Interview with Imai Arata: Manga Creator of F & Flash Point
I had the incredible opportunity to sit down with the creator of F (アイアムジョンキャントリー) and the upcoming Flash Point (フラッシュ・ポイント) - Imai Arata (今井新). We talked about Imai's journey in creating manga, how he chose to create manga around controversial subjects, and much more! If you're interested in Imai Arata's manga, or underground manga in general, check out my interview with Imai Arata! A HUGE THANK YOU to RYAN HOLMBERG (https://x.com/mangaberg) for interpreting / translating this interview, and to EMUH RUH of GLACIER BAY BOOKS (https://x.com/glacierbaybooks) for helping coordinate and putting out F and Flash Point in English. Keep an eye out on Glacier Bay Books' social media and website for information on F reprints and the upcoming Flash Point.
