ohh this was gorgeous. finally got around to reading it and was blown away, man.
たまごの心 is such a unique idea, paired with 天国のたまご ? heart of egg, heavenly egg... not sure why but that part especially struck me... the use of japanese words here somehow makes it feel more soulful in a way that it wouldn't if it was solely in EN or solely in JP. the mixing of the two languages feels really nice and natural in a sense, in terms of the poem itself. basically i'm saying the use of the idea of an egg in relation to humans is excellently done. the phrase "infinite black hole" stands in stark contrast to the previously mentioned adjective 天国 and man. that page especially just got to me in a way i can't describe.
do I know you from Online? (mastodon?) how did you find out about this little zine? :0 I'm always surprised when ppl mention they bookmarked my work for later or smth.
I'm so glad you could see the nuance in the JP/EN, it is always a humbling treat for me to have people recognize it.
EDIT: oh! I see you tried to read it earlier, I'm glad you finally could.
oh, i just happened to find your page while scrolling around on itch! i actually am not on mastodon- my only social platforms at this point in time are youtube and instagram!
loving your work thus far, even though i've only read a couple of your zines. i hope to read more whenever i get the time! i'm curious, what do you use to make these? as in, how do you make them interactive and host them online?
I had the same problem initially but fixed it by zooming way out on the window. Try viewing it at 30% - that allowed me to see the navigation buttons on the bottom of the page.
ah, sorry, I just enabled scrollbars!! it is hosted on https://temporal.ju.mp so i used to check it there without double checking here, try it again (I tried mobile just now and it worked)

It may just be me, but I can't seem to figure out how to scroll through and read the comic? Perhaps my laptop screen is too small...
