December Character Introductions

Hello everyone. 

A lot has changed since YunokiRoom's indefinite hiatus and the last character introductions that I posted a week after my 18th birthday during that time period.

Throughout that time, while I've been working on several projects and looking for a new one due to the current state of the Toshiba laptop that I'm currently writing this post from since last January, my parents bought me a new computer just in time for Christmas, which explains why I'm now in the process of backing up and transferring data from the current computer to the new one.

Aside from that, since I have some personal stuff later in the day, I have two new characters to introduce. 

However, unlike last time and just like the character introductions from March, they're both male characters that were made within a week of each other, so let's introduce them right away.

1) Noboru (December 10th, 2025)

"I want to bring smile to people all around the world!"

A very friendly idol from a very popular idol group, whose goal is to make people smile around the world.

Outside of the idol scene, he was once an mentally unstable high school senior of mixed Ainu descent, who has an introverted personality and an extremely negative mindset in addition to having a messy room despite his normal although somewhat troubled past.

At one point, he went to a completely different high school, only to withdraw from that school towards the middle of his first year due to strict rules and transferred to an another school, where he became best friends with his former upperclassman Yukiya.

One day, after his best friend graduated from high school and moved out of Japan, he was looking for a part-time job, when he started auditioning to become an idol and became a part of a newly-formed idol group, which helped him change himself for the better.

2) Asher (December 18th, 2025)

"G'day, mate!"

An adventurous part-time worker and a close friend of xyuro, who loves everything about the ocean in addition to gaming and reading a variety of books.

Coming from a mixed Māori and Indigenous Australian background, he spent his early years in New Zealand until he moved to Australia and settled in Wollongong with his family by the time he started elementary school.

It was there that he learned everything from surviving in the Outback to learning English from his best friend Virali, who he was very close with throughout most of his elementary school years until they drifted apart due to the latter moving to South Africa with her family towards the end of said year.

5 years later, while in high school, his whole life fell apart when he received a call from her mother that Virali had sacrificed herself to protect her older brother Jignesh from the rival gangs who were about to attack him after he tried to stop them from fighting each other, to the point where Asher started to grieve his best friend's loss.

2 years later, after graduating from school, he moved to a town, where he started working a part-time job at a local boat dealership to earn a living while spending some time on his different hobbies on his days off from work.

That's all I have to say about these 2 male characters for today.

Anyways, right before I head to sleep, although it's only 2 days before the end of this year, I wish you all a Happy New Year 2026 in advance, as I'm graduating from high school in 6 months.

Until that day comes, I'll try to update you all from time to time when I can, so please stay tuned for the next update from us.

Good night!

November Character Introductions

Hello everyone.

Even though it's been already a month since YunokiRoom went on indefinite hiatus, I'm now a few weeks left to the December vacations.

Recently, despite the first 4 episodes of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi being now released, there's an another good news that I would like to share this week. 

Last week, a new protocol has been signed between the prefecture, local town hall and the people from the nearby village, which was the scene of a recent clash that happened the day before my birthday and it got so bad that my hometown has been barricaded, with all classes were suspended at my school and the other schools within my island throughout the whole week due to the teachers being unable to get into their jobs.

I went to school last week, only to find that there weren't many students and teachers at the school that I had to go back home from school to celebrate my birthday instead.

However, I have 5 new characters to introduce before I head to school this afternoon.

1) Eliakim (November 4th, 2025)

"Shalom everyone!"

A young merchant and part-time fisherman of mixed Hadhrami and Oromo descent.

Despite his Jew upbringing, he spent his early years in Yemen until he moved to Djibouti with his family due to religious persecution, where he lived a supposedly normal life and became friends with other people his age, who were kind towards him.

By the time he reached his teenage years, he and his parents went on a boat trip to visit his maternal family in Kenya, only for them to get captured by the pirates until they were rescued by the authorities and lived a normal life in Mombasa, until his parents got divorced after he told his father about his mother's affair 2 years later.

After the divorce, he and his father moved out of Kenya to study at the same high school as Yara, Bruno and Yatomi.

3 years later, after graduating from high school, he studied at an university in Dembéni, only to quit 3 months later in order to focus on his dream job as a fisherman while selling on the streets to provide for his family due to his father's declining health.

2) Gisella (November 10th, 2025)

"Üdvözlünk!" (Welcome! in Hungarian)

A young woman from Romania of mixed Croatian-Hungarian descent.

Growing up, she was the youngest of three siblings, consisting of her older brother Marian and her older sister Lilla, who were all successful in their own lives, and at first, she lived a normal life in Hungary with them.

By the time she turned 18 in 2020, she found out from her older siblings' father that she was the product of an affair her mother had with her biological father during their marriage and got kicked out of the house after being disowned by him, to fend for herself in the forests of neighboring Ukraine.

There, after working for the legendary Baba Yaga for a while to rebuild her own life, she moved to Lviv, where she met a man named Nazar, who became her best friend and fell in love with her at first sight to the point where he proposed to her on her 19th birthday before marrying each other 2 months later.

However, her life in Ukraine didn't last long, as they fled to Slovakia a month after their marriage due to the war and somehow managed to live a normal life.

3 years later, after becoming a chef at a local restaurant, Gisella found out from Zinaida's older brother that her husband Nazar was assassinated by close friends of Zinaida's former colleagues who were planning their revenge on Ramona and Marek after they found out that their friends were deported to Belarus after they were caught spying in Poland.

Upon hearing about this while grieving his death, she turned herself into a beast and teamed up with a elven man called Sylvan, with the sole purpose of avenging her husband's assassination.

3) Sylvan (November 11th, 2025)

"I'm bad for this planet."

A male wood elf originally from Old Arcadia, who is an archer and a former walking environmental disaster that destroys everything in his path.

Prior to becoming an environmental disaster, he spent his early years in Old Arcadia before fleeing to Sunset Beach to avoid being targeted by the male butterfly's rampage.

After spending nearly a decade in Sunset Beach, he moved to Sakurahama Island, where he became close friends with Yunoki, who also returned to reunite with her mother after parting ways with her other friend Yanagi.

Throughout the next 3 years, he would spend time with Yunoki at her own house and learned how to practice archery from her to the point where he wanted to be with her and stay by her side for the rest of their lives.

Unfortunately, his wish to be with her didn't last long, as Yunoki told him that she'll be pursuing her dream career to become a singer in Japan, who he was very supportive of, only to part ways with him and she never looked back, instead starting a family on her own.

6 years later, Sylvan went to Japan and wanted to know what Yunoki was up, so when he asked her former high school classmates where she was, they told him that she was nowhere to be found within the country.

