The Man Without Talent

(from amazon.jp):

**" I, a mangaka who has come to a standstill, may appear to others to be a good-for nothing. I work poorly and earn little, even my wife and children curse me, and I spend my days in idleness, indulging in bizarre fantasies..."**

This is a work which depicts the agonizing daily life of a worthless mangaka.
