I'm here to recommend Mob Psycho 100 again, I believe you should give it another try :p
From all the members in this forum, when it comes to recommendations, I take your recs serious the most. It's no contest. And you know it.

However, Mob Psycho S1 just wasn't cut out for me. I picked it up only because of OPM and I strongly believe that I wouldn't have touched it at all if OPM hadn't existed. : /


Forgive me. :nomoar

Oi, came accross a very interesting Shirai/demisu interview, at 1st i wasnt sure about it but eventually found the source, still take it with a grain of salt in case of mistranlations or misunderstanding, i didnt want to post it in TPN thread now unless im certain about the translation, but just wanted to share this here :

miniartbook itw
Translations from the mini-artbook
(found on reddit, the miniartbook was released a couple of weeks ago: TPN itw interview )


There's an interview with Shirai and Demizu in the mini-artbook for volume 13, so I wrote up some of the interesting things and translated a few other parts directly. (All of this stuff was translated and written off the top of my head, so if anyone sees mistakes, please feel free to correct me!)

Highlights from the main interview:

When they did Poppy's Wish, Demizu had her choice of several different one-shots to illustrate, but that one was her favorite.
Shirai describes Emma as energetic, "like light," kind of motherly, and idealistic. She keeps the balance between Norman, who supports her, and Ray, who argues but helps anyway.
Because the main three all have exactly the same background, Shirai had to focus on differentiating them by their values and priorities.
Shirai requested that Demizu take special care to make Emma and Norman's designs very different. She came up with a bunch of potential designs for Ray, but both Shirai and their editor passed those over in favor of a random doodle (that she had almost junked) with the note "Ray looks like he'd be popular if one of his eyes were covered." Apparently Ray was more "wholesome-looking" in the original designs.
The staff rejected the earliest demon designs for looking too human, so Shirai left it to Demizu to make them look creepier and more alien. She tried a bunch of different approaches, including one where the demons had transparent bodies with visible internal organs, and ones themed on Captain Hook and the crocodile. She had fun with it, since she likes drawing monsters.
Demizu says "There are still secrets to the demons," and Shirai responds that they have designs to match... whatever it is they're hinting at.
When asked about the escape arc, Shirai and Demizu talk about having a rough time, desperately trying to keep up with the pace of weekly serialization. When asked for details, Shirai says that he would sometimes end up sending incomplete breakdowns so that Demizu could start on the artwork while he finished the chapter. Chapter 23 was especially bad - he couldn't get the breakdowns done for two weeks. He wanted to do something with an impact since they'd be getting a color page, so he decided to kill off Krone, but he couldn't make any progress because he couldn't figure out what Grandma thought of Krone. (He adds that people often tell him that he gets writer's block from the weirdest things.)
Demizu had trouble because she decided it would be fun to try to do all the backgrounds herself, since she likes the House. She quickly fell behind and had to get assistants to help her. She had mostly done design work before TPN started, and she came up with the designs for the House itself, plus ages, personalities, and room assignments (!) for all the kids. Shirai says that made the breakdowns easier for him to draw.
Shirai's favorite parts of the escape arc are chapters 14 and 25. Demizu likes the scenes showing mealtime at the House.
The string telephone in Norman's suitcase was Demizu's idea. Shirai originally had it being empty, and the addition inspired the bonus comic in volume 4. Demizu mentions that she doesn't think it's the same one as in the volume 2 bonus comics. Norman was probably sick many times after that, so she figures that they probably made a new one each time, and he packed the most recent one.
Shirai says that the above is just one example of how Demizu contributes to the story, and that TPN wouldn't be the same series without her input. Asked for more examples, he mentions Norman's creepy half-smile in the last panel of ch. 9. He had originally intended to make Norman seem like an innocent kid, but after seeing how Demizu drew him, Shirai decided that would be more interesting and changed his approach. Asked why she drew him that way, Demizu replies that, after considering how Norman might have felt in that scene, she thought it wouldn't work to give him the same kind of facial expressions he'd had up to then.
Shirai says he often makes unreasonable requests like "draw him with an expression that will make people want to read the next chapter." (He did this regarding Ray in ch. 13, for instance.)
Shirai says that a lot of things have changed from his initial plans. William Minerva (!) and Isabella's secret room didn't exist at first. Krone wasn't supposed to die, and Emma was supposed to return to the House to find that Gilda had become a Sister (!!) with Krone as the Mama. Ray was supposed to die. Norman never said that he liked Emma. (
actually that makes sense to me)

