💡 FAQ Frequently Asked Questions at Research Destinations by Island Manga Artist Ira
🏝️ Why Island Manga Artist Ira Insists on Researching and Exploring Inhabited Islands Instead of Uninhabited Ones
I have conducted island research on over 500 inhabited islands across various countries, including literature reviews, real-life landscapes, and conversations with the people living there. This is to create an original story for my international island manga and to archive the actual scenery as videos on YouTube and Instagram. My principle is to share “live data” based on real interviews and dialogues with locals, rather than just introducing tourist spots.
🏝️ Why Singapore Island Frequently Appears in MAHARAJIMA and YouTube (Outside of Japan)
Singapore is the second home for Ira, who was born in Kagoshima. Ira holds permanent residency (PR) in Singapore and lives a multi-base lifestyle between Singapore and Japan. Based on actual living experiences in Singapore, Ira shares ambient sound (ASMR) videos and real local information that transcend language barriers. Ira also contributes to Singapore through volunteer activities.
🏝️ Publication, Serialization, and Commencement of Creative Activities for International Island Manga MAHARAJIMA
We plan to start full-scale operations when the number of subscribers to the official YouTube channel reaches 1,000. Until then, it remains closed information accessible only to those involved in the manga industry. The main plot and characters appear irregularly on this website and Instagram. Personal publishing on AMAZON or a contract with a manga company in Singapore is currently under consideration. Thank you for your support by subscribing to our YouTube channel! Your favorite island may appear soon. Updates are published on the official website a few times a year under “News.” We apologize for the inconvenience and time required, but we would appreciate it if you could browse those as well.
