I can't believe it's already almost the end of July. Honestly, I felt I haven't done much except process FL and clique applications. I originally intended to have a fanlisting ready for the beginning of July. However, through a series of irritating circumstances and foreseeable future, I've found myself without Photoshop! Hence, I was unable to do anything until I got the problem sorted out.

Strong Women Updates
Before this month ends, I want to announce on starting a new project on FLs regarding strong women. This will mainly apply to fictional characters for either a game or an anime. Unless another subject out of this idea strikes me, I will also include them on the updates.

1. Resident Evil: Jill Valentine
   The first strong female spotlight has to hand down to Jill Valentine, one of the main protagonist to the Resident Evil franchise. Jill's personality is generally pretty serious. She's eager to make a difference and protect people. Despite going through so many horrors in her life, she continues to try to make a difference.

As mentioned, I want to stay true to my words about the unfinished 2024 roadmap. Future content plans will be announced separately in upcoming updates. Stay tuned!

A new fanlisting is now online to wrap up the ending of April. I wanted to make sure I get this up to avoid getting listed in the troubles section. I have also processed members for all my cliques!

1. CLAMP
   This design is rather simple because I wanted to emphasize more on CLAMP's artworks without doing too much editing. As you can see, I have quite a collection of fanlistings based from CLAMP and to be granted to own this subject is quite a blessing! I love CLAMP and their works. Please don't forget to join on your way there if you're a fan of this Mangaka group!

No new updates will be made until some time towards the end of May. I will be on 3-week vacation starting 2 days from now and I'll have a bit of email backlog to tackle. So if you're waiting on a response from me, I'll be getting to that as soon as I return from my trip.

Hey all, happy April! I just finished a design for a new fanlisting that I got approved for. Please check it out!

1. Gokinjo Monogatari (Neighborhood Story)
   If you love Yazawa Ai and her works, then this manga is worth the read. The series depicts the main protagonist, Mikako Kouda, who delves into her journey to achieve her dream for fashion while navigating the complexities of teenage life, friendship, and love.

This layout did not take too long to design. There were many colorful images that were carefully hand-picked that they inspired and motivated me to complete the layout in one day! Yazawa Ai's illustrations always leave me with a good impression—fashion remained an integral part of her's life and artistic works as she has masterfully woven fashion into the very essence of her manga through her iconic characters. The finished design turned out how I wanted it to be without the high contrast colors breaking my eyes.