The most important parts of the story don't change, but Shirai alters other things all the time.
Asked what characters they would compare themselves to, Shirai picks Ray for his tendency to lose hope and give up. (He specifically says, the bad parts of Ray's personality, not the cool ones.) Also Don, because he sees himself as a nobody.
Demizu says she's the most like Tohma, because he looks like the self-portraits she'd draw of herself as a little kid. Her favorite is Lannion, who she put a lot of her favorite (visual?) elements into.
Shirai responds that he thinks Demizu is like Norman (for being reliable) or Phil (for being innocent), so she compares him to Isabella and Leuvis (?!). She laughs and says that there's a lot of Shirai himself in Leuvis' lines, then adds that she's expecting to add Peter to the list. Shirai counters that they both put a lot of themselves into all of the characters.
The interviewer asks who they would want to be friends with if they were in the House, and Shirai picks Phil, for being so friendly and cheerful. Demizu agrees with his choice but says she'd choose Emma and Lannion first.

Character Design Concepts (direct translation):

Emma

Shirai: "Five years old on the inside" and "a girl who is like an innocent boy." I remember requesting "not masculine, but not an object of romantic interest for readers, either."
Demizu: I wanted to make her lively and a bit androgynous. I had various ideas for her hairstyle, but it was decided from the start that it would be short. I like girls with long hair, too, so I also had a concept for her with a ponytail.

Norman
Demizu: Norman was supposed to be slender, but it was difficult to show that difference between him and the other children. All of them wear the same clothes, plus Ray is also pretty skinny, and Emma is a girl.
Shirai: I had a lot of out-there demands. "He's not the prince, he's the horse." And on top of that, I asked for something like "angelic, and a bit ethereal." At first, I got a Norman who looked fairly healthy, so I responded with the request to make him "a little more thin and fragile." At that point, Demizu-sensei drew the image of "Norman, who can't get the lid off a jar" that's in the bonus material in volume 1.
(Note: The Japanese equivalent of "knight in shining armor" is "prince on a white horse")
Demizu: I had Norman with more striking hair, too.
Shirai: At first, I meant to go with a simple design philosophy, so I think I caused her a lot of trouble.

Ray
Demizu: There was something vague about wanting him to match Isabella.
Shirai: It was about the black hair and dark eyes.
Demizu: Oh, that's right. Other than that, what he has in common with Isabella are his eyelids and eyebrows, I guess... So I could emphasize a sharpness that would make you wonder if he would become more like her as he grew up. But I couldn't spoil that, so I made the balance between Emma, Norman, and Ray first priority.

Isabella
Shirai: I requested "a woman who is poised and dignified, like a soldier and like a ballerina" and "make her a mom, not a teacher or a maid." Demizu-sensei adds idiosyncratic features to the designs depending on their characteristics, so that you can distinguish them by their silhouettes, but it turned out that if she did that for Isabella, it would look wrong. So it ended up that "Isabella's lack of distinguishing characteristics is her distinguishing characteristic." Because of that, she has basically the same kind of design as in my makeshift drawings from the original breakdowns. That turned out to look dignified and refined because it's Demizu-sensei's version of Isabella. Since her design didn't change much, it's easy for me to draw when I'm signing autographs.

Krone
Shirai: At the time, I considered the option of making Krone white.
Demizu: Not all of Krone's designs were originally black. I submitted a variety of designs, and she ended up being black.
Shirai: A white Krone would have been pretty good, too! A strong-looking, muscular young woman who comes off like some kind of foreign mercenary and looks like she'd start speaking questionable broken Japanese. But I think the current powerful Krone is the best, after all.
Demizu: I think it was best to make her a black person to make her easy to tell apart, since she wears exactly the same clothes as Isabella. Readers can distinguish between the characters at a glance.

