Recently, I've been going to the movies with my wife during the day. I go alone a lot at night too. It's fun!

I want to go on a trip to the town of Yakumo in Hokkaido, so I can see the carved wooden bears.

Hajime Komoto

I’m really hesitant to have my right wisdom tooth pulled. I’m afraid of pain!

Who knew drawing Dr. Stone would bring me this much joy…?

The Topanga SF5 Championship was the best! As expected, Programmer is incredible. Congrats to Fudo Papa!

Blue Box
Kouji Miura

Lately, I’ve been drinking a powdered sports drink after taking a nice bath. I like how it’s not too sweet.

Top Gun: Maverick. Overwhelmed by the happy fact that it feels like I saw a great American movie!

My Hero Academia
Kohei Horikoshi

mm_MHA_Horikoshi_

I was working while watching Sui Ishida Sensei’s drawing stream, and I feel like my art got better!

The Elusive Samurai
Yusei Matsui

I like the string gummy. But I also wrestle with the thought that there may be no point in being able to split pieces off.

Sakamoto Days
Yuto Suzuki

mm_Sakamotodays_Suzuki

I’ve been into grilling vegetables recently! Large grilled slices of zucchini are yummy.

WITCH WATCH
Kenta Shinohara

I went running for the first time in a million years and realized I can’t run anymore, so I got scared and quit running.

Aliens Area
Fusai Naba

mm_alien_area_naba

The shortened version of Aliens Area in Japanese sounds like “EriEri” and is kinda cute.

RuriDragon
Masaoki Shindo

mm_ruri_dragon_shindo

For this chapter I did the storyboards on my iPad. The fact that my desk doesn’t get super messy is a major plus.

PPPPPP
Mapollo 3

Natto candy is supergood! So is natto gum! And natto watermelon!

Mission: Yozakura Family
Hitsuji Gondaira

MM_yozakura Gondaira V2

My inner BGM when I drink Ohta Gastric Acid is the music when Mario gets a star. It can defeat even tempura and meat!

Me & Roboco
Shuhei Miyazaki

mm_meandroboco_Miyazaki

My dream to slowly turn it into a serious battle manga is coming true! Not like there’s any demand for that…

Super Smartphone
Hiroki Tomisawa

I returned from the kitchen after planning to get some pudding, but all I had in my hand was a spoon. Where’s my pudding?!

High School Family: Kokosei Kazoku
Ryo Nakama

mm_highschoolfam_nakama

Most of the rooms in my house are being used for storage, so I feel like a lot of my rent is going to waste.

Doron Dororon
Gen Oosuka

My editor brought me a lot of gifts from the Golden Kamuy exhibition. Brain marshmallows?!

Earthchild

Mr. Taguchi, who joined Jump after being a big fan of mine, has transferred. Well done. Congrats and thank you!
