I forget how involved Hiro is with this sequel beyond storyboarding. I already know he's a joke in the eyes of the online manga fan community as a whole (and I won't pretend I don't see why), and people are already bashing on Edens Zero even though it's some of the most solid stuff he's written in years (plus, two whole chapters have gone by without Shiki saying the word "friend" over 20 times; looks like Rebecca really put him in his place). But for the people whose problems with FT lie solely with Hiro's writing, then maybe this will gain some more traction depending on how involved he is, because I like Atsuo from the work I've seen him do.
