Author's Note

Author's Note

“ In my childhood, I heard the following kinds of rumors about being a cartoonist. Cartoonists secretly keep a real handgun in their basements. They can just ask anyone to get naked when they're drawing models of men or women. There's a person who just gives out ideas and can give them from anywhere in the world. Every fourth day of the week, they're night shift is spent golfing and playing on a yacht. How much truth is there in all this? I can't tell you. ” —Hirohiko Araki
