Goldfish Princess

For the cover of the July issue of *Monthly Floyd*. I was asked to draw in a Japanese theme, so I chose goldfish. For the first time in a long while I thought of a story before I started drawing, remembering the words of Shigesato Itoi that the smell of death is strong in the summer not because of the obon but the war. I imagined a dead girl guiding the souls on their way. I drew the patterns mostly by hand.
