[Video Discussion] Popular manga artist Hiroyuki-sensei, who won the #1 spot on Amazon, talks about how he got obsessed with watches and ended up with 5000 million yen in debt.

The radio program "BEST ISHIDA Presents Chronos Japan Tick Tock Talk♪" is hosted by Chronos Japan Editor-in-Chief Masamasa Hirota. We are pleased to present the after-talk video recorded with manga artist Hiroyuki as the 10th guest.

Drawing manga can be a very lonely job. Since I started buying watches, I've made more friends!

　"Chronos Japan Edition Tick Tock Talk♪" began airing on TOKYO FM on July 1, 2023. This program will feature an after-talk with guests after the recording!

　There are so many different kinds of watches, and each one has its own unique character. Just like I can't be satisfied with just one interesting manga, I've gotten to the point where I can't be satisfied with just one watch. Watch prices are constantly rising, so I thought it would be best to buy one now, when I want one... As a result, I ended up taking out a 5000 million yen shopping loan, hahaha.

　Our guest this time is manga artist Hiroyuki. Hiroyuki, a popular manga artist with four serialized works that have been adapted into anime, including "Aho Girl" and "Kanojo mo Kanojo," has written a new book entitled "The Story of How a Manga Artist Whose Four Works Have Been Adapted into Anime Got Obsessed with Watches and Got 50 Million Yen in Debt." His candid monologue about how he went from buying an Omega De Ville to buying a Richard Mille just five years later, and how he's still obsessed with watches, has sparked a buzz in the watch industry.

Hiroyuki, who now has a "nice guy" character and even invites a manga artist who is more successful than him to a watch presentation, talked about why he became so obsessed with watches in such a short period of time while looking at his favorite watches.
