Thank you for all the fan mail. Sorry I cannot reply, but I do read them!

I went fishing for the first time in about a year! I had fun, but I could feel how out of shape I was. Exercise!

Candy Flurry
Santa Mitarashi

Candy Flurry is a lighthearted comedy battle manga. Please give it a chance!

Jujutsu Kaisen
Gege Akutami

I was studying history when I realized that all these people are dead. Talk about spoilers!

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

I’m already hyped for the next Venom movie. I’ve been eagerly awaiting the appearance of Carnage!

Black Clover
Yuki Tabata

Chapter 291 had “Magma” instead of “Magna,” and chapter 292 had a kanji mistake in an attack name. These are like “find the differences” level of errors.

Dr. STONE
Boichi

I love Inagaki Sensei’s story so much lately that I’m transfixed!

The Elusive Samurai
Yusei Matsui

My earholes are so big that my earphones are too loose. I can’t hear the low notes at all…

High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku
Ryo Nakama

mm_highschoolfam_nakama

My work area has become more like a storage space. I’d really like to clean it up and make it more comfortable. But I’ve been telling myself that for three years.

Mashle: Magic and Muscles
Hajime Komoto

mm_Mashle_Komoto

Eating Don Tacos chips makes me feel like I’ve gone to Mexico. I love them!

Blue Box
Kouji Miura

mm_bluebox_miura

The Chinatsu that Miyazaki Sensei drew for the Roboco chapter in issue 23 was so cute. Thank you so much!

Sakamoto Days
Yuto Suzuki

mm_Sakamotodays_Suzuki

When I’m stuck on the story, I get super stressed and my legs start shaking unconsciously like crazy.

Ayakashi Triangle
Kentaro Yabuki

MM_ayakashitriangle_yabuki

I looked at my comment from two weeks ago and cried. I can keep going thanks to Godzilla S.P.!

Magu-chan: God of Destruction
Kei Kamiki

MM_maguchan_ueki

My favorite Apex Legends character is Bloodhound. I also like Valkyrie. Liking them and being able to use them well are two separate things…

Hard-Boiled Cop and Dolphin
Ryuhei Tamura

mm_hardboiledcopand_Tamura

I drew Haebaru’s right hand in chapter 39. I’m sorry. I will fix it in the graphic novels.

Undead Unluck
Yoshifumi Tozuka

MM_Undeadunluck Tozuka

I’ve been watching Tougo Ishii Sensei’s Jeet Kune Do videos. The one-inch punches are so cool!

It took a whole month for me to pick up a notebook that had dropped from my desk. I could have done it in three seconds, but I didn’t.

Nine Dragons’ Ball Parade

“Since when have I had this shirt?!” is what I said before putting it on and heading out. It wasn’t until the evening that I realized it was inside out.
