Sketch VS Raw Composition!

Remontada Spirit 🐍 This graphic was made for FCB vs Atlético Madrid at the Metropolitano, with one main idea in mind: the remontada spirit. That Champions League energy, the belief, the intensity, and the feeling that anything is possible. Hope you like it. 🔵🔴✨ #FCB #UCL

At last, after three months of intense thought, effort, and reflection—since last Christmas—I have shared my ideas about the future of global manga, and now this chapter has come to an end.
This is something I have dreamed about for the past 30 years, and something I have been working toward for over a decade.
But these past three months… I truly gave it everything I had.
Yesterday, I felt overwhelmed with many emotions.
Steve, our Japanese manager, and I went together to Shōnan(湘南).
Our minds were so full that the only thing we could do was go and look at the ocean—all three of us.
When your thoughts are heavy, sometimes you just need to see the wide, blue sea.
For reference, Steve came to Japan for the future of global manga.
He has invested his time and effort, and I have spent over ten thousand dollars to support his stay in Japan.
So far, we have not yet found the answers or rewards we hoped for.
But we have continued because we love comics—and because we care about aspiring creators around the world.
For a long time, Steve and I have been thinking about many ideas for the future of manga.
For manga to truly grow, an education system is necessary.
Japan may not need it as much, but globally, manga education is essential.
This is also an important truth that I came to realize through my research.
That is why I began designing a manga education system.
It was not only for teaching students, but also for supporting manga educators around the world.
(This is why I said that I support and care about manga educators.)
There were even people willing to invest in these ideas.
Some offered between 10 million and 20 million dollars.
However, their condition was that I must take charge of the school, so I declined.
I have chosen a path of giving, not taking.
I do not seek any position, power, or share of the profits.
I was even offered shares worth more than what I have earned from my most successful works, but I refused.
What I have created is something I wish to give as a gift.
That was the decision I made last Christmas.
Of course, in this world, if you work, you deserve to be paid.
If you create intellectual property, royalties are necessary.
If you enter a contract, an advance is expected.
That is how the world works.
Beyond that, I do not need anything more.
I also had plans to go to the United States and stay for a month to teach.
Originally, I was invited to give a short lecture, but I suggested something different:
“A short, one-time event(like a longer Q&A session or panel at Comic-Con) would not truly help North American students.
If it is for them, I would rather teach for a full month.”
I also thought about creating a manga textbook for North America based on that experience.
If I were to teach there, I would receive many questions from students.
Those questions would reflect their real concerns and perspectives.
By incorporating them, it could become a truly meaningful guide for North American manga creators.
For that one month of teaching, I said I would accept only $2,000.
In reality, I would likely spend tens of thousands of dollars myself.
I do not believe it should be free.
Work deserves compensation—that is a basic human principle.
But I do not need to make a large profit.
It does not need to be financially rewarding for me.
“Education should be as affordable as possible.”
Someone has to make that choice, so that aspiring creators in North America can access learning at a lower cost.
That was the idea behind my plan.
As you may have guessed, I am sharing this because that plan has now been set aside.
There are several reasons, but over the past three months, I have already spent too much time, energy, and money on thinking about the future of manga.
I want to draw my own manga.
Of course, even during these past three months, I continued working on my own projects.
I completed around 100 pages of manuscript and about 100 pages of nēmu(ネーム: storyboard)
However, producing only 100 pages in three months is, for me, an unacceptably low output.
Now, it's time for me to go to my table and focus on my manga again.
