Hi, This is muchi.
The outline of 2025 is starting to blur. Through its translucent body, I can already see the numbers “2026” clearly on the other side. No matter how I try to hold on and embrace 2025, my arms just sweep through empty air.
Only a few days left in 2025.
Christmas was the usual for us: training, bodybuilding meals… and, well, I mi...

Hi, This is muchi.
I had soba for the first time in a while.
There’s a popular soba place near my home, but somehow I’d never actually gone. Then one day I happened to walk by and the line was unusually short, so I finally decided to give it a try.
I ordered their lunch...

Hi, This is muchi.
Lately we’ve been in a “let’s just go anywhere we can get to!” mood, hopping around inside and outside Japan while working—and this week we went to Vietnam.
When there’s a 20°C temperature difference, that alone is exciting.
I’d been a little curious ever since seeing Vietnam’s pavilion at Expo 2025, and it turned out t...

Hi, This is muchi.
A sudden cold wave hit this week, and even in our area—where it usually doesn’t snow much—we got some snowfall. ☃️
It must have come down in the middle of the night, because when I checked in the morning nothing had really settled on the ground. On the way to the gym, though, I passed a car that had flipped over and was completely wrecked, so the ...

Hi, This is muchi.
This week’s report is coming to you from Hong Kong—I’m here on a trip from Japan right now.
The strange thing is, the one-way ticket was actually cheaper than a full-price eroge with a first-press bonus. Being able to cross a national border within East A...

Hi, This is muchi.
Black Friday has descended upon us again.
As someone who really loves getting a good deal, this is an important season for me—but every year I end up thinking, “Isn’t not buying it actually the best bargain of all?” and roasting myself over it. At this point I can only laugh at how I never learn.
One thing I keep coming back to: tho...

Hi, This is muchi.
In a previous post I wrote about the recent spike in bear attacks in Japan, and now there’s been a new development: police officers are now allowed to carry rifles specifically for bear culling. In a country where even carrying a kitchen knife in public is tightly restricted, this is a huge change—and shows just how serious the situation has become. I really ...

Hi, This is muchi.
A friend drove us to Costco again today, and I stocked up on the frozen blueberries I eat every day. 🫐
Blueberries are fantastic, but they aren’t a typical home staple in Japan, so Costco is the best option. There was a stretch where the price skyrocketed ...

Hi, This is muchi.
The hottest topic in Japan right now? Bears!🐻
Sadly, this year has seen the highest number of fatal bear attacks since records began—reportedly already more than double the previous worst year. They’re not animals amateurs can just “deal with,” and there are very few people qualified to do so, which is why the government is convening emerg...

Hi, This is muchi.
I took a short trip to Nagasaki.
Nagasaki sits on the western side of Japan, in the Kyushu region, and is characterized by its intricately indented coastline and numerous islands.

Hi, This is muchi.
Recently, airlines tightened their guidelines, and rules around power banks got even stricter. For us—who live by the motto “draw erotic manga anytime, anywhere in the world”—it’s a bit of a hassle.
Having to keep a carry-on-legal, max-size power bank visible at all times feels a little ridiculous. Still, safety comes first. Big thanks to a...

Hi, This is muchi.
Good news—the laptop I use for manga production came back from repair sooner than expected. Thanks to the warranty, the whole thing was fast and free. If only my body could be “serviced” that easily too—but of course it can’t, and sometimes things are beyond repair, so I have to take care of myself.
Speaking of which, we did our annual comp...

Hi, This is muchi.
It finally feels like autumn has reached Japan. Cool mornings and nights are heaven. I’d forgotten how nice it is to walk around without breaking a sweat.
In the peak of summer, I can’t tell you how many times I thought, “Screw it—I’ll just walk around buck naked!”🍌🍆
Maybe that feeling is stronger because I just got ba...

Hi, This is muchi.
I’m in Thailand right now—training every morning, brainstorming erotic manga during the day, and going to bed at 10 p.m.
Same as always!
I’ve always believed my usual routine is best, so I try not to deviate from it; my style of travel is to stick to the basics and just enjoy a bit of scenery and food. That said, I must be excited—my Apple Wat...

Hi, This is muchi.
It turns out the very plain area where I was born and raised has been getting some attention across Japan lately.
One reason is that it ended up becoming the town that recorded the highest temperature in the country.
The other—strictly speaking, this happened in the neighboring town—is that over 200 luxury cars parked in an undergrou...

Hi, This is muchi.
Autumn is deepening—well, not in terms of temperature, but you know what I mean—and I can really feel the harvest season settling in. The produce section at the supermarket looks like a jewelry box.
I keep overeating my favorite fruit, grapes.

Hi, This is muchi.
Over the past few days, the fatigue from my bodybuilding contest has been lifting, daily life is settling back in, and I feel calmer. It really drives home how easily our thoughts and senses can be swayed by what we eat.
Well, my dick was rock-hard even before the show, though! Gwahaha!
In Japan, the summer vacation rush has finally died down, and the city f...

Hi, This is muchi.
After my bodybuilding contest, I spent a few days up north in Abashiri.
Where I live, the temperature can top 40°C, but Abashiri didn’t even break 30°C—there were even days when I felt chilly in long sleeves, which made it perfect for letting my body recover.

Hi, This is muchi.
The bodybuilding contest is over, and I just barely managed to place.
I truly feel like my physique was the best it’s ever been—but it seems the growth of those around me was on another level.
Seriously, the level this year was insane! Completely incomparable to last year!😂
I’m grateful to be able to compete in an environm...

Hi, This is muchi.
As I’m writing this, Comiket is in full swing.
Many of my friends are attending, and although the system and the atmosphere of the event have changed a lot in recent years—and we haven’t participated for a while—the passion of the attendees is surely just as strong as ever.
The heat though… that’s gotten a bit too strong!

Hi, This is muchi.
Only two weeks left until my bodybuilding contest.
Thankfully, my cut is going smoothly, and I can say with confidence that this is the best shape I’ve ever been in.
In my manga, I draw heroines brimming with alluring curves and plenty of soft fat—yet here I am, stripping away every last bit of my own.
Maybe, in a way, it’s like offering myself ...

Hi, This is muchi.
Why did Japan become a manga superpower?
This is a question I’m still often asked today, especially by those outside the industry.
One answer I like to give is this: Japan has cultivated an environment where women can continue creating. In fact, when it comes to manga—and otaku culture more broadly—it’s undeniably women creators who hav...

Hi, This is muchi.
It can feel both flattering and a little bewildering when something that’s been familiar to you all your life is suddenly praised as something amazing.
The other day, I was surprised to see a long line of international tourists at a small local rice ball shop near my home. Come to think of it, I might’ve once recommended it as “the place to go if ...
