Interview with the artist “Wannyanpuu” and making of “Ugoira!” The particulars behind the creator’s craftsmanship.
A girl moves in between the two boys
- The first volume of “Satsubatsu Share Life” has been released but is there anything you would like to share about the serialization start?
Previously “Aozora Girai no Usotsuki Semiko” was published by pixiv Comics and it’s now completed. I was worried about where to go with my next series when I was introduced by my manager to the original author of “Satsubatsu Share Life,” Bouta Uokai.
- How do you go about the production?
Bouta created the world, and I did as I pleased with the movement and feeling of the characters. Bouta thinks of the dialogue but told me that when it’s needed, I can change the outline of the story and this made drawing very easy.
Actually, in the third chapter, the Nine-Tailed-Fox landlord character was not originally set to appear. But I was wondering “How can I place a girl into this series!” and thought it was impossible but was allowed to place her in later (lol).

I thought it was better to insert a girl between the two boys, to showcase their differences.
- How do you establish the individual traits of the characters?
I received the original story and character images and expanded on those.
▲ From chapter 3 of “Satsubatsu Share Life,” Fuji has collapsed due to his lack of blood, and Sakiguchi is ignorant about his vampirism.
From the serialization in the initial drafts, both Sakiguchi and Fuji were easy to get down, and only the landlord had to be drawn over many times.
▲ From chapter 4 of “Satsubatsu Share Life”, Fuji and Sakiguchi cold response has caused their landlord to burst into tears
Just drawing the two boys is exciting, but a girl’s hair and clothes can be drawn in more fun ways, right?
- The story in chapter 6 suddenly turned dark and there was the faint tone of seriousness that was surprising.
There seems to have been a dark atmosphere from start of “Satsubatsu Share Life.” However, after the first meeting with Bouta, we decided on a heart-warming atmosphere for the start, and then we would bring the dark mood in. Since the characters were drawn in a regular air, later on the serious shift would make the series life-like.
▲From chapter 6 of “Satsubatsu Share Life” the heartwarming atmosphere took a dark development
And so actually, chapter 6 returned us to the original feeling we had planned to go with.
- I see. In other words we can expect an expansion of the seriousness right in subsequent chapters, right? Please tell us about upcoming highlights to “Satsubatsu Share Life,” please!
Of course it’ll be the comedy act between the characters. Since they’re unique (lol.)
At first glance, even though Sakiguchi is the remarkable opposite of a girl, and Fuji seems like a brat who is always speaking ill, when their female landlord is around, they can show a chivalrous side.
▲”From chapter 1 of “Satsubatsu Share House” Fuji and his catastrophic sense of style
As the story advances, it is my hope that readers will see the whole story for what it is, and I would be happy if you can enjoy the dialogue and unique story (which I personally didn’t expect) involving these two characters!
- Thank you very much!
