interview
>Q. Since when did you decided to become a mangaka?
>A. The first time I dreamed it was when I was in elementary school, but I gave up because it's hard to be successful. When I became a highschool student, one of my friends showed a manga drawn by himself. I think it was good so I draw mine. That's when I started to decided to become a mangaka.
>Q. Since when did you draw manga by computer?
>A. Since when I first draw manga. It was 2009. So I feel nervous when I draw arts by pen.
>Q. How many time do you take when you draw a chapter?
>A. 2 days for meeting with editor, and five days for drawing. I draw it from I woke up, until I sleep. I feel like I'm doing something wrong when I don't drawing, like when I am bathing.
>Q. Hiw can you draw such kawaii girls?
>A. 10 years ago, my friends said I'm really bad at drawing kawaii girls. So I tried hard to become better. I saw human picture and think why it is kawaii, and various definitions of 'kawaii' in various eras.
>Q. Which character is hardest to draw?
>A. The problem is usually comes from long hair or items. So it's Nino... and Miku. Miku's headphone is the problem. I sometimes regret giving her headphone. I concentrate and change my schedule when I draw Miku chapter. Ichika? I'm always thankful to her.
>Q. How do you practice drawing?
>A. I can't do that right now, but editor-san suggested me to draw other series I like. The most important thing is always thinking about how to draw well.
>Q. What's the main point of manga 5toubun no hanayome in 2019?
>A. We already passed the turning point. I decided how many volumes are left when I draw vol.7 Ichika cover. I depicted quints' feeling to Fuutarou until now, but since they will marry in the end, so I should their mutual feeling from now on. Focusing on Fuutarou's feeling, I'll draw an ending which is as many readers as possible can accept. I think it's impossible to drag interestingly. I don't know it will end in this year or not, but I'll properly deliever what is inside me until it ends.
