King of Editors Henshuu Ou Hensyuo? by Tsuchida Seiki 土田世紀 Serialized in Big Comic Originally 15 volumes, but the SB edition may be fewer volumes If you can read Japanese, here’s a wiki page about it. I think there may be a drama based on it called “Hensyuo” that aired on Fuji TV in 2000, but no torrents exist. If you can get a hold of this show somehow, email me!
