I lay down and thought deeply, and eventually made a decision. For the future of global manga—and for the future of Korean and Japanese manga—I decided to share my ideas and thoughts I have developed over the years, without asking for anything in return. Someone has to love those who draw manga. When I think about it myself, I believe I am a mangaka who has had an unusually wide range of experiences in this industry. And I have spent a long time thinking about the future of manga around the world. So I decided not to keep my ideas to myself, but to share them openly. After that, I met many people to pass these ideas along. I met people from Saudi Arabia, the United States, South Korea, and JICA. And wow, I reached out to many countries. I even met people I cannot speak about yet. Of course, not everyone listened to me, accepted what I said, or responded positively. But that didn’t matter. I had decided to keep trying for a while. I met many people and wrote a great number of emails. I worked together with my friend Steve. Because of these efforts, my main work—drawing manga, which requires intense focus—was significantly delayed. I can’t continue like this much longer, but I wanted to bring these efforts to some kind of conclusion. Not long ago, I met an extraordinary individual, and we spoke for 12 hours. I believe this person is also someone making tremendous efforts for the manga industry. To maintain my concentration during the discussion, I deliberately ate nothing and fasted the entire day. Up until 30 minutes before the meeting, I was suffering from diarrhea. (No kidding!) That was because I had already been in discussions the day before, and before that, I had spent two days preparing with Steve. Until then, I had also been continuously working on my manga. Will these efforts of mine have meaning? Maybe Yes, maybe No. But that is exactly why we call it a “dream.” Dreamers and their dreams are certainly beautiful, but most of them fail. That is what we call a dream. And that is why so precious and we love them wholeheartedly. Even if it has no meaning, we still strive. Even if it never comes true, we keep moving forward. That is what LOVE is. And what I love most is drawing my manga. The most precious people to me are my readers. The ones I am most grateful to are my fans. And those I rely on the most are the publishers who give me work. And now I start on my deadlines. From last Christmas until the end of this month, when the cherry blossoms begin to bloom here in Japan, I believe I have spent about three months striving intensely for the future of global manga. Now, it is time for me to return my full focus to creating manga. As for the Morocco project, this is as far as I can go for now. It is time for me to return to the work that humans have done for 50,000 years—or even earlier: to draw, like those who once painted on the empty walls of caves. Creation is not something every human does. But it is one of the most human things we can do. 2/5

Happy birthday Yusuke Kobayashi! 🎉 Let's wish Yukke all the best @yusuke032510 #YusukeKobayashi #小林裕介生誕祭2026

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
