Favela no Mangaka

Hiroto Takei, a manga artist who failed a serialization conference, decided to give up on his dream and went on a heartbreak trip to Brazil to put everything behind him. In a favela (slum) that he happened to wander into, Hiroto met João, a poor boy with a piercing gaze. He lives right on the other side of the world, and to his surprise, he has a dream of becoming a Japanese manga artist! No matter where you live, you don't have to give up. The story of two slum dwellers chasing their dreams begins! (Source: Ichijinsha, translated)
