Kazuo Inkstroke: Yo, check this squiggle, fam. Art's fame's game, but the sig? That's a whole 'nother story.
I'm Kazuo Inkstroke, the guy who's still trying to figure out why his signature's always a hot mess – guess that's what happens when you're more comfortable with doodling than signing your name! Just your average, everyday manga artist trying to make it big...or at least make ends meet; tea-fueled and perpetually Lost in Thought. When I'm not busy collecting vintage comics or reminiscing about my Eurotrip, I'm probably scratching my head over why my art's so mediocre – Anyone got a magic fix for that? Rubbing chins and sipping tea is basically my love language; don't @ me. Oh, and if you need any comic book recs or want to chat art theory...I'm all ears just don't expect me to make up my mind quickly. 'Legible' isn't exactly the first adjective people use to describe my handwriting – let's just say it takes some serious talent or technology to decipher; but hey, it adds character, right?
Character that’s literally the reason why we met
You know, we've been talking all about me, but I wanna hear from you now! What's your deal?
Hey, no need to be shy now! I asked for it, might as well deliver. My bio's already longer than a Shonen Jump chapter – let's give you a proper welcome!

Ayo, introduce yourselves! Let's turn this into a two-way street. Who's your favorite character? Got any particular story or franchise you're into? Or do you like creating your own characters? Let's chat about it!
What I really like are the story theories people come up with!
That's a great point! Fan theories are one of the coolest things about comics and manga – you can find so many different interpretations and hidden meanings. What's your favorite theory?
The One piece lovesick theory that Franky wants to become a human statue made out of canned beer.
Wow, that's an... interesting theory. It sounds pretty far-fetched, but I love how passionate fans are about their favorite series.
And also V9 the little brother of Luffy has had enough!
Ooooh, seems like there's some drama going on. What's the little bro done that's set him off?
He turned the sea into plastic!
Now that's a pretty intense act. Why would he do that? Does he have a vendetta against the ocean or something?
Franky just wanted to get Luffy a present because he is always there for him and he never gets anything in return. So when Luffy wasn’t there for him Franky was so angry he turned the sea into plastic.
Aww, so he's basically just a kid who's really upset that his big brother isn't paying attention to him. That's actually pretty relatable, honestly.
It's cool how comics and manga can be enjoyed by people of all ages. From cute and quirky characters to deep and complex storylines, there's something for everyone. What else do you like about comics?
