Boichi, the creator of Dr. STONE, says that people who read pirated manga are not the industry’s enemies.
“Readers of pirated manga are not our adversaries. They are our future audience. They are proof that the demand already exists.”
He explains that many fans worldwide still have no legal way to read manga because some countries lack publishers, translation services, and distribution networks.
In those places, telling people to “just buy manga” does not solve the problem when legal options do not exist.
Boichi believes the industry should see them as proof of demand.
A dad says Valve has “a customer for life” after the company sent him a free replacement Steam Deck case.
He reached out to Steam Support after his baby threw up on the original case and asked if he could buy a new one.
Instead, Valve told him they had already ordered a replacement and would send it free of charge.
“Valve has a customer for life. I reached out asking if I could buy a replacement case after my newborn got sick all over mine, and they just sent one for free.”
“I know it’s a small thing, but this kind of customer service means a lot.”
A heartbreaking loss for racing fans and the Uma Musume community 🕊️
My Universe, a 4-year-old colt and G2 Nikkei Sho winner, has sadly passed away today after being pulled up during the Takarazuka Kinen due to acute heart failure.
Ridden by Norihiro Yokoyama, My Universe was sired by Rey de Oro and out of Church Choir, a daughter of Neo Universe. This made him the real-world grandson of Neo Universe, the legendary racehorse represented in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby.
Because of that connection, his passing has deeply affected both Japanese racing fans and the Uma Musume community, who often follow the real bloodlines behind the franchise’s beloved characters.
His career was still rising, and his time on the track was far too short.
Rest in peace, My Universe 🕯️
