An interview by Takehiko Inoue which focuses more on his daily and momentary feelings and thoughts towards his craft. He is known for his basketball drama 'Slam Dunk' and his samurai drama 'Vagabond'. Another Manga he started to make in 2001 called 'Real' is about wheelchair basketball players that highlights the psychology and mental struggles that the characters face. Another thing to note is how he uses a brush in his art, I've tried to use a black pencil in the past because it gives me the control like a pen but fades like a brush, and by looking at Masamune Shirow's work I can only pontificate that he does that. Yoji Shinkawa uses ink washes and goes over it with white correction fluid, not really the kind I find honestly suitable for manga comics but I find it a beautiful use of black and white media.
