FAQs

Why is the event called ‘Soba Brothers Week’?
[Manga spoilers] In Chapter 426 of the manga it was revealed that Shouto and Touya share the same favorite food: Soba. Since Shouto’s & Touya’s birthdays are conveniently one week apart, this felt like the perfect time to hold an event!
Does what I create need to be set in the canon universe?
Nope! Your creation does not need to be canon. We would love to see your canon-divergent or other AUs.
Will NSFW and Mature content be accepted?
Since the focus of the event is on Shouto and Touya’s relationship as siblings, NSFW content does not fit the scope of this event and will not be allowed. Other mature content such as death, trauma, violence, etc. will be allowed as long as they are appropriately tagged.

**Please note: Although we have some restrictions on the type of content allowed for this event, we support everyone’s right to create and consume whatever they like in their own spaces. Any harassment regarding what people create and consume outside of this event will not be tolerated.
