Ryo Tatsuki, known for her manga series The Future I Saw, has often drawn comparisons to Bulgaria’s blind mystic “Baba Vanga” due to her strikingly accurate past predictions. Her comic has previously foreshadowed major global events, including the deaths of Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana, as well as the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to reports.
In a 2021 edition of her manga, Tatsuki warned of a devastating event expected to hit Japan on July 5, 2025. This ominous forecast has resurfaced in public consciousness as the date nears — particularly because one of her earlier predictions, published in 1999, had eerily foreseen a “great disaster” in March 2011, the same month a powerful earthquake and tsunami struck Japan, killing thousands and causing a nuclear crisis in Fukushima.
With the predicted date fast approaching, apprehension has spread across social media, with many urging travellers to avoid Japan this summer. The effect has been significant. Travel bookings to Japan have nosedived, especially from nearby regions such as South Korea, Taiwan, and Hong Kong. As per reports, reservations from Hong Kong dropped by 50 per cent compared to the previous year, while bookings for late June and early July fell by as much as 83 per cent.
