Assistante mangaka - le blog #1

A charming peek behind the scenes of manga creation, this first volume from Riichi Kasai follows the lively world of a manga assistant — and the cover sets the playful tone perfectly, showing a young female character sprawled out while drawing, ink pen in hand, with a cheerful duck nuzzling up beside her and whimsical mushrooms dotting the scene. Published in 2013 by Dargaud as part of their "Made In" line of French-edition manga, it promises a lighthearted, blog-style look at the day-to-day life behind the panels. If you've ever wondered what goes on at the drawing desk when the spotlight isn't on the lead artist, this delightful series is a wonderfully inviting place to start.
