Dear readers,

I don’t know how many people are still keeping an eye on this little profile, but I wanted to try and put my feelings into words here.

I’m currently on vacation in Greece, and I honestly thought I was going to fall off my chair when I got the news at the beginning of last week that Tapas is shutting down. 😭 It’s just unbelievably sad. Why does it always have to happen to the good ones?

I have nothing but love for Tapas. The team was always kind, supportive, and hardworking. The community was loyal, thoughtful, intelligent, and empathetic. Honestly, I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do without Tapas. Of course Webtoon is still there, and I love my Webtoon community just as much. But the PLATFORM itself feels completely different. Over there, I always have this feeling that if I make one wrong move, they’ll delete my series. 💀 Maybe that fear is exaggerated, but that’s genuinely how it feels. It’s not even remotely comparable to Tapas.

And thank you so much to everyone who passed their last Ink on to me. I just checked and got so emotional seeing all the messages and how much Ink was waiting there for me. Thank you, guys. You’re so sweet!!! 😭

So, what happens now?

Depending on how long Tapas continues to exist - and keeps functioning normally??? - I’ll keep posting here too. One last concert on the Titanic! All the way!

Otherwise, you can of course find me on Webtoon. I also have my own Patreon-connected webcomic site, webcomic.melanieschober.at, where you can read black & blue almost completely for free. The only exception is the sex scenes, which have to stay behind a paywall for age-protection reasons.

And I’ll also look for another platform where I can upload the comic. I don’t know which one yet. I’ll figure that out once I’m back home.

Thank you again for everything. I’m going to miss you all so much.

Hopefully we’ll find each other again on one platform or another!

Your MAUS! ♥

I started reading on Webtoon before moving here, so you can find MAUS! there.

Hi Oyasumi! ❤️

As Arabelle already mentioned: yes, you can read my comic on WEBTOON! But I also have my own webcomic homepage —-> webcomic.melanieschober.at and that is also connected to patreon. But you can read most of the story for free there! 🥰

I‘ll also look at alternatives to have at Lesers second platform for the comic, but I still don’t know where to go, tbh. 😭 I’m currently on vacation in Greece, but as soon as I’m home I‘ll try to find a second home and will inform you guys about it! ❤️

Guys, today's episode will come out TOMORROW. I attended a convention (our booth + my boyfriend can be seen in the image below :D) last weekend that slightly threw off my schedule. :,D
So: Tomorrow will be b&b day this week! <3

Hi Maus my name is Alice(#Ayumichi) I'm part of a fan page (BL Comic Fansub)that translates comics into Brazilian Portuguese, I'm a big fan of your work and I've been following you since forever, I always wanted to ask you permission to translate Black n Blue into Brazilian Portuguese, but I knew that there was another Fan page doing that, however, they closed back in 2021 and since then they haven't been active, so I'm here asking you permission to translate Black n Blue. If you allow us we'll be posting on Facebook for starters, but we are working on creating a website to post all the comics we have permission to translate.
Here is the link to our page https://www.facebook.com/BLComicsFansub
and I want to emphasise that we just translate with the author's authorisation and that that is fan-to-fan work so we don't make any money from it.

Hey, my lovelies!

I just wanted to let you know, that I'm very grateful for the ink y'all are sending me on a regular basis! TuT <3
For a very long time I tried to reply to every single message, but lately I didn't find the time to do that anymore. T___T I'm so sorry!
But please be assured, that I still read every single of your messages and I'm very grateful for every drop of ink you give to me!

Thank you for supporting me so faithfully!

Luv y'all!

MAUS!

Dear black & blue readers,

as it seems there is a bug within the early access episodes that leads to scene 7.16 being skipped when clicking on the "next" button. :/
The tapas-team is currently working on resolving that issue. So please don't be confused if you can't read the episodes you bought atm. It shouldn't take too long. :3

Thank you for your understanding! <3
