The English edition of Kinbae will be published!
This is a story about a high-class courtesan in 19th-century France, inspired by Nana by Émile Zola.
Remember when I said we had a very special doujinshi to celebrate Battan's appearance at TCAF? Here it is, in all its glory! And you can get a copy even if you can't come all the way to Toronto and celebrate comics with us in person!!
Famous Cool Toronto Book Store @thebeguiling.bsky.social grabbed a few of my comics today, so Toronto folks, if you missed TCAF you can find my stuff there!! 🌟
big ups to The Beguiling for getting funding for a translation of a new @battan8.bsky.social doujin up before I even knew the doujin existed in Japanese!
ばったん
Debuting at TCAF this weekend is something all the shoujosei fans have been asking for for years! Mars, rereleased!
Working together with @kodanshamanga for an early release (just for us), the 30th anniversary edition comes in a beautiful shiny red hardcover.
Shoutout to @thebeguiling.bsky.social for being a sponsor and partner for @torontocomics.bsky.social!
Here they are selling at Libraries and Education Day!

It's really real! Look at my Belle Époque of a translation baby!!
(It's also my entire TCAF haul bc I was so busy interpreting, I had zero time to go around and fangirl over comics.)
The shipment of “The Golden Fly” by MINT Manga creator Battan arrived *just in time* at @thebeguiling.bsky.social today for #tcaf2026! Peter is sooo relieved!
Still time to support the Kickstarter to get your copy! www.kickstarter.com/projects/beg...
