heart eye hands
Hearts, you say? You Humans are always so quick to speak of such things. As though you carry your hearts in the very palms of your hands. But this eye of mine perceives all. There is nothing that it overlooks. If this eye cannot see a thing, then it does not exist. That is the assumption under which I have always fought. What is this "heart"? If I tear open that chest of yours, will I see it there? If I smash open that skull of yours, will I see it there?
girl eyebrows brave
I sensed only an instant of apprehension. She never raised an eyebrow at the question.. Such a brave girl.
eye heart two
We have Not one In common No two Are shaped alike The third Because of that eye we lack In the fourth Direction there is hope The fifth Is at the heart -Orihime Inoue
hard love particular scene time
If I want to draw more in a particular scene that I think is important, because of time I cannot. That's hard for me. But I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.

The hardest thing about being a manga-ka is that it's a weekly thing.
love
I've always wanted to be a manga-ka, so I'm doing what I love.
All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
drawings single
I have three assistants, but there isn't a head assistant. All the important drawings I do myself. Every single character is also done by me.
draw scene time
When I draw the scene that I'd been dreaming about or had always wanted to draw, that is the time that I'm happiest.
death life
For me, life and death are very important themes. There is no life without death. That's why it's very important to me.
believe enjoyable message people talented
The message is that if you believe in what you create, it's enjoyable and people will follow. The talented mangaka should know that; otherwise, no one would read or enjoy it. So believe in yourself. Believing in yourself is important.
looks sulking enough
So stop sulking. You're not old enough for the cool, tortured look.
