- Vol: 1
- 2005
Hideo Azuma is a mangaka with a varied and oft troubled past. Between penning new works for the masses he struggled with alcoholism, homelessness and odd jobs, amongst other things.

add recA Drifting Life and Disappearance Diary are two autobiographical looks at each mangaka's experiences with the manga industry. The tones are quite different - Disappearance Diary is more of a comedy, while A Drifting Life is far more serious and historical; but those interested in the life of a mangaka should look no further. As a note I highly enjoyed A Drifting Life and didn't enjoy Disappearance Diary.