It was there that he started becoming an environmental disaster by devastating the nature around him and destroying everything in his path for 4 years, until he travelled to Eastern Europe, where he met Gisella and teamed up with her to avenge her husband's assassination in Slovakia.

4) Najwa (November 17th, 2025)

"Let's go gambling!"

A mysterious traveler from a faraway land, who is actually a djinn with the ability to transform into different forms.

Prior to becoming a djinn, she was a human painter whose entire family were massacred by a neighboring kingdom to the point where she sought help from an elderly marabout to seek revenge on said kingdom for killing her family, only for her to inherit his land through the keys before his demise a few hours later.

However, after inheriting his land, she got into a fight with his sons over the land, who turned her into a djinn and stole the keys from her, leaving her with nowhere else to go but to live in a dark place within hot desert within a faraway land.

Several years later, she got out of the dark place and headed towards the outside world, this time under the disguise of a human girl to befriend other humans.

5) Yukiya (November 19th, 2025)

"I don't care about what others think about me."

A young man about the same age as xyuro, albeit 2 days younger than her, who loves to dress as a girl.

Growing up, he and his younger sister Hisako lived under the shadow of their older sister Chiaki, who were older than them and would often compete with his younger sister over the smallest things, to the point where his parents had to step in to scold her several times but she refused to listen to them for years.

After his older sister left his parents' house, he walked into her former room and wore one of the dresses he found in her closet, before filming a video of himself wearing said dress as a way to deal with his trauma.

After graduating from high school, he moved to France in order to pursue his dream career of becoming a pastry chef.

One day, after getting home from his part-time job, Hisako called him, telling him that she stumbled upon Chiaki's posts on social media and found out that the latter dropped out of university and was working in a shady job to compensate them after apologizing to their parents, only for them to say that they didn't care and hung up, before moving on with their lives.

That's all I have to say about these 5 new characters for today.

Since I'm heading back to school this afternoon, I'll try to update from time to time when I can, so please stay tuned for more updates from us in the future.

October Character Introduction

Hello everyone.

Although it's been almost 2 weeks since YunokiRoom as a doujinshi circle went on an indefinite hiatus, we now have 4 days left until Halloween.

Exceptionally, despite all this and last month's internal high school drama, since I'm finally back to school as of today, I have a new female character to introduce so let's introduce her right away.

1) Gulzar (October 24th, 2025)

"Welcome to my rose garden!"

A relatable female lemur, who for some reasons had turned into a human.

Despite being a part of a troop in Madagascar and living the same lifestyle as them, she was kidnapped and smuggled into a neighboring island at an early age, where she was freed from her kidnappers by the other lemurs who came to her rescue and who she saw as her parental figures.

By the time she was able to form a troop of her own, she turned into a human in the middle of the forest after drinking a bowl of water contaminated with the effects of a human potion and started living normally like other humans.

One day, she came across one of Nate's videos and wanted to be a VTuber like him so she debuted as one under the name of Gulzar a few days later.

That's all I have to say about Gulzar for today.

However, due to several high school exams being scheduled from December onwards along with the Parcoursup procedure, most projects related to YunokiRoom will be put on the back burner until further notice, so in the meantime, please continue to stay tuned for the next update from us.

On the other hand, I'll continue to update you all on more details about Gulzar and the current situation with school from time to time, even after the end of this school year's Parcoursup procedure.

Indefinite Hiatus Announcement

Hello everyone, this is xyuro, the creator of the YunokiRoom project and doujinshi circle.

I know this may be not an easy decision and I deeply apologize for this very late notice, but unfortunately, as most of you all may have noticed, I've been posting less recently. 

Throughout these past 3 months, way before starting my final year of high school, I've been on an indefinite period of unannounced semi-hiatus caused by school exams, the long school hours and internal high school drama that I've mentioned in my previous posts.

Aside from the apologies, I would like to thank you all for continuing to stick with my anime-inspired fantasy world throughout these times.

Despite all this, nothing much has changed and I'm still doing fine, except that there's a lot of things going on within my life in the next few years to come, even though I'm currently 8-9 months away from starting a new chapter in my life after graduating from high school.  

Although I would still like to develop and implement some of these characters into a future light novel, but unfortunately, so for now, YunokiRoom as an doujinshi circle will be on indefinite hiatus starting from October 18th, 2025, in order to focus on other projects.

Don't worry, this is not the end, as I'll still be active on social media and posting illustrations when I can throughout this hiatus. 

However, all ongoing projects within the doujinshi circle, including Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi, will still continue to be worked on.

While we thank you all for your support of this project moving forward, we hope that YunokiRoom will return in the future once everything is sorted out.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me through the comments and social media DMs as I'll still check on them from time to time.

That's all, and stay tuned for the next episode of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi that'll be posted within the next few days on its own blog. 

Until then, see you all next time!

-xyuro

Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi EP1: Arid Tales

Hello everyone, and welcome to Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi! 

In this series, we'll be telling a variety of different stories from different parts of the world. 

This time, it's the very first episode of the series, which serves as the main frame story for the series itself, even though the rest of the series will be posted on a completely different blog due to the announcement of YunokiRoom's indefinite hiatus that'll be posted on a later date.

One day, while Yasmina was at a local library, she grabbed one of the books from the bookshelves and started reading the book.

Suddenly, when she was in the middle of reading the book, she suddenly got transported into the world of the book itself.

There, she found herself in an idyllic desert and saw a man dressed in blue before waking him up with hand gestures.

"Wait, where am I...?", he murmured to himself before looking at her face.

He then introduces to her as Ilham, before explaining to her that he was lost in the middle of nowhere after he lost his entire camel caravan in a sandstorm.

Upon her taking him to a village, everyone was frightened upon seeing him except for a woman who knows the man and his tribe before taking the two of them in.

While in the woman's house, Ilham explains to Yasmina about his culture when suddenly, the chieftain informed them about a beast wandering around the village and ordered everyone to stay indoors for their safety, except that his daughter found herself trapped by the beast while she was in the middle of gathering plants.

And so, Ilham sets out to save the chieftain's daughter by jumping and attacking the beast.

As a result for his heroic actions, the chieftain healed his wounds and allowed him to leave his village with Yasmina.

Upon arriving in his hometown, he was reunited with his family and thanked Yasmina for helping him out in his journey before giving her a necklace and a blue scarf before parting ways with each other.

After leaving Ilham's hometown, Yasmina found herself in the middle of the desert again, only to put the blue scarf on her head.

A few minutes later, she saw a local herdsman wandering with his camels and heading towards a faraway kingdom.

