For this comic, I consider Lezhin to be the official host of the fandom, mostly because the comic is posted on Lezhin first, and thus most of the comic’s fan discussions take place in the comments on each chapter on Lezhin, as well as on subreddits/Discord servers dedicated to the comic. If you’re reading the comic officially, you get to read it at the same pace as everyone else, which is great for participating in weekly sessions of guessing and Speculation about upcoming storylines. All that anticipation and discussion between chapters of a modern serialized comic is half the fun, and you wouldn’t get to experience that if you were to read the comic on a pirate site and read it all at once.

There is no official “full story” for fan-created content, as it’s typically posted in chunks online by an author and then shared by other fans across various platforms where the original author published the work. In the best of cases, the author is still active and publishes more, but more often than not, they’ll pull their work at some point. Even then, it can end up on dodgy sites sans credit to the original author. You can try to search for the original URL on the Wayback Machine if you’ve only read the story once and lost it, but otherwise, it’s a bit of a community-based treasure hunt to find the whole thing.

Blitzo is really the only character I'm curious about as to his age in relation to Fizz and the circus. Loona is another matter entirely. She's one of those characters who exists in that perfect animated space of 'old enough'. I have no desire to know how old Bugs Bunny is, he's a cartoon character. His humor, pathos and deadpan status in the office are none of these things to be reckoned up against a birth certificate. I sometimes worry that we over-analyze characters in fantasy narratives because we're so used to the human variety. Maybe we just have to roll with the established 'vibes' for these characters and not try to apply human metrics to them.

And the anonymity of the story adds to its mystery. This beautiful and melancholic piece about an anonymous connection between two human beings has been created by unknown people and thus we readers connect with the story without knowing who created it. And in the same way as the two main characters of the story experience warmth, we experience it too as we are reading this story about an anonymous connection between two unknown human beings. Maybe that was even the intention of the creators of this story. (I’m probably overthinking this now…).

I read this on Manta some time ago. All of it. As a single, long piece. It was a sweet, slow-burner of an office romance. I have no idea if it’s still on the front page of the site, but you can search for the exact title of the work and hopefully it will come up in the search results – Manta’s categorization of their hosted work can be a bit off. Fingers crossed that it’s not been pulled from the site and you can still read it all. Manta’s model for hosting work is a subscription-based one, so for me reading the whole thing as I did was a fairly reasonable thing to do. But without that, you’re stuck with a bunch of fan sites with terrible scans of the work, which does it a great disservice. The art is half the story and it’s been beautifully told. I really hope this finds a ‘home’ of its own soon.

This always surprises me when I read the title. I expect a completely different genre of game. And then I look at the art and get whiplash. Marketing is weird.

One last thing to check: university digital libraries and online art portfolios. If the creator was a student, their thesis project might have been the comic in question. University thesis projects are often archived on the university's repository website, and are frequently made publicly available. Search for the title of your mystery comic, preceded by terms like 'portfolio', 'thesis', 'BFA', 'MFA'. It's a very academic route of investigation, but I've found some amazing stuff - including some stunningly animated shorts and graphic novels - on .edu domains that aren't available anywhere else on the web. It's a bit of a long shot, but the potential reward is a hidden masterpiece.

This would be the one with the fox spirit and the twin infants, right? That is so cute. Print? I wouldn’t count on it. These webcomics are basically created as free labor. Authors are paid in moderation for webcomics in the form of ads and Patreon, but a print version of their work would demand so much more. In addition to the author, you would also have to pay a layout artist, a printing service, a shipping company, and people to deal with customers. That is not something that most webcomic authors could hope to afford. Some of the sweeter ones have been picked up by publishers from time to time, but that is very much the exception to the rule. Your best chance is probably for the author to make it as a passion project at some point. Until then, go read it online and recommend it to people.

Webtoon. I wrote that title so you’d read this piece about the act of reading Webtoon comics. Yes, the vertical scroll is perfect for building to suspense and comedic moments. An artist can use the length of the scroll to control the pacing of a scene. For example, a reaction panel can be placed just off the bottom of the screen so that the reader has to scroll down to see the character’s expression in that moment. If a comic were online and all the panels for a page were displayed all at once or the comic was read horizontally page by page click by click then the comedic moments would not be timed as well. The medium is the message and ‘Mi Casa Es Tu Casa’ is a Webtoon comic designed for a specific Webtoon size “canvas” and so it must be read on Webtoon in order to get the full intended experience of the comic. Any other format would be a watered down or compromised version of the work, much like watching a wide screen movie pan and scan to fit a smaller old TV.

What is the official stance of Shueisha (or other companies) towards fan-created comics? I assume they are legal under fair use when used as parody or commentary, but the line gets blurred when a fan writes a completely alternate story. Most fan-created comics are non-commercial, which would likely be the reason they are left alone by big companies. They are extremely fascinating, but also sort of anxiety-provoking to me. I really like ‘I See You’ but I fear that one day a company may send a cease-and-desist and the comic will be taken off of the internet. So, I silently download all of the pages to my computer in case.
