|TJL Chapter 24=I'm currently working on a [[TSKR Episode 12|brand-new Rohan chapter]]. Expect it to be 51 pages.
|TJL Chapter 23=I went out for Italian with [[Tetsuo Hara]]. We shared a spaghetti with tomato sauce. It was a good time!
|TJL Chapter 22=Happy New Year. In the horror movies ''{{W|Smile (2022 film)|Smile}}'' and ''{{W|The First Omen}}'',{{Ref-Note|''The First Omen'' is titled {{Nihongo|''Omen: The First''|オーメン：ザ・ファースト}} in Japan.}} there's a woman who dies laughing. I think it might be the same actress. Or maybe I'm wrong?
|TJL Chapter 21=I know I'm a little late to the party, but I'm currently obsessed with {{W|Sabrina Carpenter}}. What an icon!
|TJL Chapter 20=I visited Nikko Toshogu Shrine after watching ''{{W|Shōgun (2024 TV series)|Shogun}}''. The scenery was simply breathtaking with all the autumn leaves.
|TJL Chapter 19=Something I've been thinking about lately. What's the deal with these sushi restaurants that serve the sushi directly onto your hand? It feels a little intense.
|TJL Chapter 18=I wanted a wide-brim hat to deal with the heat, so I ended up buying one that looks like a {{W|boonie hat}}. It doesn't suit me at all.
|TJL Chapter 17=Whenever I pre-order a CD or something online, I often end up receiving two copies by mistake. I try to be careful, so what the heck is going on?
|TJL Chapter 16=It wasn't on my radar at all, but I ended up enjoying ''{{W|The Lost King}}''.{{Ref-Note|''The Lost King'' is titled {{Nihongo|''The Lost King: A 500-Year-Old Destiny''|ロスト・キング 500年越しの運命}} in Japan.}} I love that kind of movie.
|TJL Chapter 15=I went out to eat with [[Tetsuo Hara]], the illustrator of ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''. I think we're pretty close friends. Haha.
|TJL Chapter 14=I went on a pilgrimage trip to the {{W|Ise Shrine}}. It feels nice during spring.
|TJL Chapter 13=Last year I got hit with {{W|hay fever}} for the first time, but this year it feels completely different. Maybe I'm not allergic to pollen after all?
|TJL Chapter 12=I went to {{W|Osaka}}. recently. Don't get me wrong, Tokyo's is good too, but there's just something different about Osaka's {{W|udon}}. It's ''really'' good.
|TJL Chapter 11=Happy new year, everyone! I wish you all good health and happiness. Thank you for your continued support this year.
|TJL Chapter 10=I went on a trip to {{W|Osaka}} and {{W|Kyoto}}. I came across a book that used the sound {{Nihongo|"totsutotsutotsu"|咄々々}}. It seems to be similar to the {{Nihongo|"gogogo"|ゴゴゴ}} [[List of JoJo Sound Effects|sound effect]].

|TJL Chapter 8=I stayed at the Hayama Kachi-Tei hotel, the [[Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan (TV Drama)|live-action]] [[Rohan Kishibe|Rohan]]'s house. I didn't draw manga while I was there, but they said I could cook, so I did.
|TJL Chapter 7=The heat's been so awful this year, it feels like it's trying to take me out. I barely have any means to defend myself from it. I even tried running into the woods, but it was full of wasps.
|TJL Chapter 6=I whipped myself up some Chicken Parmesan. It tasted amazing after I squeezed a lemon on it.
|TJL Chapter 5=You know plastic wrap? The type that comes in those boxes? Do not, under any circumstances, let the plastic fall off the blade and slip back into the box. At that point, it's all over. It's basically the end of the world.
|TJL Chapter 4=To think a [[Rohan au Louvre|work]] I drew as a [[The Louvre Invites the Comics|French ''bande dessinée'']] would be made into a [[Rohan au Louvre (Film)|movie]]. Wow.
|TJL Chapter 3=I was able to do some cherry blossom viewing this year. The bright, happy atmosphere is nice.
|TJL Chapter 2=I haven't been near any pollen, but {{W|hay fever}}'s hit me for the first time regardless this year. It's pretty bad.
