Maximum Package!

Kia ora, friends!

Today I’m sharing a little thing that I will probably never finish because it’s just not really my sort of style I guess. I had fun writing it though and I shared it already on a couple social media places, and people seemed to enjoy it so I figured I would talk about it a little bit here as well, in case some of y’all missed it elsewhere.

I wrote this a little earlier in the week after it just sort of popped into my head while I was waiting for my mum’s late christmas present to arrive. If you’ve seen anime or read manga before, I think you’ll get what I was going for here - I can’t draw for shit, but I feel like I kinda nailed the general aesthetic of the writing in anime and manga. This one is very short, I banged it out in about five minutes, but I think you’ll like it. Let’s go.


“Max Package!!!! I challenge you!!”

“Oh no, that’s Dell Livery! She’s the best delivery driver in the city… how am I going to defeat her??”

“Not so fast, Dell! This here order literally has Max’s name on it, the customer asked for her specifically to deliver this Package!”

“Hah. Then that customer is a fool. I’ll defeat Max and deliver that package, and then the customer will know true delivery service!”

“Max’s delivery powers are second to none, you’ll never stop her.”

“Lettie, stop! I can’t defeat her!”

“Sure you can, Max. Ol’ Lettie Box is here and I’m not letting Dell Livery or anyone else stand in your way. Dell!! Come and take this package if you dare!!”


So what do y’all think? Hit me up in the comments or on the socials if you have any thoughts! Sorry theres’s not a lot of content today, I’m running a little bit on empty after christmas and new years still haha, especially since I knocked out all the posts that went live over the period so I wouldn’t have to write during the holiday. But I promise I’ll have something really great for y’all next week!

Thanks, as always, for reading, I really appreciate it. Once again, hit me up in the comments or on the socials at the bottom of the page if you have any feedback, comments or questions.
