@EARTHM0VERRR "No mangaka can give us 2 top tier manga at the same time, aside from Naoki Urasawa of course."

A few days ago, someone I met told me something.
They said that when I took down my artwork from X last Christmas, in protest against the unauthorized use of creators’ images and works for AI generation, it was one of the first such actions taken by a well-known mangaka.
They told me it was a very brave act—that it delivered a powerful message and gave courage to many people.
I am truly grateful to hear such words.
Thank you very much.
But to me, that praise feels undeserved and excessive.
Because at that time, all I did was run away.
I said I would take down my drawings and leave—and then I left.
Yes, that was all I did.
It was not an “action.”
It was, in fact, “a retreat.”
Running away is not the same as taking action.
Of course, I understand that sometimes running away can require courage.
But as someone whose profession is to convey messages of courage and action through my work, what I did does not qualify as a courageous retreat.
Rather, those who stayed, fought, and endured humiliation are the truly courageous ones.
In any case, I ran away at that time.
And when I thought about the global suffering of artists, and the humiliation they endure, I felt immense pain.
We are simply doing what we love—what we are passionate about.
And what we do is something that makes us human.
For 50,000 years—no, even before that, since the time when humans gathered in caves and lived together as communities—this is what we have done.
Of course, not everyone may agree, but I believe that creation is one of the most fundamentally human acts possible.
We love it. And we are proud of it.
We believe it is deeply human, and something that exists for humanity.
What we want is something very small.
We simply want the drawings we create to be recognized as ours—as the work of their creators.
What is born from my hands carries my thoughts and is shaped by my life.
All I ask is for this to be acknowledged.
But lately, it feels like even this small wish is drifting further and further away.
That thought kept coming back to me, and it caused me great distress.
So I threw away all the medicine I was supposed to take for my health.
I stopped eating and just lay there, thinking.
On the fifth day, I received a message from a great senior mangaka sensei.
My wife, in tears, conveyed that message to me.
That was when I got up again.
I started taking my medicine, and I began eating again.
So my courage—my fight—did not begin on the day I ran away from X.
It began at that moment. 1/5
