''Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to'' (Or just simply '''''The Comic Artist and hisHis Assistants''''') is a gag manga about a mangaka named Aito Yuuki and his long suffering female assistant Ashisu Sahoto as the two try to make their deadlines and keep his manga afloat. The thing is though, Aito is a ''huge'' pervert and more often then not his libido prevents him from doing his work properly, forcing Ashisu and Yuuki's editor, Otosuna Mihari to try and keep his mind on task. [[Hilarity Ensues]] as a result.

{{tropelist}}
----
This manga provides the following tropes:
 
* [[Abuse Is Okay When It Is Female On Male]]: Lampshaded in one chapter when Aito's new student is absolutely horrified and terrified by Otosuna beating the crap out of Aito. Otosuna basically tries to use this trope as her excuse and to assure said student that ''she'd'' never be beaten.
* [[A -Cup Angst]]: Both Ashisu and Otosuna are highly concerned about it during the shower scene with Rinna.
** Otosuna moreso than Ashisu. It doesn't help that she is easily the flattest of the three.
*** Also doesn't help that Aito unintentionally reminds her from time to time.
Line 15 ⟶ 13:
* [[Bad Liar]]: Aito will often, if not always, lie with a [[Suspiciously Specific Denial]]. In which it will immediately get shot down.
* [[Beleaguered Assistant]]: Ashisu
* [[Beady -Eyed Loser]]: Meisei
* [[Bishonen]]: Probably not a complete bishonen but, as pointed out in Tamako's introduction chapter, Aito actually does have above average looks, but its his personality that's holding him back. This might explain why the girls are willing to put up with him... okay, not really.
* [[Bunny Ears Lawyer]]: To an extent. Aito may be an absolute pervert, but Ashisu and Otosuna both begrudgingly admit they like his manga.
Line 23 ⟶ 21:
** It's also been shown that Aito is actually brilliant when he has the right motivation, managing to create a second manga with consistently high popularity (burning himself out in the process) when he thought that maintaining his popularity would allow him to create his own harem.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: '''Aito''', do you really need to ask any more?
* [[Captain Ersatz]]: Aito's manga is part of a whole sub-genre of panty fanservice manga, but it bears the most resemblance to ''Ichigo 100%'' (a scene Aito's drawing of a boy asking the girl he likes to lift her skirt and show him her panties is drawn almost identically to a similar scene in the other manga). Whether this is a [[Shout -Out]] or a [[Take That]] isn't quite clear.
* [[Chivalrous Pervert]]: Aito's probably the biggest pervert you'll ever know/read about(even to the point of making a manga based on his perversion) but even he knows when to draw the line.
* [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Ashisu
Line 29 ⟶ 27:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: Ashisu is often this in her thoughts.
* [[Dope Slap]]: Otosuna to Aito if not a [[Megaton Punch]].
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Aoi, which combined with his [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|sexuality]], made for some confusing times with Aito.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Meisei seems to have developed a crush on Aito... either that or he's ''really'' starved for friendship.
* [[Gag Series]]
Line 36 ⟶ 34:
** [[Genre Savvy]]: The other 5% though, he can be surprisingly sharp. The best example is when he correctly predicted [[Tsundere|how Mihari would give him Valentines chocolate]], ''word for word''.
* [[Harem Seeker]]: Aito, not like he'll have luck getting one.
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Tsurameki. The chapters in which he appears are [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|appropriately named such.]]
* [[Ho Yay]]: Aito and [[Dude Looks Like a Lady|A]][[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar|o]][[If ItsIt's You ItsIt's Okay|i]]. Meisei too, as noted above.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]: Any time Aito calls someone out for being perverted. [http://www.mangafox.com/manga/mangaka_san_to_assistant_san_to/v03/c035.5/1.html For example].
* [[I'm Taking Her Home Withwith Me]]: Aito wants to take Minano home but [[Go Through Me|Ashisu doesn't let that happen.]]
* [[Keet]]: Aito
* [[Large Ham]]: Aito again, specifically when [[Serious Business|panties are involved]].
Line 56 ⟶ 54:
* [[Shameless Self Promoter]]: Literally. Aito goes out in the streets in one chapter to shamelessly promote his manga's first volume by [[It Makes Sense in Context|passing out free panties.]]
* [[Ship Tease]]: Despite the fact that Aito is surrounded by girls all the time, ship tease is somewhat rare. Aito/{{spoiler|Mihari}} gets this the most though. [[Fan Girl|Rinna]] probably comes in second, and Sena has had a moment or two as well. And then there's [[Ho Yay|Aito/Aoi]] and [[Foe Yay|Aito/Meisei]].
* [[StraightInvisible Gayto Gaydar]]: Aoi
* [[Stupid Sexy Flanders]]: Aito, beyond all reasoning and logic, almost got convinced marry Aoi.
* [[Sugar and Ice Girl]]: Ashisu
