In this bilingual (English/Japanese) doujinshi, Tadashi finds himself by Ainosuke’s side in the middle of Ainosuke’s “wild” American college days. And without his father between them, Ainosuke can’t help but test his former friend’s loyalties and boundaries on a mischievous Halloween night. 🦇🐶

Sample from Love Hazing, a SK8 the Infinity fan comic by orcamode and inknose featuring Adam/Shindo Ainosuke and Kikuchi Tadashi.
Panel 1: an American college study hall. Students dress in costumes among Halloween decorations. Text: "Ha! No studying tonight. Don't you know what day it is?" "Ah... Right..."
Panel 2: Tadashi nervously looks to the side.
Panel 3: Ainosuke glares at Tadashi
Panel 4: close-up of Ainosuke's smirk

Another sample from Love Hazing.
Panel 1: Ainosuke holds a package for a "sexy dog" costume for women. Text on package: SPOT adult costume. Includes dress, headband, tail, and mini handbag.
Dialogue: "The party has a dress code."
Panel 2: Tadashi holds the package with dread. Dialogue: "This... is..."

I just read these fanbooks by @inknose.bsky.social
Short programs is so cute, I think my favorite part was where Victor was reading Yuri’s fancomics to him 😮‍💨
Divine Inspiration was also so sweet and felt like it could have been plucked straight out of the books, it’s canon in my mind 🥰

We won't be restocking Tired Eyes until early next year, unfortunately! The fickle constraints of riso printing. 😔 Crossing our fingers we can bring the next print run to TCAF!
