Naoki Urasaw is the manga artist that created award winning manga series like Monster and Pluto. He was also ranked 07th in the recent Oricon Poll: Japan’s Favorite Manga Artist.

I think that is just awesome Urasawa is helping out to develop more talents for the industry by sharing his own experiences through teaching.

Maybe this guest lecturer program might catch on and we will get to see more established artists and seiyuus coming back to teach the new generations.
