Because she was beautiful on the outside, but really messy inside the house.
I mentioned this to the editor, and he thought it was interesting and suggested that I use it as a subject matter.
2. My younger sister is 2 years younger than me.
Since I was young, I had to take care of my older brother a lot, and my parents also cared for my younger sister especially, so when I was young, I was the only one who complained, but at home, we even drew cartoons together about the hamster we raised together.
3. My sister sincerely congratulated me when I decided to serialize Umaru.
They say this is about me, and I remember this well.
4. Around the time the first season of the anime aired, around volumes 6 or 7 of the manga, it was revealed that the younger sister had some kind of illness.
When told that it might be an incurable disease, the writer encouraged him by saying that it could not be possible and that he and his parents are both healthy, so he is too concerned.
5. After getting tested, it turned out to be an incurable disease, so I started being hospitalized.
6. At the time of Volume 11, Umaru’s illness became serious and his younger sister died.
7. Up until now, I thought I should live my life happily and be grateful to the people who thanked me, but why does this only happen to my younger sister? Why is this world like this? I’m starting to get depressed.
8. Since I used my real-life younger sister as a model, drawing became painful, so I asked the editor to take a hiatus.
9. At that time, the first season of the anime was in full swing, so I started to have complex feelings of sadness and happiness mixed together (I was depressed on the inside, but I had no choice but to attend the animation after-party on stage, and I was really happy thanks to the production team).
10. The manga cover has always featured items related to the author’s surroundings, but in volume 11, the shirt Umaru is wearing is actually the shirt his younger sister wore.
11. I tried to write a story about my sister in a book, but I gave up because I was afraid it would be a nuisance to readers who enjoy reading Umaru.
12. The reason I filmed today’s video was because I thought it wouldn’t work if I didn’t reveal my true self on YouTube.
13. I think that Umaru is the writer’s younger sister and the evidence of her sister’s life, so wouldn’t living without forgetting Umaru mean living without forgetting your sister for the rest of your life?
So, I hope you don’t forget Umaru.
14. I thought I would end up saying this on Twitter or somewhere else, but I never thought I would say it on YouTube.
My impression of Umaru may completely change once I hear about it, but please be kind to me.
Oh, it’s so sad.
