The biggest news I have to share is that the wait for the Fuuko x Hanae mature readers mini-comic is almost over. You may now pre-order a copy in the merchandise shop. This book will not be for everyone, especially not for those under the age of eighteen. There is a purchase agreement in place. Please keep things honest!

The Penguin and Bacon IV shirts have arrived and they look FANTASTIC! All orders have been shipped out. I have plenty more shirts in stock if you wish to order one.

Also, I have had a lot of people asking about the Timeline section and I am happy to announce that it is back up on the site. You can check it out in the About section. Time flows differently for the characters in Red String and this handy timeline will help you follow the events in the story.

With Valentine’s Day and White Day coming up it seems like the perfect time to hold a fan art contest! There are awesome prizes to be won, including an original comic page of your choice from Red String chapters 1-20, posters, and more! Check out the Contest page for more information on the theme, official rules, and how to enter.

Red String is on the nomination list! Holy Crap! I am shocked and honored that this comic would make it onto the nomination list next to all those other wonderful comics.

Excerpt: “Your nominations are in, and what we have on our hands is a catch-22. That’s because no matter which way we slice this list, we’re still stuck with a whopping 22 webcomics that are vying mightily to be crowned Best Webcomic of the Past Decade.

Now, we’ve got the Big Ballot — and it’s time to vote for your faves as we all narrow this down to a handful of finalists. Balloting will close midnight Wednesday. (And if not all these strips fit your definition of a “webcomic,” feel free to sound off on that interminable kerfuffle, too — some obviously have seen the light of print at times.)”

I hope you all will take a moment to go over to the site and cast your vote for your favorite webcomic. It might not be Red String, but if it is that’s awesome. Either way, be sure to vote!
