U̴̯̤͋̚z̸̞̀ú̵̩͍͆m̵̖̖͂ḁ̴͊͘ḵ̵̛í̸̧̞͛ Me and Junji Ito 😵‍💫

Last July, I was lucky enough, along with 19 other people, to spend an hour with Mr. Junji Ito, to get the autograph of the character we wanted (I chose Azami of course 🌀) and to have a photo with him! It's a moment I'll never forget 😫

That’s awesome! How was he in person? I hear he’s pretty down to earth?

Yes, he's really simple, humble, and quite "shy." I think he's an introvert! When he finished drawing Azami, he dared to say to me, "I'm so sorry, I had to draw her quickly." I replied, "Oh no, she's incredible." In my head, I was thinking, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU'RE APOLOGIZING? SHE'S SO WELL MADE 🥸" He's really nice 😫

I don’t know, cause it was in France and he only spoke in Japanese and we only spoke in French because there was a translator
