Citation:
The hit work "The Seven Deadly Sins", which has a cumulative total of over 37 million copies, was completed in March 2020 and has been serialized for about eight years. In "Magazine Pocket", 24 volumes of this work will be free from February 23 (Tuesday). The author has been proclaiming "I hate electronic" for some time, but why did you decide to make 24 volumes free of charge this time? We conducted an interview with Nakaba Suzuki, the author of "The Seven Deadly Sins" to learn about the changes in his mind!
What is the change in the mindset of the author of "I hate electronic" due to the corona virus?
- I heard that you will be freeing 24 volumes of the electronic version of "The Seven Deadly Sins" this time, but it seems that you have hardly done a free electronic version campaign so far.
Suzuki sensei:
Okay. I had a strong desire to read in a paper book and to take good care of the paper bookstore, so I wasn't very enthusiastic about making the electronic version free of charge.
The electronic version of the book itself has been released, but I asked for the release date of the new book to be one month later than the paper book. You might be called an analog person, but I grew up reading manga on paper, so I have a strong feeling for it. Besides, I don't do the internet at all.
- It's amazing that you don't do the internet at all! I heard that the teacher "dislikes electronics" ...
Suzuki sensei:
I can't do anything with a computer or smartphone (laughs). I've been drawing manga since I moved to Tokyo from Fukushima as a teenager, so I haven't had a chance to touch such things.
I really like games, but PS4 is also played by myself without being connected to the internet. A long time ago, there was a bug in the initial shipment of a game and I could not proceed, it seems that it was fixed on the Internet, but my PS4 is not connected to the Internet, so I can not proceed forever from there Sometimes it's gone (laughs).
- How do you interact with the editor in charge?
Suzuki sensei:
The basics are telephones. I can't use email either. Oh, but I use fax! I used to invite a writer who I became friends with at the magazine's year-end party to drink, but I don't have an email address, so I was very surprised when I called suddenly (laughs). Today's people don't make phone calls suddenly.
--Have you ever thought about using a computer or smartphone?
Suzuki sensei:
There isn't! (Laughs) I don't think there will be any in the future. Of course, the manga manuscripts are also drawn in analog, and the manga materials are all paper books.
It is sometimes recommended that e-books are not bulky, but I prefer to put paper books on the shelves. Therefore, just as the "Seven Deadly Sins" are lined up on the shelves, the spine has illustrations that are connected across the rolls. At first, I was thinking, "What if this is the end of the process ..." (laughs).
- You have a strong passion for paper, don't you?
Suzuki sensei:
I think that many people can read manga on their smartphones now, but can they read it properly on a small screen? Sometimes I think.
I don't want the electronic version to be released at all, but if possible, I would like you to read it in the size of a paper book. Besides, when it comes to paper, I sometimes read it back. I think that is also a good point of paper.
Above all, I've always loved paper bookstores, and I have a strong desire to take good care of them. Isn't the paper bookstore crushed right now? Of course, I'm glad that you can read it in the electronic version, but I can't help but want you to buy it at a paper bookstore. This time, I decided to make it free, but that feeling is still strong.
- What made you decide to make "The Seven Deadly Sins" free of charge this time?
Suzuki sensei:
It was also Corona. Right now, I can hardly go out and go out for my favorite drink, but there are people who are suffering even more in this situation, and the medical staff who are making great efforts There are also people. Or maybe you can't go out and buy manga. Under such circumstances, I wondered if it would be okay to do it only now if it would help you to spend your time at home.
I don't think I will continue to read manga in electronic version. However, I also know that young people are accustomed to reading on smartphones, so this is the situation, and smartphones and ... computers? But can you read it? If you read it, I think that's fine. And I think it would be even better if it helps to survive this corona wreck.
- I see. Thank you very much. Finally, do you have a message for your readers?
Suzuki sensei:
I think many people are having a hard time. I just finished the serialization, and at the timing when I thought "OK, I'll stretch my wings!", Corona became popular, and the new serialization started without being able to go out, but the situation is even more difficult. I think there are some. At such times, I hope that reading manga will make you feel better and help you as much as possible. Let's all get through this situation!
Also, from January of this year, the sequel to "The Seven Deadly Sins", "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," began in "Weekly Shonen Magazine." I hope you will read that as well.
