The hive was counting on you. That was probably a mistake. Deep beneath the Green Forest, the nuno have a problem. A sacred relic has vanished. The tunnels are whispering. And the only help they could find… is you. This month's Star Gazer one-shot (The Murmuring Root) drops your 5e party into the buzzing, fungal world of the nuno — carapaced weirdos with excellent coordination and terrible table manners. Inside you'll find: - Hive drama, biohazards, and social tension you can smell. - 4 unforgettable bugfolk NPCs with opinions as sharp as their mandibles. - New monsters, new items, new reasons to fear compost. Adventure, battlemaps, and dark humor await — all in this month’s crunchy, mossy, mayhem-filled issue of The Star Gazer. 🕯️ Learn more: https://mycatportal.com/pages/the-star-gazer

"When your outlook on life and death changes, your life itself changes." That’s what one Japanese reader wrote after finishing Hi-chan no Monogatari. And we felt the same. This is not just a manga. It’s a mother listening to the mysterious, funny, and heartbreaking words of her three-year-old daughter—memories of a “World in the Sky” before birth, where souls choose their parents and carry little bags of snacks to survive the journey. Hi-chan no Monogatari will make you laugh at the smallest things — and cry at the ones you never expected. In Japan, this story has already moved tens of thousands of people, sold nearly 100,000 copies, and even made it to national TV. Published under the title おかあさん、お空のセカイのはなしをしてあげる! 胎内記憶ガールの日常 (Okaasan, osora no sekai no hanashi o shite ageru! Tainai kioku gāru no nichijō), it is now making its way into English for the very first time. We at Ali Ribelli / My Cat Portal Studio knew we had to bring it to you. When we first read it in Japanese, it pierced us in a way few stories can—tender, absurd, and profoundly true all at once. If you’ve ever laughed with a child, cried for a loss, or wondered about the invisible threads that connect us before and after life, Hi-chan no Monogatari is a book you won’t forget. Coming very soon on Kickstarter. ✨ Discover more here: https://hichan.mycatportal.com
