Makoto Kimura, one of Mappa's formerly most senior execs and a key producer on Chainsaw Man, has revealed how the anime series has significantly impacted the studio and its future operations and strategies.

Kimura, who left the company earlier this year to found the new production company Blue Rights, explained Chainsaw Man's significance in a lecture to Cool Japan Fund Inc. Most animation studios work as contractors for production committees who allocate a production budget that pays for the studio's services. Kimura says, "In a way, these companies are blessed to continue to receive requests and take on creative challenges, but at the same time, I think its quite difficult to break free from hand-to-mouth operations with such a setup. If pandemics and other unexpected issues arise and airing dates are pushed back, these companies will not be able to produce a finished product within the allotted production budget.

This month's entry is from Hiroyuki Asada, creator of the steampunk fantasy manga Tegami Bachi, or Letter Bee.

Shonen Jump News (or @WSJ_manga), a Dragon Ball-focused news hub on X (formerly Twitter), recently showcased Asada's entry for its followers. This piece, which pays tribute to the cover of Dragon Ball Volume 35, features a version of Spirit Goku drawn in Asada's signature shojo-esque art style. Surrounded by sparkling accents, the spiky-haired Saiyan is shown bidding farewell to his friends before departing for the other world -- a design that was potentially chosen as a heartwarming sendoff to the late Akira Toriyama, who passed away in early March.
