A Manga about the Not-So-Easy Life of a Manga Artist

[May_Lily]

A manga artist by the name of Ichigo Takano posted a short comic on her twitter account depicting life as a manga artist and how tough the career actually is. In the conclusion Ichigo states the following:

If a manga artist misses a chapter, please don't get mad and file a complaint. They didn't miss the deadline out of laziness. They weren't given any leeway, and were drawing as much as they could. Half-completed chapters don't get published.

You can look at the comic pages here but keep in mind it’s written in Japanese: https://twitter.com/ichigo_takano/s...ls-not-so-easy-life-of-a-manga-artist/.149774

I checked it out and while I cannot read Japanese it looks cute. However it's a reminded of how tough it is to work as a manga artist in Japan.
