Hiya and thanks for looking at the site, I'm Ken but most friends just call me Cin.

Well I've been in to anime and Manga for a while now and started back in the late 80's with cartoons like Cities of gold or Laputa which still hold a certain nostalgia for me. The first series I ever seriously got into was Ranma ½ and guess it grew from there. I've seen far too many series for what is deemed to be a healthy amount of anime but of the ones I do remember I have to say Maison Ikkoku and Eyeshield 21 rank as my favorite Manga. Anime wise I think I'm a big fan of Naruto, One Piece, Hikaru no Go, Initial D, Gundam Seed and most things Shonen but my fav series to date is AzuManga Daioh.

I'd just like to point out for anyone who knows me that I don't 'like' things, I normally obsess over them. I have a weird habit where I ether loves something to pieces or just plain ignore it and guess I deal with a lot of things this way. The advantage of that is I try hard and stay dedicated to whatever I like, the disadvantage being I'm very stubborn about things and not likely to change my mind once it's made up.

I guess my other passion is video games, for a person who learned how to spell 'Sonic' before learning the 9 times tables you can guess that it's been a big influence on my life. I've been a big fan of RPGs and MMORPGs like Final Fantasy, Everquest , and World of Warcraft in the past but generally like anything with a deep storyline, a rich cultural history behind locations, social interaction with intelligent people and being able to blow shit up with big fucker fireballs. I'm a big Nintendo fanboy (although I prefer Sonic) pretty decent with working around computers and started playing Go a lot in my spare time

Although I've invested a lot of time and effort into drawing I'm not aiming to make it as an illustrator, designer or Manga-ka like some of my friends. My main goal is to create something that I'm happy with and want to do which is why the comics exists but if other people enjoy it as well it just means I'll try even harder.

Thanks for showing an interest, hope you enjoy the comic to come and feel to contact me on the Sweatdrop forums, leave a comment on my DA account, read my LJ and hear me complain about everyone or say hi if you see me at any MUJS meets, Expos or Amecon!