Upon seeing her with the blue scarf, the herdsman takes her on one of his camels before they headed on their way to a town.

While on their way, the herdsman tells Yasmina about a king who was scorned by his unfaithful wife to the point where he killed several women in the morning after sleeping with them the night before for 3 years until a storyteller came along to tell him a variety of different stories for 1001 nights before he made her his queen for the rest of his life.

By the time he told her the story, they have already arrived at the entrance of the town and jumped off from their camels, before heading towards the entrance of the town.

Later that evening, while standing at one of the stalls of the vibrant night market, Yasmina received a ring and a mysterious oil lamp from a merchant, who was heading to his house in a hurry after he was done selling all of his products for the day.

She inserted the ring in her left ring finger and held the lamp in her arms.

"What is that lamp doing in my hands? Let me try rubbing it to see if this actually works or not."

She rubbed the lamp, only for the lamp to summon a djinn in front of her.

"What is happening here?! Why is there a demon in front of me?!", she panicked.

"Hey, calm down Yasmina, please, I'm not a demon!", the djinn said.

"Ah I see, my bad, so you're what then?", she replied.

"I'm a normal human just like you!", the djinn responded, to her shock.

By then, it was already too late, as everyone saw what was going on and ran away from the scene upon hearing the djinn from the lamp telling her that he's a normal human being, leaving just the two of them behind.

Upon seeing unconscious, the djinn was horrified and tried to wake her up but to no avail.

"Oh no, what have I done to scare everyone away?"

Soon, a few minutes later, she woke up and got up from the ground.

"Alright Yasmina, so since you don't know who I am, let me introduce myself. My name is Zuhair and nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you too, Zuhair. Why are you trapped inside a lamp?"

"It's because of Shaytan's friend who killed people in Al-Thalj and despite all this, he manipulated others into believing his lies about me when in fact he's in the wrong."

"Wow, I want nothing to do with him anymore."

"Me neither. By the way, Yasmina, since you have three wishes left, what is your first wish?"

"My first wish is to become a princess."

Her first wish was granted, and now Yasmina became a lovely princess under the name of Princess Karima.

Upon seeing her as Princess Karima, Sinan, the prince of the faraway kingdom, fell in love with her at first sight, only for her to tell him that Zuhair made her a princess, but the prince didn't mind and was genuinely interested by her experience in said world.

Later that night, after having her second wish of having a flying carpet granted, Yasmina and Sinan flew on a magic carpet and looked at the stars.

After returning to the balcony through the carpet, Sinan confessed his feelings before proposing to Yasmina, to which she agreed.

Afterwards, she told Zuhair about her final wish, which was to turn him into a human and to return to the human world.

Zuhair granted her last wish, turning himself into a human and summoning a portal to the human world.

"After all this time, it was nice seeing you. I never thought you'd be my husband in this world, but I have something important to tell you." Yasmina said to Sinan.

"What is it about?", the latter asked.

"Since I don't have much time left in this world, I need to go back to the human world to live a normal life just like others."

"Wait, can I join you there?"

"No, you can't."

"Ah, that's sad. It'll be great if we can still be together in the human world in an another life.", he responded.

The two of them kissed and hugged each other goodbyes before Yasmina left for the human world through the portal.

A few days later, Yasmina was now back in the outside world, hanging out with her friends Yara, Lael, Bruno and Yatomi at a local café.

"So Yasmina, how was your trip?", Bruno asked.

"It went great, It felt like that I was living my best life in the Sahara when in fact it's a completely different world." Yasmina responded.

"Wow, I would love to go there!", Yara said.

"Me too!", Lael responded.

"That's amazing!", Yatomi said.

After everyone had a good time at the café, they were all on their way home, when they came across a strange car stopping in front of them in a grocery store.

"Hey, what is that car doing here?", Lael said.

The car's left window opened, revealing the driver, who was none other than a man wearing a kofia and a thobe.

The man in the thobe greeted them in Arabic, to which Yara, Yasmina, Bruno and Yatomi greeted back.

"Guys, who is that strange man?", Lael asked.

Yara then explains to Lael that the strange man is a known celebrity in this town and his name was Wahid, but people call him Zama Shingo (Uncle Salt in the Shimaoré language) because he loved putting salt in the food he makes and eating salty food.

"I see. Thanks for letting me know about him.", Lael said to Yara.

"Zama Shingo, can you please drive me and my friends home?", Yatomi asked Wahid.

"Of course I can, Yatomi.", he answered before letting the four of them in his car.

While in the car, Yasmina saw a picture of Sinan on the bottom of the rearview mirror and said to Yara and Lael "Wait, is that the man who proposed to me in an another world?"

"Yes, that's my great-great-granduncle. He had a wife that looked just like you and her name was Karima, and together they had 5 kids.", Wahid responded.

"Ah, I see, so that means I'm your great-great-grandaunt-in-law?", said in complete shock.

"No, you just look like her.", Wahid laughed while teasing her.

After the conversation, Yara, Lael, Bruno and Yatomi got out of the car and waved goodbye to Wahid before heading to their homes, leaving their friend Yasmina behind.

Later, while in the car, Wahid and Yasmina were talking about the latter's adventures in the book, even after he took Imran in.

Just as the three of them stopped in front of Yasmina's house, after she left the car, Wahid started falling in love with her before touching her pink hair, only to be caught red-handed by Imran.

"Wallahi, what the hell are you doing with a young girl's hair?! You're 20 and she's only 3 years younger than you!", Imran yelled at him before beating him up with his shoes and leaving the car as well.

2 months later, Imran and Wahid found themselves in court with their lawyers present.

After their lawyers argued and Yasmina's testimony, the judge ruled in favor of Imran and sentenced Wahid to prison.

A few days later, Yasmina decided to sleep over at a shared apartment.

There, she saw Imran waving at her, telling her to join her friends who have been waiting for her to start the adventure through the globe.

Upon arriving at where her friends were, Yasmina saw Yara, Nate, Bruno and Yatomi sitting and cornering an interactive globe and a magical crayon.

"What is this globe doing here?", she said.

"We're waiting for you to decide on which country we should go to.", Bruno told her.

"Hey, where did Lael go?", Imran asked.

Yara showed him a text message from Lael saying that he returned to Finland on his own to serve his military service along with a selfie of him in Helsinki.

"Hetkinen, onko kuvassa oleva mies poikaystäväsi? (Wait, is the man in the photo your boyfriend?)", Nate said to her in Finnish while looking at the selfie.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend.", she responded back.

"Alright everyone, what place should we go to?", Yara said to the people in the room and grabbed the magical crayon.

