Congrats to Araki.

When the host inquires about how the manga creator maintains his youthful appearance, he said that he washes his face with Tokyo tap water every morning.


Don't believe him. He has a certain mask.

Not surprising considering the fashion in Jojo.

Although Araki claims to have no real secrets to his youthful appearance
Oh right, it's not a secret that he's a vampire.

Does he have to reinforce everyone's negative opinions about manga-ka generally being disorganized, messy, and unhealthful? Very Happy I just saw NHK World's Imagi-Nation episode about Atsushi Ohkubo's new manga Fire Force (I was really interested because he also drew Soul Eater). The program's hosts commented that his studio was "the neatest manga-ka studio [they] had ever seen!" It was really clean and neat, and Ohkubo looks great (not that he's old, he's only 37!) I'm assuming that his and Araki's anti-aging superpower that makes them look younger than other manga-ka their age is "not smoking!" Seriously, way too many manga and anime artists smoke, and it makes them look much, much older than their biological age.

So are they awarding him on his appearance or his fashion sense in his manga? It wasn't clear to me.
I've never heard of a Best Dresser Award, only a Best Dressed.

I've gotta admit. Araki isn't a bad looking guy considering his age. There are those who have said that he's a vampire or has some strange superpower. I don't know about that. There's a strong possibility that he takes care of himself or he's got some pretty good genetics. I'd say,he's aged pretty well for a man of fifty-six.
