In an age of viral rumors, online mystics, and sudden global reactions, it takes something truly extraordinary to make thousands of people cancel their travel plans overnight. Yet that’s exactly what’s happening right now, as concern grows over a prediction from a Japanese manga artist that has many on edge.
The story begins with Ryo Tatsuki — a quiet but widely followed illustrator whose predictions have been drawing comparisons to the late Bulgarian clairvoyant Baba Vanga. Known for her manga series The Future I Saw, Tatsuki has issued a chilling warning: a massive tsunami is set to strike Japan on July 5, 2025. Her claim has triggered an astonishing global response, with travel bookings to Japan plummeting by over 80% in some regions.