After everyone all agreed on going to Egypt, the scene switches to Xyuro typing and concluding the rest of the story on her computer while doing her homework.

She looked behind and saw Nate's younger brother waving with one of her letters.

"Hey! About your response to my brother's letter... How many postcards?", he asked her

"Who are you? Are you Nate's brother?", Xyuro responded.

"Yes, I'm his brother. My name is Ingvar.", Ingvar told her.

Ingvar then proceeds to tell his story to Xyuro about how his father had lied to him and his mother for years about his past to the point where he reached out to Nate on Instagram after he ended one of his VTuber livestreams.

"Ah, I see. Let me call your brother first.", Xyuro replied back.

She then calls Nate to tell him that his brother was at her house and to come over at her house.

He then came over to her house in a rush and said "Xyuro, what's the matter?"

"Your brother Ingvar came over to bring the envelope containing the response to your letter.", she responded.

"Is that so? Well, let me explain to you about my family."

After explaining to her about his family, Nate tells Ingvar to come with him at his house and waved her goodbye, saying to her "Thanks for looking out for my brother!" before leaving her house to bring his brother back to his mother.

The next day, Xyuro received a call from a panicked Niels telling her that he stumbled upon a leaked video of a random man cosplaying as Nate's VTuber avatar.

"Well, listen sweetie, you won't believe what I've seen last night, but I think that the man on the video looks like someone who you might know."

"No way. I don't think he looks like Nate. I called him yesterday about his brother, so there's no way it can be him.", she said.

"Ah, I see. I called Nate earlier this morning and he told me it wasn't him but rather some random guy from Sweden who I've known before.", he replied.

The phone call continued for about an hour until he ended the call telling her that he's going to have fun at her house.

"Now, let's pick up where we left off in the story last time before Niels arrives at my house.", Xyuro said before going on her computer to write the rest of the story.

Upon arriving in Egypt, Yasmina found herself on a boat sailing across the Nile with Imran and her friends Yara, Bruno and Yatomi.

"Wait, where am I?", Yatomi said.

One of the locals sailing the boat answered to her in Arabic that the boat is heading towards the city of Cairo and that they'll be in a hotel.

A few hours later, upon the boat arriving at a port in Cairo, the four of them left the boat and headed towards the streets of the capital.

"Are we really in Egypt?", Bruno said.

"Yes, we're staying there for 4 nights before we head home.", Yara responded.

And so, Yasmina and her friends headed to a nearby hotel to spend the rest of the night.

The next day, after they all checked out of the hotel they were staying at, Imran rented a car for them to drive across the Nile to visit the city of Luxor.

Will Yasmina and her friends somehow manage to spend the next 4 nights in Egypt? Find out next time in the next episode of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi!

To be continued...

Happy Chuseok from YunokiRoom

September Character Introductions

Hello everyone.

A lot of things has changed throughout the past 3 weeks since I'm now in my senior year in high school and the 7 years since our mascot Itosugi Yunoki's VTuber debut.

Last week, I was caught in the middle of a crossfire involving the principal's mismanagement at my school which started with me and several students at my school being transferred to different classes without our knowledge. 

As a result, our parents decided to confront the principal and demanded a change in the current state of the school.

Without further ado, aside from the high school drama and the indefinite hiatus announcement that'll be coming within a few weeks, unlike the character introductions from last time, I'll be introducing 3 new characters.

1) Zinaida (September 6th, 2025)

"Давай гуляць." (Let's play. in Belarusian)

A mysterious sound engineer, who loves music and computer programming.

Originally hailing from a city in western Belarus, she was fluent in three different languages and dreamed of becoming a fashion designer.

That is, until she was exiled to Poland with her older brother after her high school graduation in 2017, where they lived a normal and simple life, although traumatized by their parents' persecution by the ruling dictatorship in Belarus.

4 years later, after she graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in computer science, her parents were released from prison and joined them to make a fresh start.

At first, she started out as an IT technician for a small software company, until she was forced to resign from her job by a greedy female employee, who stole her boyfriend of 3 months from her.

One day, after she got home from one of her street performances, she received a call from Ramona, who told her that the two employees were fired and deported from Poland for spying for the dictatorship before inviting her to work at her company, this time as a sound engineer.

2) Leonel (September 9th, 2025)

"Bonghjornu, enchanté di connosce vi!" (Hello, nice to meet you! in Corsican)

A young man from Corsica, who currently works at his own bakery despite his troubled background.

When he was born, his biological father emotionally abused him and his mother that the doctors called the security guards to kick him out of the room where the latter two were staying in at the time.

After he and his mother were released from the hospital, they went to live with his maternal grandparents who lived in the city of Bastia, where he lived a normal life despite the lengthy legal process that resulted in his mother gaining full custody of him thanks to the testimonies of his paternal grandmother and his father's first ex-girlfriend.

1 year later, his mother got remarried to his stepfather, who cared about them and treated them with respect to the point where he saw his stepfather as his father figure.

12 years later, he started working part-time at his maternal grandparents' bakery in order to help them out.

Soon everything changed when his grandparents had no choice but close their bakery during the pandemic, leaving him unemployed for 2 years, until he opened his own bakery, where he's still working to this day.

3) Xyuro (September 12th, 2025)

"Wait a sec... What am I doing with my life the whole time?"

Not much is quite known about this particular person, except that she's a real person who lives in the human world and who the mysterious entity Yara is heavily inspired from.

It's said that although her family knows about her real name, she's only known as "xyuro" by her close friends.

Shortly before her disappearance, she appointed Yara to watch the different dimensions and handed over the mirror and butterfly hair accessory to the latter, before keeping an eye on her through the accessory.

That's all I have to say about these 3 new characters for today.

Since I'm heading to school tomorrow, please stay tuned for the next update from us.

Like as always, I'll continue to update you all on the current situation as it evolves.

August Character Introductions

Hello everyone.

A month has passed since the last character introductions back in late July which marked the end of ChDaSoNa.

Unlike last time, a lot of things has changed throughout this summer vacation, which will end in 2 days for students living in Metropolitan France.

This week, since I haven't been at home much lately because of the long school hours, I'll be introducing four new characters that I drew 3 weeks prior before announcing YunokiRoom's indefinite hiatus to focus on other things in my life at a later date.

This time, just like the June character introductions that introduced the ChDaSoNa 4, three of them are female characters while one of them is a male character.

1) Noora (August 5th, 2025)

"I'll make your dreams come true."

A legendary dream collector, who is the guardian of a mysterious stone with the ability to transform dreams into reality.

Prior to her becoming the guardian of the stone, she was an ordinary night shift worker from Cyprus who grew up in her mother's home country of Lebanon.

