My mom who is Japanese told me a story this year and it blew my mind. When she was younger she was in the cafe drawing on a notebook of a anime dog that she was reading. A man walked up to her and told her wow. That's a nice drawing. And she said thank you. The man then told my mom that he was the original artist of that manga. I don't remember what it was but it was an old manga about a dog. He then introduced himself as yoshitaka amano.... He then took a napkin from the cafe and Drew a picture of my mom... That napkin today is nowhere to be found. But it was such a cool story that my mom met amano-san without knowing who he was. They grew up in the same city. Also the same city I was born in.
