Manga Poverty
A chronicle of manga artist Shuho Sato’s struggle with trying to live off of manga artist wages and his decision to leave print publishers and start his own digital distribution manga website.
Super fascinating and informative read. Sato doesn’t not shy away from his bitter experiences dealing with publishers and how it effected his opinions on the manga industry. Great book and the only shame is that the English version doesn’t come with a manga introduction that was in the original Japanese version.
This is available for purchase on the amazon kindle store and we discussed this with Deb Aoki on a recent podcast.