After spending her early years in the country, she moved to Greece with her mother, where the latter got remarried to her stepfather who truly cared about them more than her biological father, that is until she moved out of her parents' house to attend university in neighboring Albania.

Soon, after graduating from university in 2018, she worked several odd jobs in Italy and at one point, she sought help from a mutual friend of Alvaro and Nasrin to get revenge on her ex-boyfriend, who she broke up with after he admitted to cheating on her with another woman.

After the passing of the local fortune teller she used to frequent, Alvaro gives her an invisible necklace and a stone he obtained from the fortune teller's son.

One day, she returned back to her parents' house in Greece, where her mother was shocked to see a hidden crescent symbol on her forehead and did everything to exorcise her from the evil spirit claiming to curse her daughter, only for a priest to tell her mother that her daughter was born with the ability to predict the future and transform dreams into reality.

Upon realizing this and the fact that Noora might not return to the human world until she fulfilled her mission to collect everyone's dreams, her mother told the priest that he was right about her all along and she reconciled with her daughter, who vanished into the middle of the night after hugging her mother goodbye.

2) Marek (August 13th, 2025)

"Miło cię poznać!" (Nice to meet you! in Polish)

A freelance programmer from western Poland, who works for a small business.

He grew up in a dysfunctional family with his older sister Ramona, where their mother was an alcoholic who came from a cult while their father worked on the weekdays to support them to the point where their parents got divorced in 2011 when they were 9 and 11 respectively.

Throughout the 3 years following their parents' divorce, they lived in Szczecin with their father on the weekends and in neighboring Germany with their mother on the weekdays, until their father gained full custody of them in 2014 after their mother was arrested for forcing his sister into a marriage with a distant male cousin of theirs against her will.

9 years after the incident, he graduated from university with a bachelor's degree in 2023 and started working as an intern for an advertising agency known for exploiting its employees, to the point where he learned how to code from an employee, who was also fed up with the company as him.

Soon, they became friends and ended up quitting their jobs at the agency a year later in 2024, when he started working as a freelancer.

One day, he received a job offer from a small business owned by his older sister Ramona, who had just started her business with her new husband, who genuinely cared about them to the point where her brother started working as a full-time employee for their new business.

3) Inayat (August 19th, 2025)

"Let's play with the magic."

A low-profile entrepreneur, who came from an very unfortunate background.

She was born in Italy to a young girl from nearby Tunisia, who abandoned her a few hours after her birth, and was raised by a different family after she was detoxed to reduce her dependency on her mother's drugs.

6 years later, her maternal grandparents found out about her on a local newspaper after they haven't heard any updates from her mother for 10 years before adopting and raising her as their own daughter in Malta.

After spending 3 years in Malta, she headed to Algeria, this time to pursue her dream career and find her mother's whereabouts.

6 years later, after graduating from a university in Algiers, while selling fruits and vegetables to make a living, she saw her mother, who was now in her 40s, happily married to a different man in her age range, walking with him and a brother, who had no idea of his older sister's existence and confronted their mother over her lies, which resulted in their mother getting divorced and them building their relationship as siblings.

4 years after her mother got divorced, she became an entrepreneur and moved into a new house somewhere in Tunisia, which is said to be a place that allowed people living in precarious situations to live there for free.

4) Parisa (August 20th, 2025)

"Salam! Hey, let's have a great time!"

A simple girl from Tajikistan, who dreams of becoming a voice actress.

After being fired from part-time jobs several times in China due to the religious persecution of her kind, she moved to an apartment in Uzbekistan that was recommended to her by a friend of her father, who was unaware of the reality behind the apartment itself.

However, upon moving to the apartment, she realized that she no longer had to hide who she was in front of others anymore and actually loved to be free without religious hatred interfering with her life.

That's all I have to say about these 4 new characters for today.

Stay tuned for the next update from us, as I will still continue to update you all on the current situation, even after the end of my high school years.

July Character Introductions

Hello everyone. 

It's been a month since the latest character introductions from June that introduced most of the characters of ChDaSoNa.

Exceptionally, I'm now currently on summer vacation until August 25th.

However, just like the character introductions back in February, there are only two new characters that I would like to introduce and mark the end of ChDaSoNa, before the start of the new school year this August.

Since we're only 3 days away from the end of this month which coincides with my father's birthday, I'll be introducing the characters that were made within 3 weeks of each other, so let's introduce them right away.

1) Junho (July 7th, 2025)

"Hello, I am Junho!"

A well-known social media star of Korean descent, who has gone through a lot in his life.

Prior to his rise to stardom and becoming a part of a virtual K-POP idol group, he came from a relatively well-off background, in a small town where people knew each other. 

At one point, despite being bullied in his elementary and middle school years, he dreamed of becoming a musician in his elementary school years, but he later gave up on that dream in middle school because of his mother's opposition and fixation on him becoming a doctor and succeeding in extracurricular activities.

Soon, by the end of his high school years, after his parents' divorce, he moved in with his aunt, who genuinely cared about him and actively supports his dream to become a singer.

One day, he decided to make a name for himself on social media under the name of Junho and became online friends with Cherry, who considers him as her ideal boyfriend and turns out, he has feelings for her as well.

2) Raisa (July 23rd, 2025)

"Hello, sidee tahay?" (How are you? in Somali)

A young girl, who is completely torn between a normal and religious life.

Growing up, she spent her early years in Basra, Iraq, before moving to neighboring Kuwait with her father and older brother.

That is, until she was kidnapped by her mother in 2014, who she barely knew as a child ever since she left them for her affair partner 4 years prior, under the excuse of convincing her ex-husband to return with her to Ethiopia.

There, she became isolated and separated from her family and locals through distance and language barriers, not to mention having difficulties learning Amharic even after her mother was proven incapable of raising her.

7 years later, she was sent to live with her maternal aunt, who helped her learn Amharic and Somali, and in turn, she told her everything about her mother's abuse.

Together, they both went to see her maternal grandmother and uncle Tariku, where the aunt told them about her mother's abuse in English, to their anger that they offered to help her by calling her father and giving her a plane ticket to Saudi Arabia on his behalf.

Upon returning to Jeddah, she was finally reunited with her older brother, who was waiting for her and they both returned to Kuwait to reconcile with their father.

4 years after her reunion, while on a summer vacation to Bahrain, she went to a swimming pool, where she saw Shaytan disguised as a handsome boy her age, attempting to make advances towards her.

Upon seeing him making advances towards his sister, her older brother threw his sandals at his face before he accompanied her to their resort room.

