Toyoda (Love Roma) launched the manga in Shogakukan’s Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine in November 2021. The series is also available on Sunday Webry. What’s more, the eighth volume shipped on October 10, 2025.

Lastly, here’s an overview of Kore Kaite Shine, via MyAnimeList:

Ai Yasumi, a first-year high school student living on Izu-Oshima, loves manga more than anything. When she learns that her long-admired, yet long-inactive, favorite manga artist Hoshi no Rei will be exhibiting at COMITIA, she sets off on a journey to Tokyo.

What she doesn’t expect, however, is that a fateful encounter at the event will change her life forever.

“How does one become a manga artist?” Ai steps into the world of manga creation—a path she thought she understood, yet knows so little about. This is the story of a girl taking her first steps down the road to becoming a mangaka.
