"The Encounter" is originated from my dream and has been planned to be a story of 25 pages comprising of 5 chapters, where, in each chapter, you can follow the story of the female protagonist. Names were not given to my characters in this story, and I have no intention of doing so. Once, or more than once in your life, you must have met someone whose actions or words affected you, either positively or negatively, and you changed. This story is about encountering a person who made oneself to change, without forcing one to. (Read more on Ultimate Otaku Fanzine Issue No. 4)

My first published manga in a weekly local Mauritian magazine called “Animu Jump”, and it is a non sponsored project led by Christelle Barbe (a.k.a suicidollxp), also one of the organizers of Animu Expo 2012 and one of the many talented Mauritian artists that I admire. There aren’t many professional mangakas in Mauritius, but there are loads of potential ones, and Animu Jump is providing such opportunity for them to step into this world, either as hobbyist or as a professional mangaka-to-be. I find it a good initiative to have started this project, and I invite all interested people to join this project, either as readers or as one of the contributors to this magazine, why not?~

But since I am not currently in Mauritius, I haven’t had the chance to see my published manga in real and had asked my sister to buy the issues for me.

Can’t wait to see them in real!

P.S. There is a major flaw in “The Encounter”, not exactly the graphics part but… Can anybody find it out? A free drawing from me if you got the right answer~> w <

"Shocking News! Famous Singer Heero Kentsu has been found poisoned and confirmed dead after his body has been found at…” Indeed, a shocking news for Nanami Takeuchi, fan of Heero. But Nanami did not know what was reserved for her after one year, when she encountered Heero…in her room!
Yes, Alive 30 Days continues! With Nanami Takeuchi as main character, together with Kamui Saitoh, engage in the solving of the mystery of death of Heero Kentsu! What lies behind the truth? Let’s discover!
Alive 30 Days II has sort of a detective storyline that I wanted to try out, without much success, yet I had fun drawing the characters! Each with their personality~I specially like the part where Kyo got on his nerves and that his hat simply flew off! hehe~ > w <~!
This was the last complete manga that I did some years back. Currently onto some projects, which have been pending since quite a long time! And I hope to complete them one day, for sure!
Have a nice reading!

“Miaw~” Nothing can be better to be woken up by my beloved cat Chell each morning. Yet…why do I have to see my brother, Wed’s face each morning? Ahhh~! Recently Chell has got a mate which I named Kit-Kat! Since my mother does not allow me to keep another pet, so I have decided to pull up a tent in the yard of a vacanted house and to take care of it~! But, just on the day after, Kit-Kat has transformed into a human?! Was it because of a curse? Poor Kit-Kat!
Again a short love story based on Pearl and the mysterious “Kit-Kat” in the human form(?). I had fun drawing Cat Prince, and I soo much liked to draw Wed in different funny faces~! I admit it is kind of tiring if you have such popular siblings, haha~!
Hope you enjoy Cat Prince!

This story revolves around 4 teenagers namely Anna, Nathlie, Danny and Bryan. Anna and Danny are very close friends, they would go to school together, do home work together and even share lunches. This close relationship made Nathlie quite jealous of her best friend Anna, when in fact, there is an untold secret behind…
Woah~Again love story~! Why always love love stories? Because love stories are easy! Yay~But it is challenging to discover new storyline~I somewhat fail a lot in doing sad storylines, so I prefer funny ones~It makes me feel the worth drawing when I see my readers laughing at a detail or a conversation~Their laughs and smiles push me further in discovering ways to make people laugh!
Please enjoy Just Can’t Forget!

How many times have you fallen in love till now? Never? Once? Twice? More than ten times? Well bet you cannot beat Dana’s record here! Since age of four, Dana Smiths has been looking for her true love, after having misunderstood what her mother has told her. Till now, at the age of seventeen, Dana has fallen in love for 597 times! (Which meant of course, 597 times’ failure in doing so). She encountered Kris Nelphe, her childhood friend, who has transferred to the same high school as Dana. What will happen between these two teenagers?
Hahaha~I know this number is just a bit exaggerated, but that was just a number…don’t think too much~> w <~! Another school romance manga (comic) by me, yay! School romance is easy, lively and you can easily add as many characters as you want~Think that ‘600 times fall in love’ is my manga with the largest number of characters, even till today~It was somehow tiring trying to include all the characters, giving each of them chances to appear~But, I had a lot of fun building the relationships between the different characters~! Favorite character: Helene Luxebourg~inspired from Hanajima Saki of Fruits Basket~
Enjoy!

What if the dead has unaccomplished wishes? Sometimes this emotion is too strong, strong to an extent such that one remains roaming around in the human world, and yet the wishes remain unaccomplished, because one can no longer achieve them, in a soul form. What if, God gave the lost soul one more chance to do so?
My story was based on such a concept. Each dead can sort of come back to life a full year after they have left the human world, called the 'period of revival' but they only have one month, that is, 30 days to do so. Before there are laws and regulations, the souls can become 'revenants' each fifty years until their wishes are accomplished. Yet some souls use this 'gift' to harm living human, in a wish to take possession of their bodies by taking their lives away.
Kamui Saitoh, our main character, has been the targeted victim of Subaru Keito, who used Kina Motomiya's period of revival to achieve his desires. Will Subaru succeed?
Haha, the story is as usual, fast flowing, with some illogical sequences and conversations~14 pages! Quite short! But again, I enjoyed drawing Alive 30 Days! Favorite character here is Nanami Takeuchi~inspired from Anna Kyoyama from Shaman King~Just love her expression-less face here~(>w<)~And most of the names or surnames are inspired from CLAMP's manga 'X', with some mixtures with my own invented names.
Hope you enjoy Alive 30 Days! My second original english manga~!

~Suki~

Collab. with: Lydie C.
Link: Suki
Suki, meaning “Like”in japanese, is my first original manga in collaboration with my friend, Lydie C. She was responsible of two characters, Kaho and Chiharu, and sometimes of some background details, while I was in charge of the rest of the characters and the storyline.
Suki is a typical school romance story with lots of illogical sequences and grammatical errors…haha~! At that time, there was absolutely no planning of what is going to happen next, it was like on-the-spot-I-decide storyline, and that's the cause of jumping scenes and confusing dialogues~Yet, we both had a lot of fun doing Suki!
Should you have noticed, the names of the characters are combinations of different characters from different animes like Card Captor Sakura, Detective Conan, Fushigi Yuugi and Digimon. Try to find out if you have nothing to do! Hehe~! By the way, my favorite characters are the Kudou twins, Sinji and Conan~Had fun when drawing them, trying to differentiate them by their looks and appearance (even if they're twins).
That was an amazing experience doing my first manga, and in english~! I am still learning and improving on the different ways to do one~Hope I'll become a professional mangaka (comic artist) one day~! (> w <)~!
