1,000 quakes jolt Japan's Tokara Islands since June 1, manga sparks panic

In an unprecedented seismic event, more than 1,000 earthquakes have rattled the Tokara Islands in southern Japan over the past two weeks, leaving the residents fearful and prompting evacuation orders. The tremors, including a recent earthquake of 5.5 magnitude have sparked widespread concern, compounded by a viral doomsday prediction from a popular manga artist. Since June 21, the Tokara Islands, a remote and sparsely populated chain south of Kyushu, have been hit by a relentless sequence of earthquakes. The Japan Meteorological Agency reported over 1,000 quakes in the area by early July, with many registering significant magnitudes around 5.5. These tremors have caused prolonged shaking, making it difficult for residents to sleep and raising fears of a larger impending quake. Local authorities have urged residents of Akusekijima, one of the islands- home to about 90 people- to evacuate as a precaution. Evacuations began on July 4, with temporary accommodations arranged in Kagoshima city on the mainland. Despite the intensity and frequency of the quakes, no major injuries or tsunami warnings have been reported so far. Why is Japan prone to earthquakes? Japan is among the most seismically active nations on Earth, located at the intersection of four major tectonic plates along the western edge of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire". With a population of around 125 million, the island nation experiences roughly 1,500 tremors annually and is responsible for nearly 18 per cent of all earthquakes worldwide. The Manga theory: A viral doomsday prediction Adding to the public anxiety is a viral prediction from manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, whose work "The Future I Saw" has gained notoriety for seemingly accurate forecasts of past disasters, including the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. A devastating magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck Japan in 2011, triggering a massive tsunami that claimed nearly 20,000 lives. Many have pointed out that the manga's first edition, published in 1999, appeared to foreshadow the tragedy. Tatsuki's 2021 edition of the manga warns of a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami on July 5, 2025, potentially three times more powerful than the 2011 disaster, triggered by a crack forming beneath the sea between Japan and the Philippines. A manga series has caused concern among certain travellers, leading some to steer clear of Japan. In particular, arrivals from Hong Kong — where speculation around the manga has spread extensively — dropped by 11 per cent in May compared to the same period last year, according to recent figures, Reuters reported. Authorities urge preparedness, dismiss panic The Japan Meteorological Agency continues to monitor the situation closely, but admits that precise earthquake prediction remains impossible. Ayataka Ebita, director of the agency's earthquake and tsunami observation division, has urged residents to prepare for possible further strong quakes, but cautioned against succumbing to unfounded doomsday hype, Reuters reported. "With our current scientific knowledge, it's difficult to predict the exact time, place or scale of an earthquake," Ayataka Ebita said. Japan's government has facilitated evacuations and is reinforcing disaster readiness, especially in vulnerable island communities with limited medical infrastructure.

Volcano eruption, series of earthquakes in Japan: Is manga artist's prediction coming true?

A series of earthquakes near Japan's remote Tokara Islands over the past two weeks, along with a major eruption from a long-dormant volcano earlier this week, has added to growing speculation about a disaster striking Japan on July 5. The rumours are linked to manga artist Ryo Tatsuki's work 'The Future I Saw', where she predicted a tsunami three times stronger than the one in 2011. Her fans claim some of her earlier predictions have already come true read more A combination of images showing the eruption of Mount Shinmoedake this week and a road damaged in Nishiaraya, Ishikawa Prefecture, due to the January 2024 earthquake. Image: X and Reuters/File Photo A series of earthquakes near Japan's remote Tokara Islands, along with a major eruption from a long-dormant volcano, has further fuelled speculation about a disaster striking Japan on July 5. This speculation is partly driven by manga artist Ryo Tatsuki, whose earlier work is believed by many to have predicted the 2011 disaster. She has now suggested that another major event could strike Japan in early July. In her 2021 manga, The Future I Saw, she wrote about a crack forming under the sea between Japan and the Philippines. This, she said, would lead to a tsunami three times stronger than the one in 2011.

