thanks for translating this, bringed up my interest in Hosono's work a bit (too bad most besides Sasuga no Sarutobi are untranslated). Who's the Yonezawa mentioned here, btw?

No problem, and thank you for being a regular of mine =) By Yonezawa, I mean Yoshihiro Yonezawa. Best known as the founder of Comiket, he was also a very active manga critic, and the bit about manga stagnating at the end of the 70's (though Hosono here strictly is talking about shonen manga) is something he is well known for saying, among other things.
