Since I visit the Jump editorial offices weekly, I was given the lowest rarity rank among the creators at the New Year's party. I cried.

It's getting really tough to turn down friends who want to hang out, so I really need to learn how to work faster.

There's a drawing of my editor in the Weekly Shu-chan segment in the back of Japanese Shonen Jump. I laugh every week because the art really captures his features well.

There was a time when I was agonizing over whether I should buy a yearly pass for the Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. But I haven't gone a single time this past year...

I'm usually team Yoshinoya when it comes to beef bowls, but sometimes I cheat on them and go to Matsuya. That sauce and free miso soup is hard to beat.

Starting next year, I'm running off to the Tohoku region when the rainy season starts. Maybe Hokkaido would be good.

I've now been suffering from tonsillitis and rhinitis for a month. I can't stop coughing, so being at a cafe is awkward.

Money no Tora ('Money Tigers,' known as Shark Tank in the U.S.) and Ai no Binbo Dasshutsu Sakusen (Mission of Love: Escape from Poverty)-if they brought these shows back, I'm sure I'd be a couch potato.

The Grand Cinema Sunshine in Ikebukuro has the largest IMAX screen in Japan. I'm upset that I missed seeing Dunkirk there.

I was writing the manga in a net cafe when some tough guy started messing with me. Tokyo is a scary place.

I've been walking around the park while I work. My mind and body seek the green scenery. Though I was very surprised to learn that they raised the price of admission to the national garden.
