Q4. The editor of gintama in nw changed. when the both of u are discussing abt the story, did the atmosphere change?

basically, no. but frm quite some time ago, we were juz chatting, but juz tt some of our topics are quite "otaku". nt onli he (editor) is a typical otaku, his feet also stinks

Q5. Do you hav anything to say to the editor?

abt yr feet being smelly, although i dun feel anything, but my assistants all said tt once you step into the office, there will be a smell which stinks. it's realli hard to say it right to yr face, and the whole thing wuld be embarrasing, so i am using dis chance to tel u. i tink yr feet stinks.

Q6. Are you still playing the game " Monster Hunter Portable"? What is the name of yr character?

i dun play anymore. b'cos i got so agitated in the game, i broke the handle tt was used to move the characters, i gave my psp to my assistant. my character is a hunter carrying a huge sword, his movements are very cool. i feel really excited while playing it,i even kill my own companinons. the name of this character is of course "hideaki"

Q7. Why did you use those names?

no matter what game i play, i always typed my own name. but i used to find it troublesome so i juz typed " Ah, Ah, Ah, Ah", in the end when fighting a demon king, it felt like something was missing. so consequently i typed in my own name.

Q8. "Gintama" is serialized for quite some time, are you able to continue drawing?

as for this, as long as nobody tels mi out of no sudden to draw a one-shot for SQ, i dun tink there is a problem.

Q9. why did you reject dis Q&A session at first?

i really had no time,it is definitely nt b'cos i am afraid of living things or i was so nervous tt i could nt sleep the night b4.
