So Masami Kurumada supervises mangas based on his original work, and the only reason he didn't dedicate more time to Episode G was that he was handling multiple manga. He is my student, we work on the same studio, therefore I can take more of my time with his work than with Episode G. Satoshi Yuri is very responsible and works very seriously. Megumu Okada has made a trully impressive work, but he prints on it his own style and story. MK: I develop a supervision over them, however the artists are totally free to develop the plot. Can you tell us more about these projects?