Demons
Shirai: We have designs for demons from Demon A to O.
Demizu: I would draw tons of them, and they would pick a few of them. I was also directed to make them so that you can recognize at a glance that they're the demons from The Promised Neverland, and to make them simple, so that kids could draw them fairly easily. I think it was a good idea to make them so that people can draw imitations.
Shirai: We discovered that the closer to human they are, the creepier they get. Those demons look creepy if you put ears and things like that on them.
Demizu: They really are creepy, especially if you give them hair.
Shirai: I keep saying "They're so creepy" yet I gave instructions to "Please make them creepier and more threatening!"

Miscellaneous (direct translation):

What was in the breakdowns that you originally submitted?
Shirai: The kids finding out about the secret of the House and deciding to escape was the same. Emma wants to save everyone, but she never says anything about trying to escape with everyone like the current version. Ray's betrayal, Norman's shipment, and Emma's leg being broken are all in there. Krone appears, too, and the cliff around the farm is in it. Under conditions where it would be difficult for even one person to escape, Emma makes it out of the House alone, for the time being. She meets Sonju and Mujika and hears about the two worlds, the demons, and the promise from a thousand years ago, then sets out for her next destination. That's as far as it went, 15 chapters in all. It was a prototype I brought in as a presentation, depicting everything up to the escape as briefly as possible. Thinking back on it, it was poorly done.

And one last thing:

The interview has a list of the steps they go through in the creative process, with the note that they may have to make corrections at any step along the way.
  1. Discussion (Editor and Shirai)
  2. Drawing the breakdowns (Shirai)
  3. Reviewing the breakdowns (Editor)
  4. Drawing the rough artwork (Demizu)
  5. Reviewing the rough artwork (Editor and Shirai)
  6. Final art (Demizu)
  7. Reviewing the final product (Editor and Shirai)
  8. Sent to the printer
Shirai always includes a lot of notes with his breakdowns. Demizu mentions notes about things like characters' facial expressions or instructions regarding kids in the background, and Shirai says that he'll include notes about scenes he wants done a certain way for continuity reasons, or pass on notes from the editor. Demizu adds that he'll write things like "Make this panel look cool."

Yeah, playoffs are quite thrilling. : )
Celtics and the Rockets are doing good. A little bit surprised that the Nuggets are struggling right now. Didn't expect OKC to drop out so soon.

Hmh... it would be too much to write it down, so I'll just direct you to my :


This is so sweet and sad at the same time. : (

Already told you on slack what I think about this. A pure bliss! Gil is the best, fuhahahahahahha!!!! :kukuku

Wow, thanks for sharing. :zomg There are some nice parts in that interview.

Because the main three all have exactly the same background, Shirai had to focus on differentiating them by their values and priorities.
That's so true in the case of the trio.

"Ray looks like he'd be popular if one of his eyes were covered." Apparently Ray was more "wholesome-looking" in the original designs.
:lmao

The staff rejected the earliest demon designs for looking too human
That's interesting, so it was intended to make them look even more similar to humans. With the recent revelations, I can see why Shirai wanted them to look like that.

The string telephone in Norman's suitcase was Demizu's idea. Shirai originally had it being empty, and the addition inspired the bonus comic in volume 4. Demizu mentions that she doesn't think it's the same one as in the volume 2 bonus comics. Norman was probably sick many times after that, so she figures that they probably made a new one each time, and he packed the most recent one.
Shirai says that the above is just one example of how Demizu contributes to the story, and that TPN wouldn't be the same series without her input.

Shirai says he often makes unreasonable requests like "draw him with an expression that will make people want to read the next chapter." (He did this regarding Ray in ch. 13, for instance.)
They seem to have a hilarious chemistry. Shira's request "draw him with an expression that will make people want to read the next chapter." is too damn funny. :lmao

Shirai says that a lot of things have changed from his initial plans. William Minerva (!) and Isabella's secret room didn't exist at first. Krone wasn't supposed to die, and Emma was supposed to return to the House to find that Gilda had become a Sister (!!) with Krone as the Mama. Ray was supposed to die. Norman never said that he liked Emma.
Woahhh, that's some huge info they dropped there. Gilda as a Sister and potential antagonist? I would have preferred that more than Gilda being sidelined all the time, honestly.

