Interview

“

Tezuka: This is incredibly interesting. Though it feels a bit old-fashioned.

Tezuka: Not many people here are from the Tohoku region.

Araki: Shotaro Ishinomori and so on....

Tezuka: I mean, that's about it though, right?

Tezuka: So, as his successor...

Araki: I'll keep at it.

Tezuka: Show me another work, ok?
