Goodbye, Everything


By DannyGoodShirt


Prompt: Anniversary


My name is Mimi Champloo, I died ten years ago.

They never quit looking.

Ever since, my family kept my seat open as if I would return.

They don’t know it, but I have returned. Sitting at the seat they kept for me. 


Across from me is my older brother, Ray, people call him Detective Rain. The other detectives joke that it rains whenever he shows up to a crime scene, so the evidence is washed away. I see my ten-year-long cold case has aged him twenty. Mother hugs him. “Eat. Please. Mimi would want you to eat.” No response, only a nod. 


My parents serve Udon Noodles and Lemon Cake, because those are my favorites. I wish I could have some. Especially the lemon cake.


I haven’t aged in ten years, so I still look like a 15 year old girl. Black hair and uneven bangs I cut myself, a yellow cardigan I always wore, even in the summer, and a chipped hairclip I stole from a store when I was 10.  


This anniversary is for me, and I didn’t even dress up.


I swing my legs under the table attempting to kick my brother. He doesn’t budge.


The shop smells like a rich, spicy ramen broth. My Uncle Chu spilled his whiskey at the front, I swear he drinks way too much. Dad mutters under his breath as he wipes up the mess. He doesn’t blame my brother, but he grows more sad everyday.


Mother smiles through everything, always finding a way to bring happiness wherever she goes. Through her tired eyes—-and the zillionth person to tell her, “She was too young.” I wish people would stop saying that. 


The lights at the noodle shop are dim. Matured faces of people I knew here to pay their respects. My Music Teacher, Mr. Tanaka always told my parents I would be a famous musician one day. He was cool, into heavy-metal bands my mom didn’t care for, but was kind and I learned a lot from him. He has grey hair now like an old man.


Mr. Tanaka stares at my memorial photo with teary eyes. Then he approaches Ray, speaking like his heart was heavy. “Ray.”


Ray doesn’t look up from the lemon on his cake like they will give him a clue.


“I was cleaning out the old AV closet this past semester and found a tape Mimi left in my class. She said it was a joke back then, so I didn’t think much about it. When I found it I listened to it… over and over again.”

“I haven’t slept since.”


“She called it “Goodbye, My Secret Love.”


Ray finally glances up with bloodshot eyes. “Are you saying you think she…”


“No. I’m not saying anything.” Mr. Tanaka says. “And I deeply apologize that I didn’t share this with you earlier.”


My brother tenses up. “She was murdered.”


“Ray…”


“Mimi wouldn’t do that. My little sister smiled every day. She made us laugh every day.” His voice cracked.


Mr. Tanaka walks away. My brother is too stubborn to even ask to hear the song.


Sitting at a table is Ren, my ex-best friend who told people I stuffed my bra. She brought Sunflowers, my favorite, so I guess we’re cool now. She was always my prettiest friend. Ren grew into her beauty. Wait… Is that a man she’s with? Ren has a husband!? I wish I could get married. No, I wish I could eat that Lemon Cake. Yum.


One time in High School I went with Ren to a concert. The band was pretty good, all older guys. They all had a crush on her so they let us in for free. Then they were super creepy after their show, inviting us to smoke and drink in their van. We didn’t even do that stuff. So we left. Idiots.

Speaking of idiots, Uncle Chu is starting a fight with Mr. Tanaka.


“What do ya mean, sui-cide!? Ima rip your freakin’ face off!” Uncle Chu embarrasses himself once again.


While the disgraceful uncle continues, I attempt to connect with my brother again. I reach out to grab his hand, and he doesn’t notice me. I just want to tell him the truth.


That’s when a tall broad man, dressed in a black suit walks into the shop. Mother smiles at him like she smiles at everyone who enters the shop. His fitted clothes cover up tattoos. His dark hair slicked back. He hides a scar beneath his black shades. He looks out of place, but remains unbothered standing with purpose. He has the stare of someone who just left prison.


I feel heavy. I can’t move. I’m ice-cold. Nervous. Scared. I’ve lost focus.


The man walks straight to my memorial shrine. He dropped to his knees and prayed. A single tear streaming from under his shades and down his cheek. I notice my brother glaring at him.


