Crossing the boundaries of magazines between Takemasa Aoyama, the author of the manga “Detective Conan” (serialized in Shogakukan “Weekly Shonen Sunday”), and Eiichiro Oda, the author of the manga “ONE PIECE” (serialized in Shueisha “Weekly Shonen Jump”). All talks are realized. The first part of the dialogue will be published in “Weekly Shonen Jump” No. 34, released on July 25, and the second part will be published in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” No. 35, released on July 27.
In an interview with a magazine that Aoyama received before, “It would be interesting if I could talk with Oda (Eiichiro) (laughs). Probably 100 volumes of” ONE PIECE “will be published at the same timing as” Conan. “It’s supposed to be. It’s probably about me and Oda-Kun, who continue the weekly anime broadcast while doing the weekly serialization. I want to talk about various things as a comrade. “
On the other hand, Oda also wrote in the table of contents/author comment section of “Weekly Shonen Jump” No. 49, 2021 (released on November 8 of the same year), “I don’t know, but I feel like a comrade. Volume !! “
This time, a dream dialogue was achieved by both parties, which exceeded 100 volumes of comics at the same time in the fall of 2021.
