However, when asked, “Is this a retirement declaration?”, “No. Serializing is what I want to do and I am grateful. It’s been 10 years since I’ve already painted. I will be 40 soon, so I want to do what I want to do. Manga artists have no life during the series. I thought it would be nice to do what I wanted to do because I had forty in the future.”
