I really like to see the progress that is so underrated, when you tell somebody who never drew, that you have to make 5 pages a week, he would probably laugh and say how little it is but actually there is so much time and effort to put in one single page and the perfectionism can also like take at least 2-3 extra hours per page. And you also go to work, you really deserve my respect, but please think about your health and try to sleep just a bit more😊

[@TiffanyNg100]

Same here really appreciate she stress out for storyboard. I usually just skip it and then result is horrible

[@deyslide1058]

@@TiffanyNg100 I also draw for some time now I‘m not very good but I know how much time just one artwork can take, I also plan to my own manga but I’m too bad yet😬

[@NekoPanda122]

as someone who studies art in uni, and is required to submit drawings every week, 5 pages a week is insane, it may be easier if you're used to it, but that's a lot, not to mention in a mangaka's case that's not just 5 pages of drawing whatever they want, they need to think about the flow of the story, the conversations, the compositions etc, all that on top of drawing 5 pages in just one week is amazing, I've had illustration pieces that takes weeks to finish, and the fastest piece I've made was like 5-6 hours ( I know illustrations and manga are different, but the comparison still stands)

[@graysbygrace]

Same, now I understand that it is patience that is important don't rush the process. I feel because we attached to creating content for social media is sometimes an influence 👌👌👌(if you do) you just rush the whole process and forget the main idea. Quite interesting to watch.

[@dericmederos1514]

I just have one question. Is mieri a boy or girl?

[@stickthesecond5085]

all the mental effort that goes into making the manga then also the fact you make these videos. you must be one strong-willed person to have come this far

[@dancortat7445]

True, it´s really impressive. Most times we imagine many people doing one manga, but it´s one person doing all the efforts, she is really strong-willed. I also liked to see how she did it, so cool and real.

[@God-T]

All that for a Drop of five pages. 👁👄👁🩸

[@milluvia005]

As a small artist working on my own manga, seeing this helps inspire me since I stress so much on not knowing what I'm doing at all lol. It's nice to hear we all have our different ways and passion to create something.

Watching you do your work is so entertaining to me, I first found your manga in twitter and I find it really fun to read! Especially how the main character is drawn in such a simple way next to the complicated beautiful women surrounding her lol. I saw in twitter how you did that kissing scene, saying you can use yourself as reference and I thought it was a genius move for a drawing that needs perspective. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
