Guest 2 – Violence, by Akira FUNAI
No, you’re not dreaming. We’re updating on a thursday. Remember, Frivolesque updates twice a week for the duration of Guest Strip Month! :)
Today’s guest strip was made by Akira FUNAI from Tokyo, Japan.
I discovered Afunai-san on DeviantArt a few years ago and quickly fell in love with his adorable drawing style. He eventually noticed me and Frivolesque some time later, maybe thanks to my fanboyish antics.
His own original characters appear in the last panel. Tsukasa, Ton-Chan, and Tsukasa’s grandmother, marking the third time they crossover with the Frivolesque cast. My girls first appeared in his 4-Koma, Kaerimichi, then his girls popped in Frivolesque a few months later. Maybe we could do some sort of long-form collab at some point…
Chloe isn’t used to get trounced by old Japanese ladies in video games. I wonder if Tsukasa’s grandma is teabagging her.
Grandma is SCARY!
You have no idea.
never underestimate the old time gamer hahaha :D
I should have an old lady in Frivolesque somewhere.
well, speaking of old lady in Frivolesque….
you already have :D

Yeah, but she wasn’t especially cool or interesting.
Make her compete with the other old lady. :)
ahahha yeaah that a good one :D
maybe cause you just don’t uncover her life story yet :)
who knows she was an assassin or so? :XD:
Of course a katana is better than a gun – it’s a japanese server after all…
well i guess it’s not about the katana better than a gun.
all weapon is only good in the hand of an expert. gun is useless when we can’t shoot.
and speaking of katana, katana is very sharp, well sharpness may impressive but not impressive enough in real combat because it’s very brittle, not useful in a tough battle fought with armors and shields. without any extensive training, it will become the worst sword ever. swing it too hard and it will shatter to pieces and could injure the wielder.
if we need all around blade, it will be the machete.
I was in no way siding with the katana here. In fact those “katana cultists” are among the most annoying fandoms there are…
You would think that someone with a sword has near to no chance against someone with a gun when spotted form afar – which is what happened here. Still pop culture/game logic dictates that the katana wins… because katana… ultimate weapon and stuff… -.-
This is hilarious. This artist needs to collaborate with you more often. And your characters are so oooooh cute drawn like this. :3
+1
HAHAHAHA OMG, EXCELENT! :D
Your draw styles are sooo compatible. Nice :)
Sh*t! “exceLLent”
He’s so much better than I am. XD
And he’s also done a lot of professional work in the past. I am so humbled by this.
I know this feeling, you THINK you have the advantage, only to be absolutely pantsed with now idea how…
Whoops, by pantsed I mean defeated without ever having a chance. At all.
Am I the only one who wants to know what they are playing?
What?! Thurday? When did this happen?? I’ve been had! Also granny got game. Do you know how rare that is?
That Grandma must have read some Toriko.
