#MangaMonday 10 “Tokyo These Days” by Taiyo Matsumoto
Shiozawa is a #Manga editor ‘on the wrong side of fifty’ who quits his job after the magazine he headed was shut down. After a mangaka he worked with dies, he decides to work on one more manga and begins recruiting artists he admires.

Complete with two of three volumes in English (Viz.) The final volume drops in September.
