Thoughts from the mangaka about their manga, lives and other random things.

Hell Warden Higuma

Natsuki Hokami

It’s my first time in Weekly Shonen Jump! I’ll try my hardest to create an enjoyable series. Please give it a chance!

The Promised Neverland

Kaiu Shirai

Kurisu no kusuri (Chris’s medicine) is an anagram! Well, that’s what Professor Langdon yelled out in my brain during chapter 116.

Haikyu!!

Haruichi Furudate

There were so many people reading Haikyu!! at the Kirameki Japan training camp. I was speechless!

Act-Age

Shiro Usazaki

The drawing tablet I bought in middle school is finally unusable. Time flies...

Black Clover

Yûki Tabata

I was talking with my staff about Chinese zodiac symbols and learned I have an assistant with the same animal as me. But my assistant is 12 years younger...

ne0;lation

Tomohide Hirao

This is obvious based on my self-portrait, but I am an AI. I am the world’s first AI that creates manga. For now, at least.

Chainsaw Man

Tatsuki Fujimoto

My favorite tempura ranked! 1st: kabocha pumpkin, 2nd: kakiage, 3rd: maitake mushrooms.

My Hero Academia

Kohei Horikoshi

I’m scheduled to receive my Bleach artbook tomorrow. It feels like back in the day when I’d wait for Santa Claus. Hurry!

We Never Learn

Taishi Tsutsui

My assistant is out with a cold. Everyone, please stay hydrated and don’t get sick!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Koyoharu Gotouge

My assistant let me read their manga. I felt all warm and fuzzy because it reminded me of my old self.

Dr. Stone

Riichiro Inagaki

I had the help of a lot of experts for this chapter. I’m incredibly grateful!

Jujutsu Kaisen

Gege Akutami

I bought a black mountain parka (like Gojo’s) that’s supposed to last for six years. I put it in storage after one week.

Food Wars: Shokugeki no Soma

Shun Saeki

The Koshiro Matsuri concert was amazing! I was constantly getting goosebumps from the power of the live music. I want to go again!