The man’s name is Kino, my first and only love. We kept it a secret, because we come from different places. I was a valedictorian, who was ready for college, and he was a delinquent, from a family of Yakuza. He promised me he would leave that life behind. Not to sound judgy, but I can tell he broke that promise.  


I wish I could talk to him. I want him to know I never meant to leave him. 


My brother approached Kino. “We’re closed.”


Kino doesn’t move. He doesn’t express anything at all besides that tear drop.


My brother’s suspicion and desperate need to find answers comes out in a rage fit. He grabs Kino by his suit and picks him up off the floor. 


“Listen man, who the hell are you!? And why are you here?” Kino doesn’t give Ray a response. He was the same way when we were kids—-If Kino felt he needed to do something, he would do it, regardless of what others thought. 


Ray pushes Kino toward the entrance door. He pulls the collar of his suit tightly trying to control him. As soon as Ray feels in control of the situation, Kino tosses him over his hip.


Kino draws a handgun from his pants.


What is he doing? Why would he do this?


All of a sudden, every emotion poured out of Kino at once. Like he bottled everything inside for the last 10 years. His eyes are streaming tears, jaw clenched, and his hand squeezing the gun so tight his arm shakes. He cackles almost lunatic-like. Did he plan this, or was it my brother's push that set him off? 


“You goddamn pig! You goddamn bastard! You act so dedicated to solving a crime that never happened… The only crime that occurred was you not being there for your sister.”


What is Kino raging about? Does he really think my family is responsible? No, it shouldn’t be this way…


“All of you assholes are guilty… She only hid us from you because she feared your judgement… She valued your opinion so much… She thought it was easier to take her own life. You don’t even realize what you did.”


No, it wasn’t their fault. Kino, you don’t have to blame them.


Ray waves his hands in front of him. “Hey man, we don’t even know you. Please, just leave!”


Kino drops photos on the front desk in front of my parents. They are wailing. I regret making them cry so much.


The photos are of Kino and I. We were both 15. This was the day before I died.


My parents sob over the photos. In one photo, we’re kissing under a streetlight. In another, we’re sitting under mountains, looking at the sunset. It’s beautiful.  I was smiling, but I didn’t mean it. Not because I didn’t love him, but because I had something dark growing inside of me. I don’t know what it was. I don’t know where it came from. But as time went on, it grew louder, and darker.


Before that photo was taken, I asked Kino what he thought about death. He said, everyone dies when it’s their time. He said it wasn’t my time.


Ray glances over the photos. His hands tremble. “So, she kept you from us? What does this prove?”


Dad pats Ray on the shoulder. He doesn’t say anything.  


“She was killed…” He grinds his teeth. “Did you kill her? You bastard…”


"Everyone knows only you call it a cold-case! The police called it a suicide right away. They only leave the case open because they feel bad for you." The room reacts like Kino is saying something nobody would dare to say.


Kino points his gun at himself. Kino!? What are you doing?


“I did ten years inside. When I got out I heard about Mimi's anniversary. Celebration of her life. I just think it’s funny, because only I knew the life she wanted to live.


But in the end, I grew up to be a real asshole. She would hate me if she saw who I became.”


I don’t hate you, Kino. You’re just stubborn like my brother! You’re both so convinced you know everything! Maybe my pain was mine. Maybe what I felt had nothing to do with you! 


“I broke every promise I made to her. I wandered down the Yakuza path, just like my old man. I’m fucked! I still believe you're to blame. I even planned on shooting all of you today… But she loved you so much. What can I do? Can I betray her once more? Or just point the trigger and join her in the afterlife?”


I leap from the seat so gracefully kept for me. I reach out toward Kino to disarm him. As a result, I tumbled to the ground. Kino fell too.


Thump.


Wait. Did I knock it out of his hand? Or… Did I get through to him?


Kino stares at me with wide frightened eyes. I feel him looking at me. He knows I’m here.


He exhales before standing up.


“I’m sorry… for everything.” He turns away trying to make an exit.


“You can’t just pull this shit and leave!” My brother is pissed. 


“Wait—-everyone, stop!” Mr. Tanaka re-enters the shop. He’s holding a cheap 3 track recorder with some equipment. Wait, is that my song? How embarrassing!


