The eagle eyed fans in our audience might remember us spotlighting this manga before, and now we’ve interviewed the artist!
Big thanks to @mangamavericks and @RioOrita_OA as well as the staff at @HEROS_flat for the opportunity!!
This icon singlehandedly made a whole generation love a series that went into eternal hiatus, it's why we ancient weebs are totally shocked the younger generation (and even older weebs?!) don't know Takanori Nishikawa
Going to be conducting my first panel at Otakon 2026. Panel 3 Friday 6 PM to 7 PM. Come through and watch me talk about translating same-day-as-in-Japan manga on a weekly basis from an insane guy (me) who's been doing it for 6 years straight. See you there, amigos.
@TRMugen Our lives are different but I feel like I understand a lot of the anguish and pain you’re holding. I just want you to know that it does get better. There will be more fighting and struggling, life is tough, but you will still have people who love you if you know where to look!
@TRMugen It starts with little victories. You have to give yourself grace by acknowledging and celebrating your accomplishments, one by one, no matter how big or small it may feel. Each becomes a step that builds your path. Grace also means not punishing yourself, you deserve good things!
Fun fact about the creator behind Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia:
She made a doujin called "The Ark Departs from Palestine," set during the Crusades around the Order of Assassins duo who assassinated Conrad, King of Jerusalem.
Proceeds from the doujin were donated to the UNHCR
I spoke to my therapist a little while ago about anime and cons and how I lost interest in going. They put it in a way, saying a lot of older people who attended cons and got into anime viewed it as a subculture, while a lot of people more recently view it as just a hobby.

Daman, Kaiji
the honor was all mine. Sharing that stage with the voices who bring JoJo to life was one of the highlights of my AX.
Thank you for the kind words about the music. Until we meet again!
