Drawing a ton of Fujiko A. Fujio Sensei’s characters is what made me strive to become a mangaka. Rest in peace from the bottom of my heart.

I like video game playthroughs, but I don’t want to watch if it’s a game I want to play. Tough decision.

Even if I look at a still Tatsuya Fujiwara, I’m overcome by the feeling that he’s walking right toward me.

I bought all the volumes of Fuuta-kun, a series etched in my parents’ childhood memories. Fujiko A. Fujio’s art and worldview is timeless.

I lost my key on the way home from shopping. I spent an hour scouring the store and streets only for the key to turn up in my shopping bag. Why?

I delete all my comment ideas, think over things for another hour, and then write the exact same thing.