Everyone in the shop is quiet. You can hear people's hearts racing as Mr. Tanaka hooks the recorder to a speaker. 


“Everyone here should hear this.” 


He presses play.


My face is flushed red. I’m so embarrassed. I feel like an idiot.


“My name is Mimi Champloo, and this song is called “Goodbye, Everything”


My guitar sounds out of tune. Ugh, this is so gross. What was I thinking? To be honest, I was too depressed to even care about tuning my guitar correctly. Or maybe I just wasn’t very good.


The singing kicked in and I really wish I was dead. Oh wait.


“You’re a bowl of sunshine, so they say  

Always smiling, that’s what they see

All I show is happy little me

I don’t wanna hide me anymore

I wanna be free


There’s a darkness growing deep inside

I can’t scrub it off; no matter how hard I try 


Sayonara, my secret love

Goodbye, Everything”


The song goes on, and on. I cringe, and my parents weep.


My brother crosses his arms, angrier than ever.


I repeat the line “Sayonara, my secret love. Goodbye, Everything” and Kina crumbles as well.


Mr. Tanaka stands tall and shouts. “Come on, sing with her. Sing with Mimi!”

Once the pre-chorus hits. Everyone sang along.


“There’s a darkness growing deep within

I can’t shake


Sayonara, my secret love

Goodbye, everything”


Together, the room is full of my sad song. I sing with them. Even though no one can hear me.


Mr. Tanaka, Kino, my parents, and even Uncle Chu all look directly at me as we sing together.


My brother stomps off. Dad tries to pull Ray back in.


“Ray! Where are you going?”


“Back to work. I will find the murderer!” He slams the door on his way out. 


Brother. I’m trying to tell you, but you won’t listen.


The voices echo through the shop. I watch my brother leave alone again. I understand now, not just my actions but the hole they left behind.

I thought I had ended my pain, but I passed it on to those who love me.


I think sometimes it’s not up to you how your actions are interpreted by others, sometimes it’s only up to them.


I don’t know if they will ever understand me, and they might not have to. 

Maybe I don’t need them to forgive me.


All I know is that I forgive them


I forgive myself.


Maybe I will sit here just a little while longer.


At least until the cake is gone.

Blurbs from the Judges!


Orla’s Nightmare by AntonM


@Dannygoodshirt - The shift from Black and White to the colorful dream was a cool idea. Even though the dream sequence was great, the scene with the human was drawn so well I found myself wanting more of it. Great work & congrats!


@Aalasteir - Stunning. There's abundant grace in how visually focused the storytelling is, with its emphasis on movement that really helps the viewer connect with the nightmare's emotion.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 Creepy, creepy! I loved the atmosphere of this one. And yet there’s some good humor. The art is raw, and I think it fits the story well. The colors are so good in the middle.

🟥 The art is a bit hard to read at first, but once you get in, it’s all good.


@Luis - Good mood setting and great use of dark tones. Good use of mixed media. Some pages felt a little dry and too panel heavy.


@Mattyburrito - Loved how it went from a bleak black and white film to vibrant but also terrifyingly lush and grotesque visuals within the dream. My favorite shot is of 

the eyes with the red tone. The visuals and panel pacing were very reminiscent of old Frank Miller comics. A very mesmerizing piece I could see being part of 

a horror anthology. 


@Rannitx - The black and white panels are super well done, such a great balance of tones while keeping it readable. The nightmare looks great. Really awesome to see a mixed media entry. I would love to have seen more of the human and worm interactions.


@NoMoreChie - Anton just doesn't miss.


@VoicesByCorey - I truly enjoyed your use of colored pencils and watercolors! Gives a unique feel and stands out! Design of the bug were cool and the story was intriguing.


Sprint by Slimygoo 


@Dannygoodshirt - One of the most consistent and well-done entries in the Jump Contest. The composition and art were all strong. The story was clear, but I thought the lil’ guys were difficult to emotionally invest in, but at least their bulge made me laugh. Congrats!


@Aalasteir - Using varied panel layouts was a very good decision, as it helps a lot with the story’s pacing. The aftermath of the bridge explosion was very well communicated. The POV shots are great.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 The art well executed here, and the panels also well done. The story is very simple and easy to follow. The motivations of the characters are clear.

