First of all, we need to tell you guys that we had a screw up on the site over the weekend and if you requested the Yuki/Alex backstory Thurs-Monday last week, you need to resubmit! Sorry about that.

We were at both Megacon and Katsucon this weekend and had a bunch of people stop by the booth! Thank you all for visiting us and for your kind words! You make doing the comic so rewarding.

Sorry we weren’t able to get you guys a new comic page last Friday but with two cons to get ready for, we just didn’t have the time. It’s going to be a busy month for us from here on in and sadly, after this Friday we’ll have to take a brief hiatus while we make our move up to San Francisco. The good news is, we’ve got some guest art lined up from some VERY talented people to hold you over through the two weeks while we relocate.

We were recently lucky enough to participate on the podcast run by our very good friends at Supaa Kaizoku Cosplay! For those of you who complain at us in the LiveStream for leaving the mic off, here’s an opportunity to listen to us rant endlessly with the added bonus of a little too much booze. (Don’t drink and podcast, kids.) With our friend Astel, we talk about our experience on the cosplay circuit (yeah, we used to do that. A LOT.) and about the origins of Shounen Fight and its process. Thanks for having us on, Kaizokus! You can listen to our madness here.

And lastly, in spite of having to miss last week’s page we did put up a new voting incentive on TWC and we’ll have another this friday with the new page.

It’s that magical time of year again, where people appreciate love or their sickened bitterness about the people appreciating love. To celebrate, we’ve got some extra content for you guys!

<
No, ‘extra goodies’ isn’t the title. But these ARE some extra goodies for our readers! We’re happy to release an illustrated short story to give you the lowdown on how Alex and Yuki met. This is something that will remain available indefinitely but we ask you do us a favor in return! You can get this extra story by giving a permanent link to MahouShounenFight.com on your web page, blog, LiveJournal, Tumblr — even your signature on a forum! As long as it’s a link that will stick somewhere, you can use this form to show us where the link is and we’ll send you a message with the story which includes three illustrations.
Enjoy your holiday or your disgust!

Thank you all so much for the voting you’ve done for us on TopWebComics both last month and now in February! It’s the second day of the new month and you’ve managed to keep us on the front page! This is really great for us, because it means more people will see our comic and maybe click the link back to our site to check it out. For those of you who follow us on twitter, Facebook, or DeviantArt, you’ve already heard us mention the new incentive picture that’s up on TWC right now when you vote. Well, today is the last day you’ll be able to see that image (it’s of Raji and Oliver bein’ cute!) because when we upload the new page on Friday, we’ll be updating the incentive image to give you guys something new! So if you haven’t seen the Raji and Oliver pic yet, GO VOTE HERE NOW! And remember, you can vote for us once a day. We’re also considering updating the incentive art more often so that you’ll get to see a new picture twice a week instead of just once. Hopefully that’ll be something to tide you over while you wait for the next comic page now that we’re updating the comic only once a week. Thanks, everyone! Thank you for reading Mahou Shounen Fight, for sharing it with your friends, for commenting and favorite-ing and following and voting and just being all around awesome. You really keep us going.
