Alcohol is delicious.
On an otherwise uneventful Sunday, Aka Akasaka, the mastermind behind "Kaguya-sama: Love is War", decided to relax with some beer and answer a couple questions on Twitter. Here is the full translation of the impromptu Q&A session, which resulted in more than a hundred answers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀
Alcohol is delicious.
I don't know if it tastes good, but I'm happy.
I'm drunk, so I'll respond to questions today.
Dry ones are delicious.
Everything except plum wine.
If you were to compare Kaguya-sama to alcohol, what would she be?
Bloody Mary.
Just what is going to happen to Ishigami and Iino??!?!
I legitimately don't know either.
Italian from Uber.
I get you. There's always that desire to get married, isn't there?
Good evening, Akasaka-sensei! My dad, at the age of 57, who's only watched SLAM DUNK for anime, is now waiting excitedly every week to watch Kaguya-sama, what are you going to do about this!!!!!
That's a good thing, ya know.
If I were to go with drawing, it would be Fujiwara.
Possibly, if it's wholesome.
Do you have a character that you particularly like in Kaguya-sama?
I like Maki-chan. If I don't like a character, I just write them in a way that I do like them.
When I wrote the bento chapter, I was like, "Oh, I might like these guys."
Like once every two months.
I don't need a reply, but I'd love it if you read this. I seriously, really love Kaguya-sama way too much, it's crazy. I love it. I'll be continuing to support you!
I'm drunk, so I'll respond to questions today.
Sorry for missing the repeat questions, or the ones I couldn't answer in 5 seconds.
I'm drunk, so I'll respond to questions today.
Questions that are easier to answer will get a response more easily.
Where'd you come out from, head chef? I like dishes like tomato past with mozzarella cheese, or stuffed hamburger meat!
I'm half-half between boxers and boxer shorts.
I act like Fujiwara at school, but Ishigami at home. Which one do you think is the real me?
Both of them included is your real self.
If President were to drink alcohol in the future, what do you think he'll drink? Kaguya-sama seems like she'd drink red wine, and Secretary Fujiwara seems like she'd spend her time eating ramen instead, but I can't think of what President would drink.
He's the type who keeps blabbering on about shochu.
Both of them.
What do you have to say about the achievement of having two series simultaneously in Young Jump?
You get used to it once you try, huh?
I'm watching President's training episode (school song) right now. Are you planning on doing any more training chapters? I love the sea cucumber intenstines description lol
I'm planning to.
Class B, I guess.
You should try and eat if you want to be able to eat.
I like to hear people talk about their love life.
I love Hayasaka to death. Is it possible that she'll end up with someone in the future?
Depends on what Hayasaka does.
Yona Yona Ale
Is the model of the bookstore where Hayasaka tried to seduce Shirogane, both in the anime and in Volume 6, based after MARUZEN & JUNKUDO Shibuya? Or was it a different bookstore?
I think it was in Shibuya.
She's just a normal girl. I don't know which one that would point to.
Are you going to put out a complete version of Instant Bullet someday?
No one wants to do it because they think it won't sell, I guess..
I guess it depends on what server it is.
Oh sorry, I didn't.
I've preordered all of the BDs on Sofmap.com! I'm also collecting the manga, including the "Talk About" spinoff. It's so good that I want it to continue forever😂
People who actually buy it are a huge help!!
Your name is really easy to type, was that what you were aiming for?
It's so good!
I'm planning to draw the cover soon.
NOT!!!!! YET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking forward to Kaguya-sama every week on Young Jump and the anime! Are you ever planning on sneaking in IA-chan again?
That kind of goofing off depends on my mood on that day.
I don't know.
Is there any manga or anime you watched a lot as a child?
Mahoujin Guru Guru (Magical Circle).
I play Insider a lot recently.
Were you planning on giving a name to Tsundere-senpai from the start?
Is there a character in Kaguya-sama that you think is close to your personality?
If you mix all the characters together they'll become like me.
Are there any actors or VAs from the anime+movie that you're friends with?
How do you define the meaning of friendship!!!? (sounding like an annoying otaku)
Thank you very much for making Kyoto the destination of your school trip! Was there a particular place that you liked, after researching it?
