・Currently serialized: Vampire VS Garlic Gourmet 'Master smells like garlic!'
'Master's Garlic Smells!' started with a unique combination of a vampire, a maid, and a garlic gourmet. It depicts the struggle of a garlic-loving maid who plans to get her master, a vampire, to eat garlic.
Garlic dishes that have appeared so far include
In the next updated episode 5, 'Ramen', which can be said to be the pinnacle of rich garlic dishes, will be fully introduced. The amount of garlic can be adjusted freely, so vampires should be able to eat it as long as the garlic is removed, but...?

The steak that Lily brought as a souvenir should be delicious, but the ingredient that the maid Kaori took out is of course garlic. But it's not just garlic either... Please check it out because it is a work with such power that just reading any episode will make you think, 'Today's meal is decided by garlic dishes!'

・ New serialization information 1: Time, space and life ``End of infinite reincarnation''
A large-scale serialization project 'Ending the Infinite Reincarnation' is underway. Other than the title, it's still a mystery, but I got a key visual by the drawing staff. The characters lined up in the key visual look like a fantasy world, with devil-like horns, knight-like armor and swords, and a god-like atmosphere. And there are girls who are dressed like modern Japan. Since the production of the name is already underway, we will tell you little by little when the ban on information is lifted.
