Seishun Shounen Magazine 1978-1983

For Weekly Shounen Magazine's 50th anniversary they asked Makoto Kobayashi, author of What's Michael?, to make short series about his time working on 1, 2 no Sanshiro, his first serialized series, from 1978 through 1983. So that's what this is: a series of anecdotes from Kobayashi about what life was like for him during this time from the good, the bad and especially the friends he managed to make.

It's a short one volume series so I'm going to try and dump the whole thing in one go. If this winds up falling into the archive I'll just make a new thread.

As a bit of a companion there's these two blog posts from the translator about what was going on in the shounen magazines at the time.
