Tourism to Japan is taking an unexpected hit — not due to weather, political tensions or pandemics, but because of a warning made decades ago by a manga artist.
Ryo Tatsuki, often called the 'Japanese Baba Vanga', has stirred anxiety with a prediction from her 1999 book The Future I Saw, pointing to a major disaster in July 2025. In the book's revised 2021 edition, Tatsuki described a devastating undersea rupture near Japan, triggering tsunamis three times as large as 2011, and even mentioned 'boiling seas' — which some have interpreted as a volcanic eruption.
