Artist Applications:

Artist Applications for Tomodachi Dan are now OPEN! You can apply here. Confirmations will be sent out during January-February when we’re able to confirm what needs to be illustrated for the visual novel.

Changes since the last announcement:

• Character Routes will be released individually rather than in pairs, as was originally planned.
• There will not be a Konoha route, but rather a Haruka Kokonose route.
• To take the holidays into account, we’ve postponed the final deadline for the rough drafts of each script.
• Because the Writer’s schedule has been postponed, the Artist’s schedule has been pushed back as well. More information about the Artist’s Schedule can be found in the Contributor Guide.
