"MCPO AWARD 2017" Award Ceremony Report(8/13)

MCPO AWARD 2017 award ceremony reportIkaros from Suu Minazuki's "Heaven's Lost Property" (left) and Nene Nanakorobi from Koshi Rikudo's "Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn" (right).

Koshi Rikudo drew Nene Nanakorobi from "Pandora in the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn," a manga that is currently in publication, on the right hand side of the canvas. The left hand side of the canvas was empty, but Suu Minazuki said that drawing a character facing towards the right (from the perspective of the reader) can be a bit tricky, so used the digital technology at hand to flip the image over so that he could draw the character the way he wanted, before flipping it back. If you look at the final drawing you would never know all that had happened!

While he was drawing Ikaros from "Sora not Otoshimono (Heaven's Lost Property)," he said that he could not remember the exact clothes that the character wears, so it ended up more of a Ikaros-like character. Rikudo nodded in agreement. Seguchi
shared a story about checking his smartphone to jog his memory when asked to draw one of his character from a while ago. Surely these kinds of things must happen to manga artists quite often! The stories really got the whole audience laughing.
