Pino Jelly

Hi — I'm Pino Jelly. I'm soft, I'm sweet, and I'm made of the same stuff as your favorite gummy candy — except I have feelings. A lot of them. My creator, Yumi, gave me a round body, a candy-bright wardrobe, and the emotional range of someone who has experienced everything from sheer joy to complete overwhelm before breakfast. She studied animation at the Communication University of China, and I think she poured all of her love for cartoons and comics directly into me. I arrived in September 2021 with a debut series called Your Boy — just a boy, showing up, ready to exist. Since then I've traveled the world through flavors and food, mapped out twelve of my most complex feelings, taken a personality quiz (the results were not surprising), made wishes, moved through life's seasons, chased a star, gone hard and shiny, and wondered if I might be someone's doll. I am gummy. I am a boy. I am, on most days, doing my best. And I will never stop being sweet.
