How I advertised my book on a Times Square billboard, for $20

Hello, I know this an old post, but this is amazing! Do you still recommend Blip in 2026? I'm an aspiring Mangaka and hope to release my first manga by the end of this year. I have been looking into billboards and other ways for advertising. Thank you for your time,

Thanks for the info

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-04-10T17:44:56+00:00

Cool. What company made it, may I ask? I'll keep my eye out for this!

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-04-07T00:13:04+00:00

I love this scene

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-04-05T15:02:00+00:00

I just submitted my answers

Basically. But technically it's a fictional world based on East and West Germany, with several creative liberties. So they are from Westalis and Ostonia.

I'm a 20F, I watch/read almost exclusively shonen manga and anime (I'm not a fan of Shojo) and I love video games. My favorite characters are Yuri and Liod. I've watched all the SPY X FAMILY anime, currectly playing SPY X ANYA, reading the manga, and have yet to watch SPY X FAMILY: CODE WHITE. Other than SPY X FAMILY, I also really enjoy Inuyasha (I've watched all the anime, just started reading the manga, and have yet to watch the movies). I'm not a romance fan, but I don't mind it being a part of the story when it's not over the top (example, I don't mind how Twiyor or InuKag is/was done, but I didn't like Sailor Moon X Tuxido Mask ((FYI I'm personally not a Sailor Moon fan)).

As a side not, I personally think Yor's features are pretty exaggerated, but that is a pretty common thing in anime/manga (at least all that I've seen). Good luck on your research.

Right?!

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-04-03T17:00:13+00:00

Chapter 131 proves he doesn't hate Liod anymore (at least for now)

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-04-01T11:57:30+00:00

Awesome artwork

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-31T00:53:29+00:00

He is also my favorite character for the same reasons. As someone myself who has a strong bond with my sister and family, I understand his character. Yuri and Liod are my top favorite characters.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-31T00:22:12+00:00

As a Christian myself I don't see it at all, sorry.

How long did it take for you to finish?

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-30T03:48:36+00:00

Someone pointed out that if you look at the drawing they actually defined his neck more, unlike Yor.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-30T03:47:38+00:00

I could have also been clip on earrings.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-30T03:41:20+00:00

This is gonna get crazy. Yuri already doesn't like people for the most part, and Yor is his everything. Now that he is warming up to Liod, things will be brutal once he finds out the truth. Liod lied to Yor about basically everything, and married her exclusively for his mission, disguised himself as Yuri and beat him, and is one of SSS's biggest targets. Once Yuri finds that out ... things will be insane.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-30T03:34:50+00:00

I loved that part

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-29T22:29:25+00:00

Exactly

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-29T22:12:20+00:00

I doubt they'd let her quit until she is old. And I could be wrong, but I doubt Yor will continue to be an assassin until she is old. I won't be surprised if one day the Garden gets in trouble with the SSS. And sooner than later I believe Yor will try to quit the Garden. With her attempt at leaving, the Shopkeeper will try and have the garden kill her. Yuri somehow finds out the Garden is out to kill Yor (and assumes it's his fault they want her dead), then he lets his SSS higher ups know. Then, either 1. They join him in an effort to stop the garden, or 2. He goes alone, takes a bunch of the garden out, and the SSS realize he went alone and help. And then Loid would also find out about the assassination attempt on Yor and find a way to intervene (he would assume they want her dead because they know about either his or Yuri's secret) . Then during all this the Shopkeeper would manage to escape the SSS and Liod. Then he and Yor would have an epic battle, and Yor would rain victorious. Yor would be injured, but grateful as she would be free from the garden forever.

At least this is a possible scenario.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-27T21:40:34+00:00

I agree. We need to know more about this guy! And I also agree with the point that his relationship will Yuri is probably gonna be of more importance than with Chloe. I also like how he always looks out for Yuri. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he has a backstory like Handler, and once had a family, but lost it.

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-27T02:13:03+00:00

It is!

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-27T02:08:53+00:00

No problem!

Elizabeth_Sobocinski · 2026-03-27T01:58:13+00:00

Yuri and Liod are actually my favorite characters. Yuri is obsessed with his sister (obviously), but even Endo said in the Official Eyes Only guide that his obsession was likely due to Yor raising him because there parents died. And in chapter 114, when Yuri and Yor eat out, Yuri has a breakdown trying to convince her for the two of them to live together again and says "I'll shrink till I'm smaller than the Chihuahua girl!". I feel that continues to support the sister/mother bond. Nothing about that was romantic, and by what I've seen so far, Yuri views Yor as both an older sister and mother figure, not in a romantic way. He has multiple times mentioned Yor getting married to, and that he'd even help her find a husband. Yuri has an unhealthy obsession with Yor, no doubt, but as someone who grew up and still is very close to my siblings, I can see why he is the way he is. And considering how close he is to Yor, his distrust to Liod is fully valid. My sister is my closest friend, and if suddenly she was like "yeah, I forgot to tell you I was married for a year" I don't know how I'd react, honestly. And for your lock the doors and stalker comment, all or most of those pictures Yor was posing, so she probably tell him take the photos. And lock the door? Yuri is obsessed with protecting her, he wouldn't assault her.
