More character development!
So, we all know Mochi devours and expresses Daifuku’s dark and negative feelings, right? Well that goes for pain, too! Whilst not completely immune to getting hurt, Daifuku cannot feel most forms of physical or mental pain. Mochi on the other hand…well, sucks to be him!
Next week is the finale of this Crazy Sunshine Chronicle! It’s been a long ride, huh? There’s also some amazing new features popping up around the site soon, so keep checking back to find out what they are!
Also, make sure to check out this blog entry for the first Crazy Sunshine Contest! Win a stash of free stuff before this Friday!
Ack weird throat angle! And sword loving? Do I wanna know?
let’s just say he can be quite dangerous if left to his own devices!
Also yeah trying to pull that off is hard! It looked hella weird with nothing there, as if Daifuku’s top and lower half were joined by a thread. At least I will get tons of practice with her anyway!
it lookeded kinda cool though…..try the sides of the mouth instead of the back maybe?????
Have you considered having the bow bend forward and inward a little? It doesn’t address the issue but it at least covers it up without needing any character redesign.
Mmm, could do but then it would get in the way of some of Mochi’s teeth.
I’mma make a reference sheet for her next week!
Aww!! Daifuku in panel 1 ^_^ !! yay!! Is she becoming a constant?? :3 x
Well she has nowhere to live now, does she?!
Tuesday is the day I re-enter the dark scheming underbelly of society and social order. The place where souls are scourged and innocents are blundered. The place where the sun is no longer with us, in its place, a swirling ,endless void of inescapable darkness. A land of work and toil are forced upon those who seek the freedom and orders of the outside world. Or as I like to call it: school.
At least you got a summer holiday! As a teacher I have to go to work/school all the way throughout summer despite there being no classes or students!
Oh Sweet Jesus, you are a teacher? You are cooler than any teacher at my poor-as-shit shack we call a school.
It’s not a permanent thing. Before this gig I tested games for living – I wanna do that again!
Woahhh!! that would be the coolest job ever!!! <3 x
Is testing games in Japan better than in America? Because as president of the VGDC (Video Game Design Club), we try to steer our prospective members AWAY from testing (or QA, as it’s normally called). Seriously, allow me to refer you to a comic called ‘The Trenches’ for the horrors of American QA.
I wouldn’t know. Any Japanese game company is small and underpaid. I tested in the UK and it was great. Lots of overtime, but that just meant more money, all expenses paid axis home, and free hot dinners, plus lots of Street Fighter tourneys on your breaks.
Yeahh:) England rocks:P Paralympic time baby;) haha!!x
your a teacher! can i call you sensei?
Uh, sure, all my students do.
I’m a bit confused, it seems like she knew them from long ago, wasn’t this supposed to be their first meeting and Lacie’s second?
Nope. Read the comments in the last strip, at the very bottom.
<3 Shelbie <3
Character Development indeed, I like the idea of Mochi being Daifuku Fabric Meat Mental Shield, it makes symbiotic deal more fair.
Also a Character has to be equal or greater than a some sort of “MAGICAL PSYCHIC HOLY HELL ANTI TANK RIFLE”(TM) to Pierce Daifuku Mochi Mental, Psychic, Magical defenses, right?
I sure hope one of those don’t exist!
They do existed, I Think, if they don’t exist, then what bloody hell I’m holding?
A Barrett M107 with a psychedelic paint job?
…(¦:P) Yep, that’s exactly what I’m holding.
(Aims blaster)
Umm, is this a bad time?
I’m excited at the prospect of Daifuku as another main character. If that’s the case does that mean Mochi will be the first regular male character?
It could do, however, he isn’t a real, full character, only the spirit/remains of one.
I am thinking of making a male lead, but, not for a while yet!
it would be interesting if this male character had a thing for candy. think of the possible situations it could create.
D’aw, Daifuku is ‘dorable. It’d be awesome to see her again as a recurring or regular character.
Looks like we will find out next week!
I like the strawberry on the back. Complete contrast to what lies on the other side.
So is Mochi still a separate entity that’s just influenced by Daifuku’s darker emotions or has it become (maybe always was?) sorta a second mouth that only spouts Daifuku’s darker characteristics?
My favourite kind of daifuku are strawberry, which are like regular daifuku, but with a strawberry in the middle. It symbolizes that!
Mochi has a soul of his own, but can’t live without Daifuku’s body, and Daifuku cannot feel or express dark and negative emotions without Mochi as he has already “eaten” them.
He also has a memory and can still remember his previous “owner”, the original Empress.
Mochi’s mouth replaced Daifuku’s torso. His eyes however, appear on any piece of equi- er, clothing that she wears. Like pajamas, and even bikinis!
Wow Holy Fuck, Daifuku has Serious Case of Nipples de Eyes. Makes me want to Daifuku see in a Bikini.
I suspect it’s gonna be a two-piece then… I doubt Mochi would appreciate being covered up by one-piece bathing suit ;D
Quick questions: does he have control over where the eyes are situated and does it always have to be 2 eyes?
