I’m out of shape, so I recently started doing some exercises that I can do at home. I almost threw up.

Yusei Matsui

The one-shot in this week’s Japanese issue was done by my assistant Ashigaki. I’d be so happy if you would read it.

Ayakashi Triangle
Kentaro Yabuki

This curveball of a series has reached its one-year anniversary! Thank you so much for all the support!

Riichiro Inagaki

On Earth, you can pretty much only get niobium in Araxá. That’s why Senku and the others are there.

One Piece
Eiichiro Oda

The small figurines that are currently being designed behind the scenes are amazing! What kind of technique is this?!

Gege Akutami

I’ll be taking a short break. There will be additional information online, so please check that out too.

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

I often make mistakes with button placement for men and women, so just assume the clothes are unisex.

Blue Box
Kouji Miura

mm_bluebox_miura

I’ve been hooked on Mo’some Tonebender ever since my editor recommended the band.

Hajime Komoto

mm_Mashle_Komoto

I’ve lost four kilograms from my heaviest weight! I’m the bessssssst!!!

Me & Roboco
Shuhei Miyazaki

mm_meandroboco_Miyazaki

I don’t have time to go out and get my hair cut, so I’ve been thinking about doing it myself. Just like Ashitaka.

Candy Flurry
Ippon Takegushi

MM_candyflurry_Takegushi

The convenience store in my neighborhood has upped the pulpiness of its orange juice. I’m so glad!

Hitsuji Gondaira

Cleaning silver with baking soda, aluminum foil, and hot water is so much fun!

Magu-chan: God of Destruction
Kei Kamiki

MM_maguchan_ueki

I love video games, but I’m actually terrible at them. My favorite console is the Wii.

Ryo Nakama

Judging the Jump New World Manga Award was pretty tough, and I ended up spending the whole day mulling things over.

Undead Unluck
Yoshifumi Tozuka

MM_Undeadunluck Tozuka

I finished eating all the Valentine’s Day chocolate I received. It was so delicious that I can’t go back to regular chocolate.

WITCH WATCH
Kenta Shinohara

mm_witchwatch_Shinohara

Drawing the characters takes five days no matter what I do. And the storyboards take two and a half days. The math doesn’t add up.

Nine Dragons’ Ball Parade
Ashibi Fukui

mm_ninedragonsballp_fukui

I’m getting through each day with carbonated water and diet cola.

My hometown community center had this statue of a seal (I think?) that I was scared of as a kid.
