heart-thumping ocean #skipandloafer

happy drawing life #kiminitodoke

we got ririka and chris' first ever back cover and their matching outfits are soooo pretty 🫶🏼🫶🏼🌸

well being more active didn't happen but i really got into SPEC instead!! loved the drama and i'm currenly making my way through the movies, they're sooo ridiculously fun

the new cover is so cutieful! 🌸💛 #skiptoloafer #skipandloafer

I really love the new Skip & Loafer cover so I had to draw Sawako & Kurumi 😭 #KimiNiTodoke #君に届け

i genuinely can't get over how cute the colored version is 🥹🥹 i'm pretty sure this is my favorite cover so far

i'm hopefully going to be more active now that i've survived the jlpt!! finding out that egoshi akinori voices the listening section in the middle of my exam was such a beautiful surprise, there's truly skip to loafer everywhere for those with the eyes to see

You can support the Gaza Soup Kitchen in Chef Mahmoud's honour here

i'm hoping the background will have momiji since this volume features the kyoto trip (& it's supposingly a red volume if we follow the previous volumes' color pattern) 🥹🥹

on break this month but we got the cover preview for volume 11 🫶🏼🫶🏼 mitsumi in pigtails and ribbons making a heart with her arm and bashful shima with his matching ribbon... this has to be the cutest cover yet!!!!

skip & loafer mitsumi c61😆 #skipandloafer #skiptoloafer

the tiny ways in which mitsumi and shima miss each other are so brilliant because it's not the kind of miscommunication that pushes them away from each other but rather towards each other. it adds so much to an already complex and compelling dynamic

shima believes that mitsumi is oblivious to his facade but she's aware of how disconnected he feels from how he presents himself. what she sees in the cracks isn't the horrible person he thinks he is but his clumsy kindness, his gentleness even as he distances himself from others

what do you make of shima's question and his disappointment in mitsumi's answer? — we sometimes ask the people who love us what they see in us hoping that their answer will be something subtle and complicated beyond how we present ourselves, that there's + retrospring.net/@shinkanes/a...

hello!! i was just wondering when you got into scanlation and like what your favorite parts of it are? for me the process i… — hi!! i got into scanlation in 2021 for sukirofa : the chapters hadn't been translated for a few months so i decided to… retrospring.net/@shinkanes/a...

finally replied on retrospring so i'm going to attempt being better at crossposting here 🫡

winter ! #skiptoloafer #スキップとローファー

Skip and Loafer by Misaki Takamatsu will be on the cover of Afternoon issue 2, 2025, on sale December 24th. There will be a colour spread as well! Volume 11 is scheduled to release a day before that, on December 23rd.

I hardly see anything about Palestine here, and that must change. Here is a thread of vetted fundraisers for people in Palestine who need help! All fundraisers are from gaza-evacuation-funds on tumblr. I don’t verify fundraisers 🧵🇵🇸

the girlies !! 🫂❄️ #skiptoloafer

Please dont stop talking about Palestine after you move here. Something that concerns me about the move to bluesky is that the Palestinian accounts cant follow us... its already having a serious impact on their fundraisers :( here are fundraisers to support, starting with my sponsor family:

I've heard rumors that Palestinians in Gaza are getting their accounts taken down (cool and normal reasons I'm sure) so I'm threading a partial list of GoFundMes that I've personally supported, in the hopes that you will do the same!

i can usually tell what my favorite jdrama of the season will be a few weeks in but there are so many gems this autumn i'm not sure if i'll be able to pick

umineko stickers repost from my twitter #umineko #whentheycry

account focusing on posting manga that is written by women and trans artists and/or prioritises women’s stories

i don't have much to say these days, cramming for jlpt is taking over my life and i'm not shameless enough to complain (predictably started studying last minute)
