AKIKO

The spooky season is here...

and we prepared a very special video for you where you told us about the most spooky things you could imagine! Enjoy!

A rumble in the market...

and why is Elena so adamant in helping Iris at all? She's an unknown and small-time niche designer with no name to herself and unrealistic daydreams of grandeur. So why would an
Ex-Model Star of the largest luxury conglomerate ever consider such...

Is that a...

early look on the Dakimakura? Full art reveal soon so have a sketch!

More content coming soon I hope you are ready for the good stuff!

Lets talk about...

Tomboys and explain you their in's and outs!

Enjoy the video! :D

A look into the dreams of a crafty leopard...

and a little bit of context how our Illustrations play into the stuff happening "in-universe":

PIVOT is the prized fashion magazine Iris always wanted to land a feature in. As you may already guess: That's really hard, almost impossible even, ...

A whole lot about...

bunnies and their origins and the pop culture around them! Enjoy this extensive guide about what makes them rather special...

Have fun! :D

Oh? Who is that character?

You may have seen her appear in parts of our content. You may even know her name. And she will play quite an important role in the story. But for the ones who can't wait:

Lets say she's had a similar career path as the Japanese office lady who started this art trend with her photo a while ago, so we just had to join into it.

Enjoy an...

Feeling the consequences of her actions...

she wasn't ready at all.

Iris...

...has an important message.

Lets talk about Elves...

they're simply that magical! Hope you enjoy one of Akiko's favorite topics! See you again soon!

they're simply that magical! Hope you enjoy one of our favorite topics!

The turns table...

well well well. Things really kick off now and it seems like LaLuna was right about their suspicions: A small ember is still glowing somewhere, hidden within the underground. Spending light to a lucky few, who look forward to fuel its glimmer into a new flame.

New pages are up! Have fun and until soon!

It's your turn!

We've collected some nice titles for the LN but simply can't choose the best one!
Which one do you like the most?

We need as many votes as possible, so choose your favorite one! :D

So it begins...

and thank you very much for your patience, all the love and recent support :D
There's so many new faces, lets make sure you can enjoy your stay to the fullest!

The Akiko LN is now ongoing and will follow up from time to time for all cheerful supporters to see snippets and new chapters before the first volume is ready to be released in ...

Heidi goes on a tour...

after seeing a familiar face of a certain someone stepping into her precious limelight. Displeased to risk another scratch on LaLuna's perfect image: Ms. Ermel-Lino visits the heart of the independent artist scene in the hopes of finding something for her plan to shut down Project AKIKO once and for all and regain full control over the Luxury In...

In case you need...

a quick overview for one of the biggest Anime events around here, we have you covered with a definitive guide right in this Video. Enjoy! :3

Mirrorforce

...or a quick guide on how to ward off Vampires.

Did you like the comic? We're looking forward to make more of these little comics possible with an array of different artists to showcase their unique skills and bring PC's writing & designs alive! It all depends on how the support will turn out so these comics can finance themselves, ne...

An update:

First of all:
Thank you very much for each of your recent support and all the support over the last years! I'm sure you have read the last important announcement and I have refunded you according to it. I have yet to reach anyone at Patreon Support, but since nothing was resolved and all replies are automated and still without any indication ...

Going full creator mode with a twist...

here are some things we want to achieve putting out there regularly:

1. More entertainment based YouTube videos about Fashion, Europe and Anime.
I'm having a blast with creating videos and am looking forward to let Elena (and perhaps more characters :3) shine even brighter, now having more time to focus...

Fashion moves...

forward! Iris just achieved their first breakthrough and Pivot decided to go against their business partners demands stirring up the media outlets to give Elena her first appearance under her new Indie studio. Seems like they're looking to fight back against the smear campaign a certain director of the luxury conglomerate tried to lay out in the...

Sometimes...

...but only sometimes I feel a bit stupid. ( 〃▽〃)

Just like after finding out I accidentaly ordered the wrong camera model not too long ago. Yup you heard that right. The Eepy Sleepy Bunny video was indeed recorded with a new camera and the quality was AMAZING but we still had to send it back to get the correct one instead.

Wel...

Seeking a healthy balance

or better said: "How to keep MC, PC and the rest from overworking"

April was special... it was fun, it was successful but in between the rising workload and getting everything done that must be done on time, we slowly approached 70 hours a week.

Our families started to worry why we've all been dead silent, some of you Patrons wondere...

Summertime at the Seaside...

and thank you for a wonderful month and the big Easter celebration photoshoot. Preparing and managing this cosplay project while simultaneously creating our biggest Video production yet was a blast even if there was a lot of sleep lost along the way hahaha! xd

We're quite happy how everything turned out and hope that you have liked the fun...

What I love about AKIKO

We've heard something like "You look so happy in your photos" or "You can tell that you love your work" quite a few times now and I have to agree! I do love my work and I am really happy with how our project is coming along, it is great to see the process we've already made as a team.

Big things ahead!

...or behind?

As we already mentioned in an earlier post: We upgraded our backdrop to a huge 4x3 m exchangeable canvas! (￢‿￢ )

You asked to see it in action and here it is in all its glory plus a little preview of an outfit planned for a future big video! Well, or at least as much as my phone camera could capture, there was qui...

YouTube made me a student again...

...and I love it! (^∇^)

It may sound a bit weird at first, but let me explain!

Of course, we are mainly producing lighthearted entertainment videos and funny stuff but in our opinion it's still very important to be educated about the topic. It does mean that the production time can be a lot longer than just hitting the record butto...

The clash of Idols...

underdog vs. veteran... rising showstopper vs. performance master... The Idol of Fashion vs. The Queen of Music.... two virtual identities: Each experts on their own grounds to bring joy, move hearts and inspire you.

Who are you cheering for to cast a rolling thunder across the stage?

Upgrades people, upgrades!

FINALLY!

> that's what I thought when I saw the new backdrop we just installed in our studio. Well, you can't really call that monster a simple backdrop anymore. ﾟ(o￣▽￣o)

But let's start from the beginning, shall we?

Since our start a couple years ago we have always had a teeny tiny problem called "space". Not ...

Meeting AKIKO - a quick guide

Before and during Con season we get quite a few questions which events we will visit, if we'd be interested in a photoshoot or if we could consider holding a fan meeting at some point - the general answer would be: It depends. *＾ワ＾

Due to our growing workload, we decided to narrow our Con list down to a few favorites and try...
