this was my piece for the @knb10thannizine
The Generation of miracles finally meeting again as friends after Seirin’s victory in the winter cup! It always warms my heart to think that, after all the bad blood among them, they still grew back together as better people…even if it can be awkward at first.
All zines should have reached their destinations by now (and for that one returned package, it should be on its way back to you).
If for some reason you still haven’t received yours, please email knbanniversaryzine@gmail.com and include your Storenvy order number.
Here it is!
The full version of my piece for the Kuroko no Basket 10th anniversary zine called “After Game Reunion of Light and Shadow”!
I feel like I’m late to the party by revealing it just now I was travelling abroad and the internet just wouldn’t let me post it haha
Anyway! I hope you like/d it! I surely am happy with it! (Also a fun and nice look into my art style from a few months ago, I hope at least that I’ve improved since then~) I was excited after receiving the zine and seeing it inside (it sure was an amazing birthday present!) it was my first time participating in an event like that, of which I hope more will come along in the future!
Please check out the zine! It is really beautiful and well-made, and all contributors put in so much work in their pieces, as well as the team behind @knb10thannizine with the zine itself!
One can truly feel the meraki put inside it ♡
Look what came in the mail today~ my copy of “Reunion” from the @knb10thannizine !!
I’m really looking forward to reading and seeing all the amazing fan works included in the zine! The fan merch is also beautiful and the front and back cover is really awesome!
Kudos to everyone who made this zine possible and thank you all for your hard work~ Happy 10th Anniversary KNB
🏀❤️💛💚💙❤️💙💜💗🏀
I have nothing to say because you know how good the KNB Zine is .+:｡(ﾉ･ω･)ﾉﾞ
Here’s my piece for the @knb10thannizine. A huge thanks to the mods who hosted this project. I had a great time working on this. I hope y’all enjoy this. ^^

Title: Immortal for a Limited Time [AO3 Link]
Summary:
We all know that our time in this world is limited, and that eventually all of us will end up underneath some sheet, never to wake up. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. - Lemony Snicket
Death champions no one. The same holds true for seven special people: bound by friendship, camaraderie and one great love for basketball.
Rating: General Audiences
Relationships: Generation of Miracles & Kagami Taiga
Warnings: Major Character Death

