It's not often that a manga creator reveals his/her face but Made in Abyss creator Akihito Tsukushi is taking things one step further, inviting fans into his apartment, which also serves as his work studio. Taukushi invited Japanese manga YouTuber Otoreko inside his home for a rare glimpse of how a successful mangaka lives and works.
During the interview, Akihito cites Jiro Taniguchi's manga adaptation of The Summit of the Gods, Hayao Miyazaki's The Journey of Shuna and Masakazu Ishiguro's And Yet the Town Moves as big influences on his career. Tsukushi reveals that he actually started out as a video game illustrator before launching his manga career in 2012.
The Made in Abyss sequel anime film, Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep will hit US theaters in April after previously being released in Japan back in January.
