• ... that Kuzushiro sometimes worked through the night as a manga assistant while she was a university student? Source: Animate Times ただ、大学生のときに週刊連載の現場にアシスタントに行かせてもらったんです...私は通いでしたが、基本泊まりでした。徹夜することもあって、ヘロヘロになりながら。[However, when I was a university student, I was given the opportunity to work as an assistant on a weekly serialized manga... I commuted, but generally, I stayed overnight. There were times where I’d pull all-nighters, and I’d end up completely exhausted.]
  • ALT1: ... that Kuzushiro, a manga artist, often begins drawing storyboards before completing her character designs? Source: Animate times キャラクターデザインを固めきらないままネームを描き始めて「このキャラクターはきっとこんな人だろう」と考えながら作画をすることが多いですね。[I often start drawing storyboards before I’ve fully finalized the character designs, and then draw the artwork while thinking, "This character is probably someone like this."]

• Interesting: - I think this is the only issue. Staying up late to do work is more interesting when she had to do it at the office, otherwise, I think we've all pulled allnighters at one point in our lives. Same for for the latter. If the first were changed to reflect that its not at her own living it might be better? Or perhaps a quote how she likes to be represented as a "represented in photographs by a large stuffed animal" or "described herself as naturally "gloomy", which she felt is reflected to an extent in her works. She tries to remain mindful of this and avoid emphasizing this tendency too strongly."? As the article states, she likes that the artists uniqueness show up in their works, maybe choosing one of these might be the more interesting options here.

QPQ: Done.

Overall: It all seems like a strong article that passes all the QPQ and GA material we look for. I think my only issue is the DYK seem a bit dry. While I don't think we have to use my suggestions, I would suggest something with a bit more of a spark to get someone's attention. Andrzejbanas (talk) 19:02, 12 August 2026 (UTC)

• Thanks for the review! While working overnight at a job might not be that unusual, I found doing it while being a university student to be quite surprising. Perhaps to emphasize that she did it at the office, there's ALT0a: that as a university student and manga assistant, Kuzushiro sometimes stayed overnight at her workplace while helping produce a weekly series? If that doesn't work, I'm open to taking another look at potential hook options like you mentioned. Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 18:02, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

  @Andrzejbanas: Ping since the previous one didn't go through, sorry. Crestfalling (talk/contribs) 18:03, 15 August 2026 (UTC)

Hi @Crestfalling:! I believe option ALT0a works! I believe everything that is required has been done for this DYJ nom. Great work on this and other articles! Andrzejbanas (talk) 03:13, 18 August 2026 (UTC)
