At VIZ we have a "style sheet" for each title, and now we’re adopting the term for this weekly series about style at our office! We are a diverse group, but we have one thing in common: we love manga, anime and Japanese pop culture. Luckily, we don't have a strict dress code. So set aside your expectations of "work safe" looks and enjoy this sneak peek into the style, clothes and lives of VIZ employees…

Come back each Wednesday to see new looks to complement your own unique style! And you can see all our Style Sheet posts here.

NAME: John Bae
DEPARTMENT: Shonen Jump
POSITION AT VIZ: Weekly Shonen Jump Digital Content Editor

WHERE DID YOU GROW UP?
Two places: In Colombia until the age of 3 (I can speak conversational Spanish, but like a little kid!) and then Miami, the U.S.'s very own interzone.

WHAT IS A TYPICAL DAY AT WORK FOR YOU?
Come to work. Read comics. Laugh. Get irritated by Brown and Alexis. Yell at them. Eat. Laugh. Read comics. Yell. Write. Look at the time every minute starting at 4:55. Go home.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR FASHION STYLE?
I have a few essential rules when it comes to fashion. Is it comfortable? Is it not ugly? Will it not hinder me from running away from the police or danger? If the answer is "yes" to all, then chances are I'll wear it.

HOW IS YOUR STYLE INFLUENCED BY MANGA, ANIME, OR JAPANESE FASHION?
Uh...I'm not really influenced by any of those things. Music is probably the biggest influence in terms of what I wear.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE CLOTHING STORES AND FASHION WEBSITES?
My favorite store is the one that has cheap T-shirts. My favorite website is the one that sells cheap T-shirts. Or Uniqlo.

WHAT FASHION ACCESSORY CAN YOU ABSOLUTELY, POSITIVELY NOT LIVE WITHOUT?
My belt. Or else my pants would fall off.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO OUTSIDE OF WORK AS A CREATIVE OUTLET AND FOR FUN?
I like to draw! I used to play a lot of games like Scrabble and chess as well. I'd really like to learn how to play go well.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE CURRENT VIZ MANGA OR ANIME?
One Piece! One-Punch Man!

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE VIZ MANGA OR ANIME OF ALL TIME?
Vagabond, Phoenix, One Piece.
