Roles behind mangaka and story of single father mangaka raising his daughter #Funkytown

Looking for something like
Okay, so in ts Post I will be dividing this into like 3 parts.

First will be about How mangas are created i.e roles Behind it. And second segment, i am tryna do The anime recommendation about the title is, that is kakushiGoto.
And third segment will be a game Or a new concept Which i will do as a stand alone thing.

Firstly, the reason why im including "making of manga" is due to how connected this series kakushiGoto Is to Mangas.

Its a series about Mangaka Who Is trying to Continue with his manga and finish it while hiding it from his own daughter.


Now moving On towards first segment about how mangas are created

first Segment (Roles behind manga being created)
-> Mangaka:- okay so this, I used to think mangas are Cmpletely Made by mangakas But that's not it. Like let's take Example of One frame man for this sector of mangaka.

So OPM manga (remake) actually had two Different people who Wrote the story and one who illustrated it.

The one who illustrated it was Yusuke Murata for the series. So he was one of mangaka too. (And Btw TS guy Murata continuesly Remakes Story like 2 billion times so I dont like him alot but he has crazy good Art 😻)

Some examples where Mangaka did both illustration And Writing is ,Oda writer of one piece (ain't gonna call it mid today 💔) and
Akira toriyama creator of dragon Ball

-> Then Inside role of mangaka , there is also role of seperate writers of story.
(This rarely happens in Japanese media btw. Unlike western comics Japanese mangas are kinda illustrated And written by one person which is also Distinct quality of Japanese manga).


Such as these writers who writes mangas are called gensakusha

For exmple, like I told earlier, OPM manga Was illustrated by Yusuke Murata BUT its writer is Different so here role of gensakusha comes in play.
Other examples is Prob death note , bakuman which was made by two Diff. people ( writer:- tsugumi Ohba) . And also Oshi no ko (gensakusha :- mengo yo)
Okay, and Eventually i used to be Very confused about ts too but wtvr Past is past 😹✌🏻

-> assistants Of mangaka :- I actually knew about this role way before. Because of a certain Reason which im not gonna tell 🥹

Okay That ••• aside, Assistants of mangaka are mainly Artists helping the Mangaka such as in outlines of stuff Such as weapon designs, inking, sketching or any bs like that.
One of example where I understood this j*b from is Sket dance.

Gintama is My fav anime (funfact for nothing) and It's Mangaka Soracchi had Assistant named Kenta shinohara. Who Assisted gintama in making but then Became Mangaka of sket dance.

Btw all assistant are not ALWAYS superior to Mangaka like professionals can be hired for stuff Mangaka can't do on a temp. Basis.

Example of another assistant mangaka is obviously Oda (creator of one piece of you are living under a rock). He Worked as assistant In roruni kenshin before making one piece. And also fujimoto (creator of CSM) worked as Assistant in spy x fam.

-> Editor:- now about TS, these were also stereotyped as joke In Anime which im gonna talm about lmao

Ts confused me buncha lot Cuz I thought Mangaka were Free to make whatever they make.
But yk Money 🤑🤑🤑 hungry Stuff always comes in clutch lmaolmao.

So basically As the name suggest they Edit the story. I.E they Read The story While Mangaka is making it And suggest Changes such as Pacing issues, Characters, designs. Meaning most of stuff about Pacing and other stuff are influenced by them instead of mangaka itself.

Now the Editors are sent By companies like kodansha.
And here's main problem About Mangaka freedom arise.

Editors put huge binding of One chapter per week and Writing of manga according to higher demand instead of better quality and Eventually ruining pacing and This eventually Mostly happens in shonen jump.
That's why most Of Seinen {they are also bind with editors but in Less Extremes} Have better pacing and Post every once a month and provide Quality of a story and manga Making it unique.

And now about some other roles which are In studio :-

-> Letterer :- so there are some bubbles and stuff Which has the words written on it. And these also required Different Staff for it (they are also globally interchanged to Different translations).
And they aren't jus Calligrraphers they have to take in mind about stufffss suc h as How Text tones are and that it doesnt Effect th Art.

But these stuffs are done digitally now but in culture of Japan it was done by hand.

And i think these are also Called type setters.

Now onto role which publish manga and stuff concerng economy and stuf (I was not gonna include em But they also do work so wtvr?)


