In this interview, Fujimoto discusses the possibility of retirement among manga and anime creators. Hayao Miyazaki uses this as an example, as he directed Studio Ghibli Aka Akasaka 's example and focus solely on writing.

"I don't know about it right now, but Aka Akasaka, the author of "Oshi no Ko," declared that he wouldn't draw to focus on writing. I thought it was a good idea and I want to do that too! [laughs]."

Synopsis:

The story takes place in a world where demons are born from human fears. While they are generally dangerous and malevolent, humans can form contracts with demons to harness some of their power. Denji is a depressed young man trying to repay his late father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a demon hunter. But Denji also has a small pet demon named Pochita, who assists him in his work.

Tatsuki Fujimoto launched the manga in Weekly Shonen Jump in December 2018, concluding the first arc in December 2020 with 11 volumes. Part 2 of the manga launched in July 2022, but its chapters are now published in Shonen Jump+ . The new manga story introduces a new and different protagonist, Mitaka Asa, a student who attends the same high school as Denji.
