Had dinner with the creator and artist of Black Rock Shooter – Huke. He doesn’t make himself available to the public, hence the mosaic. He went from a fan to a budding pro. We had dinner as part of a year end chill out celebration. It seems like everyone does this. He’s getting ready for Komiket which is in a few days where he sells a ton of his new book. We ate at an awesome Chinese place in Matsudo which is outside of Tokyo center. The almond jello might be the greatest thing ever. The food is excellent, but this is a crown jewel. Even that strawberry which doesn’t look good, was good.This is what his toy looks like. It’s more of a statue and it’s long sold out. You know how the kaiju figures, or any new indie toy sells 1000 at the most? This does Uglydoll type numbers. That’s his booklet, it’s not a comic, but it’s a compilation of images.

That's Goodsmile Junko and Aki. We're at an all pork place. It even has a huge Buta lantern, which means, pig! It's pork everything including a hotpot that you cook and season with umeboshi, their special. It's a simple broth and you eat a little at at time. On this day the free dish they give you was spare ribs! Notice Aki is smoking at dinner. You can still do this.

That’s Goodsmile Junko and Aki. We’re at an all pork place. It even has a huge Buta lantern, which means, pig! It’s pork everything including a hotpot that you cook and season with umeboshi, their special. It’s a simple broth and you eat a little at at time. On this day the free dish they give you was spare ribs! Notice Aki is smoking at dinner. You can still do this. This isn’t pork, it’s egg and yuba on top.
