I believe Horikoshi can surpass Oda one day! 🐉

remain* It seems I was right to be worried, I'll speak a little clear, that party is one who would seem to align with Russia, they are not to be trusted under any circumstance that they will fulfil their end of the deal. We made a commitment to Ukraine, they will not honour it.

Ignoring the obvious, how very on brand, answered with "Play stupid games win stupid prizes." like it should have been a while ago. I can only hope Ukraine will remained unharmed from all this, that party is useless and contains certain types of people.

That party promises the world, anyone who looks closer than the surface can tell they're liars who will do more damage, yet the others aren't much further from them, something new must happen, people who truly wish to understand must be sought out to lead instead.

People do not follow blindly and even the "insane" choice can seem more appetising, even if it is the wrong choice still, promises mean nothing if there is not intention of fulfilling them.

There is only finality when all attempts are halted.

Do they really think people will just accept it like that? They need their heads checked.

The people of Myanmar have lived in almost complete media silence since the coup took place. As violence continues to spiral, and the Junta's bombing campaign kills largely civilians. Really wish it got the coverage that it deserves.

And I did not intend to send a message to aspiring manga artists around the world telling them to pursue diversity. Over the past ten years, I have spoken with many aspiring manga artists outside of Japan. To a degree that might even seem surprising within Japan, many of them set their sights on Weekly Shōnen Jump. But is that wrong? Should they instead aim for a variety of Japanese manga magazines and pursue diversity? Are they making a mistake? Of course not! In my view, aspiring manga artists around the world are not at fault. Of course, people may make personal mistakes, and they will bear responsibility for those themselves. But as a broader, statistical phenomenon, aspiring artists, mangaka, and creators in general are not to blame. Human beings are, by nature, incredibly diverse. That is simply how we are. The free thinker naturally possesses diversity. However, “commercial manga” created freely by individuals does not automatically become diverse. Diversity does not emerge simply by gathering many individuals together—it must be intentionally cultivated and protected. We have already seen cases in Japan, Korea, and other countries where companies said, “We have a great platform! Gather many creators, let them do whatever they want, and simply share the revenue share,” and yet diversity ultimately collapsed. We have seen it happen. Why is it that, even when many creators were gathered and given freedom—and all started out diverse—the result was a rapid loss of diversity? Why? Creation demands great sacrifice, and artistic creation in particular is not something one can achieve after watching a few tutorial videos for a couple of weeks or months. It requires dedicating one’s life—continuously moving forward and refining one’s craft. If a creator cannot earn a living from their work, the consequences are severe. In many cases, not only their own life but also the lives of their loved ones(like the whole family) can fall into hardship. The poverty and disregard one must endure during the learning process can be overwhelming. This is especially true in countries where the per capita income is below $30,000. I myself lived as an aspiring manga artist in South Korea when its per capita income was below $10,000. So I understand that suffering. Now imagine that, after enduring all of this, you finally have a chance to earn money through manga. At that moment, can you truly choose to create something entirely your own, saying, “If I make money, I make some money—if not, I’ll starve”? Do we really need to demand that level of courage from individuals? Most people cannot. Naturally, they study the success of other creators and hope to earn at least something themselves. This is diligence. This is effort. This is doing one’s best. In many ways, it is also a very human way to live. It only becomes a problem statistically—when it negatively affects a nation’s IP industry and the growth of the business as a whole. Diversity is not something that individuals can be expected to pursue on their own. It must be a goal intentionally set and supported by nations or by business entities. 1/4

@horikoshiko ありがとうございます for sharing your art! Mister Horikoshi! You've seem to have been working hard on your art during your break! Studying something new?

遅くなりましたがあけましておめでとうございます！アニメ10周年おめでとうございます！すごい！これは暇つぶしにかいてた血のドレスとがちゃん

I often think about that man, he was the one who inspired the leap after all, even though it was a while ago the want is still there, even if there is nothing to show, physically there's a lot but still feels too little, the first page isn't even done the history is complicated.

As if it didn't exist at all, this is what I was talking about, erasure, but as long as people remember it, it will always come back to haunt those who wish it's destruction.

I wonder if it was those people..

当たり前と言ったのは、個人的意見です。連載中の作家様方に自分の発言でストレスを与えてしまっていたら大変申し訳ありません。同調圧力はあってはならないと考えます。無関係な各作家が意見を求められる謂れもないと思います。

"Mom, adopt a child. You and Dad are still young enough. You’ll raise them..." Ukrainian Defender Vladyslav Kaspruk, call sign "Casper," was his parents’ only child. He was six days short of his 24th birthday. On June 16, 2025, in Sumy region, his vehicle ran over an explosive device. Five Defenders were inside. Two were killed - among them Vlad. Three of his brothers-in-arms were wounded. Even before the full-scale war, Vlad had signed a contract with the border guards. When the assault unit was formed - for the most dangerous sections of the front - he volunteered without hesitation. He evacuated the wounded and the fallen from under fire in Donetsk, Kharkiv, and Sumy regions. After the funeral, his parents remembered his words: "Adopt a child..." In the autumn, they completed training to become foster parents. In January, they were offered two children - a little brother and sister. The girl is five. The boy is six. The children are already home. They’ve started kindergarten. "Is that Vlad? Where is he?" they ask, looking at his photo. "That’s your big brother. He isn’t with us, but he sees everything," their mother replies. After Vladyslav’s death, his brothers-in-arms told the family they still had his cat. His parents traveled to Sumy region to bring the animal home. Now Khytryi (Sly) lives with them. There is also a dog from Kharkiv region - missing one paw. Vlad had cared for her too.

Playing smoke and mirrors, pretending to be kind, the government liable to find out what happens when you trick people, I'd say guaranteed even.

It feels a little more dystopian everyday.

To put it simply, this whole attempt to control the uncontrollable is foolish, and will lead to needless conflict.

Another will not change by force, no matter how the rope is tugged, attempting to cage them will inspire a fight, they will ask how free they are truly to speak their mind. Even if another thinks the other wrong, they are allowed to be.

@ChibiReviews Keep in mind even Mister Horikoshi was unsuccessful twice before he made a hit, and it turned out to be something he loved! In Kawaguchi's case, I don't know if these manga were wished for, but there was a lot of effort made, I worry Kawaguchi will lose hope.🥺

It super shitty how this is now the Author's second attempt and it got canceled. Doubt Shonen Jump will allow him to write another one. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they have a 3 strike system for their magazine. If you get multiple axed manga, you can't work for them
