OWV’s Honda Kosuke: “Mangas are my advisers” “They make me stronger”

Honda Kosuke (27) of the boy group OWV attended the awards ceremony “6th Everyone’s choice TSUTAYA comic prize” taking place in the capital on the 21st.

Honda’s group OWV was formed by 4 former trainees of the audition program “PRODUCE 101 JAPAN”. Manga loving Honda said “I like sports manga, action and sci-fi and read those. Like I read ebooks while taking a bath on days I don't feel well or on my free days. It keeps me going.”

Furthermore, he passionately stated “There are a lot of scenes in mangas that have helped me. I feel they are reassuring, or rather the best advisers and they make me stronger.”

The award went to the manga ‘Yamada-kun to Lv999 no Koi o Suru’. Honda shared his thoughts as “Since it was nominated last year, too, I started to pay attention to it and read it. I felt the gap between reality and the game world was modern.”

In addition, in front of the Yoshimoto Kyogo comedians that also attended, Honda said “As everyone here is my senior, I am a bit nervous.” To this Kuki Kaidan’s Mizukawa Katamari mumbled “It would be better to let go of this perception.”
