The short anthology MANGA Day to Day is a collection of reflections by 109 manga artists on how the onset of the coronavirus pandemic quickly changed daily life as we know it.
The artists collectively inked the first 100 days of the unremitting health crisis in Japan, beginning in April 2020.

The project started after Kodansha Ltd. began publishing a similar series of stories and essays by 100 writers on its literary website in May last year.