🟥 The story is a whiplash of serious and wacky. It’s a bit too simple as well. Also, warning: well-rendered gobbo crotch.


@Luis - Fun concept and great character designs. Probably the most 'pro' looking comic book.


@Mattyburrito - This one surprised me the most - I didn't think a track race between a bunch of Jak and Daxter rodent humanoids would get me so invested. Big ups for being able to establish the characters, motivations, and stakes in such a short amount of time. Movement is so fluidly conveyed with the poses, really striking stuff.


@Rannitx - The line work on this is crazy good. The style is consistent and there are tons of poses with different angles. Nothing felt stiff in this. Really great work 100%.


@NoMoreChie - great sense of speed and weight through the interactions from the characters, pretty tense with a heartfelt ending to boot.


@VoicesByCorey - The only submission I gave a perfect score to. Loved everything about it, the story, the art, the pacing. You captured every detail that made this comic standout. Solid work, I thoroughly enjoyed it!


Brutalist Brick: Film Buffs by houzatosis


@Dannygoodshirt - Some of the strongest compositions and paneling. The color palette and characters are so lively, it was just a fun time to read. I think you could have done a little more story-wise, but either way I enjoyed reading it. Congrats!


@Aalasteir - Fantastic use of negative space and very creative paneling.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩The style is really cool, and composition and color are top notch. I like the use of tones to create texture. The story is simple but relatable.

🟥 There’s too much dialog and not much happens. I can relate to the story, but I feel weird that I’m supposed to feel something for someone feeling something about a movie without me seeing that movie. There’s just not enough here for that. Like if this was longer and I knew the characters better, it would be better.


@Luis - Fun characters, and layouts. Some of the pages felt a bit too busy and the speech bubbles strung together makes it a little hard to read and keep up with whats going on.


@Mattyburrito - Phenomenal palette, linework, and panel layout. Reading felt like catching a late night broadcast of an obscure adult cartoon (like Mission Hill.) 

Major props for being able to make characters watching movies together visually entertaining and dynamic.


@Rannitx - I love the limited color selection here. Strong, confident designs, easy to follow panels. Deserves to be in the top 3. Love that she gets into the Shin Khaemelea movie.


@NoreMoreChie - Feels like an early 2000s show similar to the critic or Mtv downtown. the chill movie night vibe with unique dialogue matched with stunning composition framed through film reels makes this one favorite read out of the bunch.


@VoicesByCorey - I truly enjoyed your color scheme. Different shades incorporated a tone for the comic. Nothing like finding good cinema when you least expect it also.


Don’t overthink it. by CourtCrow


@Dannygoodshirt - This was a personal favorite. As a fan of Welcome to the NHK, and Osamu Dazai, I’ve got a soft spot for hyper-manic lead characters. The shading was great, the characters were super expressive, and the layouts were nicely done. Some of the text could have been more readable, and the ending could have been clearer, but keep up the great work!


@Aalasteir - The compositions presented in the story are fantastic.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 Art is top notch. The way the panels flow is so good. It’s well paced. The colors are amazing. Characters are well designed.

🟥 I didn’t connect with the message or the way the story ended, but I can tell the author is passionate about this topic.


@Luis - Nice color palette, fun characters, ending is kind of fizzles, and the typography felt a little too dainty (pink w/ white type)


@Mattyburrito - I definitely did and am continuing to overthink it. I kept going back and trying to re-analyze panels to check if there were any details I missed in regards to the ending. Fantastic expression work, great lighting and color work. 


@Rannitx - Sick shading and highlights, Funny story got a real laugh out of me. Awesome job! Love how the “It’s not that deep bro.” destroys the MC. Feel like we have all been there lol.


@NoMoreChie - Keeps it comical without preaching about said topic. Great art, color, and panel work to convey the emotions of the characters.


@VoicesbyCorey - Nice take on the concept of finding the deeper meaning of content. Sometimes we get too wrapped up in it lol! Loved your artwork, kinda reminded me of Nox's world a bit.


Rage Room by wwiredweird


@Dannygoodshirt - Excellent expressive characters and strong color palette. The comic is chaotic but very readable, which is difficult to pull off.


