Part two of Kina Kazuharu draws for MAL is go!

Like before, Kina will be collecting ideas from everyone for his next illustration, but this time will have a little spin on it — Kina will draw a few different rough sketches based on various ideas, and then everyone will vote on which illustration they want to see completed!

The final illustration will be made into a beautiful new About Me template design that everyone can use on their profiles.

Let’s help Kina make the best illustration ever!

How to take part

The event will be held via Kina’s MAL club. Idea submissions for the illustration and subsequent voting will all be carried out in the club, and you might even have a chance to chat with Kina!

Using the girl drawn from the previous round as the starting point, let’s expand her world and broaden her horizons.

For example:

• Themes utilizing the time period setting

  • Life in the Taisho Era
  • Her descendents in the present day
  • Time-leap to present day Akihabara

• Different scenes with the same character

  • The girl before she came to Japan
  • The first thing that happens to her after her arrival

• New characters related to the girl

  • A girl she meets in her new home
  • Her first friend in Japan
  • Her lover
  • A spy, assassin or pirate

Current setting
