he's FAT!
>>289715808I've always loved Hiromu Arakawa since she's real life farmer.>>289715799I think Norio portrays herself as an elementary schooler and Toriyama's robot design is good.
:(
>>289715799he's a BUMPKIN!
>>289715960Woah, a cat drew a manga?
>>289715799Now that I'm into building models, I've never felt so at one with toriyama's vision of heaven
>>289715799>smoker>sugar water>saltHe did himself in.
>>289715799Doesn't "senbei" mean "cracker"?
>>289715986Who?
>>289716764Yes, but the translator probably assumed the average American reader wouldn't know that. It was pretty common in older translation to see things like "onigiri rice ball".
>>289716764It's a type of cracker yeah, it's like saying udon noodles or soYou often do that in translation because it's an easy way of letting people know what a thing is while still sounding good
>>289715799
>>289716686best author insert
>>289717123I love this guy and his stuff
>>289717992This is not a self portrait made by him btw
Toriyama actually drew a lot of self-portraits, I remember one with him having a shirt that said “GOOFY” on it, but I can’t find it on the archives.
>>289715799He’s just like me.
>>289717992I though it was Jackie chan
>>289719462Itagaki looks a bit like him.
>>289715986ganbare ;[
they're fucking WEIRRRD!
>>289715799>obsessed with pretty boys>draw himself like this
>>289721849He's just like meBorn to be pretty boy, forced to ogremaxx
>>289717992Aw shit my bad. Here is his actual self insert.
>>289722859>You missed the chance to marry Itagakis beautiful chicken daughterWhy keep going.....
>>289723091Missed the chance? More like dodged the bullet
>>289715799I've noticed mangaka are all humble and self-deprecating to varying degrees. Or is that just Japanese culture in general?
>>289723158It's because all mangaka are nerds who got beat up at school
>>289723132How so
>>289723263Not Oda
>>289723292Noda?
>>289724101NODA FINGAH!
How many mangaka actually have merch of their self portraits?Hell I think Raiku might be in one of video games
>>289717123I like the other hermit crab
>>289723158Bragging demands challenge, consession begs praise. Making compromises is sociable and cooperative. A shout match or no response is not a conversation, throw the ball in any other direction, timing and speed is not passing. The strong shoulders the responsibility. Make haste to prepare materials for the young and old, while having the patience to slowing down to get through to them, as life outside of the tribe is virtually not possible. Efficient hunting and resource gathering requires blending in with the world. Being noticed by the prey is loss, being noticed by predator is death. This is the pre-history hardwired in our brain. The history rewrote it to trigger anxiety.
>>289724631cute
Megumi Mizusawa, mangaka of Hime-chan no Ribbon among other things. She actually drew a mask on her avatar in the manga she was doing during covid.
>>289725591Forgot image like a retard.
>>289715799Not exactly a mangaka, but a former anime director and current animator, so I guess he still kinda counts
>>289725734>current animatorHE'S ALIVE?!
>>289716686Whats the gorilla up to these days?
>>289726130He got a new manga going on WSJ this year called 2-nen B-gumi Yusha Destroyers
>>289718269I used to have it too but I lost it.
>>289718133Five years and many unrelated porn doujin later
>>289723278She's only interested in fucking santa anyway.
>>289725433Whomst?
>>289726150Damn I figured he would have retired or something. Cool.
>>289726096Yes
>>289717130A vicious and dangerous creature. Watch out for her wild and out of control cock.
>>289726096I don't think he'd die even if you killed him.
>>289726219>>289726283I DON'T BELIEVE YOU
Are schizoid comic artists welcome here?
>>289725620Based
>>289724346Half the reason I reread Zatch Bell occasionally is to read the omakes starring him, I love the bit where he gets into motorcycling.
>>289726611no tkmz is not welcome here
>>289715799A Man Who Loved London Dearly
>>289726172I remember there was a good shitpost copypasta about Itagaki walking into his daughter's room to find Santa and Paru fucking and then it's revealed he's her husband and he missed the wedding because he was making sumo dou.
>>289717130>>289726269
Autograph version
>>289726684>tkmzWhat is that?
>>289726717By a disciple
Hokuto no Ken mangaka. No flair.
>>289726876Hara looks cooler IRL.
