The Comic Artist and His Assistants (Season 1)

The Comic Artist and His Assistants (2014) is a short-form Japanese anime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Mangaka Aito Yuki has a problem: he is terrible at meeting deadlines, mostly because he keeps inventing excuses to bother his long-suffering assistant Ashisu for hands-on "research."

His editor Mihari shows up regularly to threaten termination. The pages get done anyway, somehow. Dry workplace absurdism with ecchi humour — it clicks fast if you are already into slice-of-life anime. Stream The Comic Artist and His Assistants (2014) online on iFILM.
