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:

Personally, I'm glad Togashi is enjoying himself and life as much as he can right now considering he's been drawing manga for over 30 years with barely any to no breaks (not including Hunter x Hunter's hiatus) but fans, me included, really wonder when he will return and when he does, hopefully he's in great shape to do so.

Spy x Family's Tatsuya Endo & Shihei Lin Interview

It was about 13 years ago that Mr. Endo, who started drawing manga at a young age, met his current editor, Mr. Lin. SPY×FAMILY is the third series they've worked on together, and it's now an extremely popular series that has sold over 8 million copies through six volumes. In this interview, we'll be talking to the two members of this tag team. --- Endo's serialization debut was in "JUMP SQ." How did the two of you first meet? Tatsuya Endo : "I met Mr. Lin at the start of "TISTA" (his serial debut work from 2007). I submitted my first work to Jump magazine when I was in my first year of high school and later did in my second year. So Mr. Lin is the third person I've met since then. He was the first person younger than me, and when I first met him, I thought I was getting a light-hearted person (laughs). "TISTA" was set in New York, so we took a trip to NYC for an interview. Mr. Lin had just started his career, so it was like a tr...
