posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The French television program toco toco began streaming its interview with manga creator Shōichi Haga (Inchiki-kun, Days of the Dam) last week. In video, Haga takes viewers to Cork Agency offices, the creative agency behind not only Haga, but Moyoco Anno, Keiichiro Hirano, Kōtarō Isaka, and more.
Haga began working under Cork Agency after his editor left Kodansha to found the company. His Days of the Dam manga is also simul-published in English by Crunchyroll. When he isn't working on his manga at Cork, Haga does workshops at the Mame-Hico cafe in Shibuya.
toco toco also interviewed award-winning anime art director Shichirō Kobayashi and Urotsukidoji creator Toshio Maeda. Future programs will feature manga creators Kendi Ōiwa (Welcome to the N.H.K.) and Chūya Koyama (Space Brothers).
