The author of "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" talks about the reason for his sudden retirement: he often feels embarrassed because of his lack of drawing skills

Earlier this month, the famous manga "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" was officially completed. Unexpectedly, the next day, on November 3, the original author Akira Akasaka suddenly announced his retirement from the cartoonist profession and would only continue to be active as an original writer in the future, which caused regret among fans. Recently, the media interviewed Akira Akasaka and talked about the real reason for his retirement. It was because he was often embarrassed and confused because of his lack of drawing skills.

•Akira Akasaka said that actually when he applied for a comic magazine, his first wish was to be the original author (writer). However, among the multiple planners, only "Kaguya-sama: Love is War" was selected. He had to be both the original author and the painter in order to start the serialization. In fact, he is not good at painting, and he always encounters scenes that he cannot draw no matter what. He is often embarrassed and confused. It is more refreshing to simply engage in creative ideas.
