Japanese Airlines Cancel Flights Over 1990s Manga’s Disaster Prediction

In Japan, a 1999 manga titled Watashi ga Mita Mirai (The Future I Saw), created by artist and writer Ryo Tatsuki, has caused a stir due to its alleged accurate predictions of past disasters. Tatsuki’s book is a compilation of dreams she recorded over the years, and some Japanese believe her visions have come true.

Past Predictions
Tatsuki’s first prediction is said to have foreseen the death of Freddie Mercury in 1991. In 1995, she wrote about dreaming of a massive earthquake in her hometown of Kobe. On January 17, 1995, a 6.9-magnitude earthquake struck Kobe, killing 6,000 people and leaving thousands homeless.

Another notable prediction was her 1991 dream of a major disaster in March 2011. This date coincided with the Great East Japan Earthquake, a 9.1-magnitude quake followed by a tsunami that killed over 16,000 people and left thousands missing.

The July 5, 2025 Prediction
In the 2021 edition of her book, Tatsuki predicts a “major disaster” for July 5, 2025. She claims to have seen “the sea boiling” in southern Japan, which could trigger a volcanic eruption. However, she is unsure if this vision includes an earthquake.

Impact on Airlines
Some airlines have started reducing flights scheduled for July 2025 due to a drop in ticket sales caused by the prediction. However, major carriers like Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways have stated that there has been no significant decline in reservations.

Additional Concerns
The anxiety surrounding Tatsuki’s prediction has been further fueled by feng shui master Qi Xian Yu, who warned of potential disasters and plane crashes in Japan and South Korea in 2025.

Expert Reassurance
Experts emphasize that large earthquakes cannot be predicted and that such rumors lack scientific basis. Japanese authorities are urging the public and tourists not to panic unnecessarily or cancel their travel plans.
