Special Giveaway for New Members on My Patreon!
I’ve made my very first T-shirts. I was originally planning to give one away to just a single person, but… since I ended up making a bunch, I’ve decided to give one to everyone who signs up on my Patreon by July 31st!
(*Due to high shipping costs, this free giveaway is currently limited to U.S. residents 🙏)

Design A: Our performance team "Dot." t-shirt, featuring Chibi Toru and Kaz.

Design B: This design has the phrase 切捨御免, which basically means “sorry for cutting you down.” However on the back, I wrote “Sorry for Slaying” instead of "cutting" so it sounds like an apology for being awesome or amazing, which I think captures a very Japanese sense of modesty.

A little history: During the Edo period, certain samurai had a legal right called 切捨御免 (kirisute gomen) — literally “authorization to cut down” which allowed them to strike down commoners who showed disrespect or acted improperly, without facing legal consequences. It was an official pardon for killing a commoner under those circumstances.
