マンガ家さんとアシスタントさんと [Mangaka-san to Ashisutanto-sa / The Comic Artist and His Assistants]

A lighthearted four-panel gag manga from Square Enix (2008–2012), The Comic Artist and His Assistants follows the daily chaos of a manga creator and his two female assistants, blending workplace comedy with affectionate parody of the manga industry. Written and illustrated by Hiroyuki, the series ran for 10 issues, earning a modest cult following for its self-aware humor and character-driven gags. It matters as a charming, insider look at the quirks of professional manga creation, stripped of melodrama and focused on the mundane, funny realities of the job.
