When Akatsuka was in junior high school, he was inspired by the manga of Osamu Tezuka and decided to become a manga artist. His goal was to create funny and humorous manga. However, he struggled in an era when sports and adventure manga were popular.
Nevertheless, he broke the rules of manga one after another, saying, "I want to draw manga that no one else has drawn!", and "Tensai Bakabon" became a huge hit. We explore the annual income of Akatsuka, a pioneer of comedy and known as the "King of Gag Manga."
The trailer states, "It seems his life was a series of hardships..."
