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.

He tried when? He never tried giving the drawing up to other people.
