Lin: I remember talking extensively with Endo-sensei about making this a cheerful title. ──What kind of title do you think SPY x FAMILY is? With SPY x FAMILY, the reception from the editorial department was so good that its serialization was practically decided before even going into the meeting. For Jump Plus, we circulate each draft around the department and get everyone’s feedback before taking it to the meeting that decides whether it’ll be serialized or not. SPY x FAMILY takes on the strengths of all of those works, so it can be said the series was born from those three titles. He had published three one-shots for Jump Square “Rengoku no Ashe”, “Ishi ni Usubeni, Tetsu ni Hoshi” which was written about Medusa’s child, and “I SPY”. When I told Endo-sensei, he said, “Any editorial department is fine, so let’s work together again.” And so, we slowly started drawing up a plan for a work that would suit Jump Plus. Lin: After finishing TISTA and Gekka Bijin in Jump Square and publishing three one-shots, I was moved to the Jump Plus editorial department. ──What was the process of serializing SPY x FAMILY like? We had such a good time together though that none of it really mattered. We didn’t have a big budget at that time, so it was a really thrifty trip (laughs). Lin: We had a lot of good memories on our trip to New York to gather material for his work, TISTA. ──What is your fondest memory of working together? For example, when I handled Fire Punch by author Tatsuki Fujimoto, I had Endo-sensei come onboard as an assistant, in order to learn from the experience. My involvement with Endo-sensei has also had a positive impact on other authors I work with. Also, his attitude toward manga is very thoughtful and earnest, it’s great. He’s the type to really think through every detail of the plot, so when I propose something crazy in a meeting, he’ll quickly point out any contradictions. In order to improve the quality of his work, he reads many manga, novels, and new books. That hasn’t changed since I first met him. Lin: He’s an author with many preferences. I also was the editor for most of his first serialization, TISTA, although the editor changed partway through. At that point we’d already known each other for more than ten years. Lin: Two years after I joined the company, as we were preparing for the launch of Jump Square. ──When did you become Tatsuya Endo’s editor?
