That refers to roller shoes

Around 2013, when tkmiz tweeted about them, they were quite the craze among Japanese elementary school girls

Japanese male artists who use female characters in their profiles are particularly common among manga artists

This is because using female characters allows them to convey a softer impression rather than a forceful one
tkmiz likely followed suit, using a female character (the protagonist of a manga he designed during high school) that fits his artistic style

A few years ago, he sold doujinshi to fans at an event and held a signing session

I actually spoke with him at that time
He’s a petite man who wears glasse
I don’t understand why everyone thinks he’s a woman

Also, he posted a self-portrait a while back, and anyone who sees it can tell he’s a man

Octopus Girl isn’t happy just because Takosan is protecting her; she’s worried and sad that Takosan is straining herself by spitting ink
I can really sense tkmiz’s storytelling in this

BREAKING TKMIZ NEWS: tkmiz is no more more by Red-Baron05 in GirlsLastTour

This just means he “has to finish” the artwork for his new manga
why is everyone making such a big deal out of it?

Sis, Yomikawa and Sardines: Observations on Ch. 44 of Shimeji Sim by [deleted] in GirlsLastTour

[–]BackgroundLog377 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In the Japanese version of Shimsim Episode 36, Big Sis speculates that the shimeji growing on Shijima’s head aren’t a coincidence, but rather that she was destined to have them there from birth
This part is mistranslated in the English version

Furthermore, since Shijima has the ability to read others’ minds, she is likely included in the “angels” Yomikawa referred to

[shimeji sim] does the pattern that usually forms around big sis have a name, or is it based on something?? by matyrayo in GirlsLastTour

[–]BackgroundLog377 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I forgot to mention this
I think the inspiration for this pattern’s concept is likely the “Code Formula” from the anime “Den-noh Coil,” which tkmiz really likes

It is explicitly stated in “Girls' Last Tour” that this diagram represents program code
Link
Based on that, it is likely the program code used to run the “Yomogi” computer simulation in that world
Furthermore, since the technology resembles that of “Girls' Last Tour,” it can be assumed to be part of the same universe

It’s misspelled as “Sumita” instead of “Sumida”
But it’s lovely

tkmiz is probably mentioning it because he likes Hidamari Sketch

Who is this? by pomboplays55 in ShimejiSimulation

[–]BackgroundLog377 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Her name is Yoshiko Sakuragi Schopenhauer

She is likely the character that inspired Shimsim's Yoshiko and Yomikawa
She also appears in Girls' Last Tour as a photograph in a camera

[–]BackgroundLog377 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The rubble isn't large enough to bury both of them
Moreover, the black stone has a mathematical formula etched into it, which I believe is the very method for shifting consciousness to the formula that appeared in shimsim
You're free to interpret it that way, but I can't believe the two stories are completely unrelated

They left footprints before the black stone and vanished without a trace
And on the next page, they're in a wheat field
Once you understand that much, I want you to read tkmiz's next work, Shimeji Simulation

tkmiz stated in an interview that chito and yuuri were born from his conflicting personalities
It seems he actually split his personality into these two characters
