With DrunkDuck's recent escapades, you have NO idea how upset and disoriented that this happened on April 1st, when I WANTED to end the Season. Everything was planned out. And the minute I finish the comic and read to upload it, BAM. This happens. Seriously, I wanted to choke someone…

Warning: Huge image is huge.

This is it. The end of Season 1 of Toyroom SOS, and the beginning of my long-deserved break from this comic. I can now focus on art things and my own freedom. I feel happy and relieved.

This comic, while only 20 comics, has come a long way in my opinion. Every excruciating shot was done carefully to get the best quality as possible to make each comic. Scripting was thought up on the spot, as it always changed from the original script. The toys collected for this comic burned a huge hole in my wallet for the past year, but it was all worth it.

I owe all of this to Henshin Justice Unlimited, a website that introduced me to these figures and the fandom that these figures belonged to, DrunkDuck, the site that let me put up my comics, and Strain42, the comic artist known for his popular work, Persona 3 FTW. But most of all, I owe everything up to this point to my good buddy, The_Emperor. My dictator from north of the border has been with me since the very first comic with Kuuga and Black Rock Shooter, teaching me how to use Photoshop and helping me with the third comic. And even to the end, he added his own signature in the final panel of the comic: the door to the future. His works on HJU inspired me to start mine, furthered by Strain, and his support helped me successfully end Season 1.

To all of you, the readers, the community, my inspirations, and my one and only "aibou". Thank you so much for keeping up with me until now. I've had my share of troubles, my ups and downs, and I still managed to persevere. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I'll see you all again in Season 2!
