Akemi Matsunae, who has left her mark on the world of girls' manga, has finally published a autobiographical comic essay! From her childhood when she first became familiar with manga, to her assistant period to renowned manga artist Yukari Ichijou, to her spectacular debut the legendary Ririka (and its sudden closure), to her transfer to another to Bouquet where she'd become a flagship contributor. Throughout her career she established her own style and created the masterpiece “Junjo Crazy Fruits”. Experience the valuable behind the scenes stories of Akemi Matsunae's career and the manga scene of the 1980's!
A sequel to the previous work "Akemi Matsunae's Shojo Manga Road," which chronicled her own life! This work is an unabashed autobiographic depiction of Akemi's life, focusing mainly on events in her 30s and 40s that she was unable to fully depict in the first instalment. The book is a comprehensive look at Akemi's life as a manga artist, from paying off the loan on her 150 million yen home purchased during the bubble era, life after her first hit series Junjou Crazy Fruits, her freelance days after she quit her exclusive contract and was constantly pressed by deadlines, to the drawing techniques for her many beautiful illustrations!