Later that night, she woke up in a dream, where she saw an amusement park, which, along with Shaytan himself, turned out to be a trap set up by her mother's current husband in retaliation for his in-laws siding with his stepdaughter against his wife after they found out about the abuse Raisa endured from her mother.

Despite everyone's advice telling her not to fall for the trap, she refused to listen to them and ended up falling into Shaytan's curse.

That's all I have to say about these 2 new characters for today.

Stay tuned for the next update from us, as I'll continue to update you all, even throughout the rest of the summer vacations.

The Future of YunokiRoom Games (Update)

Hello everyone, this is holyshit.

Recently, I have some news to share regarding the current state and future of my games.

If you're wondering why most of the games I made in the past (including Imperishable Story, Kemonomimi Otome Life, Kisekae Computer Club and Featheria Online to note a few) have been delisted on itch.io, that's because itch.io bended their knees to pressure from payment processors by erasing several content without any warning to their creators and customers.

Turns out, they were pressured by several payment processors including VISA and MasterCard on behalf of a hate group called Collective Shout (whose members actively support CSEM and misandry), to target and censor content that the latter group doesn’t like (including NSFW and LGBTQ+) from their site in an attempt to suppress freedom of expression, which goes against what their creators (including I) stands for in the first place.

This isn't the first time nor the last time I've heard of payment processors abusing their powers to restrict payment on fictional content as this has happened to several businesses in Japan and worldwide for several years.

As a result, while I am now considering looking for alternatives or opening a homepage to host our games on, I decided to release MapleStory After Story on the Internet Archive so that it doesn't become lost media, and will be doing the same for my other games in the near future.

Rest assured, I'll still continue to draw art and develop games as usual, except that I will no longer post my future games and content on itch.io until they reverse their decision and put pressure on payment processors.

UPDATE (as of August 11th, 2025):

As of July 31st, 2025, most of my games are now relisted, all thanks to your support, along with itch.io reversing their decision to delist adult games by relisting free adult games and announcing that they're looking for alternative payment processors that are comfortable with NSFW content, since they got rid of Stripe as a payment method for adult content.

While I thank those who continue to support and play my games throughout this situation, I will still continue to draw and pursue my dream job while providing updates for my existing games on other platforms as usual.

In the meantime, although we'll continue to keep an eye on the current situation with itch.io, please continue to take the payment processors and the hate group accountable for trying to suppress freedom of artistic expression.

Wish Upon a Death Star

Legend has it that there was a park in southern Sakurahama Island, said to be home to a bamboo tree, where anyone can write their wishes into a paper strip and hang them to the tree.

One day, while the other couples were having a picnic next to the bamboo tree after putting their wishes to the tree, Cherrypink sat on a wooden picnic table on her own, drawing a portrait of her ideal boyfriend.

Damien walks in and sat next to her.

"Hey Cherry, what are you doing?", he said to her.

"I'm drawing my ideal boyfriend.", she replied.

"Ok.", he responded back.

To their surprise, Hyunwoo walked up to them, and he looked at what she was drawing.

"Wait a minute, Cherry, is that me who you're drawing?", he asked.

"No, I'm not drawing you, but it's my ideal boyfriend.", she answered.

"Ah, I see.", he said.

After that, Cherrypink decided to write a wish on a paper strip, before hanging it to the bamboo tree and heading back to the table.

"So Cherry, what is your wish for this year?", Damien asked her out of curiosity.

"I wish to have a loving boyfriend.", she replied to his answer.

While in the middle of the conversation, Bacar and Hadidja walked together in front of the bench, holding hands and a picnic basket.

"The picnic we had together was amazing, wasn't it?", Hadidja said to Bacar.

"Yeah, it was amazing! Let's make a wish together.", Bacar replied.

They wrote their own respective wishes and hung them on the tree, before leaving the scene, to everyone's excitement.

Suddenly, Joakim tapped Cherrypink's shoulder, and he told her that Kamal wrote a wish saying that he wanted to be with her.

"Who's Kamal?", she asked him.

"He's that pink-haired guy who loves you more than anyone else in this world, but wait, there's one more. Look behind you, Cherry." he told her.

She looked behind and saw Niels sitting on the other side of the table, waving at her with a smile.

"So, Niels, what is your wish for this year?” she tells him.

"I want to graduate from college, marry you and start a family together in the future.", he replied to her.

"Niels, that's my phrase!", Damien responded, while joking at the same time.

Soon, the people that were on the bench began laughing over Damien's joke, when suddenly a mysterious song began playing out of nowhere, that people outside of their picnic bench began holding torches and heading towards the mountaintop.

Yasmina walked to the picnic bench and said to everyone "Guys, what is this all about? Why are they heading towards the mountain with a torch?"

"I don't know, but something's going on at the mountaintop.", Hyunwoo said to her.

Soon, Junaid showed up holding a torch and gave the people that were on the bench torches.

He told them to follow him to the mountaintop, to which they all agreed.

Upon arriving at the mountaintop, they saw a 5-member boy band performing their last song on an outdoor stage.

While everyone was waving their light sticks, one of the members of the boy band noticed Cherrypink and told her to come dance alongside him and his colleagues, to which she agreed to do so.

After their last song ended and the rest of his colleagues disappeared in the middle of the night, he introduced himself to her as Junho, and soon they began having a conversation with each other.

After their conversation was over, the two of them hid behind the stage to dress up as the weaver and cowherd.

Serika showed up and said to everyone "Attention everyone, our last show for this evening is the love story we've been all waiting for!", before continuing with "Here are our main stars for today's show, Orihime and Hikoboshi!"

Cherrypink and Junho walked on the stage, and bowed down to everyone before starting the show.

Towards the end of the show, the two of them faced each other in front of the virtual magpie bridge, holding each other's hands.

"I love you Orihime.", Junho said, while acting as Hikoboshi.

"I love you too, Hikoboshi.", Cherrypink responded, while also acting as Orihime, before kissing him.

Little did she know, he instantly fell in love with her and soon, everyone applauded them.

After they waved their audience goodbye and thanked Serika for the show, they removed their wigs and Cherrypink ran off from the stage, leaving behind one of her shoes.

Junho grabbed the shoe and chased her outside of the stage, running down from the mountaintop without holding a torch.

"Junho, let me help you find her!", Damien yelled, running after him as well along with Niels, Hyunwoo, Joakim, Yutaka and Yasmina.

"Guys, wait! What about me?", Junaid said while following the others.

While at the park, Cherrypink was still wearing her weaver girl costume and a white hijab, looking at the bamboo tree with everyone's wishes on it.

A few minutes later, the seven of them returned to the park, where they finally found her.

"Cherry, where have you been?", Junho politely asked her.

