Sinopse:

A talented editor with over 40 million copies of his work will answer your creative worries! Also includes an interview with Morishita Suu and a roundtable discussion with editors.

"Sukitte Ii na yo.", "My Little Monster," "Yubisaki to Koi Koi," "Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki"... This manga editor, who has been producing hit works for about 30 years, answers the best questions sent in by manga artists and aspiring manga artists!

The author, who has held meetings to answer the worries of manga artists such as "Shojo Manga Study Group" and "Manga Consultation Group," will carefully answer the many questions he has received in his long career as an editor, divided into 55 topics, from how to input information, how to create characters and stories, how to brush up on names and manuscripts, how to make a professional debut, and the attitude that a manga artist should have.

The book also features an interview with Morishita Suu (Hibi Butterfly, Shortcake Cake, Yubisaki to Renren), who is a member of Spica Works, a management company for manga artists that the author represents. The book contains thoughts and ideas that resonate with the author's answers (main text), such as how he made his debut as a manga artist, what he keeps in mind when creating, and his relationship with editors.

At the end of the book, there is a roundtable discussion with manga editors. The author, together with Tomizawa Emi (Kodansha/launcher of Chihayafuru, Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju, and others) and Suzuki Kaito (Ichijinsha/responsible for Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku, Senpai ga Uzai Kohai no Hanashi, and others), exchange opinions on a variety of topics, from practical advice for manga artists and aspiring artists to the challenges facing the industry.

From those who have already debuted as manga artists to those who have yet to draw, the book is packed with ultra-practical advice from an active editor on how to cultivate feelings of love and convey them to readers.

It's reassuring to have this at hand...!

This book is a great ally for manga artists.

In fact, it solved the problem I was currently struggling with.

The stories about manga that Suzuki told me when he was in charge of manga were very valuable and I learned a lot from them, and they are all condensed into this book.

I recommend it! ──Anashi

Many manga production books teach you about art and panel layouts, but I think there are few that answer questions about story creation and other problems.

I think it will increase the number of eyes that can see from multiple angles, which is very important for manga production.

I would be happy if there were more great manga in the world. ──Morishita Suu

There are parts where you will nod in agreement and discover that "I see, so this is the perspective that supports story creation."

I think this is a book that will definitely help you draw manga at a higher level if you read it! ──Yamamori Mika

I want all creative people to read this.

This book will sincerely answer your worries about drawing manga.

From those who have not yet made their debut to seasoned professional teachers,
editor Shigeru's secrets are here! ──Robiko
