Medzi-O, mangaka : "Je vois des éditeurs dans le métro à Tokyo, ça se transforme en entretien"

“I like chance,” Medzi-O told us. Because chance has sometimes worked out well for the young manga artist. The best example? While returning from a manga convention in Tokyo, he recognized two editors from a major Japanese publishing house on the subway. He approached them, and the chance encounter turned into an interview that led to Shibuya. Medzi-O tells us about his journey, which will involve chance, small things that change everything; a spur-of-the-moment move to Japan… and a clothespin.
