Even though I have only been running Fanbox for about a month, I have been thinking about a few things while drawing illustrations with different variations.

Personally, while working on them, I felt that the overall story and continuity were lacking, which sometimes made it difficult for me to become immersed in the work.

I also feel that I still have a lot to improve before I can draw R-18 illustrations that are as beautiful or appealing as those made by other artists. Because of that, I have tried presenting some of my work in a manga-style format in the 300-yen plan, and I have also tried making short manga pieces for the 700-yen plan.

When I did that, I found that having a story and a sense of progression made the work more immersive for me.

Of course, everyone has different reasons for enjoying illustrations. In my case, I like creating situations that make me think, “It would be fun if there were a story like this.”

With that in mind, I wanted to share my current plans so that everyone can choose the plan that best suits what they are looking for, and so that you do not end up paying for something you do not really want. Money is important, after all! :D

R-18

300-yen plan → Short manga focused on immersion, short side stories, and 1–2 illustration variations (2–3 times a week)

500-yen plan → Manga featuring romance or a “getting close to each other” kind of relationship with the characters from your point of view. (I am thinking of around 20–40 panels and plan to make one per month.)

700-yen plan → Futanari plan. I already have a world setting in mind, and once I have organized everything, I plan to post details about the world and the characteristics of the characters. (I am thinking of around 20–40 panels and plan to make one per month.)

So, if your main purpose is to look at illustrations rather than manga, there is really no need to subscribe to the 500- or 700-yen plans!

(Money is important! :D)

From here, I would like to talk about translations.

Personally, since most of the characters I mainly work with are Japanese characters, I am using Japanese as the main language for the overall work.

However, I would like more people to be able to enjoy my work, so I am considering adding English and Korean translations as well.

That said, even my Japanese translations currently contain quite a few literal translations and mistranslations, so I am worried that they might interfere with the immersion of those reading them.

Even so, I want as many people as possible to be able to enjoy my work, so I am studying and working on the translations at the same time.

As for English, I only know very basic vocabulary, so I have no choice but to rely on translation tools. Because of that, some parts may sound too literal or unnatural.

If I add English translations and you notice any problems with the wording, please let me know. I will check and revise them!

【Summary】

Except for the 300-yen plan, I am planning to mainly focus on manga.

I think translations are necessary, but I am really not good at English. Because I will probably have to rely on translation tools, I am concerned that mistranslations, overly literal translations, or typos could interfere with the immersion. So I would really appreciate your honest opinions. (Whether you think I should try it or just not do it is both fine, and any additional opinions are also welcome.)

If you have any additional opinions or preferences about the current direction I am taking, even if they are small things, I would really appreciate hearing them!

20-40 panels is hard work, consider reducing them to manageable levels. Not sure about your original language, but I think you should translate from the source. I personally think it's all readable though

BP, thank you very much for your feedback. So far, I haven’t had any issues with the workload, so if I feel that it becomes too much as I continue working, I’ll consider reducing the number of panels in the earlier parts or finding another solution. Since around 20 panels is manageable for me, I’m planning to keep around 20 panels as the standard amount for now. (Of course, if any other issues come up, things may change, and I’ll let you know again at that time :D) As for the translation, I’ll do my best to cross-check everything and make it sound as natural as possible. The sentences may still sound a little awkward at times, but I’d be happy if you could kindly see those shortcomings as cute little mistakes. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts with me. I hope you’ll look forward to my next work!
