Misumi is really really childish, i really wanna know what the hell happened to make her grown like that.

Finally, something that talks about this struggle, as a mangaka myself 🥺


It's hard to make manga that you love but won't sell.

Creativity vs saleability, the eternal art dilemma.
Thank you for the translation!

Man, the rage in her eyes on page 29, fantastic.

I'm curious what's up with Yanai's attitude. Beer-spashed bro is saying Yanai's reputation is based on solely picking what sells without consideration of artistic merit or expression, but the whole first half of the chapter is Yanai encouraging the new dude to be creative and getting a huge, amateurish whiff on the proposal in the editorial meeting. Is he overcompensating for his past reputation and now messing up by going too far in the other direction?

Kodansha will release a print edition of Manga Lover in English in Spring 2027!!!!
Though the announcement says nothing about it, I guess we'll also see it in K Manga.
