Rearranging my room and setting up all the desks and chairs for my assistants as I prepared for the serialization was rough!

I grew up being influenced so much by FF9, so I’m hoping for a perfect anime version. Can’t wait!

The multiplication table learning in India depends on the region. Seems like up to 19 x 19 is pretty common.

The Elusive Samurai
Yusei Matsui

I try hard not to use modern words in the series, but there’s just no alternative for "perverted.”

The first manga I bought all the volumes of was Neuro. And now I’m in the same magazine as Matsui Sensei. I’m overwhelmed with emotion.

Mission: Yozakura Family
Hitsuji Gondaira

I’m emotional over the passion and fetishism of the video featuring Resident Evil 8’s Dimitrescu being attacked with a flyswatter.

Black Clover
Yūki Tabata

My wife has been doing an impression of Mista’s Stand Six Bullets lately. It’s really good!

This summer I feel like I’m gonna eat a ton of Meiji Super Cups. Because I’m a Puyo Puyo player!

Kei Kamiki

Plushies of the mini Magu-chans are nice and bouncy. They should be on sale 7/19 in Japan!

It’s starting to get hot, and lately the stars of my dinner table are soba, somen, and cold Chinese noodles.
