There comes a time when even the best things must end.

Groundbreakers has been my home for half of the last decade and there really is no easy way to say this but here it goes.

I will no longer be a part of Mangaholix/Groundbreakers Inc. starting January 2012.

After making 7 magazines, organizing 3 major conventions, teaching in more than 3 dozen workshops, writing 2 indies and being a part of so many events, I'd like to say that this was one helluva ride.

It's been a privilege to work side by side with the most talented and professional individuals I've ever met. I will never forget what I've learned, what we've been through and what we stood for. Never stop pursuing your passion, never stop inspiring the people around you and never stop trusting your amazing talents.

I've enjoyed taking this awesome 5-year journey with all of you and I hope we cross paths again in the future.

I'd like to take this time to thank God, all of the artists, partners, sponsors, clients, fans and friends who made Mangaholix what it is today. You guys are truly an inspiration.

I'll be leaving the group in the very stable hands of my partner . He'll be in charge of this account and the Facebook account from now on.

This is Emmanuel Javier signing off.

"I really, really enjoyed the Kriss Sison's art work in AAJ. I thought it was definitely some of the best I have seen because his character depictions were just amazing. I loved how Sison so perfectly captured the the different personalities and expressions of the characters. The art was definitely one of the highlights of the entire manga, along with the storyline."

Mangaholix of the month




Define your art style:

My art style is… I really don't know what my art style is. I'm very confused about it really. I do both cell shading and semi-realistic coloring but I really want to focus on the latter. I got that style from my idol because I got inspired by his artworks. He taught me a lot of the techniques he utilizes. I tried to create my own art style based on what I learned from him and the other awesome artists I look up to.

What's it like working for Mangaholix?

It's like HELL!!! Haha! Just joking! It's really fun bullying Org—fun working in Mangaholix

What skills, styles and bad habits did you develop during your stay?

My inking, coloring, eating, stress and frustrations have improved a lot.

Just because it's question number 4: If you had to choose between the ability to draw and the ability to love, what would you pick?

Number 4… I really miss this number. I always thinking about this number. I really love this number. Well I'll choose to draw because you can wait for love but you can't wait for draw..

Why do you like the color yellow so much?

Color Yellow again… How many times I will say to you guys color yellow is not my favorite color!

Oh sorry, when you talk, we don't really listen so we'll assume your favorite color is pink. Speaking of pink, there's a rumor spreading that you like underage girls. We don't know who's spreading it *online cough* *online cough*. Would you like to comment on it?

I really don't know why she always teases me about that. I don't even tease her. Why? Why? Why?

Hidden desire we're guessing. Speaking of (Part 2) hidden deside, who's cuter or ? Why?

: is more cuter Because he's so cheeeessssssyyyyyyyyyyy… Kya!

If could only ask you one question for the rest of his life, what question would you choose?

…

Wow, that answer was so profound and universe shattering.  Speaking of (Part 3) universe shattering, who's more unreachable or ? Why?

I think it's … Even though he's my seatmate, I still can't touch him XD

Any advice for the people who want to join Mangaholix?

Be taller…

Quote of the interview: "You can wait for love but you can't wait for draw."
