Miura self-portrait from 1998 (Patreon)

Here is a self-portrait Miura drew in 1998. It was used to illustrate an interview about the upcoming Dreamcast game (released in 1999) that was published in Dreamcast magazine at the time. It's not a very extensive interview, and it's shared with the producer and director of the game, but it's on our list of things to translate down the line.

Miura did a number of funny self-portraits over the years to go in place of having his picture taken. A practice not uncommon among mangaka. This one was from his bandanna-wearing days (when he was too busy to get his hair cut, as per Mori's recollection).

As a bonus, here's a picture of some autographed drawings that were available for readers of the magazine through a lottery. A rare sight!
