Ootaka Shinobu - Blog Translation

Good afternoon, it’s Ootaka!

A month has passed since I began my serialization. I’ve received many letters and comments of encouragement. I read all of them. Thank you so much! While receiving your words of encouragement, I am also drawing manga today!

About Magi’s 7th Night…

I really liked drawing those ‘animals’. In the 7th Night, those ants and, er, slimes were enjoyable to draw. In the world of Magi, because I draw real and imaginary animals, I’m exited for just what type of animal I’ll draw next!

However, it can’t be helped that the animals I draw aren’t cute or popular. The expression in their eyes seems wrong. I think its the influence of my drawing hand. I think I want to persevere and aim to be an author who can draw the sparkling eyes of a camel and ant.