They are always on her breasts! How unfortunate.
So if Mochi needs Reading Glasses, Daifuku will have a wear a giant pair of glasses on her Tits. (XD)
“Who the SHIT burned down my store?!” is now my favorite line Mochi has said.
…. I hope by swords we mean actual swords. That’d be funnier. XD
Yeah, it is! Daifuku’s trusty ying-yang thingy sword is his favourite toy!
Hahaha. Mochi is amazing. Seriously. He’s had some amazing lines already. xD “Who the SHIT burned down my store?!” I lol’d too hard at that. xD
It’s very cool how you’ve pulled them two off.
I struggle to see who’s my favourite character atm. xD
I can’t wait to develop Lacie and Mochi’s relationship to the point where they have to work together to troll people – yet poor Daifuku is roped into it all!
Daifuku is always happy,and mochi is a perverted evil stomach deity,loving the way your wrapping this up,and hopefully the next character will be undead a male or female.Great page always,and Lacie you so crazy..and tsundere as fuuuu
Hahaha, thanks! Undead eh? Sounds interesting! Maybe they can come from the Solemn Skip!
You’d then have a representative of each identified area (if Peppermint counts towards Massive Metropolis).
i just love daifuku’s face in the first panel, so cute.
Hmmmm, i was kind of expecting some sort of epic fight, like: Rage-Fuku going to make some Lacie Sushi and Shelbie jumping in, in a sudden flash of her old self, starting a giant incantation that could even vaporize a demonlord but then falling back to her dimm witted self, making the devastating attack nothing more then a silent “poof”. Or something like this.^^
But this is pretty neat too.^^ Well, i guess the gang soon will have two new roomies for the price of one.
Nope, I am no good at fight scenes. Not gonna happen. Never!
Not until I practice more!
How about this, more onsceen action for Practice, they don’t even need to be fight scenes. like Candy kicking Lacie though a wall, or Peppermint Dunking a Basketball in a Giant Robot, or Lacie casting a Fireball or any other Spells, or Daifuku Cutting something Half with her Yin Yang Blade, or Shelbie smack Lacie with Tits. They don’t even need to be animated. a giant space whale exploding into a million pizza rolls & crashing into Peppermints house.
I believe he’s referring more to planning and pacing rather execution. Due to the limitations inherent to the medium, a proper fight scene requires a good setup of proper pacing and selection of “snap shots” of the fight to show. Jkun’s current 4 panel format is horrible for the pacing part and he’d need to work on a format that expresses motion in a better manner so that a 5 minute fight doesn’t drag on for 5 months.
That’d be something more to practice on the side and then try in-comic once he settles on something he likes. Otherwise he may end up wasting time on something that looks ugly AND takes a long time to produce.
The first section of what Blue said, down to a T.
For people who are reading through these archives, fight scenes would be awesome, right? You get a jist of what is going on and can see the whole fight pan out over a few pages, quickly coming to a conclusion.
But for long-term readers, a fight scene in a weekly comic, taking 1-2 months to fully execute, would not only drive people away, but make every week’s update incredibly boring.
Also, this is a gag-a-day comic, not an action/adventure series! While Treasures of Eastern Estuary now takes 3-4 mins to read, look how long it took to release, 11 weeks! That’s over 2 months! I missed out an entire season of summer gags! D:
Hope you understand.
Gotcha, I Understand what you & Blue are saying and, I have no retort due to it making perfect sense.
Understood, and you make a very valid point about the comics panel style, and it being bad for action scenes.
Now that I think about it I’m remembering how we couldn’t see the bottom or top of Satou(Dadfuku) weapon and only the middle. Thank you, Blue_Elite.
P.s. I was dicking around, and pretty much was Paroding the comment that Jkun reply to. Sorry Schrödinger Katze.
Actually I have drawn the foot/pants of Dadfuku before, but that speech bubble blocks it. This is why I wanna change the style of speech bubbles as seen on Facebook.
I have no idea how you’d execute this as it would probably be more programing related than art related; but what about see-through (the right word is escaping me right now) speech bubbles that become fully opaque when you mouse over them?
Nope, because then you are restricting the medium to PC only, making it broken/unreadable on mobile devices, RSS or other devices such as Vitas, Xboxs and PS3s (People actually use these!)
pretty pretty please with chocolate mochi and a cherry on top update the cast page??? We KNOW its Difuku already……..please 0o0
Oh, forgot about that. Will do once I get some time off work.
*Que Jkun revealing the planned 6th character that he had originally intended before deciding to go with Daifuku first instead*
The only troll around here is Lacie. I’m a nice guy! For the most part.
Lacie knows HIM!!!!
I dunno if she’s into that kind of music.

(few seconds later)
Finally, I hear this ice cream shop sells really go…
…
DAMMIT NOT AGAIN!!!
