ALTERNATIVE[SELF LINER NOTE]

by Chiaki Yagura

“The good die young.”  There’s a whole movement of entertainers who by 27 years old had left their mark on the world, including my God. At 28, what have I done? Am I worthy to stand on the same stage? Why does my gospel stay unwritten?

Originally released at COMITIA 130 in 2019,  ALTERNATIVE[SELF LINER NOTE] is a story about music, creative slumps, and letting it all out. Chiaki Yagura’s beautiful artwork and homage to the music medium will leave readers craving more from this rising talent.
