I'm a horrible person. I'm glad you're doing better and hopefully you are still in a good and healthy place; but it's really hard for me to be patient for something I enjoy so much. If you should decide that it is much too difficult to continue drawing this manga, for your mental and emotional healthy then please do so. I'd rather you go on in life happy and healthy then to relive your demons by drawing it out for the entertainment of others. However, since I am still a horrible person, I wonder if you'd be willing to release the rest of the story as a novel since it's already written out? I mean I still wish you the best in all around health and happiness, but I'm still a selfish person who wishes to know the rest of the story. Sorry if this causes any unnecessary stress or anything.

Hello everyone. I've tweeted a few things that I think I should also share here since not everyone is following me on twitter.
I created Noisome in the (so far) darkest time of my life. I have no intention to leave the project unfinished, but I do need to allow myself to work on some wholesome content. I love that webcomic, but I wrote it when I was in a terrible place. I'm not there anymore.
Reminds me of things that I was going through at the moment of writing the story. I used it to escape what was happening around me. To cope.
I need to be able to leave that behind me, and I guess that's why it's taking me so long to update with new pages even if the story is written and ready to be drawn.
I apologize for keeping readers waiting like that. It's hard to talk about these things.
I wish to keep creating comics, drawing, writing, doing what I love. Last year was terrible, but also amazing. I've learned so many things about myself, about the wonderful people around me, about letting go what was killing me.
NOISOME will officially go on hiatus one more time. I apologize. I didn't want to admit that I need to say it (write it?) out loud. But it's only Noisome, not me. I'm finally drawing and having fun again, I'm falling in love with what I do, once again.
Please follow me on my twitter and/or instagram for more updates.
Thank you for understanding.
Love, V.

Congratulation for getting your inspirations and joy back, Vincente-san! Ii'm honestly not disappointed that Noisome is on hold, since you're happy and having fun again with drawing, and that's a fair trade and the best thing I can ask for for my favourite creator. Do you plan to post other project on Tapas, too?
Don't worry about it dear. You don't have to apologize for anything. It's good to see that you're out of that state of mind and your happiness is all that matters. I hope too see more of your lovely work filled with passion very soon. If not here, somewhere else. ;3
I fell in love of your art, your storytelling, your ideas first and after, the story and your characters; the stories good or better than that are coming and going all the time but your charms, your skills and your style is permanently there, in evolution and changes but there because is you. If the story still hurt I'm sure you already know what or when you will be doing something about reading your comment just now. Glad to hear you are in a better place where you realize so many things about the story and yourself that bring you more joyful moments, we as readers only can wait patiently for this circle to close and be very excited for the stories from the amazing you to come. Un gran abrazo.
I wanted to let you know that I will be hosting a 2 week-long pun contest, and wondered if you were interested in participating. It starts on the 24th of January, with episode #52. Episodes will be uploaded everyday at the same time.
I only have two rules: 1. be subscribed to my series, and 2. send me all your guesses by episode #66, as that is the last episode of the contest. I have more information about the contest on my wall, which can be reached here: https://tapas.io/woolongramen
Looking forward to seeing you! I hope you will join in the fun!
Hello everyone.
I'm okay, getting back on track.
I had to undergo a second surgery about a month after the first one, stuff happened, I wasn't in a good mental place for a few months until I finally managed to find a good physical therapist and things started getting better. I don't wanna talk much about it, so this post is basically a tl;dr. I'm really sorry for not saying anything here until now, but it was too frustrating to find myself unable to do what gives me happiness. Healing process has been tough, but I'm good. I'm good now.
I've been posting on my social media accounts (twitter, facebook, instagram) a lot, though. You can always find me there. I was planning on coming back when the new chapter was done, but then I realized that wasn't gonna do any better since I can't push it that much either, and of course, I don't wanna wait until an actual entire year passes to post new pages. I'm also kinda insecure since my art has evolved (as it's supposed to) and again, pages are gonna look different from past chapters. It's gonna be a very weird book once the 1st volume it's printed, lol. Sorry about that, I really hope you don't mind it so much.
Thanks for 12k subscribers! Thanks for staying, for commenting, for liking, for caring and just reading my webcomic. I appreciate it so so so much, you have no idea. I'll do my best to show my appreciation to you guys.
Please follow me on twitter for updates at @mafia_ossan.
welcome back!! It's totally fine, don't worry about it. I doubt I could ever dislike your art, especially when it evolved. I look forward to new chapter so much
I'm glad you are back now and you are feeling better! And don't worry,i bet that your artstyle,has it changed or not will still be beautiful. Good luck with everything and don't push yourself
Hello hello!
I'm not dead, I just have back problems, haha! I'm starting to get back on track after a few weeks of being unable to do much. My lumbago crisis is going away and I'm getting better after a couple of shots 👍.
So I'm back to work on pages, of course.
Here's my latest NOISOME artwork, a bigger version is up on my twitter page https://twitter.com/Tatouji
Thanks for supporting my work!

Much better! I'm still taking medication and being careful because I can't wear things that are too tight on the hips, but besides that I'm doing pretty good, thanks for asking!
I get a lot of messages requesting permission to translate Noisome but I'm currently busy preparing for AX and also working on the next update so I barely looked at all the messages, my apologies!
First of all, thank you very much for your interest in translating it, I think it's amazing that you want to do so!
I wanted to write this message as a general reply to everyone interested in translating Noisome that I have not yet replied in a previous occasion:
YES, you can translate it.
There are only a few things I request to allow translations:
-Please do not modify my artwork.
-Please do not change the intention. Choose the right words.
-Please let me know that you translated my work, share it with me.
-Please credit WITH link to the original.
I do not recommend messaging me here since I don't get notifications from Tapas, therefore, I do not login in here often. If you want to contact me, a message on Noisome's FB page, my fb page (tatouji) or even twitter will do it.
Links are listed on the left side of my profile (at least on web version)
<-----
That's it for now.
Thanks for reading and supporting my work, it means the world to me!

I finally bought a laptop so I'm back to work. I'm currently in Los Angeles staying at a friend's place while preparing for AX (my table is H03). I'll try to update Noisome asap.
Sorry for not replying to your comments and messages, I'll do it as soon as I have the time.
Thank you so very much for 7k subscribers!
And of course thanks for your patience!
Hello.

We would like to translate it in Italian and load it in our Facebook page, if you give us your permission.
Obviously, we will give you credits :)
We will wait for your answer.
