seeing this made me just break down crying. if you’d asked me yesterday what i thought of akira toriyama i would have probably said i respected him immensely, but his work didn’t hold a special place in my heart. but realizing that he’s gone is just devastating. such an iconic, important artist. the world is worse without him

    There are probably very few working cartoonists and animators who take breaks to move their bodies as regularly as they should. That much sitting wrecks the cardiovascular system. In DPRK garment factories, management runs group dances and exercises throughout the working day to mitigate it

      I can only how bad it is for Mangakas, as some of them are known for pulling like 80 hours weeks at minimum. I only hope Araki Sensei is actually a vampire, cause I don’t know what I’ll do if the newest Jojo part 9 goes unfinished.
