Earthquakes can’t be predicted. But a manga artist’s dream of a July 5 'megaquake' has spooked some residents and travelers.

Manga artist Ryo Tatsuki wrote in her 2021 work ‘The Future I Saw’ about a crack forming beneath the sea between Japan and the Philippines, which she claimed would trigger a tsunami three times more powerful than the one in 2011.

Despite the lack of scientific evidence supporting the claim, several tourists from East Asia are cancelling or reconsidering their trips to Japan.