Death champions no one.
It is but a simple truth, an eventual reality that one has to accept. Not even the greatest king nor the sneakiest thief could ever escape its clutches.
Yet somehow it still manages to elude even the most brilliant of us all. Its power of misdirection knows no bounds. Its presence lurks at the back of the mind, yet is not acknowledged until it manifests itself from what seems like nowhere and punches one in the gut.
The same holds true for seven special people: bound by friendship, camaraderie and one great love for basketball. They had such dreams, big ones—all of them including one another, despite tight lips and vehement denials. Though not outright, all seven were always in the periphery. They didn’t have to say them, of course; they already knew—and nothing was going to stop them.
(But death does.)
First, I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who was so kind regarding my life update post… I really appreciate your support and your patience with me. <3 Last week was another rough one. (I guess that’s just how my life is, at the moment. //laughs) But around the middle of the week, I found THIS in my mailbox and NOTHING ELSE MATTERED ANYMORE BECAUSE LOOK AT IT:
LOOK EVEN THE MAILING ENVELOPE IS RAINBOWWW IT MADE ME SO HAPPY IT’S TOO PERFECT I CAN’TTTT
I didn’t open it right away, because I wanted to ooh and ahh over it as much as it deserved. Which I was finally able to do a few days ago, and OMGGG IT’S BEAUTIFUL:
(Pictured with the Last Game GoM keychains I always keep on my table, haha)
I LOVE IT SO MUCH. ❤️💛💚💙💜 I love the cover, I love the extras, and just a quick flip-through of the book gave me SO MANY FEELINGS about these precious rainbow basketball kids. 💕🌈
It was so awesome to see all the fellow KnB fans who contributed, many of whom have created tons of fanworks that I’ve enjoyed over the years… Artists like @linipik and my Rainbow Squad friends @whitecometofakagi, @memedoritos, and @optimistic-negative-thing. (THOSE PHOTOS WERE TOO CUTE.) Plus, the first fic in the book is a Seirin story by @szczepter, and as if that weren’t awesome enough there’s also a Kiyoshi fic about Seirin by @tetsucchin?! When I saw that, I was immediately like YES, THIS BOOK IS FOR ME, I AM 100% HERE FOR THIS BOOK. (Because you all know how much of a Seirin nerd I am, haha. XD)
I’m still slowly going through all the entries and savoring them… There’s so much love for the GoM in here and a Rakuzan fic by @umisabaku I can’t wait to read, and IT’S JUST SO GOOD, IT’S ALL SO GOOD. (And there’s so much more awesome work that I know I’m forgetting to mention… But I just had to put together some kind of gushing post as soon as I could?? XD I’ll try to reblog any of the entries I can find here on Tumblr, because THEY’RE ALL AMAZING AND EVERYONE SHOULD SEE/READ THEM.)
Also, I just wanted to say thank you so, so much to the mods, who did so much hard work to put this gorgeous fanbook together! I’m honored to have been part of such an amazing project. I got super emotional reading the forward, which welcomed both new and longtime fans back to the fandom. I really hope the KnB fandom sticks around. I know I’ll still be here, writing about these goofy basketball kids, for anyone out there who still wants to read about them. ❤️
(I do have a few more KnB projects in the works right now, besides the series I’m still updating… Hopefully I’ll be talking more about them soon! I’ve been working on a Seirin multi-chapter fic, a big future fic, some Rakuzan stuff, and a KnB meta project that I’ve been wanting to do for a REALLY long time.)
So in summary, THE FANBOOK IS SUPER AWESOME AND INCREDIBLY RAINBOW AND I LOVE IT SO MUCH. Thank you again to everyone who helped make it! Receiving it made a tough week so much better. And I’m so grateful I was able to contribute to such a beautiful anniversary book about one of my all-time favorite shows/stories. 💕🌈
Also, I’ll be posting my story from the fanbook online very soon! Along with a meta post about some of the canon stuff about the Generation of Miracles that inspired it because of course I’m going to do that, come on. XD And @whitecometofakagi and I are planning to post a version of our collab fic about Nijimura and Akashi in the future as well. 🖤❤️

At this time I would like to confirm that all US orders have been shipped!
Some of our storks have already landed with your bundles of joy, and we’re so touched by your responses so far! Remember, if you would also like to share your haul, feel free to @ us or use #knb10thannizine in your post.
Just a reminder that if you are international, please allow extra time to receive your tracking information, as the proxy orders are still in transit to Europe and Asia. Once they arrive, they will ship from there and you will receive your tracking information.
The image is a roundup of merch that I produced in my small studio before I packed it all up and sent it out! As always, thank you for your support and patience!
Sincerely,
Mod K.
My @knb10thannizine arrived!!! I can’t wait to give it a read. It looks absolutely wonderful.
MY COPY OF THE FANZINE IS FINALLY HERE AND IT'S SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL
Have the physical orders started being shipped out yet? Just wondering if artists/writers will receive their PDF copies soon? x
Orders have been rolling out steadily this week! All Asian and European orders have been shipped from the US via proxy, so when they arrive they will ship from their designated continent and you’ll then receive your tracking information. All other international orders have been shipped so they have a head start over domestic orders. Domestic orders have just begun rolling out. Once the last wave of physical copies is sent, the PDF copies will be sent to all contributors. Hope that clears things up, and as always, thank you for your patience!
We’d like to thank you all so much for your patience through this entire process! Please enjoy the first previews of the published zine!! They came out absolutely PERFECT!!! Take a look at that shimmer!
Shipping will be handled in waves beginning next week. Please allow extra time for all international orders outside of the US. Once shipped, you will receive an email with your tracking information.
Thank you to everyone who has helped make this possible!
Sincerely, Mod K.
hello! i hope things have been going well on your end. are there any updates about the zine printing and when it looks like they'll be shipped out?
Hi!
Sorry for the quiet! All mods have been busy but we are still focused on the zine not to worry! Currently, we are waiting for some minor corrections of the digital proof from the printing place as we want to make it as perfect as possible. The printing place was slow on responses for the past few days due to Holidays and such we are making progress :) Thank you for your patience.
