New Baba Vanga's 5 July tsunami prediction come true? 900 earthquakes strike Japan's Tokara Islands
According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, while no major damage has been reported yet, the sheer number of tremors is highly unusual and could be a warning of something bigger to come.
Did Ryo Tatsuki's Prediction About Japan Come True?
Ryo Tatsuki, a former manga artist often referred to as the New Baba Vanga, shocked the world with her terrifying prediction of a major natural disaster in Japan on 5 July. She mentioned it in her 2021 manga titled 'The Future I Saw'. In the manga, Tatsuki warned of a crack in the ocean floor and a massive tsunami that would hit Japan, three times higher than usual.
With over 900 earthquakes recently recorded in the Tokara Islands, many now believe that this Baba Vanga-style prediction might not have been fiction after all.
Unusual Earthquake Strikes in the Tokara Islands
The Tokara Islands, a small group of 12 islands located between Japan's mainland and Okinawa, have been experiencing constant tremors for the past two weeks. The US Geological Survey (USGS) even recorded a 5.6 magnitude earthquake in the region on Wednesday.
Since 21 June, the Japan Meteorological Agency has confirmed over 900 earthquakes in the area, with magnitudes ranging between 1.5 to 5.6. Most of these were minor, but the frequency has raised alarm among both experts and the public. Read more on Baba Vanga's prediction
Local Residents Living in Constant Fear
More than 600 residents live on the Tokara Islands, and they're growing increasingly anxious. Many say they haven't slept properly since the tremors began. The remote location of these islands means emergency response teams take over six hours to reach, adding to the fear and uncertainty.
While no official explanation has been provided for this sudden surge in quakes, experts suggest it could be linked to undersea volcanic activity. A similar case occurred near Iwo Jima two years ago, when an underwater volcano created a brand new island.
Baba Vanga's Prophecies Resurface
The original Baba Vanga, a blind Bulgarian mystic, made numerous predictions that reportedly came true — from the 9/11 attacks to the tsunami in Asia, and even the collapse of the Soviet Union. She also warned of a dramatic increase in natural disasters in the 21st century, especially in countries like Japan and Indonesia.
Now, New Baba Vanga Ryo Tatsuki seems to be following the same path, with her prediction about 5 July stirring deep concern among Japanese citizens.
Is Japan Prepared for a Bigger Disaster?
Although earthquakes are common in Japan, the current seismic activity around the Tokara Islands is far from normal. The Japan Meteorological Agency has ruled out a tsunami threat for now but has advised locals to stay alert for falling rocks and landslides.
The agency also stated that there's no scientific proof supporting Ryo Tatsuki's prediction, but the timing of these earthquakes is making people uneasy, especially after the viral circulation of her manga's prophecy.
What's Next for Japan?
As the situation unfolds, the big question remains: Was the July 5 prediction by the New Baba Vanga just a coincidence, or is Japan on the edge of a larger catastrophe? With more than 900 earthquakes already shaking the Tokara Islands, it's hard for locals to ignore the fear.
Whether or not Ryo Tatsuki's prophecy turns out to be true, one thing is certain — Japan must stay on high alert as nature continues to show signs of unrest.

