Virtual New Year’s Party

About 250 people joined us for last night’s “Digital New Year’s Party”—the latest such event of the year. Thank you very much.
Here are the results of our annual “Top 10 News Stories of the Previous Year” feature.
Here’s a photo of Yoshimoto Kogyo Chairman Oosaki with Professor Aoyama, Professor Emeritus at the University of Tokyo, which Professor Aoyama kindly shared with us.
I was especially happy when Dr. Masaru Sugiyama, Director of RIKEN’s Center for Advanced Intelligence Project, told me, “I read your manga!” Apparently, though, he got scolded for reading it during a meeting. Sorry about that~.
Everyone, let’s meet again at our next gathering.