"I was just looking at one of the wishes that was on the tree, Jun.", she responded.

"Oh, okay. Well, before that, can you come take my hand?", he told her.

"Sure.", she said, before holding his right hand.

To their surprise and to everyone else's, Cherry and Junho began flying in the starry sky.

Meanwhile, while at the picnic bench, Damien looked at her sketchbook, and said "Well, I'm glad that she found her ideal boyfriend at last."

"Good for her. Let's watch their show anyway.", Joakim responded.

Suddenly, Junaid told the people on the bench that there's a strange star above the two flying lovers.

"Oh my god, what kind of star is that?!", Yutaka asked him.

"It's not a star, but rather a spatial battleship disguised as a star, that has the ability to destroy an entire planet with its own built-in railgun engines.", Junaid responded.

Everyone was shocked.

Yasmina said "Wait a second, Junaid... so that means we made a wish upon a Death Star?!"

"No, Yasmina, we didn't make a wish upon the Death Star. It was someone else who did it, not us.", Niels reassured her.

Back at the starry sky, Cherrypink told Junho "Run for our lives, Jun, there's a strange star above us."

"Really? You're right, Cherry. Let's run for our lives!", Junho replied.

The two of them flew above the strange star, before they saw an evil demon possessing Kamal's body.

"Oh my god... Kamal, are you okay?!", Cherrypink said to Kamal, in complete horror, while aiming her machete at him.

"Nice try, but I'm not Kamal, but rather, Firdaus.", the demon possessing Kamal said.

"Firdaus, why the hell are you on the Death Star?!", Junho yelled at him.

"I just came home from hanging a paper to this tree and at the same time, wishing upon the Death Star.", Firdaus said.

He continued with "Anyways, I'll let go of Kamal only if Cherrypink agrees to marry me."

"There's no way she's gonna marry a horrible person like you!", Junho yelled at him, before he and Cherry punched the demon in the face.

After getting punched in the face, Firdaus gets out of Kamal's body, revealing his true form as an evil demon with the demonic horns on the head of a human and the body of a horse.

"Thank you, guys! Can I join you guys in dealing with that demon who possessed my own body?", Kamal said to Cherrypink and Junho.

"Sure thing, Kamal.", the two of them nodded and said.

The three of them teamed up with each other and defeated Firdaus by throwing him into the battleship and they flew far away from the battleship.

"Goodbye, Firdaus!", Cherrypink said, before snapping her fingers, exploding the battleship, which took Firdaus with it.

Meanwhile, while in the park, everyone saw the fireworks and a few minutes later, Kamal safely descended to the ground.

After the fireworks ended, while in the sky, Cherrypink thanked Junho for saving her from Firdaus before hugging him in the middle of the Milky Way.

After they both hugged each other, they held hands and eventually, they descended to the ground as well.

"Congratulations on saving Sakurahama Island from the Death Star!", Yohana said to the two of them and Kamal while clapping her hands.

Afterwards, she gave them a medal.

Cherrypink said to Junho and Kamal "Thank you guys! Without you, I wouldn't be able to defeat Firdaus on my own."

"You're welcome, Cherry.", Junho and Kamal responded.

"How about we take a photo with each other to celebrate this legendary moment?", she said to them.

The guys nodded and they took a photo of each other.

"Anyways, everyone, it was nice to see you all in this place, as since I have other things to do with my life, I'm logging out, bye-bye!", she told everyone.

"Goodbye, Cherry!", everyone said.

"Wait! Before you go, can you give me a kiss?", Junho said to Cherry.

"Sure thing, Jun.", she said.

She gave him a goodbye kiss before logging out of the game for good.

Back in the real world, Cherrypink removed her VR headset and went outside to do some errands for her parents.

Upon getting out of the store and while on her way home, she saw a handsome man, who she had never seen before.

"Hello, what brings you here? Is that you, Junho...?", she said to the man.

"I came here just for you, and yes, I'm Junho, but my actual name is Hojun.", the man replied.

"Really?", she said back.

"Yes. Actually, I have something to tell you. Can you go out with me to eat something?", he politely asked.

"Sorry, but I have other plans.", she responded.

"I see, my bad. Can we exchange numbers so that I can take you out to have fun together next time?", Hojun told her.

"Yes.", she replied.

The two of them exchanged numbers and parted ways with each other.

3 days later, while at home, Cherrypink heard someone knocking from the door.

She then walks over to the entrance door, and opened the door, only to find Hojun waving at her.

"Cherry, would you like to go out with me?", Hojun said to her.

"Of course!", she replied.

Eventually, he grabbed her hands and they walked together at the same time.

"Hold on, where are we going next, Hojun?", Cherry said.

"We're going to have fun at the beach and see the ocean together!", Hojun told her.

And so, Cherrypink and Junho's love story begins...

THE END

YunokiRoom is now back

Hello, this is xciyuro.

Recently, as of July 7th, 2025, YunokiRoom is now back, instead of July 5th as originally planned, just in time for the Tanabata holidays.

The reason why the resumption date was prolonged was because of personal reasons and despite all this, we're now on summer vacation until August.

We deeply apologize for the delay and inconvenience this hiatus caused.

On the other hand, we're currently writing a new story called "Wish Upon a Death Star", which focuses on the main premise of Cherry's wish being granted in the unexpected way, and will be posted this week, along with the first episode of Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi.

That's all I have to say in this post for today, so stay tuned for more updates, be it "Wish Upon a Death Star", the first episode of "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi" or not!

Temporary Hiatus Announcement

Hello everyone, this is xciyuro, the creator and owner of the doujinshi circle YunokiRoom.

Thank you for your continued support of the YunokiRoom project.

I know this announcement might come as a shock, but sadly, this is something important that is beyond my control.

Recently, due to personal reasons related to school exams, starting from today, YunokiRoom will be on a hiatus until July 5th.

Don't worry, although I won't be disappearing completely, I'll still be active on social media while continuing to draw art throughout this brief hiatus.

Again, we thank you for your understanding and patience.

Until then, see you all soon next time!

June Character Introductions

Hello everyone, it's been a month since the last character introductions. 

This time and exceptionally, although I have an oral exam on July 4th, I have four new characters that I would like to introduce beforehand, that are collectively known as the "Team ChDaSoNa", after the first two letters of their names.

However, three of them are female characters while one of them is a male character, so let's introduce them right away.

1) Cherrypink (June 4th, 2025)

"I like art."

A cherry ice-themed VTuber from a small island in the Indian Ocean, who is completely different from the mysterious entity Yara. 

