   	Have you read the article by/about the Mangaka?  How the   
   publishers squeezed him financially as the work he did became   
   live action movies.  By the way I have seen some of those   
   live action movies.  Only the title Hello Blackjack was translated   
   so it was pretty hard to follow.   
      
   	If you have not yet read the mangaka's plaints   
     then your writing is bootless.
