Anonymous asked:

Are there ghosts in other parts of the world, too, or just in the country where Santa Luison is located?

Officially the entire ghost population lives within the city area since it’s the only place in the world they’re legally allowed to! Leaving the city is permitted for a limited time (for work purposes); leaving the country is not. The government takes these measures to prevent the virus from spreading further

That said, a few adventurous types have attempted to sneak out into neighboring countries but it has never ended happily. If/when they get caught the punishment is harsh on either side of the border :’)

Where does Cypress receive the money to pay the worker's salaries, living and all the needed equipment? Are they government-sponsored or something else?

The government funds Cypress via the regular police force which commissions them to handle their more demanding/dangerous tasks; most of the salaries come from there. There are some investors as well, for example medical companies that are interested in the virus.

Thanks though! I appreciate these sort of questions because they force me to think a little :)

Not sure how many seasons the city has but I guess a proper winter wouldn’t hurt

A question for Chie: Why do you wear your hair in twin-tails? Ever considered image change, like ponytail, braids, or haircut?

A thought just struck me. If two ghosts get together and *ahem* do that, will their child be a ghost too?

Oh that?

Nah, babies don’t happen. The virus makes you infertile

Do you know sci-fi game series called Mass Effect? If you have any interest in sci-fi, I recommend checking it out, the world's really deep and well planned. Also, I think that the krogan race would make worthy opponents for Jon, since they, too, are aggressive, brutal fighters.

I’m super picky with shooters and tend to prefer console games, but other than that I’ve been sorta interested in Mass Effect. Romancing aliens seems pretty cute :’) Maybe someday…

That last sentence though

How many copies of each Phantomland issue have been printed?

Sorry, I prefer to keep the numbers to myself :’) Not that it’s a huge secret or anything but I just don’t see a benefit to sharing that stuff

That said I’m running out of vol.1’s and plan to make a reprint soon

(Though what do I know maybe Chie is passionate about ponies)

Judging from the way the criminals that Jon and Chie have encountered have acted towards them thus far (calling them freaks and corpses), it seems to me that ghosts are often looked at with fear and repulsion from the normal people.

That is correct!

One of the major themes in the story will be the tension between two groups. The general public fears and hates the ghosts for a good reason, but there are also benefits to having them around. Most of the main characters work towards changing/improving the situation or plan to escape it altogether; time will tell who succeeds and who doesn’t :)

When is the 4th volume of phantomland coming out? I miss Jon, want to see him be badass! Also, really looking forward to see how the story develops from where it was left off at the end of vol. 3! Ps. I love the funnies :'D

I aim to have it printed for Helsinki comic fes which is next fall… but that’s the best case scenario really :-D

It’s hard to predict when I’ll have the next mental breakdown with the comic that halts my progress for weeks. #4 is a very dramatic and challenging chapter so there’s extra pressure not to screw it up!

In any case thanks for the encouragement! <3<3<3 I’m doing my best to make this worth the wait

Speaking of anime this is how it really should look :D
One of my favorite panels from chapter 3. I’m sorry I just love to do cheesy stuff sometimes

I had a dream where there was a Phantomland anime :—D It just sort of existed and nobody thought it was a big deal… The studio had taken a bunch of liberties with it, Chie looked like this and the story was molded to seem more like a run-of-the-mill...

I had a dream where there was a Phantomland anime :—D It just sort of existed and nobody thought it was a big deal… The studio had taken a bunch of liberties with it, Chie looked like this and the story was molded to seem more like a run-of-the-mill school anime. Looked a bit Kyoani style but really low budget ahaha

Jon had no change in design but he was acting like a terrible blushing tsundere (I blame suspu and ered)