>>289726194>he doesn't know
>>289726833>he barely draws anymore and his twitter now currently consists of retweeting AI slop 24/7And they even wanted us to believe that he had put Bastard on hiatus because "he is a perfectionist manga artist who was seeking to further improve his drawing skills while remaking the entire manga from scratch". Lazy son of a bitch.
>>289718272Is he schizophrenic?
The guy behind Ousama Ranking. A great artist and writer, easily my greatest inspiration.
>>289726723A modern dostoyevski
>>289728348>be editor>walk by the artist>he's babbling in foreign with half of the words undoubtedly being profanities
>>289729009Not his favorite character by the way.
Nagayoshi Takeru, creator of Sumire 17 Sai and Sumire 16 Sai
Abe Youichi, creator of Vanilla Spider and That's Just Senpai's Dick
>>289727373He is, He just choose to draw himself in a non-flattering way.
Tetsunabe no Jan Mangaka.I still can't believe my favorite cooking manga from 20+ years ago actually get anime adaptation after all these years.
>>289728384Pretty sure he is basically a cripple now.
>>289729766Apparently there's another version of this
>>289723091>You will never be peed on by one of Itagaki's bloodlineIt's ogre...
>>289715799I miss him
>>289718269I like the bird one
The fact the he in particular is married with kids is fucking wild to me
>>289724608
>>289726693>>289726717There she is. The godmother of all fujos.
>>289723158>mangaka are all humble and self-deprecating
>>289716753He died because of a head injury, retard
>>289716131Many such cases
>>289731704Also >draws himself bald with an egg head >actually has great hair
>>289729893Oh Uncle Go
>>289729893RIP
>>289731968What happened to his foreskin?
who remembers this hack
>>289723066Yujirobros... this image makes me scared
>>289730564who is this?
KNEEL FOR THE GOAT
>>289732337Kawasaki TadatakaThe Chio's school road author
>>289730564why he look at the moon
>>289732315We can't do shit against THE Writer!
>>289732408He pensive
>>289729970He was sick?>>289726833Will we ever have something like bastard
>>289732519Crippled wrist and fucked eyes iirc, from how hard he was working on Bastard!!.
Will forever respect him for extending his series because he wanted to give people more of the main couple.>>289728384No one said that. Drawing was destroying his health and he stopped because of it.
>>289732612That's funny. Your average animator draws more than Hagiwara does in any given month and they aren't being hospitalized in droves except for special occassions.
When will he get a success?
>>289732650I don't think you really get his work schedule.
>>289732668>helol, lmao
>>289732650>>289732675Or rather, what his work schedule was.
>>289715799The man knew a good time.>>289715960>and Toriyama's robot design is good.Agree, it's a fun design.>>289716753No idea if he kept up the smoking or not, but if you look at his last photos from 2024, he really doesn't look particularly unhealthy, not fat at all, if he hadn't fallen and smashed his head (which is what actually killed him), he'd likely have been good for roughly one dozen more years at least.Also, your body needs salt, you fucking mongoloid, you will die without it.
>>289732714He was clearly murdered.
>>289732740That would be the first suggestion I've heard of that, and sure, I guess it's potentially possible that someone secretly cranked him in the back of the head with a brick or something, but it sure wasn't his dietary habits or potential tobacco use which did him in.
>>289732749/a/'s favorite writer-artist duo
>>289732776didn't mean to quote
>>289718269He had such a fun knack for drawing cutesy mechanical stuff.
>>289732776My favorite Sandro.
>>289732808Now that's a jobber face if I've ever seen one
>>289726693>>289726717>>289726755Very cute.
>>289732855simp
>>289732863You don't like unassuming nerd girls? Anyway, wasn't she also married?
>>289724608Thank you Lao Tzu
>>289727373He really does. That portrait looks kinda like the D.B Cooper suspect sketch.
>>289732879Never, afaik
Not really a portrait but I liked Nisio's clock avatar during the Cipher Academy run, felt very appropriate for how autistic the manga was
>>289731138ps5...
In before "Berserk wasn't the same without him"...etc etc etc.
>>289729835>>289732945He actually does look pretty cool. o_O
>>289716131Ofcourse they do!Which MC falling on boobs this time by the way?
>>289723158>humble and self-deprecating
>>289716764No, it's a specific type of cracker. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SenbeiIt's fairly common for translators to add an explanatory word like that when talking about brand names or variants that aren't well known in the country you're translating for.
