Hiro Mashima Teaches Fans How to Draw Breasts
Fairy Tail‘s creator Hiro Mashima shared a tweet helping out his fans struggling with drawing breasts:
Translation:
It seems that today is Oppai Day, so here’s a tip for beginner-level artists! Depending on the angle the character is standing at, the appearance of her clothing should change.
A lot of people have a tendency to draw like this (Referring to the NG or “No Good” example), and even I do it by accident sometimes.

Berserk’s Future
Commenting on the future of Berserk, Young Animal had the following statement:
We are sorry, but the future of Berserk is currently undecided. We will inform you in Young Animal Magazine as soon as it is decided so please wait for that. Thank you very much.
A new chapter (Chapter 364) of the series will be published on September 10th on the 18th issue of the year of Young Animal Magazine with a full color opening page. The issue will be a memorial to Kentarou Miura with a special message to the author and featuring famous scenes from the manga.
Even though chapter 364 was labelled the “latest” chapter of the series, it is still unconfirmed what will happen next. It is possible they will do as Zero no Tsukaima did and complete the series using notes left by the author, if he left any. Or they could simply find a new artist to continue the series as well, though it is uncertain how fans would react to someone new simply taking over. It is just as possible they would rather end the series in the absence of the original author. In any case, it is likely that it will be revealed in the memorial issue on September 10th.
