Manga fans believe that many of Ryo Tatsuki's predictions, which are based on her dreams and featured in her comic book, often come true. Her track record has led to her being called the 'Japanese Baba Vanga', a reference to the late Bulgarian mystic known for foreseeing major global events, including the 9/11 attacks, ISIS's rise, and Barack Obama's election. The latest prediction comes from Tatsuki's 2021 manga. She is also known for forecasting the 1995 Kobe earthquake and the 2011 Tohoku tsunami.

The prediction has since gone viral, especially across East Asia, with thousands of videos being shared online in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, China, and South Korea. On X, several users have linked the prediction to growing fears of a possible Nankai Trough megaquake. In the manga, she describes a crack forming beneath the sea between Japan and the Philippines.

This was the latest in a series of over 1,000 tremors recorded in the region. An official told AFP that residents were asked to move to a school playground on Akuseki Island. Akuseki belongs to the Tokara island group, located south of the Kyushu region. Since June 21, the area has experienced 1,031 earthquakes. Of the 12 islands in the Tokara chain, seven are inhabited, with about 700 people living across them.

In a recent interview, she said people should stay calm and rely on experts instead of her visions. Meanwhile, Ayataka Ebita, director of the earthquake and tsunami observation division at Japan's Meteorological Agency, also responded to the rumours. Japan sits on four major tectonic plates, making it one of the most seismically active places on Earth. Reuters/File Photo He 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.' How predictions have led to dip in tourism The rumour has had an impact on tourism, especially among East Asian visitors. Bloomberg Intelligence reported that bookings from Hong Kong have fallen by 50 per cent compared to 2024, and for the period from late June to early July, the drop is as steep as 83 per cent. While Japan hit a record in April with 3.9 million tourists, the number of visitors in May dropped. Arrivals from Hong Kong fell by 11 per cent year-on-year, according to the most recent data. Steve Huen from Hong Kong-based EGL Tours blamed the fall in numbers on viral social media posts. These posts refer to a manga that mentions a dream about a massive earthquake and tsunami hitting Japan and nearby countries in July 2025. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Japan's megaquake warning that could kill 300,000 Back in April this year, a report by the Japanese government warned of the serious consequences if a major earthquake were to strike the Nankai Trough, an area off Japan's Pacific coast.

Devastating tsunami to hit THESE countries in July, Japanese Baba Vanga makes shocking predictions, major earthquakes in..., countries are...
Japanese Baba Vanga: Ryo Tatsuki, who is also known as the 'Japanese Baba Vanga', is the mysterious Japanese manga artist and alleged clairvoyant. Ryo Tatsuki has made some shocking predictions through her book 'The Future I Saw'. In her book, Ryo predicted several major events years in advance that later came true — such as the 2011 Japan tsunami, waves of global pandemics, earthquakes and fire incidents across Asia. Because of her uncanny ability, her prophecy regarding July 2025 has now sparked global concern. According to Ryo Tatsuki's book, the sea in the southern waters of Japan will begin to boil in July 2025, followed by an underwater volcanic eruption that will trigger a massive tsunami. This event is expected to impact Japan's southern islands, coastal areas of Taiwan, and parts of Indonesia. Tatsuki claims that it could be even more devastating than the 2011 Fukushima tsunami. Thousands of lives could be at risk if adequate preparations are not made. The Prophetic Book That Is in Discussion 'The Future I Saw', published in 1999, was initially considered nothing more than a fantasy. However, after the tsunami that struck Japan in 2011 matched the date mentioned in the book's prediction, it began to be seen as a forewarning. Some notable aspects of this book are as follows: It describes the dates and nature of disasters. It mentions several natural and human-made events. The warnings are presented through art rather than scientific explanations. Decline in Bookings Due to Fear Concern among tourists planning to visit Japan has increased, due to the tsunami warning for July 2025. Bookings at several travel agencies have dropped by up to 50 percent. A decline in bookings was also observed during the Easter holidays. Tourists believe that Ryo Tatsuki's predictions have come true in the past, so caution is considered necessary this time as well.