-> Shops Which print manga i mean obviously, if you are gonna go for commercials scale. Printing Is needed so People who own these shops Print manga for publishing depending whether they are coloured or no.
-> Distributers :- another obvious af Role. They are the ones Who distribute the manga towards buyers so im not gonna say too much about commercial roles.

Now sadly fist segment has ended 😿 so lEs Move towards the second segment ( i hope i explained the roles Behind manga well.. ig I tried to).

SECOND SEGMENT :- Recommendation of a hidden gem.
Okay so now Im gonna talk about one of my fav gag humor anime called kakushiGoto

Okay first of all , a bit about its background. It was Written By same author As Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (one of best Gag humor anime. And Also made by shaft studio with Extremely unique Depressing humor.

But this anime.. Wasn't exactly Total gag like zetsubou Sensiei. It was also about grief and loss
A form of grief and loss mixed along humor.

Now about The story, The father who is a single father tries to Give his best to Daughter whom he loves the most in his life but also Hides his profession to her.
And the reason why He hides his profession is because he draws Adult humor mangas.

It Has a form of Mystery alongside it which comes in end of episodes after 17 minutes of gag and Wholesome comedy.
Having a very great voice cast. Mc gotou is Voice acted by Hiroshi kamiya (VA of Levi, Saiki.k and Mc of noragami) and Hiroshi kamiya is one of most talented VA. And gotou's daughter hime is voice acted by same VA of Emilia, megumin to match the cute voicing.

This is a prob very simple wholesome Story as it may seem. But to me or to many other people it being along the corruption And Stereotypes which happen behind the manga industry.

The value of promises, the value of secrets, The value of A Relationship Between father and daughter. I mean it eventually made me dive deeper into roles Behind people making manga lmao.

It doesn't really have to complicate Anything In it, and yet still give a feel of melancholic in its writing and Enjoyablity to see Hime learning things and goto's Workplace life.

Gnly recommending to everyone looking for something which Is Comedy , SOL and Depressing.

Some other stuff about it tho:-

-> Number of episodes :- 12

-> Genres :- childcare, gag humor, otaku culture.

-> studio:- Ajia-do

-> similar animes to it:- :- usagi drop, barakamon and zetsubou Sensi

-> MAL rating :- 7.99

-> my personal Rating :- 9.6/10

Now some Other themes which this anime contain which (might? (Bracket inside bracket cuz im drunk af ngl)) peek your instrst :-

-> It had summer type of feeling I mean i look forward to them alot of times... Idk I may be wierd.
-> wholesome gag humor
-> workplace setting
-> This is a hidden gem. YES this is most important thimg for me.
-> without fanservice (there was in one scene but 😭 its like without it ngl)
-> one of most Satisssfyinh ending
-> Self Acceptance and Learning from mistakes. Learning to grow from regrets. (Some haibane ranmei type shi lmao).
-> and obviously teaches you something, makes you laugh, makes you cry in a span of 4 hours.** JS go for it.**

THIRD SEGMENT :- concept / game For people who actually Made it this far.
Okay I thought alot about TS As its hard to make these game concepts without making them cringe.

But since the post was about manga. Im gonna start new concept today (which im prob gonna continue later on if I make manga related posts).

The rules of the game (if anyone is playing) are :-

-> I will give 5 writers

-> You guys will have to Put one of thier strengths and one Of thier weakness.

-> and by combinining one strength and one weakness By each Mangaka and you have to make thier worst and best Anime.

Like take for E.g i give writers of CSM, DS, jjk, Gintama and tokyo ghoul.

So , basically I will name weakness of each of these such as. CSM being bad ending, and strength of its memorable characters. Gintama strength comedy, weakness none. Tokyo ghoul being Good art, Weakness :- slow Competition. Etc for jjk and DS

And then by combinining 3 weakness and 3 strengths of each Writer you have to make one single anime

-> and lastly Name which Currently existing anime is it closest to. Like for mine Is probably Beezleblub the anime.

so for today's game

Mangaka and thier Respective works:-

1. Oda (one piece)

2. Fujimoto (Chainsaw man )

3. Araki (JoJos)

4. Kubo (Bleach)

5. Kishimoto (Naruto)

Now if you are here yet, name 1 Weakness and 1 strength of each writers and then combine 3 weakness 3 strengths of these and make one single anime. #LetsGetFunky
