Roughs and Rights – Détails, épisodes et analyse

We’re two manga industry professionals based in Tokyo — one an experienced editor from Germany, the other a newly appointed editor with 20 years in international licensing. Through this channel, we share what’s really happening on the ground in Japan: the trends, the thinking behind the works, and the cultural context that often doesn’t travel overseas. In each episode, we focus on a specific genre, highlighting key titles while exploring their potential for international licensing and global audiences.
