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.

My schedule once again got the better of me, so this update it more delayed than I would have liked. Still, it's probably better than delaying any late updates like I usually am!

The first order of business is that fanlisting I promised last December. For this design, I thought I'd try something a little different, since my normal blends wouldn't have suited the design very well. And I've been missing green—I think it's showing. I used to hate green. I guess something changed somewhere along the line?

1. Gohou Drug (Legal Drug)
   One of my favorite CLAMP series publications, but was put to hiatus in 2003. This mystery series depicts Kudo Kazahaya and Himura Rikuo hard at work doing their part-time job at a drugstore. You can usually find them there, but sometimes they aren't around when you need them. See, they have a secret job, too. And that's where their story begins.

Fun fact: The manga has nothing to do with the marijuana used for this series. Not sure why CLAMP decided to associate the object with this, but it's probably due to the title name.

A thousand apologies for a (very) long absence! I certainly haven't forgotten about this place. Life just seems to have gotten the better of me and it's easy to watch the new year slip by without even realizing it.

For several months, I have been working closely with Aelyn, changing and adding new contents for both the Keyblade and Pokemon clique. Aelyn has modded to enable favorites field to either be a regular text field or a dropdown list. She also has made it more simple to customize how I want to display the members list with "personality" compared to a fanlisting which normally consists only a name, email, URL and country. Due to recent changes to the script, the rules section were slightly updated. I went through 300+ members to do my sporadic link checks and pruned out dead links, links that took me a trip to find the code (and never found them), and links that had decided not to link back to the clique. Although there were a handful I had to unfortunately remove, I've added more new members to the clique, welcome!

From Aelyn's effort in coding to converting to HTML5 semantics, to renaming every sprite files, then adding over 1000+ Pokémon names onto the dropdown field (region forms Galarian, Alola, Hisuian, and Paldean included), she's also donated Pokéballs for the codes section! Thank you so much!
