let’s just go on here without revealing the title of the work. Are you sure it was okay to reveal that?Ī: Well. There’s actually one more work that I made before I started using the “Aka Akasaka” pen name. T: (For the first in-game manga we draw), I’m thinking of starting with Sayonara Piano Sonata, since that’s your first work.Ī: Sure, sounds good. That you’re using some sort of voice pitch modification program to pose as a guy. T: There are people who would believe that.
T: What!? Why’d you bother to come up with that, then?Ī: Yeah.
T: (In the character design screen for the game) What’s your birthday? Of course, the manga has been selling well, but the anime did well too, didn’t it?Ī: Yeah, it was always in the Netflix top rankings. T: Ah, so that’s what happened for S2 and S3. T: True, schedule-wise we’re past the point of split cours.Ī: So some time after S2 ended, a bunch of fancy managers got together and had a meeting, looking at figures and sales volumes, before deciding to give the green light. You know how some anime get aired as “split cours”? That didn’t happen here. T: This isn’t something that you suggested, right? Like, they just said, “let’s do S3”?Ī: Yup. T: First off, congratulations on Kaguya-sama S3! T: Oh, so that’s how the marketers push the message that “ Young Jump is great!” Support Young Jump, guys! Kaguya S3 The money is really, really nice.Ī: So, yeah, it’s a contract that means you can’t get published elsewhere, but you get some of the marketing budget in return. T: Wow! Could you tell everyone what an “exclusive contract” is?Ī: It’s an agreement between you and the publisher that you’re not supposed to write for anyone else - in return, you get a contract fee.Ī: Yeah. Tamaki (T): Aka-sensei, you’re in an “exclusive contract” with Shueisha?Īka (A): Yeah, so a lot of people have probably heard of Weekly Shonen Jump from the likes of Bakuman, but I’m also in Young Jump. Tamaki Inuyama: an independent VTuber, avatar of Norio Tsukudani, the mangaka of Himegoto.Īka Akasaka: mangaka behind Kaguya-sama: Love is War and the writer for Oshi no Ko in joint with Mengo Yokoyari, the artist.
