From the creator of I am Here! and Missions of Love, two of Kodansha Comics' best-selling shojo series! This is a manga about making manga, a subject which is of huge interest to American manga readers. The story has elements of both Genshiken and the super-hot Bakuman, taking a look at the process of manga creation and poking fun at some of the myths and misconceptions attributed to manga creators. Three volumes total. Ages 16 and up.
MEET THE COMIC RELIEF
Kanna Tezuka is a serious 15-year-old manga artist, already being published as a pro. So when she finds out her high school is starting a manga drawing course, even she gets excited. But it's a fiasco! The teacher is useless, and the only other students — three pretty-boy artist wannabes — quickly adopt Kanna as their (unwilling) sensei. But they all have ridiculous delusions about being an artist, and if Kanna can't bring them back down to Earth, she'll never get any work done!
A sharp-witted satire of the manga world from the creator of I Am Here! and Missions of Love!
