From Mangascreener: Nawoki Karasawa is one of the longer-active and more prestigious names in the typically small time, lesser-known world of gag manga. In a genre where art skill is second to just about everything else, Karasawa's dialogue is hilariously sharp and witty. A gag parody of Shinji Mizushima's immortal 'Mangaka Zankoku Monogatari' (Karasawa's title only differs by adding 'cho' [super] to 'zankoku'), a manga about the dreams, ambitions and suffering of a group of bright young mangaka, Karasawa brilliantly takes the piss out of just about everything involved with being a mangaka. It's lewd, raunchy, endlessly cynical and laugh-out-loud funny. Originally published in Ikki and the Big Comic Spirits special issue 'Casual' from 2000 to 2003, it was collected into a single book in 2005.