@Aalasteir - Visually distinct. Fiery and ferocious in presentation with seamless flow. The handwritten text complements the design very well.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 Amazing color and style. It’s like each page is a poster. The composition is very good. Very action packed.

🟥 It’s hard to tell what is going on most of the time. It’s very floaty in having scant backgrounds and style over readability.


@Luis - Interesting characters, compositions and color palettes. Feels complete and easy to follow.


@Mattyburrito - Pulse-pounding and hyperactive style from start to finish. Very eye catching visuals in this, I like how it throws you right into the chaos. The gritty action

and cartoony art style are captivating but it is a bit hard to read and understand what's going on up front. 


@Rannitx - Colors in this are chef’s kiss, Some really strong panels, page one is powerful. The action poses are strong as fuck. Great job!


@NoMoreChie - I'll be lying if I said I knew what the hell was going on in this comic but the character designs, composition and colors really make this comic pop out with a style of its own. Would love to see more of Rage room but perhaps a little slowed down to allow the comic to breathe.


@VoicesByCorey - I think what captured my attention the most was your composition. Good transitions and I enjoyed the story. Unique use of color schemes as well!


Love Catastrophe by shyesundae


@Dannygoodshirt - I love the colors and clean linework. The character designs and interactions felt very cute and natural. I do recommend using text boxes for better readability. 


@Aalasteir - A charming comic with strong characterization, expressive art, and vibrant colors, including fun NG references and detailed backgrounds.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 The art is super cute! I love when the cats go real too. The composition is well done, and I like the choice of fonts. The story is simple and cute. Very fluffy!

🟥 I wish there were balloons to make the text easier to read, but I see it was done to keep the panels tight. The story is predictable, but like I said, this is fluff. Nothing wrong with that!


@Luis - Fun style and colors, characters are likeable and have good personality. I thought some of the layouts were not as tight as some of the other comics out there.


@Mattyburrito - Adorable scenario and fun take on the "transformed into a creature" scenario - big Bee and Puppycat vibes. Really clean layout work with a bright color palette that doesn't overwhelm the reader. 


@Rannitx - Colors are on point, lines are clean, and the characters look great. I also like how on the title page her shadow is a cat. Fun little RomCom.


@NoMoreChie - Cute premise you would see from an cartoon network show with good art to go with it. though it feels like the panels are way too close to the characters with semi flat backgrounds, the light magical cat adventure charm shines through.


@VoicesByCorey - Cute little story about finding the nerves to admit feelings to your crush! Loved your artwork, the story and the composition that enhanced the pace of it.


Drawn in by manecofigo

@Dannygoodshirt - Cool concept. Cool art. I dig the Junji Ito vibe. I look forward to more of the anthology! Maybe the theme could have been stronger and to many panels spent on a single action.


@Aalasteir - Great art and last panel was creative.


@KittyhawkMontrose -

🟩 Art is top notch, and the atmosphere and pacing is perfect. I don’t want to spoil any of it. Amazing work.

🟥 Maybe it could’ve been longer to create more tension, but considering there was a page limit, this is good.


@Luis - Fun concept, great mood in the art, and the final panel is a great way to end it. Wondering if some minimal color might have helped it some.


@Mattyburrito - This gave me the same unnerving sensation as the horror manwha's friends used to link us to in our group chats back in college. The pacing felt reminiscent of Gantz. The shading and lighting of scenes also effectively adds to the mood. Also dig the monster design - sort of reminds me of a Heavens Smile from Killer7. 


@Rannitx - The monster is awesome. Love the fourth wall break at the end. Hope non of the readers have trypophobia! Big Junji Ito vibes which is a good thing. Hope you two work together again on your anthology. 


@NoMoreChie - the creepy tone and feel this comic holds throughout is awesome, shading is on point.


@VoicesByCorey - Has this undertone that's creepy and I liked it! Story felt unique to me and your illustrations were well drawn!


Dead Silence by Guileness


@Dannygoodshirt - The fact you told a coherent story with very little dialogue is generally impressive. I do wish the dialogue was written more clearly. Maybe the use of boxes could help. 


@Aalasteir - Gorgeous emphasis on darkness. The panels flow smoothly and fluently, making it a great joy to follow the story along with fantastic rich coloring!