“WHO KEEPS BLOWING STUFF UP FIRST THE WORLD NOW THIS?”
urm…. I blew the planet up… Don’t worry I fixed it good as new!!
just don’t try to go under Australia..seriously
Before or after Peppermint on page 1?
…
both
I have a question. can daifuku take mochi off, or is he permanently stuck on her? and if he is, how does she does stuff that require you to take off your clothes to do? does she bathe in mochi?
I thinkkkk I addressed this earlier, I forget!
Mochi’s mouth is part of Daifuku’s stomach, he is always there, but his eyes can be appear on any piece clothing she uses to cover her, well, breasts. Without clothing, Mochi has no eyes. This way I can put Daifuku in a whole bunch of clothing while also having Mochi present.
Hmm… the curse thing seems to have become less of a second entity and more of the vocal embodiment of the darker aspects of her own personality
you know those scenes where you hear a person saying something while thinking something very different that means more or less the same thing? that is what I’m talking about just spoken is all
Hehe, that’s a good way of putting it! Mochi is never nice!
I’d like to thank you for making the gi monster funny. XD
Hey, your welcome!
Wait, last comic pepperment called Daifuku by name, so they know each other? Since when? Only time ya see her interect with the gang is when she’s about to fillet Lacie.

So many comments, I don’t expect everyone to read through them all!
You might want to address this in the comic blurb of the next comic. Seems to be a FAQ.
I was gonna address it in Daifuku’s About section when I get round to uploading it next week!
FINALLY! Thank You J-sama
FINALLY! Thank You Jkun-sama
Thanks J!
“Sword-Loving Pervert, Huh.” Daifuku threat Lacie with Sword to Neck (again), and Mochi did something Perverted with that Long Ass Black Tip Tongue of his to Lacie.
…(-_-) *Thinking about it…*
…(O_O)<(HOLY FUCK, NOSEBLEED.)
That is a dangerous fetish.
(¯µ¯)<(Damn Straight.)
Ironically the Nosebleed wasn't cause by the mere Thought of Tongue Tentacle Rape but, the fact I literally walk into a wall.
I’m gonna cut you a deal Jkun, every time I make a comment relating to the comic, and you reply with a witty response, I’m gonna turn it into a mini comic for the fb page, deal?
Do it!
Uh, wait, that wasn’t witty at all.
well, the first page is done, I must warn you, my drawing style does not look the same, sorry
but i hope you will like it please leave some feedback on it 
well, when I said done I meant is drawn, but i still need to digitize it, DIGIVICE AWAAAAYY!!!
So, Daifuku knew them (have I lost something in the way? If yes, please forgive me!). By the way, PLEASE MAKE HER A CONSTANT CHARACTER! She is so cool and have a lot of carisma and potential! Well… See you next week!
Hehe, she would be a blast to have around – Mochi too!
Also yep, the crew knew her already. 3 Years have passed remember!
3 years passed,correct? So Pepper is 12, Lacie and Shelbie are 22 and Candy is 30.
And what makes you think the start of this story began in present time, hm?
Processing… all this… information!
Hold that thought for a few second, PPPPFFFFTTTTTTTTCCCCCCHHHH(Spit take)……… Okay, I’m better, please Jkun explain.
From the start of the chronicle, Daifuku’s narration was reflecting on events that transpired in the past. The same narration also appears before her store gets blown up 3 years later. Despite 3 years having past, this story is still in the past, not in present time, so the character’s ages haven’t changed. The Lacie in the first strip, Seeds of Doubt, is Lacie from 3 years ago.
Also, again, somewhere during those 3 years, Daifuku met Lacie and the gang for the first time.
Maybe I should make a forum section where we can discuss every strip, haha.
*While Sippings some Tea* Ah, I see, that answers someone elses question before they ask it. (I knew that the 3 years have pass & the group already met Daifuku from remembering & rereading Comments. But, I like asking questions that have more detail explanation answers for the peoples that get Brainoverloads.) Alsooo yes to Forum idea.
Yay! XD No more estrogen soup. Mochi will know what its like when the biological time clocks of women synchronize XD
Oh, I get it! They all met in the ice cream parlour! And that means at some point, Daifuku’s family was just like HEY FORK THE BUSINESS OVER or something.
… It makes sense in my head.
Hey, I got a DeviantArt account too!
Hey! If you’ve scrolled down this far, well done! So I’ve just made a minicomic on the fb page and I really need feedback, so check out the fb page and please have a look! If you can find it that is muahahah!

I just notice adorable Daifuku kitty 3 mouth while Mochi telling off Lacie in the second panel.(:3)

Hey, I wondered: what if Peppermint found a boyfriend?
Haha.
That’d be cute.
And besides this is Crazy Sunshine. It could be a comic. Right?
I think it’d be more likely for her to make one. I think she’s too young for that sorta thing anyway.
Daifuku’s emotions makes her seem like a hypocrit. yikes! better watch out when she releases her energy.
