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.

Here you'll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those that live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have "made it" and those who haven't are all trying to navigate life … and some with more grace than others.
