Just stepping outside for a little bit leaves me feeling foggy-headed lately.
It seems like the heat is intense all over the world, and I’ve heard there are regions where it's even led to fatalities. We’re doing our best to stay sharp and make it through this summer safely.
The other day, I attended a seminar led by a ballet instructor, focused on how to use the body correctly.
As a bodybuilder, I found it incredibly fascinating—and to sum it up, it was a very worthwhile experience.
Smartphone and computer work really mess up your posture. And as a manga artist, our job takes that one step further.
Apparently, Japanese people are also more prone to poor posture due to skeletal structure.
In other words, I realized I’m living as a modern-day Japanese manga artist—basically the embodiment of poor body mechanics. But I feel like I learned, even if only a little, how to correct that with my own efforts.
There’s a Japanese bodybuilding champion with the most titles who once said, “You can’t build muscle without good posture.”
I finally understand what he meant. Of course, the benefits go far beyond just bodybuilding.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to share this kind of insight with others. Honestly, I really wish Achu-sensei would take the seminar too.
And frankly, if this had been two years ago, I might’ve understood it in my head but not in my body.
The body always tells the truth, even when the mind pretends otherwise! (Feels like something out of an erotic manga.)
Many artists suffer shoulder and lower back injuries that keep them from working.
We’ll do everything we can to avoid ending up the same way!