Unlike her, she is a normal high school student from a small town somewhere in France, who has a passion for art and dreams of becoming an graphic designer.

Prior to her reincarnation as Cherrypink, she was originally known as Raouiya, who despite coming from the same background as Yasmina, is a jack of all trades when it comes to languages, art, math, music and sports. 

6 months prior, she was the person and voice behind the completely different VTuber called "Itosugi Yunoki", who has retired from VTuber activities 10 days prior to Cyclone Chido due to targeted harassment by a self-centered pathological liar.

One day, she woke up in a strange dimension, where she accepts the jinn's quest to save Raisa from Shaytan's curse.

2) Damien (June 6th, 2025)

"Hello, the name is Damien."

A young man from Siberia, who has known Cherrypink online for 6 years.

Originally hailing from a small village in eastern Siberia, he was originally known as Andrei, who relocated to Murmansk with his parents and his older sister Svetlana due to his father's job, until they headed to neighboring Norway on a truck for better living conditions.

It was there that he became known under the nickname of Damien, and lived a supposedly normal life and got along with his new neighbors throughout his elementary school years, that is, until he had to move again, this time to France after his parents' divorce in 2019.

6 years later, upon getting home from high school, he played a game on his laptop and got transported into the same world as his long-time friend, where he accompanies her in her quest to save Raisa from Shaytan's curse.

3) Soyun (June 12th, 2025)

"I'm here for you."

A mysterious wanderer from central Sunset Beach, who is said to have a legendary sword known to have the strength and power comparable to that of Hiram's sword.

Prior to becoming a wanderer, she lost her entire family at a young age due to the persecution of the Korean-speaking community in central Sunset Beach, which she was a part of, by a tribe led by Shaytan.

One day, she found a legendary sword in the grasslands near a forest, and learned swordsmanship from Acacia. 

At one point, she nearly died near a lake in Al-Thalj, when she became very close with Araba after he came over to heal her wounds.

Soon, they began travelling across Al-Thalj and made good memories, until they retaliated against Haidar's doomsday cult who ambushed them in Balthazar, with Kiefer's help. 

Not long after Haidar's demise, his younger brother Kazim developed a deep hatred for them and vowed to avenge him, but it was already too late, as Araba ended up sacrificing his veil to save Soyun's life before ultimately perishing in front of her, who managed to defeat Kazim by using taekwondo.

After Araba's demise, she became depressed, and eventually, she began wandering on her own with no one else to rely on, that is, until several years later, she stumbled upon a portal, where she joined Cherrypink and Damien in their quest to save Raisa, with the sole purpose of taking revenge on Shaytan for persecuting her own community and to avenge Araba.

4) Nasrin (June 16th, 2025)

"Leave everything up to me!"

A young and modest woman in her late teens, who loves gothic things and occultism.

She is the eldest daughter of three siblings, consisting of her older brother Hisham 3 years her senior, her and her younger sister Jamila 2 years her junior.

Originally from Libya, she grew up in an dysfunctional family, where her father Hamid used religion as an excuse to abuse her mother to the point where her parents got divorced in 2014 after Hisham threatened to take his frustrations out on his sister Jamila. 

After her parents' divorce, she moved to a rough neighborhood in Sicily with her mother and younger sister Jamila.

5 years later, she became close friends with Alvaro, the son of a former mafia member, who introduced her to the goth subculture and occultism, and remained close in high school, until they parted ways with each other in 2022 after she moved out of Italy to live in France with her family for her high school years.

3 years later, after graduating from high school, she received a call from the police that her older brother Hisham was arrested for abusing his girlfriend the same way their father did to their mother, before minding her own business as usual.

That is, until one day, she woke up in an strange dimension, where she saw Cherrypink, Damien and Soyun riding on a winged unicorn, with Soyun telling her to join them to save Raisa from Shaytan, to which she agreed.

That's all I have to say about these 4 new characters for today. 

Stay tuned for the next post from us, as I'll still continue to update you all next time, even after the exam is over!

UPDATE (as of July 2nd, 2025):

2 weeks later, a new character is here this week, so let's introduce him right away.

5) Junaid (June 30th, 2025)

"Hello, but wait, who am I...?"

A mysterious creature from a faraway place within the sky, with the ability to transform into a human male.

However, for some reason, he fell into the human world, with no memories of his own, where he ended up crashing out at Cherry's house in his human form.

Soon, he began learning all sorts of knowledge by constantly studying alongside her, with the purpose of knowing about everything in this world someday.

One day, while in the strange dimension, he joins her group, with the goal of getting revenge on Shaytan for betraying him and turning him into a beast.

That's all for today!

Introducing Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi (formerly Stories from Mayotte)

Remember "The Erasmus Experience" and "One Night in Stockholm"? 

For those who don't remember, these two completely different stories served as prologues to a new project that was originally known as "Stories from Mayotte", which has been in the works for 2 months, since March of this year.

Besides the other projects that I've been working on for a long time, this project, which is now known as "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi" (meaning "Clear Dawn Stories" in the Swahili language) primarily focuses on a combination of actual true stories originating from my home island of Mayotte and from other countries around the world, and mostly fictional stories based on my own anime-inspired universe. 

However, unlike the ending in One Night in Stockholm, where Yara and her boyfriend Lael will talk about various stories throughout their countryside vacations primarily through oral tradition, "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi" will focus on the perspective of a new female protagonist named Yasmina, who is the eldest daughter of a family of farmers-turned-teachers. 

Also, here are the descriptions of some of the characters that'll be appearing in "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi".

1) Yasmina

The eldest daughter of a family of farmers-turned-teachers of mixed Swahili descent, who goes to the same high school as Yara and her friends Bruno and Yatomi. 

Unlike others around her, she is very passionate about the world, art, languages and literature to the point where she's still trying her best to care about the people around her and likes to tell a variety of different stories from various places around the world.

2) Kenan

An university student, who has known his former neighbor Yara since childhood.

Growing up, their parents have known each other, and they had both made a promise to marry and live with each other when they became adults, but sadly, he moved far away to study in Metropolitan France after graduating from high school, and she hasn't seen him since.

2 years later, he moved back to his home island, where he continued his journey as a work-study student and started working a side job as an English teacher online.

Anyways, "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi" will have a variety of different characters other than Yasmina and Kenan, and will be focused on telling different and relatable stories.

However, before we end our post, I would like to share the good news that I officially got permission to stream on RPLAY after almost 2 years! 

Although it's only a matter of time before the current school year ends in July, I'll continue to update you all from time to time while waiting for the main internet services to be repaired and restored.

That's all I have to say for today, so stay tuned for more information about "Hadithi ya Alfajiri Safi"!
