“I was at Kodansha with some rough outlines when I bumped into Isayama-sensei of Attack on Titan!! And then, all of a sudden, he drew this for me! I am so freaking happy! Mikasa is reading my work!” stated upcoming author Okushou via Twitter.

Okushou is the author of Real Account, a monthly manga based on social networking (SNS). The only problem is that the protagonist, Ataru Kashiwagi, is sucked into the system, in which having zero followers means instant death. It’s a manga that tackles the life of individuals living in the digital age. In addition, Real Account debuted on January 2014, and is illustrated by Watanabe Shizumu.
