I decided to become a manga artist because of Jump manga
I wasn't really interested in it myself, but I remember my friend told me that a new weekly manga magazine came out and then he bought it. So, I do remember reading the first issue of Jump. In fact, I have some great memories of a Jump manga called "The Qualifications of a Man". Reading this work is what made me decide to become a manga artist! Without Jump, I probably wouldn't have become a manga artist... Also, I once sent in a review for the Jump Readers' Award and won a bicycle for it! Seems like I have a deep connection with Jump, huh?
Jump is where I was born.
List of Works Discussed by Hirohiko Araki-Sensei Himself
As a boy, I loved the outdoors and thought that a man should head to the wilderness... or something like that.
A work that I made before moving to Tokyo. Since I liked Holmes, the protagonist is a boy who resembled him.
I started this just as I moved to Tokyo. I get nostalgic and teary when I hear about events from that time or listen to the American Top 40.
Reading this kind of makes me think about how much I really love traveling...