But the timing of the events has left some members of the public uneasy, as it matches closely with the widely shared warning from Tatsuki. So, what's happening in Japan? What is the manga artist's prediction, and how credible is it? We answer all the questions below: Series of earthquakes, volcano eruption: What's happening in Japan? Mount Shinmoedake erupted on Thursday, sending a powerful blast into the sky and a thick cloud of ash, making it one of its most intense eruptions in recent years. Japan's Meteorological Agency has warned of falling volcanic rocks and fast-moving flows within about two miles of the volcano. This afternoon: A powerful eruption occurred at Mount Kirishima's Shinmoedake crater at 1:49 PM (local time). Volcanic smoke rose an estimated 5,000 meters into the sky. Ongoing activity continues to be closely monitored.( July 03, 2025) 📍 Shinmoedake, Kyushu, Japan — Weather Monitor (@WeatherMonitors) July 3, 2025 Notably, Mount Shinmoedake, located in the Kirishima range between Kagoshima and Miyazaki prefectures, had last erupted in 2018. It became active again on June 22. Officials have advised people in the area to remain indoors and be ready for emergencies. The explosion covered parts of Miyazaki and Kagoshima in heavy ash. The Meteorological Agency had raised the alert level to three on June 27 after signs of growing volcanic activity were noticed. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Shimizu Hiroshi, head of the monitoring committee, said: 'While this eruption doesn't currently involve new magma, the possibility remains. Close monitoring is essential.' Authorities are keeping a constant watch on the mountain as people stay alert for possible aftershocks. Meanwhile, more than 1,000 earthquakes have been recorded on a small island in southern Japan, leading to evacuations. An official told AFP that people on Akuseki Island were asked to move to a school playground for safety. Akuseki is part of the Tokara island group, located south of the Kyushu region. Since June 21, the area has seen 1,031 quakes. What is the prediction by 'Japanese Baba Vanga'? Fans of manga artist Ryo Tatsuki believe many of her predictions, based on dreams and featured in her comic books, have come true in the past. Because of this, some now call her the 'Japanese Baba Vanga', a nod to the late Bulgarian mystic who was said to have predicted major events like the 9/11 attacks, the rise of ISIS, and Barack Obama's election.

The prediction has gone viral across East Asia. Thousands of videos have been shared online in countries like Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and South Korea. On X, many users have linked this claim to concerns about a potential megaquake in the Nankai Trough. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What authorities and Tatsuki are saying Ryo Tatsuki has asked people not to treat her prediction too seriously. In a recent interview, she said people should stay calm and rely on experts instead of her visions. Seismologists have also rejected any connection between her prediction and recent seismic activity. They say there is no scientific way to predict exactly when, where, or how strong an earthquake will be. Ayataka Ebita, director of the earthquake and tsunami observation division at Japan's Meteorological Agency, told AFP: 'We are aware that such tales are circulating, but that is a hoax.' He added, 'With today's science and technology, it is not possible to predict earthquakes.' The Japan Meteorological Agency also issued a statement online saying: 'Any such predictions should be considered unreliable.' The rumour has still had an impact. Tourism from East Asia has dropped sharply. According to Bloomberg Intelligence, bookings from Hong Kong are down by 50 per cent compared to 2024. Between late June and early July, the fall is as steep as 83 per cent. Japan's megaquake warning that could kill 300,000 In April this year, the Japanese government released a report warning of the devastating effects if a powerful earthquake hits the Nankai Trough, a region off the country's Pacific coast. The report warned of possible losses worth $1.81 trillion and said up to 300,000 people could die if the feared quake were to strike. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Japan faces frequent earthquakes due to its location. Experts say there is an 80 per cent chance of a magnitude 8 to 9 quake in the Nankai Trough. Japan sits on four major tectonic plates, making it one of the most seismically active places on Earth. Reuters/File Photo This undersea trench stretches about 800 kilometres, from Hyuganada near Kyushu to Suruga Bay in central Japan. The country has suffered major disasters in the past, including the March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, which led to the Fukushima nuclear crisis. That 9.0-magnitude quake caused the worst nuclear accident since Chernobyl. Notably, Japan sits at the meeting point of four major tectonic plates, making it one of the world's most earthquake-prone nations. With inputs from agencies
