I don't think I've ever read one of his manga even as far as the point where he dropped it.
I still can't believe he ended Emanon with an ugly bastard
>>285184271This is the sort of oldschool otaku who still lives in a small, messy apartment and has worked part time at the same konbini for 50 years occasionally supplementing his disastrously low income with a bit of manga.
>>285184271>>285184000And Im completely sure the guy has a happier and more satisfactory live that someone like Togashi that ruined his health for overworking to the point fans stopped worrying and just talk about his health as a meme.
>>285184000I think the only author more based would be that one that had an harem IRL. Can't remember his name right now, just that a bunch of female mangaka of his generation were his lovers at some point
>>285184000His style has changed quite a bit in the last 30 years. Though he loves his competent and lazy women in swimsuits. His power as a background artist can't be dismissed either. He's super good. And yeah, Gainax tried to peer pressure him into a director, but he couldn't be assed.Also 3 SAN VN never ever.
>>285184548I think that describes a fair number of "well-known but not ultra-famous" mangaka who are from that generation. Crazy that you can live off a comfy part-time job and coast in one of the largest cities in the world.
BIG
>>285185508Did ZUN draw that character on the left?
>>285184801It wasn't overwork. He's just a retard.
>>285184000he's a legend
>>285186417that's akai takami, creator of princess maker
>>285184271Love me some cozy scifi
>>285184000I always confuse this guy with the Children of the sea mangaka (the one who appeared on a Manben episode) because I imagine both are pretty chill.
>>285185515my gf's dad had one semi-hit series in Shonen Jump back in the day and it was enough to buy two houses in Tokyo and retire off of (it's a series nobody except old japanese men and some people in the industry would remember)Tokyo was pretty affordable but still. Japan supported its mangaka in a way few other countries did their artists
