My Take
Born in Roppongi — which is basically Tokyo on hard mode, culturally speaking — and then shipping himself all the way to the University of London to study, Bun'Ō Fujisawa gives off this quietly ambitious energy that I find genuinely compelling. The resume is almost suspiciously sprawling: playwright, screenwriter, manga story writer, director, translator. On paper that sounds like someone who can't commit, but I get the feeling it's actually the opposite — there's one stubborn obsession running underneath all of it, which is building stories and handing them off to whoever can bring them to life. The kind of craftsman you forget to thank because his fingerprints are invisible — until you stop and notice you've been completely absorbed in something he quietly set in motion.
