Fans voice their concern after the departure of The Beginning After the End artist

Why did the artist quit the project?

In a message shared on Instagram, artist Fuyuki23, whose real name is Duta Permana, announced that he and his production house, Kisai Entertainment, have made the unexpected decision to withdraw from the production of The Beginning After the End season 6 chapter 1.

For six years, Fuyuki23 and Kisai Entertainment collaborated closely with TurtleMe, the creator of The Beginning After the End, and the platform Tapas Entertainment to develop the visuals for the series.

However, this partnership has abruptly ended due to a sudden change in the payment structure imposed by the platform. Fuyuki23 and his team felt that the new arrangement was totally unfair.

He also extended his thanks to the readers who have backed his art and asked them to continue supporting TurtleMe's "baby," the series in which he has invested so much time and effort. Fuyuki23, as per his own admission, will continue reading the series with interest to see how the story unfolds.

Fuyuki23 also shared his excitement for the future, revealing that he will continue working with his production company, Kisai Entertainment. Although the specifics were not detailed, Fuyuki23 expressed his desire to create an epic adventure fantasy. While the timeline for this new project remains uncertain, he sincerely hopes for the continued support from his audience.
