Ryo Tatsuki published The Future I Saw in 1999 and completed it in 2011. The manga recounts the author's dreams, in which she supposedly sees future events in great detail.
Her followers claim that she predicted the deaths of Lady Di, Freddie Mercury, and the COVID-19 pandemic. This gave her a reputation as a prophet, even though many criticize her predictions for being vague.
The popularity of the work has grown over the years, especially due to the supposed accuracy of certain passages. The comic strip has a strong following in East Asia, where it generates both devotion and skepticism.
In times of uncertainty, many cling to any sign. Tatsuki's manga has reignited the debate between science and popular beliefs.
Japan is located in the Ring of Fire, an area of high seismic and volcanic activity. Authorities had already warned about the risk of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough.
In January, the Japanese government mentioned that there is an 80% probability of a major earthquake in the next 30 years. However, seismologists clarify that there is no way to predict the exact date.
A comic strip published more than two decades ago sparked fear in Japan. On social media, many claim that it predicted global tragedies and now warns about a possible natural disaster.
The predictions of The Future I Saw by mangaka Ryo Tatsuki are causing massive travel cancellations and concern throughout East Asia.
In one of the most discussed panels, the author depicts herself dreaming of a submarine collapse between Japan and the Philippines. The scene describes a super tsunami with volcanic activity for July 2025.
This image caused such a stir that tourist bookings dropped by as much as 50% in the indicated areas. The fear went viral on social media, especially in Mainland China, Hong Kong, Thailand, and Vietnam.
Travel agencies and airlines had to adjust their rates in response to the wave of cancellations. Many tourists chose to avoid Japan during the months highlighted by the comic strip.
The areas most affected by the drop in bookings are those mentioned in the manga. Warnings and videos are circulating on social media, reinforcing the collective alarm.
