It actually would have made the relationship seem somewhat balanced if the Gyru WAS actually a little incompetent at her job, but really willing to learn and do well - he'd be inept socially and her professionally, and they could even each other out. Right now, he seems like such a loser compared to her in all aspects aside from somehow having his own manga, which is a curiosity if he can't really draw as well as her either.
The dude doesn't even seem professional about his manga abilities either, as he can't keep his deadlines.
