Profession
I received a note to the effect that George Akiyama might have been even busier. Thank you, V Hayashida-sama and Sugaya-sensei. Certainly, George Akiyama's 1970 was really something. I've put things in order using the George Akiyama's Hidden Room site for reference.
In the previous entry's comment column, it was pointed out to me that I'd neglected to mention the 1970s mangaka Shinji Mizushima. Oops... I did, didn't I. So I did some investigating on him. According to ANN, Gary Steinman, the editorial director of ADV's upcoming magazine PiQ, is leaving ADV today. Go! Comi is currently looking for new artists:

Who do you think was the busiest mangaka in the history of Japanese manga (meaning, I suppose, in the history of the entire world)? Tezuka or Ishimori, Yokoyama or Akatsuka or Mizuki? From Del Rey's Editorial Associate Tricia Narwani comes an article talking about his experience with comics:
According to his latest LiveJournal post, Jason Thompson is currently looking for "a manga-influenced artist who would be interested in drawing a graphic novel (or series of graphic novels) with [him] as the writer." Also, from The Star talks to Keiko Tobe about her manga With the Light and autism. Via: MangaBlog
The Reason I Quit My Job as a Manga Editor Epilogue From here on, the contents aren't exclusively related to manga editors, so I'm calling it an epilogue. Ignoring all the ins and outs of the story, if you said I ran away from becoming a manga editor, you'd be right. But I don't think "running away" was really the wrong choice. (Although I did quit my job at the first publisher I worked for as though I were running away, so in a way, I might've spent most of my life running.) Del Rey Manga is currently looking for proposals for "original, manga-style graphic novels" as well as artists who are"proficient at drawing in the manga style." Writers are also encouraged to find an artist partner to work on their ideas. Source: MangaBlog VIZ Media is currently looking for a Senior Editor to oversee its Shojo Beat magazine:
