The LENGTHS manga artists will go to stay anonymous!!

[HavianEla]

Honestly, with how people act like they’re entitled to celebrities’ private lives, I don’t blame ANYONE in the public eye for ANY steps they take to maintain privacy.

[最強の人]

Arakawa uses a cow because she grew up on a dairy farm in Hokkaido, and she never makes any public appearances. Edward's voice actress goes in her place.

[alexandresobreiramartins]

Mangaka don't want to be harassed by insane fans. And they're right, they have a right to their privacy, but fans would never see it that way.

[Notofficialcover]

Asagiri knows what he's doing
He's currently torturing the BSD fandom rn and staying anonymous is for his safety.

Edit: Apparently people are sending Asagiri death threats?! Yeah Asagiri I totally see why you stay anonymous

[hxmini]

no way asagiri can just put on that mask knowing he killed off so many characters and made the fandom scared brow

[bronzdeck]

Fun Fact: The author of Beastars is the daughter of the author of Baki

[katsmitansh]

Gege wearing a Mechamaru head is also just simply lovely.

[TheBSDandPJOfan]

Considering what's going on in the manga rn, Asagiri has many reasons to stay anonymous

[Keydicken]

The BSD author having a name based on another major author is the most BSD thing I can think of

[PatheticBungouStrayKidsFan]

Its a very good thing that Asagiri is anonymous.... the fandom is freaking insane...

[ishitaasen]

Asagiri with a book in front of his face is the most in character thing for him to do... Cuz you know... Dead authors... Books (i can't believe how many comments I pulled because of saiki pfp lmao)

[UltraAlex]

Itagaki Jr: furry
Itagaki Sr: muscular men punching each other a lot

[sizaiiii]

As a BSD fan we're more concerned about BSD's plot than Asagiri's face 💀

[altheam-c]

Reminds me of how Yana Toboso, writer of Black Butler who is infamously shy, admited AFTER a thing related to her manga opened (either a tea shop or something like that) that she'd actually gone. In a full body Bitter Rabbit costume. One of the other artists interacted with fans, she just got to gesture cutely in the background and of course no one would know.

[Madridd_fan]

Araki
> doesnt fucking care if fans blackmail him
>shows his face all the time
>kills fan favorite characters multiple times
>he forgot
>people still like him

Araki is just different

[jjjellyfizh]

asagiris mask is literally a bsd reference tbh

[Struggler_]

I mean considering how mentally insane some anime fans are. You can't blame them for doing that

[LuckySketches]

And then there's the GOAT Hirohiko Araki, whose eternally youthful face we all know.

[Irene_]

Asagiri is really creative
Like who would have thought to make anime characters after dead authors giving them special ability and mental trauma 😅

[theshadowking]

Beaststars is such a goated series can’t wait for season 3
