Sailor Moon and Hunter x Hunter creators thrill otakus

Seeing your idols healthy and happy is the best gift a manga fan can receive. This week, within the otaku community, the world-famous creators of Hunter x Hunter and Sailor Moon surprised everyone by appearing together in public. The married couple posed with huge smiles during a festival in Japan, easing our concerns about their health.

A miracle for Togashi's back

Almost everyone in the community knows that mangaka Yoshihiro Togashi suffers from debilitating back pain that prevents him from drawing and forces him to pause his famous shonen frequently. That’s why, when renowned photographer Mika Ninagawa uploaded a photo to the internet with him and his wife walking through a shrine in Kyoto, social media exploded with joy. Seeing the author standing up, completely relaxed and looking healthy, was a massive relief for everyone who follows his career closely.

The ultimate anime power couple

For the newer fans who didn't know the backstory, Togashi and Naoko Takeuchi (the queen and creator of magical girls) have been happily married for 27 years. They fell in love in the late nineties and have always kept their family life very private. They are, literally, the most powerful couple in anime history, bringing together two legends who gave us the most incredible childhood memories on television.

Peace of mind for the fans

This surprise photo is a true treasure because they almost never leave their home for public events. Seeing them quietly enjoying a flower festival made three things very clear that delighted the entire community:

• Improved health: Seeing Gon's creator walking without issues gives us hope that his back is finally allowing him to live in peace.
• True love: After nearly 30 years, the couple remains very close, full of energy, and mutually supportive.
• Peace of mind: Knowing that our favorite artists are resting and enjoying life is worth much more than demanding new chapters by force.

Seeing that the creator of the hunters' adventures finally looks healthy and well-rested, do you think we will finally get more consistent chapters of his story this year without so many medical hiatuses?
