No Roses Without Thorns: My Life As a Shojo Manga Assistant
Bara wa Shuraba de Umareru: 70-nendai Shoujo Manga Assistant Funtouki
Slice of Life
Synopsis
What's it like to be a manga creator's assistant, when she's working on the most popular shojo manga in the country?
The 1970s were a golden age for girls manga, or shojo manga, in Japan – but what was it like to create these pages of roses, sparkles and romance? Manga artist Nami Sasou shares some of the not-so-glamorous stories from the ink-stained battlefield of... cute girls' romance manga? A highschool assistant to Suzue Miuchi, the creator of the famously popular Glass Mask, this manga about making manga tells it like it was... With a decidedly "shojo" point of view!
