"The Vampire Dies in No Time" is a comedy manga that has been serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion since 2013. Draluc, the weakest vampire who is immortal but dies quickly, Ronald, a vampire hunter, and John the armadillo are set in Shin-Yokohama, a den of perverted vampires and weirdos, and the story follows them punishing vampires or dying. The anime will be released in October 2021. Today, we would like to introduce the author of "The Vampire Dies in No Time", Itaru Bonnoki!
Bonnoki Itaru's career! This year marks the 6th year of serialization!!
His debut was in 2013 at the 80th Bessatsu Shonen Champion Joint Newcomer Manga Award, where he published a one-shot story of "The Vampire Dies in No Time" and won an honorable mention, which was then published in Weekly Shonen Champion issue 30 in 2013. After that, in 2014, he serialized "Marileen's Great Magic Laboratory" in Weekly Shonen Champion, and in 2015, the serialization of "The Vampire Dies in No Time" began in Weekly Shonen Champion issue 30.
What kind of work and style is "The Vampire Dies in No Time" by Bonnoki Itaru?
The story focuses on the fact that vampires have many weaknesses, and is based on the setting of a vampire that dies quickly and the story of punishing troublesome vampires, but the setting is so fluffy that it features disposable characters, and the content is appropriately crazy or not, and it is a very fluffy gag manga with a feeling of doing everything that can be done for now. Because it is fluffy, it seems to have no content, but it is a work that more than makes up for that by attacking with "quantity over quality". It is a work that can be read smoothly with an empty mind because it is a one-shot story.
Bonnoki's reaction when it was decided that "The Vampire Dies in No Time" would be made into an anime
The decision to make an anime was announced in the 205th death of "The Vampire Dies in No Time", and at the same time a popularity vote that will go down in manga history was held. At that time, Draluc and Ronald said, "I can't believe it's going to be made into an anime!!" and "I don't know the details, but I wonder which company messed up." I think the author probably really thought that. However, at this point, it was a popular work that had been serialized for five years, so it wouldn't have been strange if it had been made into an anime.
Sugushinu Sakusya, who came in 4th in the popularity poll
The popularity poll for "The Vampire Dies in No Time" was a hot topic everywhere. This is because it was a lawless popularity poll with no restrictions on one vote per person or characters that could be voted for. In addition to the main characters, you could vote for anything, such as Kamado Tanjiro, Yonezu Kenshi, or Retsu Kaioh, but it was a popularity poll where there was a risk that votes would disappear into subspace due to adult circumstances. For some reason, I said I would make an episode about the character who came in 4th, but the author ended up ranking 4th, so I ended up making an episode about the author.
A Popularity Vote That Causes a Ripple
There was a story that when you vote for a game character, your vote disappears into subspace, but here is a familiar Pokémon. It looks like Coil. Some people may say Coil, but this is due to a commotion regarding a popularity vote that occurred in the past. In a popularity vote for the Pokémon movie, people with free time organized a large number of votes to Coil, making him number one. The thread became a festival, and Coil quickly rose to number one, but as a result of internal maneuvering by the management, he ended up in second place. These commotions became known as the first Coil shock. There was a second one.
Sugushinu Bonnoki is forced to draw his own episode
Since he came in 4th in the popularity poll, he had to draw his own episode, but it seems that it was difficult because he had nothing to draw. Even if he tried to draw the author's daily life, he couldn't talk about himself without talking about himself, such as talking to YouTube ads, talking to curtains, or a moth getting into his room and going crazy with a vacuum cleaner. How to draw manga is to make it while almost dying every week. So, I was dying because I had nothing to draw.
Sugushinu Sakusya, Going to the Proctologist
With nothing to draw, Sugushinu somehow came up with an episode about going to the proctologist. One day, when I looked into the toilet, it was a red ocean. I didn't pay much attention because it didn't hurt, but my former supervisor, Mr. K, who had experienced anal fistula, called me and said, "Go to the proctologist!" Anal fistula is a terrible disease that can turn into two anal holes at worst. The phone was hung up with a voice that sounded like it was coming from the bottom of the valley, and I was filled with the determination to go to the proctologist (sic). As expected, Mr. Bonnoki also didn't want to take the hemorrhoid (G) route.
Undertale (Shimo's Story)
At the proctology clinic, the doctor in charge quickly pours jelly into his asshole and sticks his finger in it. He makes a strange noise. Before he knows it, a picture of his asshole is taken. He tells me that if my hemorrhoids are severe, just putting something in my ass hurts a lot, but I don't think most people have many opportunities to put something in their ass. In the end, Mr. Bonnoki only had a fissure, so there wasn't much of a problem, and he was prescribed an ointment and that was it. After that, he was worried about the smell of his own ass, so he tried to smell the ointment that was injected directly into his ass, but accidentally got it on his face and had to wash his face to death. It must stink. At that time, he suddenly had an idea! This idea might be used in the main story of "The Vampire Dies in No Time!" He consulted with the person in charge, but it was rejected.
What does Bonnoki Itaru do in his private life?

He is on Twitter and posts information. He seems to mainly tweet characters from "The Vampire Dies in No Time". If you just look at the writing, you might think he is a Hajikerist. He sometimes talks about games, and two years ago he reported that FGO was a huge failure, and now he seems to be playing Umapyoi. Horses are... gacha is tough.
【The Vampire Dies in No Time】A Summary of Author, Bonnoki Itaru
I've put together some information about Bonnoki Itaru, the author of "The Vampire Dies in No Time"! This year marks the sixth year of serialization, and the author of this popular work has been decided to be made into an anime. It's interesting how after coming in fourth in a popularity poll, he ended up having to create his own episode! I think it will be even more exciting when the anime airs!
