https://twitter.com/NEBU_KURO/status/1766144078058823990I feel like I chose this path not because I wanted to be a manga artist, but because I wanted to be like Toriyama-sensei.
I wanted to draw like Toriyama-sensei.
Shortly after the series started, when I met him, he cheerfully told me, a newcomer to PayPay, about the background of Dragon Quest's character design, and I was struck by his kind personality, and I was struck by how strong he was, yet incredibly cheerful and personable. I felt that Goku and Arale, who didn't cause tension, were definitely born from this person.
It happened so suddenly that I was stunned for a day.
Maybe it's sadness or emptiness, but I still can't accept the huge hole that suddenly opened up.
I am grateful for the huge influence you have left on me, and for the time being I will work while trying to organize my mind.
Thank you, Mr. Toriyama.
