Kio Shimoku Twitter Highlights January 2024

Tweets for a new year, including the announcement of a planned set of Genshiken LINE stickers!

An Ohno from Genshiken drawing for 2024, the Year of the Dragon.

A Genshiken drawing used for the cover of a 2014 issue of Monthly Afternoon.

Kio considers making Genshiken LINE stickers, and then decides to do some investigating.

Kio discovers late that there was a Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei talk event and exhibition featuring the anime’s voice actors as well as the author Kumeta Kouji. Tsuchiyan, a person involved with Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei’s manuscripts replies to Kio and thanks him. Apparently they’ve met before, back when stuff was original airing.

Kio started wearing a haramaki, a stomach band for keeping warm. People in the replies love Sue.

Kio enjoys a Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei afternoon movie, and plans to watch the evening one as well. (I think this has to do with the SZS exhibit mentioned above?)

A person who is staff for anime radio shows realizes Kio follows her, and gets excited. They’re a big fan of Genshiken. Kio replies that he followed her on Twitter to make sure he doesn’t miss another event like the SZS stuff. 

Kio’s ideas for most of the Genshiken LINE stickers, with him asking for suggestions. I asked him if he was planning on having them available internationally, but he said he didn’t even know that was possible.

The final line-up for the LINE stickers. Many famous Genshiken quotes are in there.

Kio drew the belly band art for Volume 2 of the manga Oshibana. He’s a fan and retweets the author Shima Tokio’s work quite often. Shima thanks Kio, and Kio mentions really liking the main heroine and wanting to draw her.

Kio was smiling all the way while looking at Daydream Hour, the Delicious in Dungeon artbook.

A short comic about building the model kit for Our Treasure’s Magna Palace from The Five Star Stories. Kio also has the comic up on Pixiv.

Wishing Shima Tokio a happy birthday.

Kio saw the live-action Golden Kamuy movie. The bear was properly scary.

Kio read the final chapter of Kuma Miko, and feels a sense of release.

LINE sticker roughs. Kio never thought he’d be drawing Haraguchi in the Reiwa era.

Someone pleads with Kio to get all of Genshiken animated, but Kio mentions that as much as he’d like that, it’s not up to him but anime producers.

Kio got the new Panpanya manga collection, titled Yuriika. He wasn’t able to read the comics in it when they were first being published, but he still take his time and get through them now.
