“Tears are tears, but I don't want to draw tears that aren't proactive. The feeling "Ahh, it's so sad" when people die and it's all over, it doesn't feel quite right. Even though a lot of people died in Gintama. Even if people die, it's not the end. I don't want to draw tears that fall and stay at the same place, but droplets that sprinkle along the road to one's future.” PeopleIfsWantFeelsEndsFeelingsDiesFallTearsDrawsDiedOver ItProactiveSo SadSprinklesDroplets Author:Hideaki Sorachi
“I often hear that Gintama is very kind to losers. The thought that “a failure like me can still keep living when I read this manga.” But I didn't intentionally draw losers. I've been told that it's because I'm a loser too. Well, fine. But honestly, I think everyone's a loser. The only difference is the skin we put on. Once you open the lid and look inside, everyone's the same.” ThinkingWellsLooksKindStillsDifferencesFineDrawsSkinsHonestlyLike MeLoser Author:Hideaki Sorachi
