All good things have to come to an end. My last day in Japan comes with the the last haul which is appropriately enough Mr. Shonen Sunday’s newest movie (just came out today!) and this week’s issue of WSS which came with a cute Christmas Haibara.

Oh Japan how I already miss you…

Takashi Shiina (Ghost Sweeper Mikami, Zettai Karen Children, Yashahime Manga) is starting a new series in Sunday Super issue #2 (out December 25th)

Entitled “Kurogane no Mabito” the blurb says a boy and girl clad with the powers of evil use them against other evil creatures!

Same for who created Great Metal God which we translated!! Big thanks to them and @mangamavericks.bsky.social for entrusting us with translating their work!
November 24, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Perhaps the biggest honor is getting an autograph from an author whose work you translated! StriAlgo was responsible for bringing Alternative by Chiaki Yagara in English, so to know they like our work is amazing! 🤩

Then by surprise I ran into manga Taisho winning “Draw this and Die” author Minoru Toyoda! We talked about Shogakukan a bit and he gave me an autograph after I bought his doujin! (seven seas is putting this one out, and an anime has been green lit!)
November 24, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Then from Doku Doku Mori Mori author Noboru Segawa who we interviewed earlier this year! (yen press announced an English version during NYCC!)
November 24, 2025 at 3:16 PM
Comitia autograph thread? Let’s do it. First one is from Majo to Kyurasu author Kohei Shibata! I also bought their sketchbook! Their manga was featured on our Blue Sky!
November 24, 2025 at 3:16 PM
I just love the title for this one, tbh
November 24, 2025 at 1:49 PM
This manga by Maru Mizuta and Gen Tamura was on sale along with some merch. It’ll be serialized in Aokishi so not Shogakukan but both authors have done Shogakukan works!
November 24, 2025 at 1:49 PM
I also got to meet Satoshi Kisaichi (Black channel) sensei and buy some of his doujin along with giving him my card! 🤩 ありがとうございますきさいち先生!

At the Shonen Sunday table was this short strip by Gosho Aoyama for new mangaka to read about the basics of making manga.
November 24, 2025 at 1:49 PM
I also got to see Shogakukan editorial consult with up and coming mangaka here as well. It’s kind of exciting to think how many of these artiefts will eventually find their way into the magazine (and thus be covered here) as well as the works each magazine thinks as representative of their label.

I bought so much 😭 I will never financially recover from this. #COMITIA154

And now a twist! This illustration is by Keiko Fukuyama who illustrates for Pokemon products, including but not limited to the TCG.

And of course Shinta Harekawa (Akira Fails in Love) who says a lot of their origins came from Ranma specially, learning what a tsundere is, lol.

Akane is ready courtesy of Ai Minase (Hachimizu hatsukoi.)

Shizuki Fujisawa (Yuzuki-san Chi no Yon Kyoudai) applies some Shampoo.

Arina Tanimura (Kamikaze kaitou jeanne) drew everyone pretty much.

A typical Ranma x Akane scene as depicted by Airi Sano (Hatsukoi Dance)

Kyoko Kumagai (Ayakashi Hisen) has a clear favorite scene..
