サルまん 2.0~サルでも描けるまんが教室 2.0~ [Saruman 2.0- Sarudemo Egakeru Manga Kyōshitsu 2.0]

Saruman 2.0 is a one-shot revival of Koji Aihara and Kentaro Takekuma's legendary meta-manga guide, published by Shogakukan in 2017. This single issue updates the original "Saruman" premise—a cynical, how-to-draw-manga classroom—for the modern era, tackling digital tools and contemporary industry absurdities. While brief, it stands as a sharp, self-aware commentary on the craft and business of manga, continuing the tradition of the series' biting humor and insider insight.
