This is a densely packed book meant for teaching people about the ins and outs of the manga industry in Japan from the advice and knowledge of "Dr Mashirito", an editor at Weekly Shonen Jump best known for being Akira Toriyama's editor and working on the Dragon Ball series with him. I think kids and teens interested in creating manga would really like this book, as well as people who want to learn more about the manga industry in general. Panels from "Bakuman", a Jump manga about making manga are used in many of the chapters to illustrate the points he is introducing.

Both a master class in manga and an emotional, nostalgic look back at Akira Toriyama's legacy as one of the most legendary mangakas of all time.
