Main Feature: Japanese Manga artists - Motohiro Kato -
The popular Q.E.D. Shoumei Shuryo mystery manga still appearing in the bi-monthly E-no magazine won the Kodansha Manga Award in 2009 and has sold 3 million volumes so far. Q.E.D. is now in its record 14th year for a bi-monthly magazine manga and a spin-off, C.M.B., in Monthly Shonen Magazine has become a hit as well. Motohiro Kato has been authoring the two serials simultaneously for the past 6 years. This week, we focus on the man behind these extraordinary mystery manga. The protagonists of Q.E.D. Shoumei Shuryo are Sou Touma, a prodigy who graduated from a top US university at the age of 15, and Kana Mizuhara, a kind high-school girl who uses her extraordinary athleticism to aid people in distress. The two solve all kinds of mystery, from trivia to murders, using such mathematic propositions as the Dedekind Cut or Euler's Formula and their own erudition in subjects ranging from astronomy to history, music or literature. Our manga-loving reporter, Sawa, asks the author everything from how and when he comes up with his extraordinary twists to tips on how to write a good mystery and whether he starts with the story or the clever twists. She also joins Kato as he hunts around for a good location.

With their power suits masking their never-ending sense of panic, every party, set visit, casting decision, marketing meeting, and award show presents them with an opportunity for glittering success or career-ending catastrophe. As someone who eats, sleeps, and breathes movies, it's the job Matt's been pursuing his whole life, and it may very well destroy him.
