the Lupin event on May 6 have been announced. I need to start making all the necessary preparations.

I don't usually order merch from doujin printing companies since it's a hassle to draw art specifically for it, but I do enjoy looking at this kind of stuff. www.print-on.jp/doujin/comic...

I'm glad to be of help to Lupin fans in English-speaking countries! 😊

It's fun to browse through the list of binding options offered by doujinshi printing companies. But when it comes time to place an order, I end up thinking, "Foil stamping is… too flashy. Enamel coating… I can't think of anywhere to apply it," so I always end up going with a simple binding.

During Za Talk, Kiyozono shared a story about the animator in charge of this scene. The person who drew this is a wandering animator. They've worked on various projects and handled key parts.

It's a wonderful sight, but it's also a little sad to think this will be the last time I give money to Koike Lupin.

I need to make room on the wall of my bedroom to hang an A3-sized poster.

Last year, friend of the website @tsushi.bsky.social was fortunate enough to visit the Monkey Punch Collection in the town of Hamanaka. 🤩 Tsushi has graciously written up a guide with instruction for visiting both Hamanaka and the Monkey Punch collection! Coming next week to lupincentral.com!

Average fan: "In just a few days, I'll be able to watch The Immortal Bloodline at home!" Me: "In just a few days, I'll get my hands on some reference material!" I'm sure there are plenty of other otaku out there who feel the same way I do.

During Z2L Za Talk, when the topic came up that "Koike's drawings are very detailed, but you simplifies the ears, don't you?", Koike remarked, "Unlike hands and other parts, the silhouette of the ears doesn't change. Since they aren't important for expressing emotion, I don't draw them in much."

I want to play ZA, Air Riders, and Pokopia, but I haven't even bought them yet. I've been spending all my free time drawing manga. Once I finish drawing everything, I plan to play them. That will probably be next year or later.

This is just my opinion, but I think the fact that the Fake Lupin's voice and eyebrows differ from Lupin's is for the viewers' benefit; within the story's world, I imagine there are absolutely no physical differences between the two.

I went to the Kirby Cafe and my local movie bar with @mystsaphyr.art and @untramentaro.bsky.social. Thank you for giving me so many Kirby goods and for letting me join you on your trip!

The pairing of Fake Lupin and Lupin is more interesting to me than Fake Lupin and Zenigata. Because it makes their identities stand out more clearly.

Z2L is supposed to be a story where Zenigata takes center stage, yet I sometimes feel guilty about drawing comics where I neglect Zenigata and only feature Fake Lupin. But I can't resist my own desires, so I'll keep drawing Fake Lupin comics where Zenigata doesn't appear in a single panel.

My little sister told me, "This is totally packed with all the things you like." poipiku.com/11907213/128...

The fact that the English version of Z2L became available on March 3rd (Japan time) is funny, like the official side has joined in.

While not available in the United Kingdom, it seems Lupin the IIIRD: Zenigata and the Two Lupin's is now available with both English and Japanese language audio in the United States?! LUPIN THE IIIRD: ZENIGATA AND THE TWO LUPINS www.primevideo.com/detail/0JDVG...

I'm not sure if my name will appear in Volume 1, but I believe it will be included in Volume 2. (I provided some assistance with liner notes for the four works other than Island of Assassins.)

And last up, everyone's favorite gentleman thief caps off the announcements... Lupin the 3rd: TV Specials Collection 2! The 5 Lupin TV specials from 1994-1998 are here in HD, subbed & dubbed! Plus galleries, liner notes, alternate versions of Twilight Gemini, & more!

Someone suggested that "March 3rd is Lupin and Fake Lupin Day," so I plan to post the first chapter scheduled for inclusion in my 2nd doujinshi on that day.

I placed a pre-order. www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/4...

If you send me the Italian DVD and Blu-ray of Z2L, the limited edition box, and the Italian DVD of The Immortal Bloodline to my address, I will send you the Japan-exclusive Blu-ray of The Immortal Bloodline in return as a token of my thanks.

“Zenigata and the Two Lupin's” is coming to home video in Italy! 🇮🇹 The film releases March 30th 2026 on Blu-ray and DVD. Those buying the Blu-ray version will receive a limited edition box, which will house all five Koike films (others to be bought separately). amzn.eu/d/0aixrqCM

Due to various circumstances, the content has expanded and it looks like it'll be around 200 pages total. (I haven't finalized the layout yet, so I don't know the exact page count.)

I wonder if they hurried to produce The Immortal Bloodline because they wanted to complete it while Telecom still existed. gamebiz.jp/news/421008

The biggest advantage of drawing my own manga is that the content will definitely match my preferences. The biggest disadvantage, however, is that I can't read it without spoilers.

Added an explanation about a certain plant appearing in the final scene of The Immortal Bloodline.

@tsushi.bsky.social and @alexisroyce.ink sent me such lovely New Year's card! They're the best New Year's gift ever, thank you so much💖 I'm wishing you both a wonderful 2026 too!

Boom!

The short doujinshi has been completed and delivered.

I'll share Koike's explanation about the poison that I heard at a talk show. Since this might be a spoiler, I'll write it on the linked page. fse.tw/k1xV6NQX

I helped out a bit with the liner notes. Translation support, correcting misinformation, adding new commentary, and so on. For those who want to know more than just watching TV Specials, I recommend purchasing it even if you already own the previous edition.

And last up, Lupin grabs another announcement... Lupin the 3rd: TV Specials Collection 1! The 1st 5 Lupin TV specials from 1989-1993 are collected in HD. All 5 are subbed, 1 & 5 are dubbed. Plus 3 commentaries, liner notes, galleries, commercials, & more!
