CATDOLL: The author of "Tide and Tiger" reveals the details of his painting: Correction fluid is my magic prop

Since last year, Japan's NHK Educational Channel has begun broadcasting a program called "Urasawa Naoki's Manga" which focuses on introducing cartoonists. Cartoonist Urasawa Naoki leads the audience into the creative scenes of other cartoonists, allowing all viewers who are interested in comics to get a glimpse of the masters' writing methods and interesting details in the painting process.

Not only ordinary fans, but also industry professionals will not miss the opportunity to watch the show and learn from their peers. Recently, Kazuhiro Fujita, the author of "Tide and Tora" and "Magic Circus", watched the "Hagio Moto" show and was surprised to find that there was no legendary "magic prop" - correction fluid on Hagio's workbench! After posting his thoughts on Twitter, Fujita attracted complaints from other cartoonists...

As early as last year, Mr. Fujita also participated in the recording of the program "Urasawa Naoki's Manmatsu". At that time, Mr. Fujita had already demonstrated the heroic way of using correction fluid and called it a "magic prop."

This is my "magic prop"!

On March 3 this year, the program invited the heavyweight cartoonist in the girls' comics world, Ms. Hagio Moto, whose representative works include "The Legend of the Bo Tribe", "The Heart of Thomas", "The Fate Controlled by the Cruel God", etc. She is a cartoonist who admires Osamu Tezuka and Picasso very much.

It was originally an ordinary program, but after watching the program, Mr. Fujita discovered a blind spot - there seemed to be no "magic prop correction fluid" on Mr. Hagio's workbench! Mr. Fujita then announced this "important discovery" on his Twitter, originally wanting to seek resonance, but many cartoonists started to complain about Mr. Fujita...

Cartoonist Ippondoki Man (representative work "Yokai Hachikenden") said that probably only Mr. Fujita would call correction fluid a "notebook tool", because everyone uses it for effects or corrections, but Mr. Fujita uses correction fluid as an eraser.

Ipponmuman's Twitter response

Masato Hayase (Shotaro Ishinomori's assistant) said that the correction fluid was "too rough and not suitable for drawing."

Kosuke Fujishima, the author of "Arrest Warrant" and "Goddess of Luck", also expressed his own point of view - "Although it is not suitable, it can be transformed into a powerful weapon depending on the user's skills, and it is an advantage that others cannot imitate." He seemed to have some understanding of Mr. Fujita's approach.

After all, as a comics master, it is understandable that his drawing habits are somewhat different from those of ordinary people...
