Messages to Kentarou Miura: Tamami Momose (2)

This marks the end of the tributes to Miura. I hope they will have been as touching for you to read as they were for me to translate.

Part 1 of this translation can be found here

Momose: Mi..Miura-sensei～
Miura: Sorry for the lateness.
Momose: Thank you very much～
Miura: Most of all, (I’m happy) you like it.
Momose: Please hang in there for your work～
Miura: You too, Momose-sensei～! Let’s both hang in there!

I was also happy with these words he always gave me.


Once, he showed us how he drew.

Sharp eyes
Left-handed

A splendid drawing was completed with an awesome speed.


Momose: Awesome!
Momose: (It looks like) 3D while it’s 2D!!
Momose: How vivid!
Momose: Beautiful!
Momose: With just these tools!?
Miura: Thanks.

We had already met each other a long time before (this event) though.

He was gentle and when it came to manga, Miura-sensei was extremely focused and stoic. So Mr. Editor also adored him very much.

Puck: Sometimes (he was) mischievous.


Sometimes I heard the person in charge of him…
Veteran manager (of the department)

Manager: Kentarou-sensei hasn’t changed at all.
Manager: He’s mild, kind
Manager: Sincere,
Manager: Young.


I even heard from the young editors…

Editor 1: Miura-sensei kindly showed me his storyboards.
Editor 1: (They were) very very interesting!!
Editor 1: The story idea he had been envisioning was also interesting!
Editor 2: He’s ridiculously cool!!
Editor 2: Miura-sensei has tons of ideas, he’s amazing!!


Young Animal’s editing department is full of a strong will to make interesting manga.

I think their passionate attitude towards manga has been strongly influenced by Miura-sensei.


And I think this will can be continued.

I believe so.


But… I have endless thoughts (about this matter).

Thank you very much
