Hirameki Hatsume-chan might be my favorite manga. It's a 4koma about a stay-at-home father trying to make money by inventing things while his wife is the bread-winner of the family.

And his daughter accidentally invented a magic box.

I love that the box is called... Box. There's probably a kanji pun in there somewhere.

Tokyo Ghoul was sorta okay for a bit but the art and storyline have gotten about as incomprehensible as Trigun.

I agree. I think I read up to chapter 50 and then it started having a ton of characters who talked way too much about in-universe mechanics to advance(?) plot and... Well, stuff happens, but it's kind of a stretch to say anything is actually achieved.

Kakukaku Shikajika is an autobiographical manga by the author of Princess Jellyfish. It's a wistful story about growth and regret and how much of a goddamned idiot we all were back when we thought we knew everything.

I am 100% convinced that is actually where his interest lies, and the fighting/cheesecake is there so he can make a living drawing it. Everything he does is utterly cookie-cutter in every respect, except for his Mark Trail interludes. Are we allowed to post amazing panels from series that come with giant neon caveats?

I'm not very interested in art, but the application process and the art teacher were very relatable. It truly is a story about regrets you develop as you grow up.

I couldn't help but tear up when you read about how dedicated to his students that teacher is.

EDIT: I just reached chapter 20. It's so tiresome how she wouldn't tell him that she wanted to draw manga!

This is some well-written stuff. I failed out of art college, and I've been in her shoes. The series has a bitter honesty to it, but keeps a light tone, without falling into simple despair.

Reading this manga was honestly kinda painful, but not in a bad way.

I just read through it as well, and it hit pretty hard in the sense that I feel like I wasted my art school years as well. Kind of hoping it'll motivate me to push a lil' harder as an artist :shobon:

Yeah Kakukaku Shikajika is amazing. Sensei owns. Sensei's cat also owns.

I'm still in the equivalent of her telecom job, but I just launched my first project as a writer, if not as an artist - so hopefully I too will one day be able to lament my wasted youth in paperback form someday.

Well, there's Masashi Kishimoto of Naruto fame and his younger brother Seishi, author of Buster Keel. :v:

But yes, Kuukaku Shikajika is basically like a hilarious, realistic, sarcastic Bakuman. It's great stuff, I read through it all in one go.

That said, the romantic subplot of Mahou Tsukai is a little weird, since it's between what appears to be a twelve-year-old and an eight-foot-tall skull minotaur.
