Inside the Smoky World of Adachi Mitsuru: A Personal Visit

During a memorable visit to the workplace of Adachi Mitsuru, the renowned manga artist known for his works like 'Touch' and 'H2', I had the chance to observe the environment where his iconic stories come to life. Known for his heavy smoking habits, Adachi-sensei's studio was filled with the distinct aroma of tobacco. As I gazed at the ventilation fan, stained with years of smoke, I couldn't help but ask if his assistants shared his smoking habits. Adachi-sensei, taking a deep drag from his cigarette, pondered the question before responding with a thoughtful expression. This moment offered a unique glimpse into the personal habits and atmosphere that accompany the creation of beloved manga series.
