Me:
Gentle reminder that memes and inside jokes relating to human identity, such as race, gender, sexuality, ableness, neurodivergency, etc. don’t always apply to everyone in that ingroup, and if you don’t relate to all the fun jokes in a community, your identity is still valid. People are complex and one person with that identity may not share the same experiences and feelings as another. I think that makes every person so special and a point to be celebrated.
admin’s favorite outtakes (i can’t even remember what number we’re on)
can i ask you something i’ve always wanted to ask the real batman?
I hope all of you GANGSTA. fans are taking care during this difficult time. This is just a quick note to let you all know that at this stage, we will not be continuing with FYG though we do still remain firm fans of the series and its creator.
Why will we not continue with this blog?
Kohske has asked very clearly that people do not reupload her work without her explicit permission. Kiel and myself both feel that continuing to mirror her updates and art posts here on Tumblr would breach her wishes, something that we personally do not feel comfortable doing.
If you want to keep up-to-date with what Kohske, simply visit her official Japanese channels below:
Twitter: Kohske posts regularly here about her health, her birds, and her addiction to FGO. If you want to see the art she has been working on, this is the place to visit.
Pixiv Fanbox:Support Kohske with a monthly donation (like Patreon) and get access to images and explanations of her pre-GANGSTA. work.
Booth: Kohske sells her work directly via the Pixiv Booth service (kind of like RedBubble or TeePublic). She has a variety of java finch-themed designs available on merchandise. Utilise a proxy service when buying internationally.
Homepage: Kohske’s official website. Not regularly updated, but a good resource for those interested in her work.
Please do not write to Kohske in English on social media. She is not fluent in any language other than Japanese and cannot respond in a manner in which she is comfortable.
Kohske does not know if the anime is getting a second season (mangaka have no control over this) nor does she know about your local, non-Japanese releases. Please be polite and respectful of her as she tries her best to communicate all important notices to international, as well as local fans.
You can also visit the Comic Bunch homepageto see what’s in the latest issue of the magazine (there’s a lot of great non-GANGSTA. titles running) and the site also offers Japanese chapters online here.
Thank you for understanding our stance and may you all continue to remain safe during 2020. <3 Remember to pick up licensed copies of the GANGSTA. manga and anime in your region and support Kohske if you can!
There is no easy way to say this, but Kiel and I will no longer be updating FYG on a regular basis.
I first started this Tumblr 7 years ago after LJ went downhill, with Kiel joining me to help out not long after. Together we’ve tried hard to keep the English-language community informed about GANGSTA. releases and Kohske’s work in general. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, we’ve both found our lives changing and neither of us has the time to update like we used to.
We still love Kohske and we’re not necessarily gone forever (we might get more free time down the track). However, for now, we’ve decided to step back and focus on the important aspects of our daily lives that need our attention.
Thank you all for being fans of Kohske and her work. We hope you will continue to support her in the future by purchasing the manga volumes in your preferred language (and if you haven’t yet, throw a few bucks her way on Pixiv Fanboxevery month).
<3 Shiori and Kiel
(PS: We will continue to try and keep links valid for official releases you can purchase, as well as for downloads we’ve added over the years. We will also preserve everything on here already as-is so you can reblog and save older pics to your heart’s content. We will not delete this blog as our living and working situations may change and if it ever becomes possible, we’d like to update again someday. ^^)
