Who is Coffeesummit ?

Coffeesummit is a two-man e-book publisher that formed in Japan. They consists of illustrator Hiroshi Makise and translator Nozomu Saito. In 2010, they released their first manga with a character "Ariari" in the leading role. "Ariari" has been serialized in "Digital Magazine Torutaru" since 2012. One of their most important challenges at present is to multilingualize their work. Their latest works are "Kopi Nomunomun" and "Ariari The Data Tower".

What is Ariari ?

Ariari is my original character.
Ariari for me is an actor.
So, he plays a lot of different roles in my original stories.
For example, monster, spy, musician, and so on.

In these days of information technology,
I want to continue to create many stories based on
fantasy or horror themes.

Fontmonsters

A monster appeared on a board superimposed over an alphabetical letter.
A letter outline and a monster fit together to become something readable. I have captured such moments as illustrated fonts.

Hashtag Love

I started using hashtags because of Instagram.
Hashtags are really enjoyable and useful. Hashtags only have simple rules.
But we can obtain every piece of information and we can meet new people by using hashtags.
Hashtags are just like magic.
I drew illustrations of hash characters and clouds.

Kopi Nomunomun

Hana was interested in the dark black coffee with no milk. 
"Why don't you lick it!". 
The Kopi Nomunomun poking his face out of the coffee cup said. 
 
Hana's little adventure with curiosity and joy! 
Hope all adults can enjoy this story.
