Hentai Artist Now Doing Manga?!

You'd be surprised. A lot of manga artists continue to dip from both sides of the fence because mainstream manga publishers (Shueisha, et al.) gouge the artists out of most of the profits of their work, making doujinshi and unrelated H manga a breadwinning necessity.



Correct. There's been some confusion about that, because MAGI - one of Akamatsu's former assistants at his studio, and the artist behind the Culittle doujinshi series - has a style very similar to Akamatsu's. This is because mangaka assistants often help out with the inking process, essentially teaching them to draw the same way the mangaka does.



Does it? Well, here's some more food for thought: at least two of his works as Jonokuchi Jouji, Do Your Best and Do Even Better, star a female who is quite obviously the prototype for AzuDai's Tanizaki Yukari.

You're welcome. :)


Another one to add to the list: Hiroe Rei, of Black Lagoon fame, is also an active producer of H doujinshi under the circle name "TEX-MEX".

Everyone is forgetting one of the most well-known: Oh!Great, he writes Tenjou Tengue and Air Gear
