For a long time, I’ve loved the kind of characters who are boastful yet petty. I was originally a gag manga artist, after all.

Akira Toriyama

Manga uses Japanese traditional structures in how to teach the student and to transmit a very direct message. You learn from the teacher by watching from behind his back. The whole teacher-master thing is part of Asian culture, I think.

Takashi Murakami

I’m a huge anime and manga fan.

Ryan Potter

There are loads of novels that I really love, like Haruki Murakami’s books, and when I read them, I do think about how they would work as an anime. But I do believe that those are great books because they work best as novels, or great manga work best in that form.

Makoto Shinkai

I work at a high school, and we have an anime and manga club.

Gene Luen Yang

I do enjoy manga but would not consider myself a ‘super-fan,’ only really connecting with certain works such as ‘Lone Wolf and Cub,’ or ‘Tekkon Kinkreet,’ the more breakthrough works, and ‘Akira,’ to me, is the daddy of them all.

Gerard Way

I’m really interested in independent publishers and memes and mini comics. But even before that, I was interested in Japanese manga and anime.

Toyin Odutola

With manga, in my art style, I don’t do much in the way of techniques to create depth. But even though I don’t do depth techniques through my art, I am conscious of depth itself.

Akira Toriyama

I admire the abstract expressionists and pop artists so right now I’m referencing American ’60s art and at the same time referencing Japanese manga culture.

Christian Marclay

In Japan there is a lot of manga, but around manga there are video games, manga on cellphones, manga in card games… so people not only enjoy manga but also the products around it.

Tite Kubo

Manga, as a medium, is very different from cinema. Its creators are free to express themselves with harsh, cruel stories, and they enjoy vast distribution throughout Japan.

Takashi Miike

In manga, nothing actually moves, and you just have to draw the poses in each panel, but in anime, you have to draw the movements between those poses.

Akira Toriyama

I’m just a manga artist, so I can’t stand being scrutinized.

Akira Toriyama

There was a manga boom, so I read ‘Astro Boy,’ ‘Osomatsu-kun,’ and such. But what influenced me the most were things like ‘Popeye’ and Disney animation.

Akira Toriyama

I’m perfectly fine with the fact that lots of young folks are wanting to watch anime and read manga. I’m perfectly happy that they are doing things online, reading there as opposed to traditional print magazines.

John Scalzi

Simply put, I’m glad that manga as an expressive form is expanding.

Natsuki Takaya

So many of us, we love these things that come from Japan. We play the video games every day, we read the manga, people watch the cartoons, they absolutely love it.

Yaya Han

My house is like a manga library in many ways, and it’s great because I get to call it research.

Masi Oka

People start panicking because they think it’s the end of everything. But the fact is, you know, books survived movies; books survived TV. Books are surviving manga and anime. Books will always be there in one form or another. You just have a larger palette of entertainment options.

John Scalzi

‘Female Convict 701: Scorpion’ is based on a manga as is ‘Lady Snowblood.’ I saw ‘Lady Snowblood’ in the theater between writing issue three and issue four of the first arc of ‘Pretty Deadly,’ and I was really surprised how much I was influenced by it.

Kelly Sue DeConnick

So many Hollywood adaptations of really popular manga series just don’t get it right, and for me what was really important was that if I was gonna do ‘Naruto,’ I wanted to actually work with Kishimoto and get a script to a stage where he would look at it and be excited about realizing it.

Michael Gracey

As a child, because manga was always around and I was reading it, I naturally thought, ‘Hey, I’d like to draw manga – I’d like to be a manga author!’

Natsuki Takaya

I’ve been a fan of Yoshida Akimi’s manga for a long time; she‘s one of a few women‘s manga writers that I always read.

Hirokazu Kore-eda

Before and after my debut, I’ve helped out other manga artists from time to time, but I have no experience of being exclusively an assistant. Nor have I done individual or self-published manga.

Natsuki Takaya

I love print fiction, but sometimes when I’m reading a good graphic novel or manga, I find myself envying those who work in an illustrated format.

Jane Lindskold

This kind of stuff, it wasn’t the cool thing when I was growing up. Now, pop culture is comic books, super-hero movies, anime, manga, and I’ve been doing it for a long time.

Mike Daniels

The nice thing about gag manga is how it has this aspect where, at the very least, you’re permitted to come out with anything. In my case, anything can talk. Like the mountains.

Akira Toriyama

I’m a comic reader and a manga fan.

John Boyega

I think that nationality has no relation to that which gives rise to manga. Even among the Japanese, manga creators are making their creations everyday reflecting their own individuality, with none being the same. What is important isn’t the differences between the creators but their love for manga.

Natsuki Takaya

I’ve always loved science fiction, fantasy, manga, comic books; so I guess, to some degree, those things influence my personal idea of what looks nice, which definitely isn’t everyone else‘s.

Jane Goldman