The teppan-yaki in the train station underground shopping area was pretty popular among the assistants.
Will you be writing about when Shirogane was in General Affairs?
Depends on what Hayasaka does.
I haven't decided yet, but it feels like I'm going to have to at some point.
Handmade, vegetables.
It says transistor glamour (shortstack) in the setting notes.
Its almost the third year arc, so there's going to be quite a few, I guess.
I like the weird ones.
I like the moonwatching one for Season 2.
Is it true that you were a fan of Tenshi na Konamaiki (Cheeky Angel)?
Until graduation.
Do you have any part of the anime that you feel was better than the manga, or made you feel "They got me!"?
The weiner one.
Nice to meet you. Is Kaguya-sama still wearing the necklace that she got from Shirogane for her birthday? Is Shirogane also wearing that necklace?
I think they're probably wearing it.
Who would you like to go out with in Kaguya-sama Wants to Be Confessed To?
No, I guess Maki-chan.
Smoked food.
Pretty realistic, isn't it?
Are the lunch boxes at President's home made of frozen food? Or are they handmade?
I think they have a lot of frozen food, they're busy, after all.
I want to see the continuation of President and Kaguya-sama's past!!
The timing is hard.
If Shirogane and Kaguya-sama have a kid, would it be a boy or a girl?
It would be hilarious if they were nonuplets (nine born at once), wouldn't it?
Which character in Kaguya-sama is your view of love most similar to?
Tsubame-senpai and Nagisa.
Please reply if you can, I don't care if it's just an "Ah" 🥺
Are there any VTubbers you've been watching a lot lately?
I really like Iinchou and Otogibara. Some others would be Fumino Tamaki, Inuyama Tamaki, Kiryu Coco, Shiina Yuika, honorifics omitted.
Do you have a favorite combination of people? Like Miko-chan and Ishigami, for example.
I like the trio of Shirogane, Ishigami and Maki.
What do you think about the VAs (especially Suzuki-kun)? Anyone is fine (please do Suzuki-kun).
He's an amusing guy.
With green onion.
Tenki no Ko / Weathering with You
I've considered it in the one-shot, but I don't have plans to in the actual manga.
I enjoy drawing them.
Will we get someone for the remaining slot of General Affairs? Or will it stay empty?
It's reasonable to say he/she'll be one of the "suitors".
How did you think of the staging for the kiss scene in the "Normal Romance" arc?
I wasn't planning on making them kiss, but they went off and did it on their own.
Is there anything that you definitely buy at the convenience store?
It's a lot of work, so I think I'll retire in my 40s.
The school days of one's youth.
Will there ever come a day when Koba-chan's glasses will come off?
9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.
Which do you like better, "chicken," "pork" or "beef"?
Beef, it's delicious.
Copying a sutra.
I don't think you need a reason to like someone, but in this case I think there is a reason.
When I go to bed right before a deadline.
Not for now. I can totally see a revival of the manga happening 10 years later.
Is there a reason why you decided to put a ribbon on Fujiwara?
There was leftover space.
I want to know more about Mikado-kun, but will he show up again?
How old is the headmaster of Shuchiin?
You might be able to count backwards if you read the novel.
What do you think is the difference between "I like you" and "I love you"?
I'm worried about whether to let my younger sister, who's in her first year of middle school, read Kaguya-sama's S*X part.
I'm so sorry.
To change and not to change.
She said the "first time," but is Tsubame-senpai a virgin or not?
It really depends on what "something like this" is referring to, isn't it? I wonder which one she is.
The date has changed, so I'm just going to answer a few more that caught my interest and end it.
Beats, maybe.
Who do you think is the most decent of the student council?
Do you have any good places to eat around Minatomirai?
Hungry Tiger.
I'm one of the few Ishi x Tsuba people.
I want more stories between them.
As of right now, I can't reply anything if I am told "she's just a plot device yo"
Their turn will come eventually
I'm sorry that I skipped some questions because there are so many people asking something I remember answering in past interviews. I'll do it again sometime.
And that's it for the Q&A!
