NHK released Naoki Urasawa's interview with Katsuhiro Otomo. They spoke about his manga Domu, which was a pre-cursor to his seminal work Akira. Fascinating discussion of workflow, influences and high-resolution close-ups of the original work.

Urasawa, if you all are not familiar, is also a master. Monster and 20th Century Boys are routinely ranked near the top of all-time best manga lists. His style of puzzle box storytelling can be frustrating sometimes (who is Friend?! Just tell me!!) but his work is really fantastic.
