I have three assistants, but there isn't a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
In Japan there is a lot of manga, but around manga there are video games, manga on cellphones, manga in card games... so people not only enjoy manga but also the products around it.
The message is that if you believe in what you create, it's enjoyable and people will follow. The talented mangaka should know that; otherwise, no one would read or enjoy it. So believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is important.
In Japan, artists and fans are rather far apart from each other.
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.
The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.
If I want to draw more in a particular scene that I think is important, because of time I cannot. That's hard for me. But I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.
When I draw the scene that I'd been dreaming about or had always wanted to draw, that is the time that I'm happiest.
For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.
If it's me, it would be a waste not to dance no matter what.Collection: Would Be

In this world, perfection is an illusion. Reagrdless of all those who utter the contrary, this is the reality. Obviously mediocre fools will forever lust for perfection and seek it out. However, what meaning is there in perfection? None. Not a bit. ...After perfection there exists nothing higher. Not even room for creation which means there is no room for wisdom or talent either. Understand? To scientists like ourselves, perfection is despair. - Kurotsuchi Mayuri (Bleach 306)Collection: Mean

Between last night and this morning, I've been getting a lot of messages from overseas fans along the lines of 'There's an American comic ripping off Bleach!' I'm not that good at English, but I looked at the site and it seems it's a comic by Nick Simmons, the son of Gene Simmons. To be honest, I'm more bothered by the fact that Gene Simmons' son is a comic artist than whether or not it's a rip-off.Collection: Morning
