-May 5, 2008-With this week's update comes the winners of the contest! First prize goes to HageshikuLady and the Veiwer's Choice goes to Ranefea! Thank you so much everyone who entered! I'll slowly be cycling these into the fanart section later on. Also, the new contest is up! For this year's upcoming Anniversary, we have a quiz! All of the answers to this quiz ARE on this site! Anyways, please have fun with it! Check out the contest page for more information! See you at ACen next weekend! ~Kojika

-May 2, 2008- Well, the contest is finally closed with 7 entries! It may not seem like a lot, but it was more than I was expecting to get! Thanks to ya'll for entering! The results of the contest will be announced next week! Good luck to you all! ~Kojika

-April 6, 2008- We finally made it to chapter 10 and Lily's appearance! It's been fun though, hee hee! But from here on out, I get to do the stories I've really been looking forward to! Also, we got a new affiliate, so check it out! The contest got extended to the end of this month, but that's it. After this, it's over. Please submit your entries, soon! The more entries, the bigger the prizes! Later! ~Kojika

-March 4, 2008- Sorry about the downtime on updates, lol. A lot has happened. I had my wisdom teeth removed (still in some minor pain) and the contest got extended again! Well, please enter this time around! We've already got one finished and it sounds like there are a couple on the way. Anyways, thanks for being so patient with me! Until later~! ~Kojika

2007-
-December 24, 2007- Happy Holidays, everyone! Tonight is Christmas Eve, and as a present to all of you...I got some volunteers together and we created a Zos Kias Drama CD! There is a sample of it on the information page for it, and some details about ordering it on the Shop page. Something a bit spontaneous and crazy, but it was fun to do! I probably won't post any news until the New Year, but look forward to it! Oh, and by the way...Boku No Kiseki is finally finished! Happy holidays everyone~! ~Kojika

-December 3, 2007- Finals week is rearing its ugly head, but next week will end my semester which means, hopefully, I'll get more done during Xmas break! I'm considering redoing the html (yeah, I know, I just redid this one a while ago), but I may hold off, depending. It's been a bit hectic lately, starting with my birthday this past month...which also happened to be the day my car got totaled. Also, with the onset of break means my work is off for that month, too, and I'll need to find other ways to make that money up to cover my car insurance and my new car. I promise I'll do my best to keep up with this though! I'm hoping to use some of the time over break to get myself quite a bit ahead of this, and I don't just mean layout. I also plan on trying to finish up Boku no Kiseki. Well, for final news, the new contest information has been posted! Thanks to all you who voted on DA~! Time to enjoy the holidays...yeah right! ~Kojika

-November 6, 2007- Just got back from YoumaCon, sorry but the unannounced skip day there! Please forgive me! Anyways, I did a panel at YoumaCon with Dirk of Paradigm Shift and Spike of Templar, AZ. Booooy, do I feel like a newbie now! But, I've still got time to learn about webcomics! After all, Zos is my first big one and it's only been going for little over a year! Anyways, I'm thinking up another contest, so I'll let ya all know what's going on when I figure it out. If there's something you'd like, give it a shout! Until later~! ~Kojika

-September 30, 2007- Well, I put up the contest winners information! Go check out the contest page if you wanna know who won! I'll put up another contest as soon as I decide on what I want to do next! Any suggestioms? I'd love to know what ya'll want to do! Well, until later~! ~Kojika

-September 29, 2007 Alright, I'll do an official write up here for the winners of the contest this coming week, but for now, I'm just closing the character poll! I said I'd close it soon, so now I am! ahahha! Well, so you all know, I will be writing a Kaze-kun back story into this! I might do a Natasha and Randy one as well! Light's is already part of it! A haha! Sorry, Umishin, but he just gets a side thing. Anyways, until next week~! ~Kojika

-September 23, 2006- Added text links for those of you who are having trouble with my new and nifty image map! Everything is directed to a new page, so hopefully I won't have to install them on every page for a while. Still, I DO plan on doing so, eventually. I'm just being lazy right now! Added some new art and whatnot, so take a look! I'll update again soon, since the contest ends this Wednesday! Until then~! ~Kojika

