I think in a shonen Jump interview years ago Ironically he also randomly inserted a small rant into an actual issue of YYH once about a failed attempt to pitch a Gay sports manga to his publishers in the 80's that they laughed at and turned down apparently the manga would've been called "trouble quartet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, the only thing said was the concept and it was rejected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I'm exaggerating but he was annoyed enough that it got rejected to randomly insert a full page of info about it into an issue of YYH for seemingly no reason what-so-ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naraku360 Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 (edited) Maybe? A lot of manga authors put stuff about rejected works in their "About the author" pages, though, especially for long-running series. It's far from the first I've seen.
