Mankoro

Once they sign up, they are suddenly summoned to a mysterious space called the "Manga Colosseum" and forced to participate in a so-called "death game," competing by drawing manga with their lives on the line. As he faces the challenge, Takada begins to rediscover his passion for manga... but can someone who's given up once be able to survive in this game...?
