The story
On 5ch’s “Nnews VIP” board, a poster who calls themselves “Jiga-chan” revealed their X (Twitter) account and started a thread calling out, “Anyone want to connect?” The poster shared original music within the thread and also pointed to a separate account where they post artwork, trading messages with other posters about their age and creative process. They say they usually draw digitally, but plan to try an analog collage piece for a December exhibition. Some commenters, however, questioned whether the account was really genuine and whether it was okay to follow without asking, sparking a side discussion about how to treat a self-introduction that originates on an anonymous message board.
Unlocked it.

Listened to it! Kind of a fun, upbeat song
Listened to it, that's a seriously good ballad
Thanks~ I worked hard today
Someone with no tripcode once mistook me for the real "Jiga-chan" and asked if that was me
Eh!? No way
Nice one 😌
What are you having for dinner?
Actually I already ate~
Rice and natto
Glad to hear it
Getting unfollowed really stings, you know
I won't unfollow you!
Lucky 😭 I'm working again tomorrow
Aw, no…
While you're off, go check out some fabric!
Already ordered the fabric~
It's fine, go ahead and laugh and joke about it, that's okay too
Because I just want everyone to have fun together
Let's have fun together~
This is the account where I post my art
Wait?? That's so cute 😭!!
I love the coloring and how colorful it is…
B-based on the style of this art, is Jiga-san 25 or younger?
Drawing pixel art is fun
I'm 23~
Nyaa, really!? Didn't expect you to be that young, I'm surprised! Hmm, interesting~
You're that surprised, huh lol
I'm so jealous you can draw!!
I keep thinking it'd be nice if I could make my own album art (;_;)
Album art, nice~
Nice! I want you to draw lots of girls lol
I hear coloring's easier that way!
I usually draw digitally, but for the exhibition I'm planning to make an analog collage~
So you can do analog too~!!
Getting to show work alongside all kinds of people sounds fun, but it seems like it'll take a lot of energy 😭
Yeah~ but analog is harder…
I'll do my best for the exhibition
I draw girls and androgynous characters~
Compositions that break down halfway into pixel art… have that "yumekawa" (dreamy-cute aesthetic) vibe going on, so good 🥰
Sure, I'll draw one lol
I'll draw an otoko no ko with wings
Background and Talking Points
Threads like this pop up regularly on the VIP board — a genre where someone identifies themselves and asks for social media followers — and there’s no way to verify authenticity beyond the poster’s own word. Details like age, occupation, and working style are all based purely on the poster’s own statements, with no third-party confirmation available. Some commenters in the thread voiced doubts, asking “Is this really them?” and “Is it okay to just follow without asking?”, making the question of how much distance to keep from a self-introduction that started on an anonymous board a loose but recurring theme. Aside from that, the actual back-and-forth — reactions to the original songs, talk about art style, plans for the December exhibition — stayed friendly small talk throughout, with no sign of backlash or conflict. Readers should keep in mind that posts like this are ultimately just self-reported claims on an anonymous board, and neither the linked account’s authenticity nor its connection to the thread’s original poster has been officially confirmed.
