Thoughts from the mangaka about their manga, lives and other random things.
One Piece
Eiichiro Oda
Matsunojo Kanda’s Wano Kodan performance was wonderful! He’s a rare genius of Japanese traditional theater. (Click HERE to see it)
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba
Koyoharu Gotouge
When I watch foreign drama shows while eating bread and coffee, I feel like I’m in America.
Dr. STONE
Riichiro Inagaki
Actual shipyards have impressive spaces called mold lofts where they make actual-size blueprints.
The Promised Neverland
Kaiu Shirai
This week is the final episode of the anime! It’s amazing until the end, so please don’t miss it!
ACT-AGE
Tatsuya Matsuki
There’s a drawing of my editor in the Weekly Shu-chan segment in the back of Japanese Shonen Jump. I laugh every week because the art really captures his features well.
Yui Kamio Lets Loose
Hiroshi Shiibashi
I’m excited about all the new movies coming out during spring break. They all look so good!
Haikyu!!
Haruichi Furudate
I’m sorry. I have to travel far for some research, so Haikyu!! will be off next week.
My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi
I’ve been watching the YouTube fishing show Tsuriyokadesho. They caught a stray cat, and now they’re unbeatable! So funny!
Black Clover
Yūki Tabata
I was looking at some miso soup and whispered, “Isn’t the flow of miso so artistic…?” My wife started to worry…
The Last Saiyuki
Daijiro Nonoue
I enjoy feeling the different seasons while I flip the months on my Noboru Baba calendar.
Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami
Last week I totally forgot to draw the Yu-Un weapon in the last four pages. I think I’ve also made a lot of kanji mistakes recently.
Boruto: Naruto Next Generations
Ukyo Kodachi
I see an interesting movie and my night is filled with a back-and-forth of “I have so much to learn from that” and “I would have done that part differently.”
We Never Learn
Taishi Tsutsui
I’ve been watching the music video of Study (the singing group made up of the We Never Learn anime voice actors) on loop. What a great song! Give it a listen!
Chainsaw Man
Tatsuki Fujimoto
I love the French toast from the Hoshino Coffee shop. And I don’t mean the breakfast one.
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
Shun Saeki
The Japanese zombie movie One Cut of the Dead is awesome!! I’ve already seen it five times.
Hell Warden Higuma

I’m currently addicted to karinto treats. They go so well with hojicha tea.

I know taking mental breaks makes you more efficient, but I’m very bad with regulating my on-off switch.