Shirai responds that he thinks Demizu is like Norman (for being reliable) or Phil (for being innocent), so she compares him to Isabella and Leuvis (?!). She laughs and says that there's a lot of Shirai himself in Leuvis' lines, then adds that she's expecting to add Peter to the list.

Shirai: "Five years old on the inside" and "a girl who is like an innocent boy." I remember requesting "not masculine, but not an object of romantic interest for readers, either."
This part is amazing. I have so much more respect towards Shirai now. What a contrast to someone like Hiro Mashima.

Demizu: They really are creepy, especially if you give them hair.
Shirai: I keep saying "They're so creepy" yet I gave instructions to "Please make them creepier and more threatening!"
:lmao

Demizu adds that he'll write things like "Make this panel look cool."
Oh god, Shirai must be very difficult to deal with sometimes, haha. I hate it when my superior demands something generic from me without any proper details. :lmao They say "Draw this cooler" and think that is something soooo easy to achieve.

Thanky you very much for the pictures, Erinyes-chan. :3 They are all amazing. I'm starting to even like Bort more because of how elegant she looks like in those fanarts. :zomg Musica and serious looking Emma are badass as well!

My current reading list on MAL is 100% accurate. But not the complete manga list, since MAL refuses to add some manhwas in their database for idiotic reasons. If you want a 100% completely accurate manga list, then you are well-advised to visit my Baka-Updates profile. ; )

Yeah, playoffs are quite thrilling. : )
Celtics and the Rockets are doing good. A little bit surprised that the Nuggets are struggling right now. Didn't expect OKC to drop out so soon.

Hmh... it would be too much to write it down, so I'll just direct you to my :
ay german bro where did you disappear.
First round is alright, 2nd round gonna get fire this year. Celtics vs Bucks, 76ers vs raptors, warriors vs rockets.
not surprised with the Nuggets struggling, Spurs played like a top 3 team at the 2nd half of the season whenever Derrick white was healthy. Also Nuggets don't have much playoffs experience compared to Pop.

Have you seen Dame game winner yesterday? dude is cold blooded af

btw i was wrong, Irving got a player option on his contract so he'll be a free agent this summer.

aiight i'll check that list later.

No worries, scav. Just preferred to do some other stuff. : )

What are your predictions for this round? The table looks awesome:
  • Bucks vs. Celtics
  • 76ers vs. Raptors (Raptors already took the first win)
  • Warriors vs. Rockets
  • Blazers vs. Nuggets
I obviously root for the Celtics and Rockets. However, I don't think the Rockets can pull this off, KD seems unstoppable. Would also prefer the Raptors to advance.

Nuggets still - barely - made it though. Guess I will follow the other teams a little bit more next season.

It was just phenomenal. Such confidence, composure and skill you have to generate to make this kind of godlike move. Words don't do justice to this shot.

That's good to know. I still haven't decided on a favorite player yet...

They seem to have a hilarious chemistry. Shira's request "draw him with an expression that will make people want to read the next chapter." is too damn funny. :lmao


Woahhh, that's some huge info they dropped there. Gilda as a Sister and potential antagonist? I would have preferred that more than Gilda being sidelined all the time, honestly.

Yeah i agree i would have actually loved if they kept the initial route, i do think they might have been forced to make things meets Jump ideals and criteria, Ray was seemingly suposed to die and im not surprised. from the start due to the natrration, i felt either ray or norman would possibly die, im sure they made them kill Krone instead of ray to avoid shocking the audience. also ive read a very early itw from shirai & posuka and they told they wanted to surprise the audience by making a lot of unexpected stuff, and im sure gilda's betrayal was one of them, too bad, it would have been awesome if she became a sister. Also i do think they were at some point force to make Emma more "shonenesque" to fit some stuff (i think she was originally less naive, but well).

this pic ♥


no idea who did it seems to me like posuka art but didnt find this on her twitter but there : @osomitaa
