With subtitles I would buy that on a DVD or two.
I read a lot of manga about imagined(and real)artists and it would be
good to learn about other styles of creation.
As to real artists and manga about them,
"A Drifting Life" by Yoshihiro Tatsumi is
a lightly fictionalized memoir in manga format running
to 856 pages,8 3/4" x 6 1/2" and 2 inches thick,on good
paper with paper covers.
Then there is Mizuki Sensei recently taken from
us to the abode of whatever. He has a lot of
autobiographical work with a lot of material from the early
Nonnonba into Showa:A History of Japan from 1926-1983
(some calculation errors in translation,obvious to students
of Japanese history and simple arithmetic. But the story of
Japan in the Showa era is definitely part of Mizuki-sensei's autobiography.
KAKUKAKU SHIKAJIKA Manga
かくかくしかじか
Released: Author & Artist Genre(s):
2011 Higashimura Akiko Josei, School Life
This is an autobiography of the mangaka/author, whose real name
is Akiko Hayashi, which begins while she's in her third
year of high school. She does become a very successful mangaka.
Too many fictions to mention and some seem to disappear.

@@@@@
Urasawa is surprisingly well known in America. His stories tend to take
place outside of Japan (such as Monster or Master Keaton) and often has
mystery and science fiction aspects (Pluto). He even did very well when he
tried sports manga (Yawara and Happy!). My one gripe is that he tends to
drag out the stories a bit too much.
