Manga[edit]
Written and illustrated by Seiki Tsuchida , Henshū Ō was serialized in Shogakukan's seinen manga magazine Weekly Big Comic Spirits from 1993 to 1997.[1] Shogakukan collected its chapters in sixteen tankōbon volumes, released from May 30, 1994,[2] to December 19, 1997.[3]
Drama[edit]
An 11-episode television drama adaptation was broadcast on Fuji TV from October 10 to December 19, 2000.[4]
Reception[edit]
Writer Frederik L. Schodt reviewed the series in his book Dreamland Japan: Writings on Modern Manga. Schodt noted that, while in reality, manga editors rarely get credit; "may even be hated by those they help", the series portrays them in a "highly sympathetic light." He also highlighted the use of "melodrama, comedy, and gags to spice up its somewhat informational approach", and praised Tsuchida's realistic artwork, adding as well that the series is "a wonderful way to learn about terminology and slang in the giant manga subculture," noting how Tsuchida provided footnotes for terms used by editors in the manga process.[5] Writer and translator Marc Bernabé praised the series as well, and in comparing it to other works about manga creation, like Bakuman, which "romanticizes the creation of manga and forget, to a certain extent, the most sordid parts", Henshū Ō, on the other hand, invites to reflect about "what commercial manga is and how it should be or not be" in a "crude and curiously realistic way."[6]
Manga artist Etsuko Mizusawa named Henshū Ō as one of their influences.[7]
