00:00Japan holds its breath as a decades-old manga, The Future I Saw by Ryo Tatsuki resurfaces with

00:13a chilling prophecy. A devastating earthquake and tsunami striking on July 5, 2025. Originally

00:20published in 1999 and reissued in 2021, this mysterious graphic diary appears to have foretold

00:27the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. And now it ominously marks July 5, 2025 as the date

00:35of another catastrophic event, sparking mass alarm across the nation.

00:45After the Tohoku disaster struck in March 2011, a cover entry from her manga reading, Disaster

00:51in March 2011 turned prophecy into reality. As the updated edition warns of an underwater

00:58rupture in the Philippine Sea, triggering a tsunami three times the height of 2011, many cannot

01:05dismiss it as a fiction.

01:09Fears intensified this July as seismic swamps rocked the Tohoku Islands. Over 900 tremors

01:19since June, culminating in a strong magnitude 5.5 quack on June 2. This wave of activity

01:27overlaps alarmingly with the prophecy date.

01:36Panic is hitting Japan's economy. April still saw a post-pandemic high of 3.9 million tourists,

01:43but maze arrivals from Hong Kong fell 11 percent year on year.

01:48Airlines from Greater Bay and Hong Kong Airlines slashed flights amid booking collapses, some reports

01:53noting up to an 83 percent drop. Local prefectures like Dottori and Tokushima witness nearly 50 percent

02:01lesser bookings from Asia.

02:08Authorities are fighting fear with facts. The Japan Meteorological Agency emphasizes earthquake prediction

02:15is scientifically impossible. Miyagi Prefecture Governor Yoshihiro Murai denounces the rumors as

02:23unscientific and damaging to tourism. Experts like Robert Geller and Naoya Sekia urged that

02:30preparedness, not prophecy, should guide public policy.

02:35A sky-perfect JSAT survey found about 49 percent of Japanese aged 15 to 69 had heard of manga's

02:47prophecy, particularly among women and youth. Meanwhile, many have mocked the hype. If she's

02:54right about this one, I'll believe her. Otherwise, she can take a hike, commented one skeptical reader.

03:00In response, Japan is renewing disaster readiness plans.

03:10Measures announced this week include faster embankment construction, robust evacuation sites,

03:16and community drills. Yet a decade-old strategy still only reduces deck toll projections by 20 percent,

03:23not the hoped 80 percent.

03:30Only time will tell. But with the countdown to July 5 underway, the world watches. Is it destiny

03:37or mere coincidence? Japanese citizens are stocking supplies, travelers are hesitating, and emergency

03:45systems are primed.
