TFW No GF
Born from the internet, the phrase "TFW No GF" was originally used online to describe a lack of romantic companionship. Since then, it has evolved to symbolize a greater state of existence defined by isolation, rejection and alienation. The meme's protagonist, "WOJAK," has become the mascot to a vast online community consisting of self-described "hyper-anonymous twenty somethings" and "guys who slipped between the cracks." TFW No GF asks: How has the zeitgeist come to bear down on a generation alienated by the 'real world'? Meet the lost boys who came of age on the internet- places like 4chan and Twitter, where they find camaraderie in despair.
Chatting with Creatures
Adaptation of Takayuki Mizushina's Kemono to Chat (Chatting with Creatures) 4-panel manga. The story centres on Chacha Kenomoto, a high school freshman girl who can understand the language of cats and speak with them.
