Before UQ Holder, Negima! or even Love Hina, doujinshi illustrator turned Shōnen Magazine's Rookie Award winner Ken Akamatsu started producing running manga with 1994 A.I. Love You, the story of an otherwise happless genius programmer who creates an AI girlfriend. Evidently a computer enthusiast himself, Akamatsu has shown off some manga creation on an Apple II running Linux.

A feature on producing UQ Holder on GIMP with the retro PC will be presented in Weekly Shōnen Magazine on February 17th.

Here, he shows off working with a PSD file in GIMP.
