Personal Life[edit]
Juan was interested in becoming a mangaka from his childhood. But because of the death of his uncle due to overwork as a manga artist, he gradually lost his interest. The stats show that out 1000 peoples only 15 peoples can live with their manga work. This reality became the fact for him until he met Mukasa in middle school. The desperation in Mukasa's eyes revived Juan's sunk desire for manga. This duo has created many one-shot in their high school days. The one-shot "Falling-Desire" got an honorable mention in Weekly Shōnen Jump 2005. After graduating, they joined the "Yuijoru Jump" and got their first serialization with Mugan-Kyogachi which got canceled after being successful for 2 years. the plot of Sugami-no-baka came from one of their friends who got arrested for the murder of his girlfriend. Mukasa committed suicide in 2013 after the cancellation of his only serialized work Futari no ecchi. Juan left the manga industry and became a pro-assistant for his future aspect.
