Yo yo! Kido-san here! I've got some exciting news for you all!
After a wee bit of development hell, Part 1 of Academy Showdown Gaiden: The Barefoot Girl is finally finished and ready to export! Clocking in at approximately 40 minutes and 2 seconds, this story brings anime (and manga)-inspired storytelling to life in a way I’ve been dreaming of for years.
This short fantasy story—first written four years ago—is based on characters my brother, my best friends, and I have been brainstorming for over a decade. It’s part of a vast fantasy universe we started back in high school, though I’ve only been truly putting it all together for nearly eight years now.
There are still a few final touches before I can officially release it—most importantly, test screenings with my cast and creative partners. Since they’ve worked so hard to bring this story to life, it’s only right that they get to watch it first in its entirety.
Also, check out the official cover art of our titular character! This incredible piece was passionately drawn by my good buddy Ink Knight—as always, he perfectly captured my vision!
I can’t thank everyone involved enough for lending their voices, talents, and enthusiasm. Their support gave me the courage to see this project through. Now, I just have to do the same for Part 2 once this one is out! 😅
I'll give an official release date soon, til then, stay tuned for more updates!

This character, a blend of our favorite BlazBlue characters, was created and entrusted to me by one of my best friends, therefore she had to have the ideal voice. I'm pleased to report that we discovered that in Erin Knight. She nailed the character's airy yet mysterious essence right off the bat! I recently showed her work to my friend and he absolutely loved what he heard. 😊
I've still got a ways to go and there's also plenty that I need to fix (including some of my narration). There will be more samples to come as I progress further! 🚀

This story has been a decade in the making, from creating these characters with my brother and my high school Otaku Clubmates to now. The VAs have done an amazing job bringing these characters to life!
I'm halfway through—more to come! 🚀
