Manga artist Hiroyuki announced that he will oversee the production of a new manga magazine titled Comic Gear, in which authors will all work in the same studio. This level of interaction between manga-ka is virtually unheard of in the industry. Hiroyuki hopes that the environment will encourage collaboration between fellow manga creators, and foster new talent by allowing more experienced artists to mentor newer and unpublished artists.

The debut issue of Comic Gear will include over 90 pages of a new series by Hiroyuki. The magazine is currently accepting applications from manga creators that want to be pubished.

Hiroyuki is best known for creating Dojin Work. Dojin Work focuses on a group of doujinshi artists. Hiroyuki's latest work, Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to, revolves around the relationship between a professional manga artist and her assistant.

Media Blasters currently holds the rights to the Dojin Work manga and anime, and distributes both in North America.