Why Japanese Students Clean Their Schools: A Lesson In Responsibility
Japanese School Students: In Japan, it is a common practice for students to clean their own schools - from sweeping classrooms to scrubbing toilets. This might surprise many, especially in countries where janitors typically handle all cleaning duties. But in Japan, cleaning is much more than just a chore - it is a powerful lesson in responsibility, discipline, and respect. All the schools in Japan have a classroom duties system or "Toban Katsudo" in Japanese for conducting activities in school life without any issues. While activities can vary from school to school, the most typical example would be cleaning duties where students clean classrooms and other areas. 1. Cleanliness As A Value Japanese culture places a strong emphasis on cleanliness - not just physically, but morally and spiritually. Shintoism, one of the country's native religions, sees cleanliness as a form of purity. 2. Instilling Responsibility From a Young Age Letting students clean their environment helps create a sense of responsibility, ownership and accountability which helps them become a better person as they grow. 3. No Janitors in Many Schools Many schools in Japan have no janitors, the teacher and students work together, at least once a day, fostering teamwork and mutual respect. 4. Building Life Skills and Character Cleaning is not just about tidiness. It teaches life skills like time management, cooperation, humility, and perseverance. They learn the value of hard work and dignity by doing even the small tasks. 5. A Lesson That Stays for Life Habits and practices learned as a kid or during your school time stays with you and influences behavior. The practice instills respect for shared spaces, awareness of community roles, and pride in keeping surroundings clean. The Japanese system of student-led cleaning helps shape responsible and respectful citizens. In an age where the world is surrounded with chaos, it can learn something from this simple yet powerful practice.

'I have always approached autism through a spiritual lens'
I have always approached autism through a spiritual lens. In my view, autistic individuals are not broken or lacking—they are highly evolved souls, old spirits who carry within them a treasure trove of unconditional love and pure emotion, untouched by the manipulations of ego. In a world obsessed with name, fame, and external success, they remind us of what truly matters. They are not driven by the relentless pursuit of achievement. Their thirst has already been quenched. Instead, they offer us a different kind of wealth—deep sensitivity, unwavering focus, and communication rooted in sincerity rather than strategy. These are not deficits; they are spiritual gifts. Messengers of Unconditional Love In times where hostility and division seem to dominate, autistic individuals arrive as messengers of unconditional love. Their detachment from social façades, their resistance to superficiality, and their deep pull toward authenticity suggest an alignment with inner truth—a resonance with the divine. One striking example is Naoki Higashida, a Japanese author who also communicates through assistive technology. His book The Reason I Jump, written at age 13, offers profound insight into the inner world of someone with autism. His reflections on empathy, time, and sensory overload carry an almost meditative awareness. Naoki's work challenges neurotypical assumptions and opens a portal into the soul of someone who sees the world in profoundly spiritual ways. A Parent's Sacred Journey As a mother to two boys on the spectrum and as a therapist, I've been a close witness to this purity. Their emotional transparency, honesty, and intuitive understanding of integrity often mirror the values extolled in our spiritual paths. Their sensitivities and heightened awareness bring to mind saints and sages—like Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa—who lived in deep attunement with subtle realms of existence. In our home, for instance, one of my sons refuses to lie, even in the smallest of ways. At times, it creates social awkwardness—but it is also a daily lesson in moral courage. His insistence on truth, no matter the consequence, reminds me how much spiritual strength lies in authenticity. The Chosen Path of the Soul Many spiritual traditions teach that souls choose their lives before birth. From this perspective, I believe that autistic individuals have intentionally chosen their path—not for punishment, but as a sacred offering. Perhaps they have come to teach others the deeper lessons of patience, acceptance, and boundless love—especially to those chosen to be their caregivers. This idea finds resonance in the story of Temple Grandin, one of the most well-known autistic voices in the world. As a professor of animal science and a celebrated author, Grandin has long spoken about her sensory sensitivity as a gift that allows her to connect with animals in unique ways. Her life journey illustrates how autism, far from being a limitation, can be a key to unlocking extraordinary understanding. We Must Learn Too Personally, I believe I have grown into a better human being precisely because God entrusted me with the role of mother to these two angels. I