In the December issue of Jump Square, published by Shueisha, two new manga series are featured, offering a mix of romantic comedy and fandom-inspired humor. Today, on November 4th, manga fans will be surprised by the launch of "The Shameless Manga Artist and His Assistants" by Naoya Tajimi and "Crafting Your Passion" by Kyotaro Ando.
"The Shameless Manga Artist and His Assistant" follows the story of Kouki Sakieda, an assistant to the manga artist Akira Akanebe, whom he admires. Sakieda is constantly bewildered by Akanebe’s shameless and persistent flattery, which might just lead him to actually fall for the manga artist. An unexpected romantic proposal from Akanebe further throws Sakieda’s world into chaos. The series debuted with an extensive release of three chapters.
"Crafting Your Passion" delves into the world behind the creation of fan merchandise, exploring the lovable and humorous aspects of being a fan. The story revolves around Daiki Dokoshi, a third-year employee, and Wakaba Tsuie, an eccentric newcomer in the sales planning department of the merchandising company Smile-uke. Tsuie’s unusual idea of an "iron acrylic stand," inspired by the odd desire to protect oneself from sudden outbursts of aggression, sets the stage for a series of amusing interactions. The first installment of this series included two chapters published together.
To celebrate its 16th anniversary, the December issue of Jump Square includes a special B5-sized clear file as a bonus. This folder showcases a fantastic lineup of characters from various ongoing series featured in the magazine, making it a must-have collectible for fans.
