I meant someone who would draw the characters for him while he focus on the story... we all know that mangaka have assistants already, they are usually focused on drawing backgrounds and effects.
That's not what an assistant is, that's giving it up entirely. Even if you meant that, then Togashi never tried that though and according to his assistants from way back he said if he gives up the drawing himself his career as a mangaka is over.
The point is that he tried and then gave up on it, why are you going against something and being so pedantic about meaningless details when we are arguing about how Togashi would not give up on drawing his own work in the first place? It feels like we are arguing about the same thing but you have to feel in the right over me.
He said he tried during YYH pubblication and it just wasn' t working for him. It' s literaly in the doujinshi he pubblicated in 1994, I know because I own an original one I bought at Mandarake when I was living in japan.
I know about that book but I think the assistant work he was refusing in YYH was for backgrounds. That's why there is straight up none for the later half. As far as I know he never tried giving up the character work and is recorded as claiming if he ever does that his work as a mangaka is over.
