Hello! I am absolutely amazed by your story… it is so inspirational. It uplifted me when I started to lose all hope in becoming a manga artist… if I may ask, where did you start in the very beginning? When did you decide that you wanted to be a manga artist? And, one other thing… I never read the Prince of Tennis but I always saw the ads in the backs of other Jump books I have read, and… well… are you the one that used some kind of black magic sorcery to create the most amazingly well-drawn tennis rackets I have ever seen in my whole life? Do you know who did??!!
