Kentaro Yabuki, creator of To LOVE-Ru and Ayakashi Triangle, is actively drawing for the hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME and maintaining a personal X account for casual artwork. As of late August 2026, his Black Cat manga is being promoted through a Kindle points-back sale.
Kentaro Yabuki's public activity in mid-2026 centers on two tracks: commercial work tied to Shueisha and personal, non-commercial art shared directly with fans. On May 28, 2026, he opened a personal X account, "Kentaro Yabuki side," separate from his official "Kentaro Yabuki Info" account, and posted fan art of Lala Satalin Deviluke from To LOVE-Ru. The account reached 110,000 followers shortly after launch, and a second post, correcting a typo in the official handle, featured Death Note's L.
His commercial contributions in the same period are all for Shueisha properties. He drew a hololive OFFICIAL CARD GAME card of Houshou Marine for the V Jump October Issue (out August 21), and the same issue includes a conversation between Yabuki and Marine. Earlier, he drew a Yukihana Lamy card for the game's 2nd Anniversary Blooming Memories collection book, releasing September 18; the book covers all cards from the past year. Yabuki had previously drawn Houshou Marine and Shirogane Noel cards for the game.
Yabuki also shared two personal illustrations outside his usual romantic comedy territory. On June 1, he drew Evangelion Unit-08 for his preschool-age son, who requested the pink mecha after seeing it on Yabuki's shelf. On June 18, he posted fan art of the Dragon Quest V protagonist's daughter holding a tiny medal, saying that game got him into RPGs in seventh grade. Meanwhile, Amazon ran a 50 percent points-back offer on all 12 Kindle volumes of his earlier manga Black Cat, which ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2000 to 2004.
