What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.

Chapter 85 is now out, Shirahama posted the coloured version of the incredible chapter cover for this one.

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go and stare at a wall after that chapter.

Shirahama's newest illustration (23/11/23) to accompany the release of chapter 74. The page count of this chapter is a little shorter than usual which she notes in her tweet - to add speculation I imagine her participation in the EGAKU exhibition may have something to do with it!

found out today that Shirahama Kamome, one of my all time favourite Manga authors, is pro Palestine... *sigh* she is doing all the "ceasefire now!" "stop the genocide in Rafah!" "the Japanese government needs to call for a ceasefire!" like... dude Kamome, love your work my guy, but c'mon how many times do queers and allies who support Palestine need to be told something so damn basic?? there is no genocide happening there, Hamas want there to be and don't want a damn ceasefire unless it is completely unfair and only because they have shit they wanna hide. the majority of Palestinians hate queers, I get wanting to support the small percentage of people who don't and who are genuinely innocent, I do too, but you should be asking Hamas for a ceasefire and to surrender, if more people did that instead of just boycotting Starbucks then maybe~ something good would actually happen... ahhhhhhhhh
