some concepts! was so lucky to come back around for KDA, these are the culmination of many artists ideas and designs. these concepts were the consolidation pass of many of our early ideas for Eve and Kai'sa when we got them more finalized. we put so much work and love into this!
MAGICA is an *intense* first manga project for an editor new to the medium!
so would Maaya Watanabe want to do it again?
Q. Since this was your first manga, would you like to work on more manga in future? What sort of projects interest you?
Maaya Watanabe: "I want to continue working on manga projects.
"Precisely because we live in an era where so many works can be easily read online, I aim to create books where the experience of reading on paper holds special significance.
"I want to produce works that people will want to keep close at hand—focusing not only on the story itself, but also on elements like the tactile feel of turning the pages and the overall design."
if you want to enjoy the tactile elements of a print copy too, the English versions of MAGICA are online and in bookstores now~!

I’m planning to create a set of four K/DA-themed cards. I managed to find some time today to sketch them out, so I’m sharing those for now; I’ll work on rendering and finishing them whenever I have more time later.🔥
