After an unexpected end, and three months under the radar, Manga Radio is back!

For our big comeback in September 2025, we welcome none other than the legend of legends —

 Osamu Akimoto, the creator of KochiKame.

Kicking off this four-part series, Episode 1 dives into his “real-life Ryotsu” boyhood days and the creative sparks of his high school years.
