One of my short comics will be translated into English, and will be published on “Thickness #3″ in this June.
It will be FIRST OFFICIAL ENGLISH VERSION of my comics.
A lot of people may have seen many versions of my comics in English on internet, but all of them are piratical scanned and translated versions without my permission, violating the copyrights of me and my publishers. I’ve been feeling much distress at it.
And now, I’m very happy that I can announce about this first official version.
If you really love my works, please help this project to buy the zine. It may be only small step for both of us, but has possibilities to go to next steps.
When the correct information will be released from the publisher, I’ll announce it soon.
Keep on your eyes! ;)
