“

The Stand user who works as a manga artist, and can read and write people like books... This is volume two of Rohan Kishibe's book of observations. Also, I'm glad these stories have been compiled into one book. When I look at them all together like this... I don't think I was aware of it when drawing them, but I feel like each episode has a different flavor as a result of being published in different magazines. I especially feel the influence of Bessatsu and the app. That's a happy occurrence, too... to Rohan Kishibe, I mean.

職業は漫画家で、人を本にして「読んだり」「書いたり」する事が出来るスタンド使い――岸辺露伴の取材見聞録、『第2巻』。
また、各話がそろって一冊になってくれました。嬉しい。
こうやって、そろったものを眺めると、描いてる時、意識してるつもりは無いのだけれど、掲載誌の違いで、エピソードの味わいが違うように感じます。「別マ」や「アプリ版」で、その場所の影響が出ています。そのあたりも、幸せものだな。岸辺露伴は。
