One thing I can promise you all is that I will fix the English version after I fix every pages of each chapters of MAKINA: CYBERNETIC GIRL. If possible, I migh also compile the pages I've done into a book for the English version too.

But right now, I need to focus on the Japanese version first. And I know what you're thinking. "Oh my God! You're a @$#%ing Weeaboo!" or "#$@^ing Weeb!". Well, that's not the case. To be honest, more people read the Japanese version than the English version. So Japanese first, in this case.

I must apologize for the rush when I worked on the English version for MAKINA: CYBERNETIC GIRL every month. Because every month, I need to work on the Japanese version first. And every month, I need to do other things like work, chores and some errands. That is why after I work on each and every chapters every month, I can come back to them later to rework. To be honest, I never wanted to work on the English version so soon because I want to focus more on the Japanese version first. But the thing is, I also want to share my works with English speakers everywhere.

Originally, my character, Makina Akiba, was part of THE MAKINA PROJECT since 2012. Until I've retired the project back in 2015. It was for Comic Fiesta back in Malaysia. People stopped caring in Malaysia back in 2014, so I have no choice but to pull the plug on the previous manga series, MAKINA AKIBA: THE CYBERPUNK GIRL. Back then, I worked on the English version first. But since THE MAKINA PROJECT got retired back in 2015, MAKINA AKIBA: THE CYBERPUNK GIRL also got cancelled. And with that, works for the Japanese version got cancelled. With no budget for printing, there's no point in continuing.

So later on, I've found a solution. Instead of spending money printing and selling at events or conventions, I might as well just make web comics or web manga. However, I have to censor my works, so that I can upload my works without problems. So if anyone wants to see the complete and uncensored works, they just need to give support on Patreon. Also the same if anyone wants to read the definitive version or the fixed version of my works. Because doing comics or illustrations is not easy. Even artists need to make money. But hey. On the bright side, you can read the censored version of my works for free. Since everyone wants to read comics for free.

Well, I don't actually know whether anyone reads this message or not. I also don't care about haters so... I only care for those who cares anyway.
