| Was it tough to make that visually exciting? |
One of the things I admire most about Obata is how he can make dynamic scenes out of seemingly dull and lifeless scenarios. He creates pages where characters don't move a muscle and yet you still feel like they've bounced to Jupiter and back. To me, where this talent shines the most is when he manages to prop up the MANY drooping scenes in Baukuman. The majority of the story is ridiculously predictable and yet his artwork somehow convinced me that something unexpected and exciting just might happen if I continued to read.

Thanks for the interviews despite it being short, but it'll do for me, ANN.

Yeah - the average length of time we're given at convention interviews is 20-30 minutes (and even those feel short), this one was 15. We'll always take these opportunities but we're trying to arrange longer interviews with talent via email.

I LOL'd upon learning his editor is named Yoshida. I know it's a common name, but wasn't that the name of Hiramaru's editor in Bakuman?

Bakuman's Koji Yoshida is actually based on this guy, and most of the editors who show up in that series have real-life namesakes. The real Yoshida looks pretty similar to his manga counterpart, as you can see here.

I know I've been posting this everywhere but-
He is my life-long manga idol. Meeting him was one of the highlights of my life! Thanks for this interview!

Thanks for that! He's certainly got the hair. Now I wonder if he's as devious in RL...
