"Prophetic" manga series causes tourists to cancel Japan

A gloomy prophecy in a 25-year-old manga series is being pointed out as the reason why vacation bookings to Japan have decreased drastically ahead of the summer, international media reports.

On the cover of the original Japanese book "The Future I Saw" it was stated that a "major disaster" would occur in Japan in March 2011, a date that coincided with the deadly Fukushima accident. Author Ryo Tatsuki claims to have visions in her dreams, and when she published a new edition of the series in 2021, she claimed that the next major disaster awaits Japan on July 5, 2025.

Despite the complete lack of scientific evidence for her claim, it has gained traction on social media, where people are being warned not to travel to Japan. In particular, tourists from South Korea, Taiwan and Hong Kong have cancelled or rescheduled their summer trips to Japan.

Summer fear contributes to differences in skin cancer between women and men

The most common place on the body for skin cancer to develop differs between women and men. This is shown by research from Cancer Research UK, reports The Guardian.

According to the study, four out of ten cases of melanoma in men occur on the back, stomach or chest, while more than a third of women who are affected get it on their hips, legs or feet.

The researchers' theory is that the variations are due to differences in behavior, as men are more likely to spend time in the sun shirtless while women are more likely to wear shorts or skirts when the weather gets warmer.
