   JITSUROKU - ADACHI MITSURU MONOGATARI Manga   
   実録 あだち充物語   
   Released:     Author(s):     Artist(s):     Genre(s):   
   1982     Adachi Tsutomu     Adachi Tsutomu     Comedy   
      
   This is the tale of how Adachi Mitsuru went from being an assistant   
   artist on a   
   weekly manga to the superstar manga-ka we know him to be today. But it’s   
   told (and written by) Mitsuru’s older brother Tsutomu, who was also an   
   assistant   
   artist early on in their careers…   
        That paragraph is borrowed from MangaFox.   
        Google is your pal for finding this series.   
      
        Well only 2 chapters on the net but it sure is amusing at least to   
   my simple   
   mind.  Sort of repetitive, though.   
        This is at the opposite end of the spectrum from "A Drifting Life".

   This came out in 1982?  Then it was done quite early in his career   
      
   Japan has pretty good apprenticeship program for aspiring manga artists and   
   almost every established artist has assisted while working on their debut   
   work on the side.  Believe it or not, many chose to assist all their life   
   because they lack story ideas or would much rather have steady paycheck.
