Mikesaka Tamaki runs an art class in Japan. Through this slice of life manga, you'll get a peek into my daily life. By reading, you'll discover some of the drawing techniques I teach my students and catch a glimpse of life in Japan.
If you'd like to spend more time with this story, the full collection (with bonus pages) is on Amazon Kindle.
hey, Mikesaka I have two questions and sorry if their dumb I just wanted to know how exactly is your name pronounced? I've been reading it as (Mika-saki) because I'm dumb, I know its probably (mikae-saka) or something but my brain just doesn't know, but the other question was if I were to make art of you/your character, where should I post it or like, how can I how it to you? also really sorry for the paragraph
@tamakimikesaka: well I don't use that many social media apps, I can get one though. Well I guess I use YouTube but I searched you on there and nothing showed up so uh, yeah. (sorry for my really bad grammar)
@tamakimikesaka: hey so I know I said I would draw your character a whole month ago but I didn't have time to finish it because I was failing a class so I had to focus on that but the drawing is done now so I can post it on X cause I made an account so uh, yeah, (sorry for my bad grammer)
@tamakimikesaka: Hey Tamaki, fyi I'm NeonKitty1236, that account is on my school computer so i made a new one that isn't, but I just wanted to let you know that my X account is called ""Neon_Kitty157" and the username is smth like "Cynessa_MD" don't mind me naming most my accounts Neon_Kitty smth it's been a username I've used for years, but uh yeah just wanted to let you know what my X account was, sorry for writing a whole paragraph

Hi! Thanks for asking!
“Mikesaka” is pronounced Mee-keh-sah-kah.
It’s actually not my real name, it’s a pen name.
In Japan, Tamaki is a real first name,
but Mikesaka isn’t a real family name. I basically made it up.
So don’t worry, you’re not dumb at all!
I just chose a pen name that’s a little tricky to pronounce.
You can call me Tamaki if you like!
And hearing that you want to draw fan art of my character makes me really happy too.
I’d love to see it!
I have accounts on several social media platforms,
so you can probably find me if you search for Tamaki Mikesaka.
Do you use any social media?

I see.
I actually don’t post videos on YouTube.
I mostly use X, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky.

Yeah, I remenber you.
I imagine you were a student working really hard to get good grades in your classes.
I'm happy to hear you finished everything.
And you even made fan art of my comic and created an account on X.
If you search "Tamaki-Mikesaka comics",
you should be able to find my account.

@Wh1t3-L1ly-C00k13: I finally found your X account!
I saw your fan art too, it's amazing.
Sorry I didn’t check it sooner even though you posted it a week ago.
I didn’t really have time to be online this past week.
Looking forward to staying in touch!
