Synthesized from 3 Yomimono stories · updated Jun 19

Manga artist Kentaro Yabuki opened a personal X account on May 28, 2026, named "Kentaro Yabuki side." The account is intended for casual personal updates and hobby illustrations, separate from his official Shueisha-affiliated account "Kentaro Yabuki Info." In his first post, he shared an illustration of Lala Satalin Deviluke from To Love-Ru, which received over 50,000 likes as of May 29. After noticing a typo in his initial post where he wrote the official account's handle incorrectly, he posted a fan art of L from Death Note to acknowledge the error. His follower count reached 110,000 shortly after the account went live.

Days later, on June 1, Yabuki drew an illustration of Evangelion Unit-08 for his preschool-age son. The boy requested the pink mecha after seeing it on Yabuki's collection shelf. Yabuki shared the anecdote and drawing on his sub-X account, where it drew comments about the father-son moment and the rare robot art from a creator best known for romantic comedy manga.

On June 18, Yabuki posted fan art of the protagonist's daughter from Dragon Quest V, showing her with a smug expression holding a tiny medal. He said the game got him into RPGs when he was in seventh grade. The three stories show Yabuki using his personal account to share non-commercial, personal artwork and anecdotes, drawing on his own history and family life.
