So I sent an email to the guy who created a bunch of Kazuo Umezu-inspired merchandise at http://www.otooto22.com, which you can purchase if you live in Japan. I simply asked if it wasn’t possible for them to ship to other countries as well; and he pretty much replied instantly saying it wasn’t possible, but they were willing to look into it. Which was the standard polite answer I’d expect from a Japanese person. But then he told me he was meeting up with Umezu-san soon, and asked if I wanted to relay a message to him. I was like “whuuuuuuut”. Kind of unsure what to say, I just told him to tell Umezu-san that his fans are rooting for him from all over the globe; and that it’d be really nice if some more of his works would get published in English.
So today I got an e-mail back basically saying that Umezu-san said “THANKS!” back, and that the guy from the Otooto22 site, a person from the publisher, and Umezu-san discussed the possibility of bringing over more works. Pretty neat, I thought.
先日はごメッセージ有難うございました。
昨日、楳図先生と会い、頂いたメッセージをお伝えしたら大変喜ばれておりました。
「ありがとう!とお伝え下さい」と言われましたので、メールしました。
出版社の人もいたので、私と楳図さんとで「14歳」と「わたしは真悟」の英語版を出さないとね!
とお話ししました。
楳図先生の作品がより多くの方に読まれるようになるといいですね!
Uno Moralezのページも見ました。良かったです!
それでは失礼致します。