-September 16, 2007- Added the end date for the extension today...decided on September 26th, so two Wednesdays from now. That should be enough time for those who asked for the extension to get it done. Oh, and notice anything else a little different? I changed the graphics up a bit, just cause. Actually, there was a reason...the Gallery page was getting so cluttered, I decided to space it out more. Now, the main sections are divided into four different pages which you can see on the side navigation bar. Hopefully, that will make things a bit easier when navigating about. I changed the color scheme as well cause I really really detest the color pink! And it was driving me insane! GAAAO!!! And, finally, I updated some of the information on the other pages, like Database and FAQs! So, that's all for updates that I can think of...bai~! ~Kojika

-September 12, 2007- Well, last minute, the contest got extended, sorry! So, it will go on for just a little while longer! I will still leave it open as before for people to ask for a longer extension, but as of now, I'm not sure how long it will be. I can tell you at the very least it will be a week though. I'm hoping that two weeks is the max! So, thank ya'll for being patient~! I'll let you know ASAP when I know all the specs! Also, ZK is being backed up on a different server, too! So, check out my SmackJeeves account for it as well! That's all for updates for now, ciao! ~Kojika

-August 20, 2007- The last week of three page updates before I'm caught up on that month I missed! So, expect the third page tomorrow, as it's already almost fully inked! But, on to the real news...about the contest! I added the deadline today...decided on September 10th, albeit, it's subject to change. Also added some more fanart and another entry, as well as fixed some of the previous ones. Thanks for being patient with meh! ~Kojika

-August 13, 2007- Just got back from Ikasucon, and with that...there are some new surprises in store for ya'll on this site! There is a new section in the gallery section...Cosplay! And, there is also some new fanart by the ever insane and talented Ranefea! Also, I added a link from there to a page where you can see the contest entries I have recieved thus far! By the end of this week, I hope to have the deadline for the contest decided. And, last but not least...another chapter is over, and another chapter has started! So, another archived zip file! I'll try to make up for that last month during these next several weeks...~Kojika

-July 18, 2007- Well, like primised, the stuff for the new contest is up! Please go and check it out~! Try the gallery link to find it! This is the anniversary contest so it's different from the contests that I've held before! Please enter, and have fun~! Too bad I lost that month, otherwise Trevor would have already been in here...~Kojika

-July 16, 1007- Sorry guys! I really am deeply sorry! I had wanted to get all the pages up during this month, but I was pretty much without internet the whole time. I also had to push back starting the new contest, but I will be starting it later this week, I promise! I hope to have it started by tomorrow, actually. Depends on how things go tonight! But, I'll try to make up for it and maybe do a 3 page update nextweek. Otherwise, the next couple updates are going to be a little odd, as is...there is a 2-page spread that got split, so it's going up as one. But, I'll get to that moreso when I end up coming to it. But, please be patient with me! Oh, and if you're at Otakon this weekend, come and say Hi~! ~Kojika

-June 09, 2007- I'm extending the third contest a little longer (til the 14th). But, since this contest was just something to help me fill the gap between contests, it's nothing fancy, and I'm not too worried about it. Also, I'm no longer accepting preorders for Zos as I will have the books in hand next week! Yay~! Thank you guys so much for all your support! There will be a new contest coming soon! I'll be leaving for Japan next Saturday for a month, but hopefully, since I have all the next several weeks of pages drawn up, ZK will still keep on going! I also had to redo the shoutbox since that site it was given from is kinda...dead.~Kojika

-May 29, 2007- Well, Zos Kias is still at the publishers (there were some problems..), but I got the proofs in today and they told me I would have the actual books sometime next week! So, this is the last week for preorders! If you want to get it with a free bookmark, act now! The first con that it will be sold at should be Jafax, but I will be the one member of Pink Door Inc who won't be attending (so Sakura is handling sales there). Otakon and Ikasucon are next, so look out for it there, too! I will be in Japan for a month coming up, but I'm hoping to get enough pages done to allow me to keep this going while I'm over there. I'll let you guys know more about that though when it gets a little closer (still 3 weeks away). I've added a new poll for you guys to vote on favorite characters! And, please don't forget about this contest! The next contest is the one I'm really looking forward to! Have a great summer~! ~Kojika

