Interviewer: Apparently you even got a collapsed lung while you were facing those deadlines.
Asano: Ah, that’s true. Apparently collapsed lungs are just caused by the way your body is and have nothing to do with stress, though. (laugh) But I had just graduated university at the time, and I’d holed myself up in this tiny one-room apartment that didn’t even have the internet set up, doing all the work myself. It was rough. I wouldn’t want to go back to that. So I was happy when I got my collapsed lung — now I had a good excuse to stop drawing. (laugh) Riding in that ambulance, I felt this simply enormous sense of release.
