Follows a tradition of alternatively published comics, like Tom Sidell's classic Gunnerkrigg Court or Maarten van der Meer's more recent Freddy. Instead of serialized chapter releases in a magazine, for example Weekly Shōnen Jump, these example both have a regular output of single pages or panels. This is made possible due to them being independently published. There are major platforms for this, like Webtoons, though these typically mimic a traditional publisher anyway. In the case of Gunnerkrigg Court, even a custom website is self-hosted[1]. A comic project that was similarly created as an exploration of mental health issues, is 100日後に死ぬワニ (This Croc will Die in 100 Days), self-published on the platform formerly known as Twitter 2019-2020. This project is fascinating on several accounts, one being the 'John Dies at the End'-factor: every page features a countdown of the days Croc has left to live, and this impending fate it often used as an explicit framing device for that day's comic page. (I was able to read this comic as it was coming out, which was a special experience. Especially as the final pages were released in the first week of COVID lockdown)
