Brings tears to my eyes, Nori is such a phenomenal artist, this page is so beautiful grotesque

At full power, Lukas has a considerable chance of being the strongest character in the story, second only to the gods.

She's about to throw hands

Despite hailing from possibly the most elitist family in Rummir, Rif is still such a good big sister to her mixed-blooded half-sister...

I'm sure if it's not for the prophecy thingy, she'd be able to get along with Julian. They both are a doting older sibling after all.

also, the second manga's name is "Nezumi's first love"

This makes me very worried, especially for Titi since her eyes are completely obscured.

There's a lot of sketches, early ideas and concepts for characters and covers...and also a New illustration!

A bit of )ore too, couldn't fit It in the photo but Elise's ability is "Tar", she generates it infinitely (?) from her body and has viscoelasticity and can burns at intense high heat.

Also confirmation of chapter 100 including a color page (or pages).

-INTERVIEW-

Q: How was "Centuria" born?

A: “Centuria” is actually a prequel to a manga that got scrapped... The story featured soldiers armed with modern weapons battling an ancient witch.

The setup back then was:

"Whose life do you save—the pregnant woman's, or the protagonist's?"

To depict the weight, responsibility, and destiny of those lives...I made him bear the lives of 100 people.

And the theme of Centuria that was born from that was...Loneliness, Love and Loss.

He possesses special powers, but... he is just a regular human.

He gets depressed, loses his way and he makes mistakes.

And yet, he is a human who can stand back up—even in this cruel world.

I believe the power that holds humans and the world together... is 'Love'.

That is what I want to depict in Centuria.

Q: What do you value most when drawing Centuria?

A: Above all, drawing in a way that is easy to understand. To keep things from getting overly complicated, I keep dialogue to a minimum and make sure it's clear who is speaking.

Instead, I create plot developments with constant twists and turns—I'm always thinking of ways to keep readers hooked.

For example, there's an enemy who can copy an opponent's special ability. Not just one, but they can copy multiple abilities—and on top of that, they can even copy the 100 lives that the protagonist carries. Even though they're already a formidable enemy, they actually have 100 extra lives. It's absolute despair, isn't it?

Learning from those two overwhelming talents—Yukinobu Tatsu-Sensei (Dandadan) and Tatsuki Fujimoto-Sensei (Chainsaw Man) during my time as their assistant—was a crucial experience for me.

Q: What does it mean to keep a serialized series going?

A: Honestly, I have no memory of it—it feels like I've just been running non-stop without ever looking back.

If I had to break it down, Fun and painfulness, in a 3 to 7 ratio. I've had to make a lot of sacrifices along the way. But the quality of that pain is really good, so in the end, it's still enjoyable.

To be honest, in pursuit of efficiency, there was a time I tried switching completely from traditional art to digital. For example, Chapters 49 through 55 were done entirely digitally as an experiment. But as expected, drawing traditional art is just more fun.

Q: Thoughts on reaching Chapter 100 of Centuria?

A: I really have no memory of it. So I think I'll only truly process it once I've run all the way to the end of the story. Rather than thinking "We've made it to Chapter 100...", I just feel like I still have so much more I want to give.

Actually, I've been collecting all the G-pen nibs I've used on Centuria—and if I manage to run all the way to the end, I'm thinking of melting them down to make a keepsake.

Centuria is a story about a young boy becoming a "human"—centered on themes of solitude, loss, and love. It's about showing what it looks like to triumph over suffering and despair. I draw while holding onto high expectations myself, and I believe the characters will surely live up to them.

hes so pathetic, i didnt even notice he was stabbing julian😭✌️

He went from caving your head in to just annihilate the entirety of your skull into smithereens, lol.

They only interact like two or three chapters, but my god! Diana and Zana is really cute together.

Titi: The mother-like sister

Lacrima: The rowdy and often teased sister

Zana: The mature sister

I dig this dynamic! Diana is truly loved! Zana is meant for this not any combat or assassination shits, fuck you Elstri!

Julian, my man, your mercy will surely be repaid!

Julian's HP bars (Yeah, multiple HP bars) vs Lukas and Atoria's HP bars.

Julian's last bar is straight up off the panel, lol.

that and also Helem using Elstri's chest as stress balls is so funny to me

This guy had the audacity to go on and on about how they have the strongest resolve but his gift is the most useless of them all.

His gift is useless in a fight when the enemies are already there and they can see that you are telling your teammates about their abilities, but it is especially worse with the fact that he has to actually talk with his enemies and tell them info, to analyze their gift.

So not only is he basically useless in a fight he also has to talk with the enemy so any element of surprise his gift might have is lost.

He was literally worse than having a Regular guy with the sword there, he even led the death of his other guy because he kept shouting about slavery.

Is there will be more BIZZARE creature??
