Things I have no business writing about: parent and child relationships. I don’t know, Jam in the Band is certainly guilty of being a masked autobiography. But it’s a part of my life I am comfortable writing about. My 20′s I understand. And people in their 20′s I kind of get, enough to write about them I think. But adolescence, or childhood. I don’t want to touch these subjects with a ten foot pole. Even if everyone is always reminding me that the real money these days is in YA books.
So let me ask you then. Who do you think the ideal audiance for something like Jam in the Band is? Is it people in their 20′s? Girl in their 20′s? Maybe even younger as something to look up to? People who enjoy Ai Yazawa,’s Nana?
I sometimes describe Jam in the Band as Nana, but told from Nana Osaki’s point of view. I don’t know. I just made the sort of comic I would want to read. Maybe the only real audiance is myself them.
