JITSUROKU - ADACHI MITSURU MONOGATARI Manga
実録 あだち充物語
Released: Author(s): Artist(s): Genre(s):
1982 Adachi Tsutomu Adachi Tsutomu Comedy
This is the tale of how Adachi Mitsuru went from being an assistant
artist on a
weekly manga to the superstar manga-ka we know him to be today. But it’s
told (and written by) Mitsuru’s older brother Tsutomu, who was also an
assistant
artist early on in their careers…
That paragraph is borrowed from MangaFox.
Google is your pal for finding this series.
Well only 2 chapters on the net but it sure is amusing at least to
my simple
mind. Sort of repetitive, though.
This is at the opposite end of the spectrum from "A Drifting Life".

This came out in 1982? Then it was done quite early in his career
Japan has pretty good apprenticeship program for aspiring manga artists and
almost every established artist has assisted while working on their debut
work on the side. Believe it or not, many chose to assist all their life
because they lack story ideas or would much rather have steady paycheck.

Oh I believe it. Look at Hato in Genshiken who is a marvelous
artist but lacks the ability at this point in his development(in the
story) to tell a story. Adachi himself seems to reuse the same basic
plot which is very good a couple of times around.

Adachi may be able to get away with recycling formulas because his books are
intended for certain age group and while some people outgrow his books, new
readers arrive every year.
There are several famous artists that depend on someone to write the
stories. For example, the guy that did Fist of North Star. Obata Takeshi
from Death Note and Bakuman is another example. I do not know how the
royalty is split between the writer and the artist because writing is a much
quicker process and less labor intensive if you are good at it.
If you write your own story, you have a day to plot it out (they call it
"name" in Japan) and rest of the week to do the layout, pencil, and ink if
you are on a weekly deadline. Granted, if you have assistants drawing all
the backgrounds for you then it's possible but you'd be in a perpetual
nightmare if you are not proficient about coming up with ideas. And I have
no ideas how anyone can juggle two weekly serials.
These days the publishers are more tolerant to the meticulous creators and
many titles are serialized irregularly and may not accrue enough page in a
year to be collected into a volume. In contrast, if you are steadily doing
twenty pages a week, you could churn out four or five volumes of collected
work each year. That's how some titles manage to keep going strong after
volume 100.