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 Well paced, great horror leading up to the reveal, which is great. The art and composition are well executed. I like the use of color.

🟥 The kills could’ve been longer and more graphic, but that’s my only complaint.


@Luis - Fun typography and layouts. I think some pages come off a bit chaotic and disorganized.


@Mattyburrito - The artstyle gave me a classic, early-2000's Newgrounds kind of nostalgia. While I am unsure if this was the intent or not, 

I really enjoyed the tongue and cheek sort of edgy tone to the macabre and spooky narrative.


@Rannitx - Great colors and good contrast. I really like how the magical green fire casts a glow in the environment. Some of the poses are a bit stiff but I hope you do another entry next time. Awesome job!


@NoMoreChie - Love the sketchy early 2000s feel and look of this comic, the colors and rim lighting makes it a joy to look at but the overall comic ain't for me.


@VoicesByCorey - Dark tones really stood out in this comic, especially in your illustrations. The art was interesting for sure, but kinda felt lost in the story telling. Did enjoy it though!


Arctic Comission by Mardode


@Dannygoodshirt - Clean artwork, great composition, and natural feeling characters. The story went on a bit long, and the quality dipped toward the end, but I really liked the varied text and composition you pulled off.


@Aalastier - Wonderfully adventurous while bring great dynamism to the action. The vehicles scenes are drawn exceptionally well.


@KittyhawkMontrose - 🟩 The world building is great, and I like the characters. Props for all the shots of the snowmobiles. It’s a great misadventure!

🟥 Composition could be better on some pages, but that’s all I can think of.


@Luis - Sharp artwork, gives a good sense of the weather affecting the characters, expresses temperature with line and no color. Thought the end kind of fizzles out.


@Mattyburrito - I enjoyed the very blue collar approach and tone to the characters, you really do feel like you're on the job with them. This comic had a very pulpy kind of aura about it and it's probably just me - but MC gave me early 2000s Sega Dreamcast Protagonist vibes - and that's a plus in my book. (edited)


@Rannitx - Clean artwork, expressive characters. Props for using Krita! Feel like there is a good balance of tones at the beginning but it does seem to be less shaded at page 11 onward. But with deadlines that is completely understandable. Keep up the great work.


@NoMoreChie - Good use of setting to create a fun heist chase, the vehicle and characters were very well drawn with awesome expressions and pretty good sense of flow throughout the comic.


@VoicesByCorey - Simple black and white feeds this mysterious arctic land. Enjoyed your storytelling in this. Art felt simplistic at times, but it worked in my opinion!


Roundabout Rodeo by Atak0medive Zizistressa and Cowtomboy


@Dannygoodshirt - I love the art style and overall character designs were very expressive. The story was fun, but didn’t need to be that long. When it comes to dialogue, less is more.


@Aalasteir - Cool world-building and halftones add a lot to the atmosphere. The dynamic perspective shots enhance the storytelling.


@KittyhawkMontrosek - 🟩 Starts out strong and hard. The characters are super well designed, and world seems really cool. I could see myself reading this as a comic series! Also, Country Road mentioned. That’s always a plus.

🟥 After some good action, it got way too talky. I don’t know if that was the right way to end it, but like I said, I’d be up for more.


@Luis - Fun character designs and panels. Seemed a bit too wordy for my taste. Ending could have been more satisfying.


@Mattyburrito - A fun western saloon romp with a sort of post-apocalyptic aesthetic, rousing a similar tone to old Jouji Manabe doujins and Heavy Metal Magazine. I also dig the sort of Toriyama-esque irreverence and overall goofy nature of the characters, it's very charming. The pacing wavered a bit, but overall enjoyable.


@Rannitx - Cool world building in a way reminds me of Cowboy Bebop with the tech. Funny characters, wasn’t ready for an epic rap battle. Some of the panels are less consistent but again understandable with deadlines. Good job, keep it up!


@NoMoreChie - Fun cast of characters with charming looking art and perspective work, does fall off a bit near the end but still very enjoyable.


@VoicesByCorey - Unique characters, classic comic/manga feel to it, truly enjoyed everything about this! The story was pretty interesting as well!
