Hone no Gazo
Hone no Gazo ("Bones' Picture") was a series I made on Flipnote Hatena that ran from December 2010 to August 2011. The first episode was posted to Hatena on December 28, 2010, and the last was posted on July 21, 2011, though the series did not end until August 10, 2011, when the credits were posted.
The Animal Crossing-based story starts off with a human girl named PC who, for an undetermined amount of time, has been chasing after her lost love, Bones, via taxi. She temporarily joins forces with a past neighbor, Dora, to the land called Corn Town, where by a strange set of circumstance Bones also resides. However, trouble arises when Bones begins to ignore her and a group of neighbors do more than just meddling in their business.
The updates for the series were sporadic; it started off with a "once a day" updating schedule (though the first two episodes were put on the same day), but due to school, Episode 5 was posted almost two weeks after Episode 4. The following updates didn't seem to follow a pattern; some were posted once a week and others were posted whenever I had them ready.

To watch the episodes, click "Playlist" and it'll take you to the youtube playlist for that respective section. Even though Hatena shut down, I'm leaving the links for the Hatena pages because I feel a strange nostalgic attachment to that site, and don't want to lose the pages for the episodes just yet. I also did not want to delete this pretty colored text.
