What do you think the person who owns you five years from now would make of your current worries?
I think we’re living in an era where there are all kinds of choices. If you hate your job, you can switch careers. If you’ve hit your limit, you can take a leave of absence. If married life is rough, you can divorce. If the place you’re in now is painful, you can go somewhere else. But in reality, it isn’t that easy to choose. There’s money to live on. There are worries about the future. There’s also the fear of letting go of the place you’re in. There are the eyes of family and friends to worry about. Or, in the first place, you don’t even know what you truly want to do. So before you know it, you end up doing things you don’t want to do. At first it was for the sake of living. I didn’t want to be seen as weird by the people around me. I didn’t want to mess up in a big way. I wanted to look like I was doing things properly as an ordinary person. But as you keep at it, I feel like you gradually lose track of what you like, what you hate, and what you want to value. Even though the world is full of choices, maybe surprisingly few people are thinking for themselves and choosing their own path. I think it’s important to take responsibility for what I want to do, work hard, and take on challenges. Of course, I don’t think people who endure and work are weak.
There are a lot of people around me who went to university on scholarships that have to be repaid. A scholarship that requires repayment is more like debt than a scholarship, isn’t it... Is there any point in going to college if you have to borrow money?
I feel like the minimalist design trend is bringing more soulless, similar designs, and the fun of expressing personality through color and shape is fading. Do you think that's a good change? Or do you think we're losing design diversity?
An unprecedented Demon Slayer boom is sweeping the nation, but maybe it's not as big as the public's making it out to be? I'm gathering everyone's opinions!
There should be lots of ways to enjoy the countryside, but I wonder why people flock to the city. I actually feel like there are plenty of things you can do in the countryside. Looking for opinions.
At work, I opened up to a coworker I’d become friendly with about something I was struggling with. They listened sincerely and said, “You shouldn’t have to carry that alone.” After that, they also talked to someone else about it, and as a result, my workload got a little lighter. I think it helped. Honestly, things became easier. But at the same time, I started feeling like people now saw me as “the person who’s having a hard time.” No one did anything wrong. If anything, everyone was being thoughtful. Still, it made me wonder: if getting help means my weakness becomes visible to others, how much of myself am I okay with sharing?
Is there anything that should have become more convenient than before, but somehow makes you feel more tired now?
As of 2026 there are 114 volumes out, but isn’t that way too many? It’s supposed to be a manga for teens, but for teens to catch up, is it already too long?
Please make it as realistic as possible, including work, daily life, and the feel of cities.
There are plenty of phrases like that would be awful to hear, but why doesn't something you'd want to be told ever come up?
I want something realistic that could actually work in the world today.
War impacts your daily life and finances, even if you're not directly involved. What actions would you take to protect your family?
Tensions with a neighboring country are at an all-time high. Your military advisors want force, your economic team wants dialogue. What is your first public statement?
Someone on the train clearly needs help, but everyone is avoiding eye contact and ignoring them. Do you step in, or stay silent like everyone else?
