Famous Japanese Manga Were Born On These Desks

Famous Japanese Manga Were Born On These Desks

Our desks say a lot about our work — and a lot about us. Let’s have a look at the desks and tables of many of Japan’s biggest manga artists. These are the birthplaces of some of your favourite manga — and anime.

Below, you’ll see photos of each artist’s desk — as well as one of their notable works. Many of these artists have multiple notable works, so feel free to point that out in the comments section.

The desk in the top photo belongs to Mayu Shinjo of Sensual Phrase fame. Very chic! Some of the desks below are anything but.

(Note that that there are a few replica desks, so you’ll have to imagine the real deal!)
