Hiroyuki Yasuda and ReoNa: A Special Conversation on Chihiro-san in Elegance Eve
Fans of the heartwarming series Chihiro-san have something very special to look forward to. In the April issue of Elegance Eve (published by Akita Shoten), which was released today on February 26th, a fascinating dialogue between the manga creator Hiroyuki Yasuda and the popular anime song singer ReoNa has been featured. This meeting is actually quite a big deal for the community because it marks the successful conclusion of the Chihiro-san manga series.
ReoNa is well-known for her soulful voice in various anime themes, but it turns out she is also a massive fan of Yasuda's work. During their talk, she shared her personal thoughts on why the Chihiro-san story resonates so much with people today. It wasn't just a simple interview; it felt more like two artists connecting over a shared love for storytelling. Yasuda also discussed his feelings about finishing the series after such a long journey. If you follow his work, you know he puts a lot of heart into his characters, and seeing him discuss the ending with a fan like ReoNa is really touching.
Exclusive Report Manga and Additional Content
What makes this issue of Elegance Eve even better is the inclusion of a specially drawn report manga. This manga section actually depicts the scene of the conversation between Yasuda and ReoNa, giving readers a visual treat of how the two interacted. For those who can't get enough of this crossover, another version of the interview is also being hosted on Souffle, which is Akita Shoten’s official website. It's great to see so many platforms celebrating the completion of this masterpiece.
The discussion between them is also up on Comic Natalie. However, you should definitely check out all the versions because the content in Elegance Eve, Souffle, and Comic Natalie are slightly different from each other. Each one offers a new perspective on Yasuda's creative process and ReoNa's fan perspective. To commemorate the end of Chihiro-san, Yasuda really opened up about his emotions regarding the character Chihiro, and ReoNa, coming from what they called "the same planet," was the perfect person to lead that conversation.
New Series Premiere: Sarang and Recipes
Apart from the Chihiro-san features, the latest issue of Elegance Eve also launched a brand-new series titled Sarang and Recipes: Love begins with Korean food. This new manga is based on the original work by Lee Young-ji and follow the life of a 30-year-old woman named Ayumi Matsuoka. Her story starts on a bit of a sad note as she catches her boyfriend cheating on her. While she is trying to drown her sorrows in drinks, she happens to meet a charming young man working at a Korean restaurant.
The series looks very promising for food lovers, especially since Kim Sook Hee is supervising all the cooking scenes to ensure they are authentic. Here are some highlights of what to expect in the new issue:
- Hiroyuki Yasuda x ReoNa: A deep dive into the finale of Chihiro-san.
- Report Manga: Visual depiction of the creators' meeting.
