  • A day in the life of a Japanese Mangaka aka Manga Creator living in shared house in Tokyo Japan. This is life in Tokyo and life in Japan as an aspiring manga artists living with other mangaka in the same home. Nobi, 25 years old lives in the outskirts of Tokyo. Now living in this unique shared house reserved for only aspiring Manga artists. He lives with 3 other mangaka under this special program called Tokiwaso which provides a living space in addition to support to help develop a manga artist’s career. We follow his daily routine from when he wakes up in the morning in his Japanese home, what his life is like working in Japan as manga artist as well as what he does at night living in Japan. As an aspiring manga artist, his daily schedule varies quite a bit as he has the freedom to dictate his working hours, whether it be spending all his waking moments developing his craft or taking it easy to follow other pursuits. At the end of the day, Nobi knows it’s his personal responsibility to guide his success in becoming a professional mangaka so he puts in the time everyday to create as many opportunities for himself as possible.

I illustrate my own series and sometimes less is more, because it's easy to get way too overwhelmed, when the storyline or the picture is very full or complicated structured. Simple is not bad in any way and also doesn't equal easy. Simplicity oftentimes brings the point across much better too. There are many people who enjoy simple things, when they want to be entertained, especially after a long day of stress.

      @@kawaiipotatoes7888 eh. You could argue that, but reality is that big western corporations have deemed the comic media a high risk low reward investment and will let it die sooner or later. "Being woke" has very little to do with this reality, the decline started since the 2000's. I would argue that the lack of a strong "cash culture" (unlike japan) has done more damage to new artists since we are less likely to buy physical copies or merch.

    As someone who recently got hooked into the world of Manga, it’s cool to see how the artists work. I crack under the pressure of deadlines, but these mangaka handle them like champs. Whether if they’re on time or behind.

    • @ex0duzz
      @ex0duzz Před 2 lety +15

      Handle like champs? Not really.
      Like Nobi said, Mangaka lifestyle is very unhealthy and long hours and low pay usually. Even Mangaka like oda of one piece fame got sick from overworking himself. Such lifestyle is not healthy and in the long run can be very damaging to not just your body but also mind.. Especislly if you're not superfamous and rich
      /talented like oda. For every Oda, there's probably tens or even hundreds of thousands of low paid assistants and unknown and unpaid or low paid aspiring mangaka like Nobi. Just being mangaka is hard enough and u healthy enough on the body, but they even need to get a second job to support their passion of being a mangaka, which adds even more stress and takes away even more time from your deadline which is already hard to meet for many published mangakas of even well known series, even with lots of assistants helping full time.

    mangaka day in a life videos are really fun to watch since u can habe u limited versions of these cause every mangaka is different and it would be nice to see different approaches for the video on how to portray it!

    The fact that we get free 'A day in the life of a Japanese' videos on CZcams by Paolo is truly a gift. 👍👍👍

    Wow! This is almost similar to the life of an Animation artist in India.
    I was pursuing Masters in Animation Cinema, and I met a friend, and he is exactly like Nobi.
    Care-free, sometimes struggling with basic stuff, but hugely talented and gifted artist.
    My friend didn't train as an artist but only took interest after graduating engineering, and within a span of a year became sooo good with anatomy, and has such a unique style too!
    He also does really dark stuff, haha! :D

    Wow isn’t he so healthy for a manga artist. Good homemade food, standing up, and taking walks for physical and mental health.
