Pandaman was not only used in a chapter of the manga but would later return as a recurring cameo character in Oda's own works.

Enni Amanda is a graphic designer moonlighting as a rom-com author, or maybe it's the other way around. In 2006, she and her husband moved from Finland to New Zealand and fell in love with the gorgeous islands and their laid-back people. They spent eight years traveling between the two rather inconveniently located countries, studying filmmaking and running a film festival.

These days, she lives in the Waikato, close to the rolling hills of the Shire, raising two cute, rambunctious boys while writing aw
