We're past due for a new Azuma tweets thread.
The last one stopped bumping, and I've fallen behind on translating Azuma's tweets since he went quiet for such a long time.

>>2749Sorry, I'm way behind on this and still haven't made an attempt to catch up on Azuma's tweets yet.
I'm downloading the latest IM right now, and hopefully I can translate it this weekend or this week.
I'm trying to further my Japanese ability by taking a class at the local college, but the homework has really taken up all my free time in the evenings. This week is spring break though, so I should have a little more time.

My Nendoroid Yotsuba arrived. Playing with it now. The release is still a ways off, and I was going to mention this once it got closer, but since figures are usually produced based on pre-orders, you'll probably have a hard time getting one if you don't pre-order, so it sounds like anyone who wants one had better pre-order. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07MV5DKH3/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_wLovCb86CS97J9:57 AM Feb 2

Nendoroid Yotsuba. Underneath her is the manuscript I'm currently working on. I'm aiming to have volume 15 out by the end of the year.https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07MV5DKH3/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_lyrvCbEMCDKJ11:06 PM Feb 2

Nendoroid Yotsuba. Next to the mini car I keep on my desk for reference. https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B07MV5DKH3/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_G.zvCbDMB2Z3110:49 PM Feb 2
"Mini car" might mean toy car or it might mean micro car, and since it's technically both, I left it as is.

The Nendoroid Yotsuba I got is a rare and precious sample, so I took it home with me. I suspect there will be some adorning the Good Smile booth at Wonderfest on the 10th, so if you go, try to see if you can catch a glimpse. I'm also doing the banner art for Wonderfest.3:05 PM Feb 4

Just a minute ago, all the writing implements on my desk, like the pen I was using, got taken away to be used in the exhibition coming up in April.

The Yotsuba& Manuscript Exhibit starts at the Ikebukuro PARCO today. Stop by if you get a chance. There are original manuscripts on display, plus they just tried taking the first video of me drawing the other day, so that's supposed to be playing on the monitors.https://art.parco.jp/parcomuseum/detail/?id=17912:17 PM Apr 5

To commemorate the opening of the Yotsuba& Manuscript Exhibit I'm going to try posting a small selection of some old research photos on my utterly abandoned Instagram.It's perfect timing, because there's a balloon festival in Watarase this weekend.https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv33JZ6BHti/?utm_source=ig_share_sheet&igshid=1bgtfsdhiitkz 8:57 PM Apr 5

Yotsuba&! Latest Manuscript Exhibit
The exhibit-hall exclusive souvenir Danbos that come with a ticket purchase have run out due to popularity.
There are plans to restock before the exhibit closes. It will be announced on the PARCO Art homepage and Twitter when new stock arrives.

Kind of a somber note to end on, but that's the last of Azuma's tweets for now.

@azumakiyohiko
In honor of The Yotsuba& Manuscript Exhibit now going on in Nagoya, here's a story about manuscripts. If you're wondering how the manuscripts differ from the final paperback compilations, the first thing is that they're huge. Like, unnecessarily huge. In the case of Yotsuba&! the total page area is about 3.3 times larger for the manuscripts. https://art.parco.jp/nagoya/detail/?id=2529:50 PM Aug 24

@azumakiyohiko
In honor of The Yotsuba& Manuscript Exhibit in Nagoya, here's something else about manuscripts. In Yotsuba&!, every page has been trimmed, but the artwork goes right up to the edges. That means I have to actually draw a little past those lines in the manuscripts. It's a pain. https://art.parco.jp/nagoya/detail/?id=25220:27 AM Aug 25
0b3ad2b5 No.3052
>>3051Wow! Look at the handwritten speech bubbles.
fa11f894 No.3053
so why do they have to crop out so much art?
a530e895 No.3054
>>3053 When they print a physical book or magazine, they trim them to size after they're glued or stapled.
But there's always slight movement not only with the cutting, but also with the actual printing. So the inner border is the safe zone where all your words and closed panels should be.
The outer border is the maximum variance for the trimming. If you want your art to extend right to the edge of the page, you should draw up to or beyond this line in what's called the "bleed".
Here's an example-
and a site explaining it all-
https://www.clipstudio.net/en/howto/manga_02 c89ae774 No.3055
But those cannot be manuscripts?
I mean, shouldn't backgrounds, foreground figures, and text bubbles be drawn separately?
eea3b7fd No.3056
>>3055The manuscript is the final version ready for print except the publisher will replace the mangaka's text on a computer with the print font.
In the Name (rough draft stage) you plan out everything including speech bubbles and then once it's approved by the editor you work on a final version.
c89ae774 No.3058
I just know that it in the tankobon versions some backgrounds are replaced with more elaborate ones, so I thought that they are kept separately.
58c5eff9 No.3059
Yeah I don't know. Kiyohiko revises his art a lot, he added 8 pages to chapter 72 after it was in Dengeki Daioh and revised the hell out of his Azumanga art for the new editions.

I'm also the person who used to buy Dengeki Daioh every month just in case it didn't pop up on Share. I scanned a few things for here and the old board. I have a big Yotsubato collection and I did the type setting and image editing for your translation for this Ichigo M. chapter (I think you were in Japan or on vacation?)
