Participated as a guest in “Kodaira OPEN STUDIO 4” and produced a small booklet titled The Day When Even the Cessation of Deciding Not to Say Things, True or Not, Comes to an End (300 yen).

As the title itself suggests, the work explores forms of negation in language, such as “is not ...” and “there is no ...”. It takes the form of texts and four-panel manga presented in alternation. The short, gag-like texts and the four-panel manga develop in relation to one another through their shared theme of negation.
