The problem, though, is if my readers are people are like me, and I don\u2019t really like people who are similar to me, then that means that I dislike my readers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Furuya:<\/strong> They do say that people tend to dislike people similar to themselves.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Asano:<\/strong> That\u2019s what it is\u2014it\u2019s hard to like someone when you can see through them like that. I understand the reason people read my manga, what they like about it and what they\u2019re going to eventually dislike about it, so I just can\u2019t fully accept my readers. Hence my urge to mess with them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The whole interview is fantastic&#8211;it&#8217;s very honest, and goes into great detail\u00a0on the creative side of things too.<\/p>\n<p>As for the rest of the site,\u00a0I&#8217;m absolutely loving the two Taiyo Matsumoto interviews that are there, two more interviews with Asano, Daisuke Igarashi, Hiroki Samura, the dude who does Gantz&#8230; haha. It&#8217;s an awesome site that seems to exist solely for me to enjoy, so I hope you&#8217;ll make it more-real by sharing it with me.<\/p>\n<p>http:\/\/mangabrog.wordpress.com\/<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Chris<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/comics212.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/9784778321864-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-8068\" src=\"https:\/\/comics212.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/9784778321864-1.jpg\" alt=\"9784778321864 (1)\" width=\"448\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/comics212.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/9784778321864-1.jpg 448w, https:\/\/comics212.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/08\/9784778321864-1-210x300.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In my absence, a great blog sprung up called\u00a0Mangabrog,\u00a0the proprietor of which has been translating Japanese-language interviews with manga into English for us poor non-Japanese-reading fans.
