A special interview program featuring announcer Hisanori Yoshida in conversation with manga creators.
In June 2026, we welcome Mitsuharu Yanamoto, the creator of the 2017 Manga Taisho Grand Prize-winning manga Hibiki: Shousetsuka ni Naru Houhou (Hibiki: How to Become a Novelist) and, fresh off the conclusion of Ryu to Ichigo.
In this second installment of our four-part series, we continue the discussion on what makes a manga truly interesting and well-crafted. We also hear about Yanamoto’s move to Tokyo, his experiences in the dōjin (independent comics) scene, and the journey that led to his professional debut in commercial manga magazines.
Please share your thoughts, comments, and requests on social media using#MangaNoRadio — we'd love to hear from you!
