Visitor interest in Japan plunged in June, amid a prophecy in a manga that predicted a “disaster” would strike Japan in July 2025.
The prediction was in a 2021 reprint of a Japanese comic book, or manga, titled “Watashi ga Mita Mirai, Kanzenban” (which translates to “The Future That I Saw, Complete Edition”) by artist Ryo Tatsuki.
In the original printing of the book in 1999, the cover page referenced a “disaster in March 2011.”
In March 2011, Japan suffered its most powerful earthquake on record, the Great Tohoku Earthquake, which caused almost 20,000 deaths and the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster.
The Amazon listing for the reprint stated that the author had “new prophetic dreams” including the “real disaster will come in July 2025,” according to a Google translation.
