The Japanese comics circle officially clarified the urban legend that Oda's family has an ATM and Araki is a vampire

According to foreign media reports today on November 16, a lot of urban legends and anecdotes circulating in the Japanese comics circle were revealed. The more famous ones include that Oda's family has an ATM, that Hirohiko Araki is actually a vampire, etc. Some of them were clarified by the official personally. Of course, the vampire talk is pure joke.

•As we all know, comics are extremely developed in Japan, and many well-known cartoonists have been born there. Various bizarre rumors about them have gradually become urban legends. For example, it is rumored that the author of "Kamikaze Police Station" had an amazing record of stockpiling 30 chapters in advance. Later, it was officially confirmed that there were only 5 chapters. However, this is much more dedicated than some cartoonists who submit their manuscripts on time or delay submitting them every day.

•Another famous urban legend is about Eiichiro Oda, the author of One Piece. It was once said that the wealthy Oda’s home was equipped with an ATM machine. Later, Oda himself denied it on a TV show and it became a joke.

•There is another urban legend that seems more realistic. It is rumored that the original author of "Golgo 13", Takao Saito, only drew the eyes and directed the rest to be completed by his assistants. This legend was once widely circulated until the editorial department officially issued a statement in 2013 denying this statement and clearing Mr. Takao Saito's reputation.

•Of course, there are also urban legends that do not need official clarification at all, because they are really unreliable. For example, the author of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", Hirohiko Araki, has always shocked the comics circle with his secret to maintaining his youthful appearance. There are also many rumors that he is a vampire, which are purely jokes.
