Consequently, we have increasing opportunities to encounter terms like \"political correctness,\" \"DEI,\" and \"diversity,\" as well as expressions that reflect these perspectives. While these are vital efforts aimed at a fair and equal society, they also require us to examine ourselves. Could my expression—or the expressions I have received—have hurt someone, or perhaps even myself? Facing such questions is a complex experience, sometimes accompanied by pain, conflict, and confusion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the backdrop of our current situation, this book features interviews with 12 manga artists and illustrators who continue to create while confronting \"people,\" the \"world,\" and \"expression.\" We ask them about their motivations, conflicts, daily thoughts, and how their perspectives have changed over time, alongside a selection of their past works.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEvent Overview\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDate and Time: Friday, November 28, 2025, 19:30 - 21:30\u003cbr\u003eFee: General: 1,500 yen \/ Students and Disability Certificate holders: Free\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs part of our infection control measures, attendees are welcome to wash their hands and gargle at the venue.
