Ryo Tatsuki, a manga artist known for her prophetic comic book The Future I Saw, has sent shockwaves across Asia with a dire warning: a mega tsunami will strike Japan in July 2025. The Japanese illustrator, now popularly called the “New Baba Vanga”, claims the disaster will be caused by an underwater volcanic explosion. Her words—“the sea boils south of Japan in July 2025”—have gone viral, with real-world consequences already unfolding.
Manga meets prophecy
Ryo Tatsuki’s predictions blur the line between fiction and fear
Tatsuki isn’t just any artist. Since the release of her self-published manga The Future I Saw in 1999, she has built a reputation as a clairvoyant who sketches future disasters into comic panels. The book went largely unnoticed until 2011, when events she had reportedly foreseen—like the March 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami—struck with uncanny precision. That same catastrophe led to the Fukushima nuclear meltdown and claimed over 18,000 lives.
Her earlier works also included predictions of the 1995 Kobe earthquake and even the Covid-19 pandemic. She’s credited with foreseeing the deaths of global icons such as Freddie Mercury and Princess Diana.
Over 900,000 copies of her manga have been sold, and the book has also been published in Chinese. Her reputation for accuracy has earned her the title “Japanese Baba Vanga”, a nod to the late Bulgarian mystic known for her prophetic legacy.

“A crack opens up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines”
In a revised edition of her book published in 2021, Tatsuki made an alarming claim about July 2025. She wrote: “The sea boils south of Japan in July 2025 and it will cause a mega tsunami.” According to her, the tsunami will stem from a violent underwater eruption that will hit Japan, Taiwan, and Indonesia. The crack, she says, will appear under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines.
She warned that the waves generated will be three times taller than those of the 2011 tsunami. The predicted location is within a seismically active Pacific region, bounded by Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Northern Mariana Islands.

How is it affecting people?
Travel agencies report surge in cancellations
Tatsuki’s prophecy has not remained confined to book pages. Its ripple effects are now visible in Japan’s tourism sector.
WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, reported a 50% drop in bookings to Japan during the Easter holiday. “People are becoming cautious,” said CN Yuen, the agency’s managing director, in a statement to CNN.
Bookings are expected to drop further over the next two months as the supposed date nears.
How is Japan's government reacting to the predictions?
Governments and scientists weigh in cautiously
In April, the Chinese embassy in Tokyo issued an advisory, urging Chinese nationals to remain vigilant due to “potential natural disasters.” Though the warning didn’t mention Tatsuki by name, its timing aligned with growing anxiety over her July prediction. The South China Morning Post noted that the advisory followed recent seismic activity off Japan’s coast.
Japanese authorities, however, have responded differently. The Japan Meteorological Agency has not issued any special alert for July 2025. Officials stressed that while Japan remains earthquake-prone, there is “no scientific basis for Tatsuki’s claims.”
Nonetheless, some seismologists have pointed out that the area she described isn’t geologically implausible.
