If you're beyond excited about this announcement, reach out to NHK via their contact form to let them know that people outside of Japan can't wait to watch!

- if you're not familiar with "Manben", it's a TV show where Naoki Urasawa interviews various manga artists. Great discussions & drawings ;-]
- the book Otomo has in front of him in the photo above is a rare deluxe/XXL edition of his manga "Domu" (of which I have a copy at home ;-).
As silly as it sounds, not everyone in Japan knows people outside of Japan enjoy this series. Maybe Akira, but not specifically Manben.
