Hitman

A manga about a young new manga editor who promises to make a rookie manga artist successful.

This is the new manga by Kouji Seo who famous for romance series such as Fuuka and Suzuka. His previous works were never in a genre that interested me but I’m quite enjoying this one because it’s about making manga.

I really like how Seo uses an easy to understand game-like stats as characters are introduced. The editors are ranked by how many issues they’ve helped sell and the artist have a parameter the shows their strengths. I’m slightly concerned about how it’s beginning to turn into a harem for the male protagonist as the female characters are starting to blur the lines between professional and personal relationships with him. In any case, I’ll have to read more to see if that’s what this series is truly about.
