Pictures of the apartment I rented out for manga work [yay, bad cellphone pictures]

Haha, crappy cell pictures for the win I guess? Meant to upload these days ago, but it slipped my mind. Yeah, one of my new assistants owns a cat, and I told her it'd be fine to keep it in the apartment while we work, looks like we have a mascot now. HAVING ASSISTANTS IS SOOOO MUCH FUN. We finished a lot in one day, and one assistant isn't attending work right now because he had to go deal with some business, so hopefully he'll be around next time. Both of them are a lot younger than I expected (They're only in their 20's, don't know about the third one), and we talk a lot while we work. They were really surprised when they saw how young I was haha. So yeah, I decided to buy a couple more Macs (since I find them better for graphic design, and the assistants told me they preferred them) to place in the apartment; I used the money I had been saving up to buy my fandom merchandise (；ω；); it's for a better cause I suppose.

The cat laid down on my tablet, UNFORGIVABLE!


Diligently working (yay).


More diligence! I'll work all of you like dogs!


More diligen-... wait, STOP PLAYING WITH THE DARN CAT!


Didn't I say to stop?! I don't care if it's cute...


Stop playing with it already!!! Oh it's our lunch break.


Picture of the apartment after finishing up the second day of work; we got more furniture, woo for us.

Yeah, two others are dual monitors, but they're in another room, and I didn't take pictures the day we installed them.

I'm still wondering how you guys got it so cluttered xD

Manga is a dirty business. Most of it is just our own personal reference material or rough layouts.

Aghh,!
So many amazing computers.
And cats.
I wish i was a manga makerer.

There's one cat.

And it's artist, not 'makerer'

Yup one cat that likes to move about... and step on my tablet! Yup, manga artist, mangaka, that one manga dude, manga maker, doesn't matter either way to me. As long as that cat acknowledges that it shouldn't distract us during work... even if it's cute.

Haha, maybe on LG I'm King, but I admit to being an amateur in the world of manga. Three assistants is usually the norm.

I'm curious to know how your paying for all this?

I thought you were like 15 last year.

Well obviously I pay the assistants with the money I get for writing the manga. Money for the Macs came from what my aunt gives me a week for working in the onsen when I have time, and some of it actually came from the savings that went to me due to being able to attend Tokyo University on scholarship.

I was 15 last year. I'm 16 this year, and in 2010 I'll be 17.

It has had 1 issue. Thats not going to make a whole lot of money.
Besides Tsuna's probably spent a lot of it on fan merchandise. (and those $200 pillows)

So apparently in... Where you live, japan or something, you can own houses at 16? I wanna live in Japan or whereever you live..

Yeah, I'm living in Japan, Chiyoda specifically. And no, no, I rented the apartment FOR WORK, so that my assistants and I can have room trk freely; I'm not living in it. I'm still living at my aunt's onsen, but you can live alone at a fairly young age here, some of the high school girls living here at the onsen have parents who've been away since they were in middle school... though I guess they're not technically living alone since we're all living here at the onsen together.

Sounds sexy.
Make a pr0nz nao, and make sure there aren't any censors. D:<

I mean, * cough * sounds very intriguing.

I bought the pillows before my manga was ever released... I didn't even get to buy fan merchandise with my manga money. >W<

Something tells me you and diligen? are gonna be pretty good "buddies" ;]

Nope, we're not going to be "buddies" in sort of the way you're thinking. I hope you know her name isn't diligen... I was using the word "diligence" to describe how BOTH of my assistants were working. =A=
