AC, short for “Anime Chocobo” (also Chokobo) is the original creation of blank_death, xAKaTOx, and sasameyuki (circa 2000). The three artists, who knew each other through a tutoring facility called the Kumon center (owned by blank_death’s mother), decided to collaborate on a comic, later named AC, in which each of the artists would be represented by a character of their own design in an alternate world, specifically Demon Academy (DA). All of the AC characters board together at an old renovated inn that has come to be called “the AC house”. Over the years new members were added, old members lost touch, and characters were given boyfriends and girlfriends, some of whom outlived the original characters. Though output is rare, the most current of the AC members still keep the comic alive.
