Kohske’s Pixiv Fanbox

Following several suggestions from fans over the past few weeks, Kohske has now opened a personal Pixiv Fanbox! Fanboxes work similarly to Patreon, allowing fans to offer pledges to creators through an automated monthly subscription system (see here for Pixiv’s introduction to the program). Kohske has set up the following six-tier pledge system, noting that any locked content she posts will be available to her patrons equally regardless of which tier is chosen:

300 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

500 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

1,000 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

3,000 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

5,000 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

10,000 yen / mo. (USD / AUD / CAD / EUR / GBP)

Fanbox subscriptions can be made internationally via credit card or Paypal and can be cancelled at any time. All you need is an active Pixiv account to begin and Pixiv provides an FAQ in English if needed along the way. The hard URL to Kohske’s Fanbox is: https://www.pixiv.net/fanbox/creator/35519806

Pledges Kohske receives from her fans will be put towards buying work-related materials for her and her assistants, help keep Haru & Shizu happy and fed, and, though she didn’t mention this officially, hopefully relieve some of the stress from her oncoming medical bills.

Although no GANGSTA. content will be posted to the Fanbox, Kohske is likely to begin offering exclusive personal content to patrons (such as her older works, news bits, and behind-the-scenes peeks) within the upcoming months and as her health permits from there.

Pledging is entirely optional, of course, but this is a perfect opportunity for fans to help support Kohske and the continuation of GANGSTA. directly.

If you weren’t sure about supporting Kohske’s Fanbox on Pixiv, perhaps you’ll be tempted now she’s posted her first entry on the Patreon-style system! Check out the link above and consider donating to Kohske on a monthly basis to gain access to her interesting reflections on past characters/designs as well as old and otherwise exclusive art (unrelated to GANGSTA.) ^^

FYG Remains Closed

I hope all of you GANGSTA. fans are taking care during this difficult time. This is just a quick note to let you all know that at this stage, we will not be continuing with FYG though we do still remain firm fans of the series and its creator.

Why will we not continue with this blog?

Kohske has asked very clearly that people do not reupload her work without her explicit permission. Kiel and myself both feel that continuing to mirror her updates and art posts here on Tumblr would breach her wishes, something that we personally do not feel comfortable doing.

If you want to keep up-to-date with what Kohske, simply visit her official Japanese channels below:

Twitter: Kohske posts regularly here about her health, her birds, and her addiction to FGO. If you want to see the art she has been working on, this is the place to visit.

Pixiv Fanbox: Support Kohske with a monthly donation (like Patreon) and get access to images and explanations of her pre-GANGSTA. work.

Booth: Kohske sells her work directly via the Pixiv Booth service (kind of like RedBubble or TeePublic). She has a variety of java finch-themed designs available on merchandise. Utilise a proxy service when buying internationally.

Homepage: Kohske’s official website. Not regularly updated, but a good resource for those interested in her work.

Please do not write to Kohske in English on social media. She is not fluent in any language other than Japanese and cannot respond in a manner in which she is comfortable.

Kohske does not know if the anime is getting a second season (mangaka have no control over this) nor does she know about your local, non-Japanese releases. Please be polite and respectful of her as she tries her best to communicate all important notices to international, as well as local fans.

You can also visit the Comic Bunch homepage to see what’s in the latest issue of the magazine (there’s a lot of great non-GANGSTA. titles running) and the site also offers Japanese chapters online here.

Thank you for understanding our stance and may you all continue to remain safe during 2020. <3 Remember to pick up licensed copies of the GANGSTA. manga and anime in your region and support Kohske if you can!

Benriya (mostly) wishes everyone a happy new year!

FYG = Ongoing Hiatus

There is no easy way to say this, but Kiel and I will no longer be updating FYG on a regular basis. 

I first started this Tumblr 7 years ago after LJ went downhill, with Kiel joining me to help out not long after. Together we’ve tried hard to keep the English-language community informed about GANGSTA. releases and Kohske’s work in general. Unfortunately, as time has gone on, we’ve both found our lives changing and neither of us has the time to update like we used to. 

We still love Kohske and we’re not necessarily gone forever (we might get more free time down the track). However, for now, we’ve decided to step back and focus on the important aspects of our daily lives that need our attention.

Thank you all for being fans of Kohske and her work. We hope you will continue to support her in the future by purchasing the manga volumes in your preferred language (and if you haven’t yet, throw a few bucks her way on Pixiv Fanbox every month).

<3 Shiori and Kiel

(PS: We will continue to try and keep links valid for official releases you can purchase, as well as for downloads we’ve added over the years. We will also preserve everything on here already as-is so you can reblog and save older pics to your heart’s content. We will not delete this blog as our living and working situations may change and if it ever becomes possible, we’d like to update again someday. ^^)
