New Original Comic: INSECT COURSE |
To be a particle coexist within the vast world of nature, whereas the oldest evolutionary organism has long entered our consciousness: the insect world. If you'd like to imagine yourself, or some poor soul, going through a tragically beautiful evolution of metamorphosis; perhaps Ugo's story can entertain you in that aspect.
Our main character Ugo, who has become insanely sick and tired of his job at a dying department store that eventually led him to some dangerous habits. Everyday, Ugo will attempt to break into a stranger’s house, making the place his own. He repeats this adrenaline-inducing routine until one day - he has to pay an irreparable price…
We've been speaking about this since 2024, and finally it is here! Free for everyone to read. This comic is a oneshot of 103 pages, done in black/white.
Right now you can read this (free!!!) comic directly on KOHIU.COM, Fanbox (English/Vietnamese) or download from Ko-fi! After self-publication, the full oneshot will be uploaded on social media later . Physical edition will be sold via conventions only.

This newsletter is a short one! I've been so busy in preparing the comic that there's no time for downtime sketch collage or whatsoever. I have SO many nerdy things I want to talk about though, so please stay tuned for the upcoming newsletter (whenever that is).
As always, you can support me via Fanbox, or Ko-fi. or order a Commission from me.
If you'd have any further discussion related to the newsletter, you can reply directly to this newsletter email.
Thank you for being a part of KOHIU.COM newsletters. Happy Year of the Horse.
