Day in the Life in a Japanese Manga Artist Shared House

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.

Western comics even becoming more woke lately...sacrifice characters for wokeness. Letting minorities from twitter affect their industry. Japan would follow if this continues.

[@el_presidente]

@@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. My respect for them definitely increased!

[@ex0duzz]

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.

I had forgotten how much I love your vids

[@Wez_art2]

Can't tell u how many times I've watched this video, great content as usual Paolo !

[@Jordan-inJapan]

For some reason, Paolo walking around exploring the shared house like that made me think of the story of Goldilocks and the three bears. “I wonder if anyone’s in this room. I’ll go in and check.” Or, “Oh, that gyudon smells delicious. Nobody would mind if I just took one little bite…”

[@nicetomeetyoutsu]

He’d better not. Hungry manga artists can be aggressive.

[@LoLArbyz]

At first, I thought "His day can't be that entertaining to film" being young, I figured he would just draw all day. Man was I wrong. This was eye opening. Paolo, I love learning new things and expanding my world view through your videos on things that even if I visited Japan I would never get a chance to see. Thank you again.

[@reign77777]

Many of his days are probably like that. I would bet he scheduled his meeting with the friend and the advisor that day to give Paolo more content to film.

[@zamiaramirez1390]

Its actually really important to not get into that it puts you in a rut faster and also its just a really bad habit to pick up especially as a mangs artist. Kishimoto completely ignored his family while working on naruto and it caused a lot of problems and made him want to quit often

[@kittenmimi5326]

Well this is actually the rarer type of mangakas lol he actually gets exercise and goes out and stuff Plus draws standing up...

I like that technique Nobi was using to come up with plot ideas, by mixing and matching random words and concepts. You could get some crazy stories that way!

[@aus-li]

Funny, I try doing that for my own stories, but it never really works out. Although if you're a writer, you try many techniques to come up with something. My go-to is my favorite manga, and use their elements as a reference.

[@eaglenebula2172]

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!

I reqlly love how the mangaka's in this sharehouse have an advisor that regularly checks up on them and provides them with guidance, industry knowledge and general support for their living situation there. Thats so cool.

[@tmmht]

This episode was really enjoyable. Some of the recent ones have felt too much like prolonged adverts for the company rather than about the individual people. This one really returned to that principle. Thanks Paolo!

[@kevinchavez6226]

I think he needs to make money somehow … those types of episodes are alright if we get more episodes like this one

First time watching and getting to see one of your videos!! I absolutely LOVED it !!!!!!!!!!! I would love to see more of this shared house for Mangakas, I have been reading manga since I was 13 and watch anime since I was 7 and I do not know what I thought of being a "Mangaka" was about back then, I always thought they just did it on their own, and that is it, not anymore but this was a great resource of what a new Mangaka in the making do, I really hope more and more guys and girls from Japan can be a great success in their Mangaka pursuing dreams!!! I am subscribing and I want see MORE !!!! Cheers!!!!

[@dylan7809]

Thinking about all the work that goes into this in terms of locating a person good for the video, and trying to get them to do as many entertaining things as possible is just insane. You successfully turned a day in the life of someone who is typically thought of to basically draw all day into a more eye opening and unique cinematic experience. I like your other videos too but your day-in-the-life videos take the cake every time.

As someone who's 25 and really want to learn to draw, I've been debating whether I should even begin learning this late in life. But seeing Nobi who started 6 years ago gave me confidence that it's not too late. ありがとう、ノビーさん

dude, im 30 and i began learning to draw a year ago, and ive actually surprisingly improved a little. You can learn to draw at any age , it just takes practice.

Hey, I started to draw with 24 and 8 years later I'm a full time artist and do this for a living. Many of my colleagues started at a similar age. 25 definitely isn’t too late, no matter what your art goals are. :)

I look forward to each new one and you never disappoint. I'd love to see one with someone new to Japan, living there - what they have had to overcome and what they have discovered. It would be an excellent way to live vicariously since I doubt I'll ever get to see Japan and experience it myself. Please keep making these wonderful video's - I can't express how much I enjoy them! Thanks for all your hard work!

It's really cool to see some younger people working in pursuit of their dream jobs. I'm surprised how dedicated japanese students and young adults are in comparison to what I'm used to here in European countries. And again, love the quality and hard work you put in these videos! It'd be funny to see some bloopers of all those B-roll shots where people need to walk past the camera :D PS: How warm is the weather Japan right now for Nobi to be wearing sandals?? :D