have seen other parents, weary and disheartened, express frustration that their children do not learn as expected. In such moments, I gently ask: "But have you learned anything from them?" The response is often a blank stare, a hesitant smile, or silence. It is as if the possibility had never occurred to them. And therein lies the tragedy—not in what the child lacks, but in what we fail to see, hear, and understand. Autistic individuals may be seen as different, but perhaps it is we who need to evolve. In them, the divine has whispered a powerful message—one of presence, purity, and profound love. All we need to do is listen. Autism – A Spiritual Reflection Unlocking the mysteries of an autistic mind is akin to delving into the works of Rabindranath Tagore—profound, intricate, and seemingly infinite. Yet, for those who develop the patience and appetite to truly understand, both offer a transformative experience—an elixir of life and philosophy that nourishes the soul. Autistic individuals often behave in ways that challenge our conventional understanding of communication, social interaction, and sensory processing. These behaviours, often repetitive or intensely focused, are too quickly dismissed as "odd" or "abnormal." Society, in its haste to conform, labels them as misfits—incapable of achieving success by typical standards. In doing so, we fail to do what perhaps matters most as mature human beings: to OWL—Observe, Wait, and Learn—from the silent language they so earnestly offer. Learning to Listen Beyond Words Many autistic individuals are non-verbal or minimally verbal. Yet, their communication, though unconventional, is deeply profound. Through gestures, behaviours, and fragmented speech, they convey truths that are often more direct, unfiltered, and impactful than spoken words. To hear them, however, one must develop not just the ability to listen, but what I call a "third ear"—the heart's ear, akin to the third eye that perceives the invisible. It is through this heartful listening that one begins to hear the soul's voice. Consider the case of Ido Kedar, a non-verbal autistic young man from California. For years, he was assumed to have limited cognitive ability—until he was taught to communicate using a letter board. What followed stunned everyone. Ido began composing essays, poetry, and even published a memoir, Ido in Autismland, that dismantled decades of misconceptions. His story shows how, once given the right tools and the patience to be heard, an autistic voice can resound with clarity, depth, and intellect.

Manga Comics Viral Japan Earthquake Prediction – Did It Come True? Japanese Weather Agency Clarifies…
Japan Earthquake: An earthquake of magnitude 5.4 struck islands in southwestern Japan on Saturday. The Japan Meteorological Agency informed that the quake hit the Tokara island chain early morning at a depth of about 19 kilometers, and added that no tsunami warning was issued. The news agency IANS reported, citing Japanese media outlet Kyodo News, that the Japanese weather agency has warned that strong earthquakes are expected to continue for some time. It added that the quakes could lead to collapses of houses and landslides. Is Japan Earthquake Prone? Japan is one of the most earthquake-prone countries in the world. It also accounts for about 18 percent of the world's seismic activity. The nation is situated at the convergence of four major tectonic plates along the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'. It is home to around 125 million people, and the country experiences nearly 1,500 earthquakes annually. However, the spotlight returns to a viral manga prediction that appeared to foresee the disaster well in advance. Viral Manga Prediction A prediction from 'The Future I Saw', a 1999 manga by Japanese artist Ryo Tatsuki, about a major disaster occurring in July, specifically on a Saturday, has been circulating widely on social media. Several X users cited the prediction made in the book regarding a disaster that Japan would witness in July. Japanese Weather Agency's Clarification Japan's weather agency clarified that the earthquake had no link to a disaster prediction made by the Manga that had gone viral on social media. As per IANS, an official of the agency, Ayataka Ebita, while addressing a press conference in Tokyo, said that the current science cannot accurately predict earthquakes, and any event that seems to align with the manga author's prediction is 'coincidental'. "It is absolutely a coincidence. There is no causal connection. In Japan, earthquakes can happen at any time. Please be prepared always," said the official. Precautions Before Earthquake On Friday morning, residents of the village of Toshima on Akusekijima, part of the Tokara island chain in Kagoshima prefecture, left by ship, heading to the city of Kagoshima. The residents are expected to stay in temporary accommodation in the city. An earthquake of magnitude 5.5 rattled the Tokara island chain on Thursday, following over 1,000 felt tremors in the area in nearly two weeks, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. Following the quake, local authorities in Toshima, consisting of seven inhabited islands and five uninhabited ones, pledged to evacuate residents willing to leave Akusekijima.
