Hunter x Hunter Greed Adventure Staff Interview

-I've heard that you two got involved in this project of "GI2" from the beginning. How did the project start for you guys? Kojina: Well, first Bandai Namco Entertainment counseled me with regards to how to create the new world, using the setting of Greed Island. I took part in the core part such as to showcase the world in a different and unique way whilst incorporating the elements of the original story.

Yoshihiro Togashi at a Concert

On August 23, 2018 in Japan, there was a Keyakizaka46 concert going on. There were so many people there including  Yoshihiro Togashi ! These two with Togashi are Bugbear . They are ones that have composed a lot of music for Keyakizaka46 and were obviously attending the event as well. Togashi had a comment about them from Shonen Jump issue 39 in 2017: Togashi has been known to be a big fan of the Japanese idol group which could be seen through his author comments from Shonen Jump. Plus for always sending flowers in commemoration to the idol group. He even sent some more flowers to Keyakizaka46 at this concert. This is the idol band that Togashi references in his manga quite frequently and if you're curious to see what parts were referenced I suggest checking out this thread: https://twitter.com/HxHSource/status/973075534644109312 Personally, I'm glad Togashi is enjoying himself and life as much as he can right now considering he's been drawing m...
