Synopsis
Sato Shuho exposes the debt-ridden, unstable reality of manga artists and the industry's uncertain future.
Will manga still exist ten years from now? A publishing recession with no end in sight... combined with new technology and media that is changing everything. In Japan, manga artists find themselves constantly in debt even working hard week after week. What does this spell for the manga industry in the long run? For the sake of the future of manga, Sato Shuho decided to ask himself this very question. "Manga Poverty" is a frightening word. Manga artists work hard during their first week of a new serialization, but no matter how hard they work, they may get their manga canceled halfway through, leaving them with a mountain of debt. This is what causes many manga artists to fade into the shadows, regardless of their talent. Follow as Sato Shuho stands up to the corrupt system of the Japanese manga industry, and find out where his struggle leads him. Anyone interested in manga or publishing must read this book!
