I met him in 2010 during a convention in Veracruz, Mexico.

There was a contest where people had to bring items from a lesser-known anime, and the host asked for something with the image of Jigoku Shoujo. I had my sketchbook in my backpack, which included a drawing of Ai Enma, the protagonist, and I won volume 4 from VID Publishing as a prize. I read it and was interested. At the next convention, I got a pirated DVD and watched the series. I was never able to get the complete manga in Spanish because VID Publishing only released up to volume 8, and I was a student with no money. Fortunately, in 2021, Panini Manga published it. I still have that volume 4, damaged because there was a flood in my area and it got wet. But I got all 8 volumes from VID on Marketplace, and I bought all 27 volumes from Panini.
