Welcome :D

Let me show you some of my 4koma (about my life with cats).
Nao-p is my nick name my friend Mami Tachibana gave me. And I call her Mami-p. Of course it comes from Wedding Peach "Momo-p". No one calls me by the name except for her, but I love the 4 koma cartoon "Go Go Momo-pi (Gan-bare Momo-p)"(In the paperbacks) so I use it. :)
Oh, I'm a manga artist Nao Yazawa, and author of Wedding Peach, by the way. :)

These "comic strips" come from my 4-koma blog (in Japanese). You can see all of them in original here. If you have a request which 4koma will be next, tell me. :D

Neibers


It is warm winter here, you can wear a short sleeves in day time in a sunny room. ...But this story isn't new, drew some time ago, that's the reason of the short sleeves.

Run Kuro run!

Translation/Elina

Oops, half sleeves... you can see that I drew this quite a while ago. ^^;
It is a warm winter here in this year, though!

So Enegetic


I had many stocks but they are running out since I haven't drew any new 4koma at the moment. I finished Christmas card, so Nenga jyo(New year card) next. I'd better to clean my home, schools are not finished yet in this year, there is a manga I want to draw, books I want to read, movies I want to watch... I always wonder how people use their time, they read and watch a lot.

Must Sit

Translation by Elina

Sometimes manga doesn't need to be translated, especially 4koma manga...

2015/12/05

Anybody will do, huh?

You might know by the picture, it was a story when they were kittens. Things haven't changed, though. I don't bring them my mom's home anymore, because I feel Kuro pees on my blanket after some visits. It's just a feeling, though. 


2015/11/26

Dive in no matter what.

A new 4koma after all this time.
It's not a new, I drew this before Banzaicon(the end of  this Oct.) but things don't change at all - more troublesome.

Coffee Party new book.

Long time no see - no post on my blog for long time!

I was busy for preparation of Kaigai Manga Festa(Tokyo International Comic Festival)  and Coffee Party new book, In Search of Lost Coffee 4, which I sold at Kaigai Manga Festa.

It was 15th November - and after that, still I'd been busy for manga school and so on. But anyway, finally, I added In Search of Lost Coffee 4 to my Doshinshi-mail order list.

You can order from outside Japan, pay Paypal/credit card.
Till vol.3, Saeko worked with me, but  she withdrew from this volume. Instead of that, I got some new 6 people from the world, it's a "International collaboration doujin book". 

It's written English with Japanese subtitle/Japanese with English subtitle. 

As usual, it's all about Croissant and Eclair, our French heroines, but in my part, you can see Wedding Peach family too, I featured them since this year 2015 is 20th anniversary of Anime onair! ;)

Kaigai Manga Festa

I'm leaving Japan tomorrow, and couldn't finish the editing work of Coffee Party Book, for Kaigai Manga Festa on 15 Nov. Still, I have about 1 week after my return, so I think I can do somehow - not easy, though. 

Maybe I can do some work during Banzaicon - if I have some extra energy. If I have...

Banzaicon in USA

I'm leaving Japan on 28th Wednesday to USA for Banzaicon. And I'm working on Coffee Party project book (editing and toning of my part) . With some document work from Manga School, my life has been confusing a bit now... No preparation for my trip yet. -.-

I hope I finish the editing work before my departure, but it seems difficult. Oh well, still I have some time after the convention... but I work harder, it would be safer. 

This book is for Kaigai Manga Festa 2015, on 15 November. 
If there is someone who is coming to Banzaicon, let's meet there!

Fighting Blankets 2


She hadn't peed for a while and I hope she keeps it going, but the no-pee-on-bracket record was broken this early morning. I washed my blanket and it hasn't dried yet... X(

Now, the time to say good-bye to an electric fan, actually!

Toulouse manga teachers 2


They were very encouraging, actually!

I always need someone to talk to when I give a lecture. If it was a lecture to an audience  I find an eager participant in the front row and talk to her/him, my imaginary assistant.

But - sometimes - people who nods because of just politeness, but understanding. Ouch!

Toulouse manga teachers 1


It was a story for a while ago. All of them are teaching manga at Toulouse Manga, so I had high level lessons. Not only teaching, but also we discussed about their works.

It was exciting very much! :)

Light cloths


I've lived with 6 cats before Kuro and Mei, but nobody sat on my shoulder like them. I didn't teach anything - I wonder why.

Air Conditioner


Although it's only very hot day, it is very hot in summer recently - pets would die without an air conditioner.

The Last Lesson

Yesterday's lesson at Manga School Nakano was the last lesson for my student from Sweden,

She had comes to the school once a month since March in 2014. She is going back home country to go to an art school for one year. So, she started to learn fine art from this September, but she want to keep learning manga, and moves on online lesson from September. 

I'm very happy that she decided to keep drawing manga with me, and I'd started online course.

She was, and maybe is not a deep manga fan, and has no artists who have her inference. (Quite rare case, I think!) Of course she is interested in manga, the method and idea. The way her approach made me impressed sometimes, and I learnt some from her.

She copied reference images at first, then, illustration, coloring, an illustration with panels, then has just started manga with an original story.  

Illustrations with panel work.


It was a private lesson and the subjects came from her. Her interest reached to "Manga" without my suggestion, that pleased me, too. (Creating one shot manga is very hard work, though)

Many of my students take only one, or a couple of lessons. So leaving of long term student is special for me...I'll see her online soon, though.

She said she is thinking to come back to Japan when she finished the art course and start a standard manga class again. Sounds like my lesson is pretty good, right? ;)

One of her copy drawing. I asked her to pick up some reference image she liked, then the images she took was "Kaze to Ki no Uta" by Keiko Takemiya. A very classic manga. Interesting choice!