-May 7, 2007- Alright, AnimeCentral this weekend! And, look..I added a new feature...the shop link! Why,.,.? Cause Zos Kias volume 01 is at the publishers~! That's right, you can now own it in physical form! Thanks so much for all your support! After ACen, I have Animazement which will be the first official con that Zos Kias will be sold at! (Prior to that is preorder). Yay~! ~Kojika

-April 18, 2007. Wee~! Another con this weekend! Con season has started~! Anime St Louis this weekend, then ACen and Animazement in May. I should have artist table at all of them, so if you're there, give me a holler! I'm looking forward to drawing next week's pages. Hee hee! I have some partial profiles up for some of the newer characters. I'll get the images and whatnot up when I get the chance. Also, the third contest is up! Until later, ~Kojika

-Mar 07, 2007. Sorry about the lack of news! Life has been hectic and busy, but Spring Break is upon me~! There are some new things up in the gallery section! I'm also seriously thinking I could use some help with Zos Kias. if you are interested, please e-mail and I'll tell you exactly the kind of help I need (since I could always use people for several different things). Chapter 5 will start next week, waku waku suru ne~! X3 ~Kojika

-Jan 08, 2007. Happy New Year's everybody~! I've been extremely busy with OhayoCon and my artist table there, but now that that's over (even though school's about to start up again), I'm slowly cstching up with everything! There are some new fanarts up, and chapter 4 has started~! Yay! ~Kojika

2006-
-Dec 19, 2006. Well, things in a way have cooled down for me..but all the same, I'm still really busy. But, so far, Zos Kias has yet to suffer! Anyways, don't forget to check out the contest! And, we also have some new art up (both from myself and fanart), so check the gallery section~! Ciao! ~Kojika

-Dec 12, 2006. Ah yes...finals week. Joy. Still got one final left to go (two of my classes didn't even have one luckily), then comes the holiday rush of getting all those holiday pictures done! But, luckily, I'm managing everything all right and getting things done. Zos Kias is having it's second contest which you can see more about in the Gallery section! Thanks and congrats to all those who entered and those who won the logo contest~! Your Kaze-kun prints are on the way! Also, go check out Project Pantheon, a brand new sci-fish action comic that I'm doing the art for. Until later! ~Kojika

-Nov 24, 2006. Happy Thanksgiving everyone~! Sorry I haven't posted any news lately...I've been extremely busy! I'm now working three jobs, plus taking on comissions, and helping out with two other webcomics. At least I'm managing to keep Zos Kias up ^^; (but if it gets too hard, I may have to drop it down to one page a week). Please be patient with meh! ~Kojika

-Oct 24, 2006. Not sure how many of you people read this...but I'm hitting two anime conventions in November and should have an artist table at both! YoumaCon in Troy, MI from Nov 3-5, and AnimeUSA in Virginia Nov 17-19! Look for Pink Door Inc to find me! But if not, you can always try to look for me in my cosplay! (see Darker Side of Destiny for cosplay). I'd love it if you would stop and say Hi~! Eventually, I'll probably do a Zos cosplay with some of my friends X3 ~Kojika

-Oct 20, 2006. I think I finally figured out how to get my html working, so enjoy the new format X3 I may eventually change it, but for now, I'm keeping it simple and easy to manage as I want to spend more time on the actual manga work than the html! Haha! But, I also have a forum for Zos now, though there's not much up there yet. Please feel free to join and make it merry! Chapter 2 is coming to its end! Next page will be the last page of it and then followed by the start of chapter three! Don't forget the contest!~Kojika

- Oct 12, 2006, Zos Kias has left its previous host, Project Yume-mitai, and is now invading Comic Genesis instead! I'm going to try and get everything up as quickly as I can, but take note that regardless of what I do, I have a 56k modem and around 3 hours to do everything I need to do. So, please bear with us as we get this site entirely functional! And, sorry for the late updates this week~! I didn't want to post them til I had this site semi-functional...The forum link may never be active (as I might swap it out for something later), but depending on how Zos Kias is by the end of this month, I may make a forum for it. ~Kojika
