Bon ça va, on devine de suite qu'il y a eu un twist. Après la conséquence...
Sinon maintenant que j'y pense, au milieu du cafouillage qu'est le forum Jump de mangahelpers, il y avait eu des posts d'une interview des auteurs (en japonais):
PARTIE 1 et
PARTIE 2Et comme j'ai la flegme, résumé en Anglais (@BanzaiMang):
- Neverland was conceived around 3 years ago
- When Shirai and Sugita met, he took 300 pages (around 15 chapters) to Sugita
- The main character was still a girl from the start. That didn't change throughout the planning phase up to serialization.
- Posuka really wanted to be the artist after seeing the story. Their (Shirai and Posuka's) first work was Popy's Wish on Shonen Jump+, which they chose to do just to get reader impressions on there before heading to WSJ.
- Some of Shirai's influences include Naoki Urasawa, Takeshi Obata, Yusei Matsui (He liked Neuro a lot), Hirohiko Araki in suspense factor, and various others.
- Shirai often watches movies, which are also a big influence. He mentions a movie he loves called The Good Son, a suspense film.
- He likes situations with two-sided characters and excitement.
- Shirai: "Within Jump, while other manga are creating flashy and fierce battles, we only have to make strong pulls with psychological warfare that exceeds that."
- Posuka likes drawing Krone. Shirai also likes seeing her in action.
- Posuka also likes drawing Isabella, and thinks she is the only character currently that should be drawn beautifully.
- Shirai likes to deceive/challenge the readers.
- Shirai's wants to tell the message of "Friendship, Effort, Victory" (the Jump slogan) in the story. Even if the girl is the hero, without any battles, and if the story seems anti-Jump like, he still hopes it will lead in that message.
- He's decided the setting and story of the world where Emma will escape to. The meaning/place is in the title "Promised Neverland".
- The title of the manga was supposed to be "Neverland" only. But, it was supposed to be somewhat better in that "Neverland", so he changed the title.
He's thinking of developing a way where the term "Promise" is linked to the core of the story firmly.
Shirai: "If Emma can jailbreak successfully, I'll know the meaning of "Promised Neverland", so I'd like to do my best to not have the series end by that time (laugh)!
- The jailbreak arc will be finished around volumes 3-4, Shirai doesn't know how it will go but he'd like to proceed to the next arc soon.
