Story x Story Rewind: Casual Conversations With Mikiko (Comics)

This week's episode is a rewind from our Studio77 show, Casual Conversations With Comic Creators. Each month, mayamada co-founder Nigel speaks to a different creator to discover their journey and showcase the human behind the art form we love. In this episode, Nigel was in conversation with Japanese manga creator and VTuber Mikiko for a one-hour Twitch livestream. The pair discussed Mikiko's journey from Japan to the UK, stereotypes of manga in the UK, and the debate around copyright and fan art. We also get a lesson on the rise of VTubing, and how it can release the mental strain of livestreaming on a regular basis.
