Europeans arriving for the World Cup:
“The food is actually really good.”
“Wait, they really do free refills?”
“The stadiums are insane.”
“Ok the weather is no joke.”
“Air conditioning isn’t optional here.”
“The roads are complete chaos.”
“Why is this gas station bigger than my airport?”
“Everyone is way friendlier than I expected.”
The 2026 World Cup may go down as the largest American propaganda campaign ever conducted.
And we’re not even trying.
'Dr. STONE' artist Boichi:
"Pirated manga readers are not our opponents. They are our future audience. They are proof that demand already exists."
Boichi says many manga fans around the world still lack access to legal manga because some countries have no publishing infrastructure, translation systems, or distribution networks
"Telling manga fans in those countries, 'You should buy manga,' is meaningless if there is no actual way for them to buy it."
He argues that affordable digital manga services are key to expanding the industry globally and creating opportunities for future creators
