More people are working from home and sending me pictures and videos of their pets through social media. I love it.

Apparently, you can catch fish and birds and even alligators with Mentos and cola. It’s a mystery, but Mentos cola is amazing.

I started creating storyboards on my computer, and they’ve become much easier to read! The power of science!

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

I want to take classes at the Jump School of Manga too. I’m jealous of everyone who gets to do it.

A normal rhinoceros beetle is really weak against heat. Never put them close to fire.

After finishing the chapter, I had a Rush Duel with my assistants. I got my butt kicked.

Haikyu!!

I’m so grateful that I’m allowed to use the real V.League logo in the manga, for extras in the graphic novels and in advertisements.

This happened a while back, but during all this chaos I got a new editor. Welcome to the team, Iwasaki! Thank you for everything, Fukuda!

Recently I’m sometimes hot and sometimes cold. I sometimes wear socks and sometimes don’t. That’s how my days have been going.

When it comes to ramen, there’s just no way my cooking can compete. I really wanna go out and eat some.

Dogs have always barked at me. Is there a reason? Tell me!!

Undead Unluck
Yoshifumi Tozuka

The page after Victor first appears had a picture of Super Saiyan 3 Goku. What a shock.

Mission: Yozakura Family
Hitsuji Gondaira

I’m not a fan of gross stuff, but the food in the show Hannibal looks good. Perhaps because Mads is so sexy.

Guardian of the Witch
Asahi Sakano

I got Netflix after my editor recommended it. The original shows are great!

Agravity Boys
Atsushi Nakamura

I easily reached the top rank of “god” on the food-delivery app Demae-kan. If there was an even higher rank, I think I could get it.
