Masaru Miyazaki has written the stories for several biographical manga, including an earlier series about Osamu Tezuka and the creation of his famous manga Black Jack. That manga, Black Jack Sōsaku Hiwa ~Tezuka Osamu no Shigoto-ba Kara~ (The Untold Story: How Tezuka created his "Black Jack"), ended in 2014 after inspiring a live-action television special. Osamu Uoto's and late manga creator Jinpachi Mori's Kasai no Hito (The Family Cultivator) manga has inspired several live-action adaptations.
