The Comic Artist and His Assistants
On Tokyo MX
A lighthearted, playful slice-of-life comedy about a mangaka and his assistants navigating workplace dynamics through flirtation and fantasy, built on affection rather than conflict.
The life of an artist can be hard: Long, arduous hours working with only your thoughts and assistants to keep you company. In the case of overworked mangaka Aito, his attempts to merge the two are so far unsuccessful. His priorities are askew and subjecting his assistants to his fantasies has taken precedent over work. Despite his abuse of power, his assistants are willing to play along. Thankfully, editor Mihari is there to keep him in line, from threatening to fire him to physical punishment.
