Thoughts from the mangaka about their manga, lives, and other random things.
One Piece
Eiichiro Oda
Right now he’s got a halo on his head and he’s saying “Sure is tough to be a mangaka” while building models without a care in the world. I salute you.

I can’t even calculate how much influence you had on me. I’m so sad. May you rest in peace.
