WSJ 2023 #39 TOC

Kill Blue

I don’t really feel worthy, but I’m so happy to get cover and color pages thanks to all of you. I’ll keep striving to improve.

Mission: Yozakura Family

Hitsuji Gondaira

Just thinking about how I’m going to get to see Hanyu do a lot of cool things from now on is entertaining in and of itself.

My Hero Academia

Kohei Horikoshi

It should have been Tsukuyomi instead of Dark Shadow!! I’m so sorry, Tokoyami and All Might!

Blue Box

Kouji Miura

I went to the serialization celebration party. Thanks to all the manga artists who talked with me.

Sakamoto Days

Yuto Suzuki

Congratulations, Tabata Sensei! I’m looking forward to the winter issue of Jump GIGA!

Nue's Exorcist

Kota Kawae

I had grilled shiitake with salt and lime juice. It was wonderful. Give it a try!

WITCH WATCH

Kenta Shinohara

I went to the serialization celebration party for the first time in forever. It was so fun to talk to all my fellow manga artists.

Jujutsu Kaisen

Gege Akutami

Apparently, there’s no such thing as the Japanese phrase “Ma wo tsubusu”(to crush space). “Tsumeru”(to stuff something) does exist though.

Cipher Academy

Yuji Iwasaki

I take an hour-long walk every day while using the Tadataka Ino step-counter app. Apparently it will take me over ten years to walk from one end of Japan to the other…

Akane-banashi

Takamasa Moue

I went home for the first time in a while, and my dad had turned my old room into his gaming room.

The Elusive Samurai

Yusei Matsui

If you work with a pen, you get a callus on your middle finger. If you work digitally, you get it on your pinkie. I wish I could tell Sherlock Holmes.

Martial Master Asumi

Kawada

I’ve been creating this series fully digitally. It’s really convenient, and I don’t think I can go back to pen and ink.

UNDEAD UNLUCK

Yoshifumi Tozuka

I went to the serialization celebration party. Keep it a secret that I forgot to buy a belt and was holding my pants up with the cord from a plastic bag.
