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!
