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

My Hero Academia

Kohei Horikoshi

The movie opens this week in Japan! I’m so excited! Will I be able to make it to opening night…?

Dr. STONE

Riichiro Inagaki

The anime was able to successfully conclude, and thanks to all of your support, we got a season 2! Thank you!

Agravity Boys

Atsushi Nakamura

The six years since my last serialization didn’t pass by in a flash at all. Those were six full years.

One Piece

Eiichiro Oda

Looking up what part of the cow makes up the T-bone steak was a newly harvested fact this week. So that’s where it is!

Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba

Koyoharu Gotouge

Why am I getting so many calluses on the palm of my left hand? Is this one of the seven wonders of the body…?

Haikyu!!

Haruichi Furudate

I don’t care if it’s the only one I can use, I want to learn the Accio spell from Harry Potter. Where’s my mechanical pen?

Chainsaw Man

Tatsuki Fujimoto

I’m so happy that the matcha cheesecake at Parm was delicious.

The Promised Neverland

Posuka Demizu

I’m using the Kuru Toga mechanical pencil all the time. I’m so happy for this Promised Neverland merchandise!

Zipman!!

Yusaku Shibata

So close to my favorite day of the year, New Year’s Eve! I’m gonna drink so much beer.

Mitama Security: Spirit Busters

Tsurun Hatomune

“I’m tired, so I’m just gonna close my eyes for five minutes” is a spell that puts me to sleep for an hour. That’s a lie! Two and a half hours.

ACT-AGE

Shiro Usazaki

Congratulations to Ms. Yonagi for being chosen as a JVC Brand Ambassador. Good job working so hard.

We Never Learn

Taishi Tsutsui

I’m stressed about my yearly physical but overjoyed that the comedy duo Untouchables is back!

Black Clover

Yūki Tabata

The voice actor for Asta, Kajiwara-san, and people involved in Jump Festa visited my studio. The treats they brought were super delicious!

Jujutsu Kaisen

Gege Akutami

I tried a scapular-retraction exercise, and not only could I not move, I hurt my back.

Mission: Yozakura Family

Hitsuji Gondaira

My only joy in life is depleting my editor’s Line app points by bombarding him with Kuro-chan stamps.

Samurai 8: The Tale of Hachimaru

Akira Okubo

I draw all the rough drafts of the manga with a blue pencil. It’s great because the lines are sharp and you don’t need to erase them.

Dr. STONE Reboot: Byakuya

Boichi

Doing two weekly series is possible if you work really hard, but having them be sci-fi raises the bar a lot…
