Weekly report Mar-2, 2024

Hello, everyone! Thank you as always for your support!
Now, let's take a look at this week's progress.

＃Sprite Work

I progressed with the speaker for Zudrada's Super Move. I refined the design to a more concrete stage, but only reached the rough stage this week.

We plan to make the screen effects a bit more luxurious!

＃Next week plan

• sprite work
• vfx work
• comic work

＃Other Topic: Tax Filing

Although motorcycle training has just ended, I had to prioritize tax filing as it must be completed by March 15th. Given the considerable expenses incurred from participating in Comic Market, I organized receipts for the first time. Additionally, I had to report the sales and inventory of the books produced using the inventory method. While I managed to complete everything, I'm unsure if it's done correctly. There's a possibility that officials from the National Tax Agency may visit my home at a later date.

Furthermore, I took this opportunity to complete various tasks related to municipal offices, such as paying residential taxes, renewing my resident card, and handling pension procedures. Money and time seem to vanish in the blink of an eye!😨

＃Other Topic: Motorcycle

While the training has concluded, to officially ride a bike, I had to visit a licensing center to have my license updated. However, these facilities are scarce and located far away, so the process of traveling and updating took up an entire day. Due to the bike being delivered a week earlier than expected, I had to hastily pick it up. I promptly arranged for additional voluntary insurance for the bike and opted for theft insurance as the type of bike I purchased is prone to theft. Unable to fetch the bike on my bicycle, I hitched a ride with an acquaintance's car to the bike shop. I nervously drove the purchased bike from the store to my home as I hadn't ridden on public roads during training. However, riding the bike is immensely enjoyable! Having only had a bicycle for transportation previously, I'm looking forward to touring various places.

＃Other Topic: Passing of Akira Toriyama Sensei

This week, Akira Toriyama Sensei, the renowned creator of Dragon Ball, passed away. His death came as a tremendous shock as I greatly admired him. I own several of his art collections and manga. His art excelled in spatial perception, expressing captivating compositions and designs with minimal lines. He wasn't bedridden due to illness; his body should have been healthy, and he likely planned to expand the Dragon Ball series further. While he may have had many unfinished projects, it's a relief to know that he didn't suffer from illness. I also want to focus on the production of Hellversus, being mindful of time.

That's all for this week. Thanks to everyone's support, we can continue development! Much appreciation. 

Have a great weekend!
