FAQ

A: I will keep such a request in mind as one of the important opinions. However, at this time, I do not reflect requests from users or individual fans when I decide on the subject matter for my personal drawings. I apologize if I have disappointed you.

A: I generally do not respond to free requests. I only accept requests through Marshmallows once in a few years or so, occasionally. Please understand. As for paid requests, please refer to the questions one and two below.
>what’s Marshmallow?
Marshmallow is a service that accepts anonymous messages. Negative or abusive comment is filtered out by AI, so it will never be seen by the recipient.

A: No, I am not currently accepting personal commissions. I used to accept requests via Skeb, but I closed all openings in March 2026 with no plans to resume.

A: While this policy may change in the future, I am not currently accepting work as a “Mama” (e.g., avatar design or full-body illustrations intended for Live2D rigging). While I may open commissions for character-focused still illustrations in the future, I cannot make any definitive promises at this stage.

A: I am sorry, but I do not accept any FGO requests other than through TYPE-MOON (or Notes Co., Ltd.）.

A: I must decline in accordance with the client’s guidelines. I am sorry I cannot meet your expectations.

A: On rare occasions, I list painted Artist Proofs on BASE. Please note that popular items are sold via lottery. Due to BASE’s system specifications, these transactions are limited to credit card payments and cannot be purchased directly from overseas.
As an alternative for international fans, I had planned to list items on eBay. However, this is currently on hold until I can ensure a more secure and stable delivery method. This is due to the ongoing changes regarding the abolition of “de minimis” tax exemptions, which complicates international shipping and tax regulations. I will resume these plans once I find a reliable way to get these items to you safely.

A: If it is not an MtG autograph session, please ask during my free time at Comiket. Please prepare pens and other materials in advance. Please note that I may not be able to accept autographs in the morning during busy periods, or even in the afternoon in some cases. In the case of autograph sessions hosted by cmanga publishers, in many cases, only certain media are available for autographs, so please check the information in advance.

A: Please click here.

A: I’ m sorry, but I can’ t answer each individual question. I don’t have time to answer all of them, and in some cases, due to contractual reasons, I’m not allowed to respond to you.
In the case of FGO, the information may already be available in the material books. If you still can’t figure it out, please look for a strategy sites, fan’s sites, etc.
In the case of my manga, if you write a letter to me, may be I can answer you in the story. (I’l try, but I’m sorry if I failed.)
Basically, I leave anything that is not depicted in the manga to your imagination.This is because I don’t like to have a difference in information between those who have directly asked the author about the materials and those who have not, even though both have read the same manga.
Thank you for your understanding.

A: I am sorry, but I do not grant permission for this. This is because I cannot manage the details of localization, and I am unable to address unintended adaptations or mistranslations. Thank you for your understanding.

A: No, please avoid purchasing from those sources. These are unauthorized listings created by “dropshipping” resellers using data from the second-hand market and have no affiliation with my circle. Buying from sources other than official distributors (Toranoana, Melonbooks) carries risks such as items not arriving, defective products, or being charged unfairly high prices.

A:Please dispose of them (recycle as paper) or gift them to a trusted friend who understands doujin culture. In the past, I permitted selling to second-hand doujinshi retailers. However, there has been a recent surge in malicious “dropshipping” (listing items on Amazon etc. at inflated prices) that exploits these retailers’ inventory data. To clearly separate my official work from unofficial distributions and prevent unforeseen trouble, I ask for your understanding and cooperation.

A: Yes, there is a way. While Toranoana and Melonbooks do not ship directly overseas, they have official partnerships with proxy buying services. Please consider using services like AOCS or tenso.com.

No, you cannot. According to the guidelines for official illustrators regarding the characters I designed, these items are only available at the event venue. However, in some cases, certain paper-based items may be included with mail-order books.

A: Unless you have always liked to send feedback to authors, please don’t feel obliged to do so. Everyone has their own form of support, and I am grateful for all of them. I would be happy if you could support me in a way that is comfortable for you.

A: Your kindness is greatly appreciated, but please keep your ideas to yourself and never share them with me. If the idea happens to be the same as an idea I have been working on, I may not be able to draw it because of the possibility of rights or financial troubles or disputes.
However, I may solicit ideas for projects. I would appreciate your participation in such cases.

A: I appreciate your kindness very much, but in order to concentrate on my creation, I basically keeping myself one step apart from messages sent via internet. The reason for this is that I receive your messages with great care, and it takes time for me to return my attention back after reading them. I apologize very much for this. I try to keep my Twitter replies and YouTube comments open as much as possible. Also, on rare occasions, I may release tools such as Marshmallow or Google Forms. Please consider this.

A: I do not change my lifestyle or authorship based on advice from readers or users. I am acting based on my own judgment or that of the professionals I have chosen to work with. I am only grateful for your kindness.

A: Because I like it for its language of flowers. The major words are “happiness”, “trust”, “sincere love”, and “separation”, but on rare occasions I found materials that included the words “insoluble mystery”, which I thought was cool. Maybe it was added recently, I don’t know.

A: Because I wanted to use my favorite Kanji character and because it was auspicious according to onomancy. If I like the name, I will use it regardless of my gender.

A: There was a time when I left the company and quit the drawing career due to my health condition. I changed it for a fresh start as I resumed my activities after my recovery.

A: Because while I was working for my manga series , I was not always comfortable, and there was always the possibility that I would speak out in an unkind and weak manner, and I didn’t want that to become noise when people enjoyed my manga and the characters I designed for the game.
I haven’t been working for the new manga series for the past few years and I have more need to advertise my works, so I’m back to Twitter now.
I am not sure what will I do in the future.
