The decision to don makeup and clothing personally, promoting one's own creations, brought unexpected success to Tsukigi Kousuke.
Japan has long been known as the birthplace of unique tricks and innovations. They have come up with many genuinely effective ideas with high practicality, although some products may seem bizarre. Occasionally, they also generate quirky and peculiar concepts that no one understands why, yet no one cares as long as it has brilliantly succeeded and gained recognition from many.
In July of last year, artist Tsukigi Kousuke sparked a social media frenzy with an unimaginable story. Being a creative person, this artist painted a picture and put it on a shirt. Unfortunately, Kousuke couldn't afford to hire a model due to the high cost.
Unable to find a solution, the artist decided to wear makeup and the shirt personally, promoting the product on social media. He candidly admitted being a 40-year-old man self-advertising his own shirt design. Surprisingly, this unconventional approach created a massive hit on social media.
Thanks to impressive makeup skills and photography, the image was widely shared. Tsukigi Kousuke's shirt design not only gained attention but the manga artist himself became a sensation. As of now, this picture has garnered over 12 thousand likes, something its owner certainly did not expect.
Most comments express a mix of admiration and bewilderment because, at a glance, Kousuke doesn't look like a middle-aged uncle at all. Instead, he appears as a cute model with gracefully long legs, taking selfies. In the comments section, there's a lot of praise, along with some people showing a puzzled attitude.
Following this unexpected success, Tsukigi Kousuke became a social media sensation. In addition to sharing drawings from manga and showcasing his new fashion products, the manga artist occasionally takes selfies and posts them online. While unable to reach the record of the first image, these photos also attract thousands of likes and a significant number of followers for Tsukigi Kousuke. It goes to show that success sometimes comes from the most unexpected things.
