Kōji Kumeta

Kakushi is a manga artist. His work is not the kind of thing you would share in polite company. When his daughter Hime, is born, he vows to do whatever it takes to keep her from learning about his job. He goes to great lengths to keep his secret, dressing as a salaryman as he leaves the house, only to change into something more comfortable on his way to the office.

Kouji Kumeta's "Kakushigoto: My Dad's secret Ambition" is a light-hearted look at the lengths a father will go to do what he feels is best for his daughter. Whether it's hiding his embarrassing secret, or training for her school's athletic day Even if his actions are a bit over the top at times, One thing can be said for sure, Kakushi loves his daughter Hime and will do whatever it takes to protect her. Even if the things he is protecting her from are all figments of his own imagination.

I enjoyed this manga. As a father I find Kakush's struggle to be very relatable. There are plenty of embarrassing facts about my life that I'd rather my children not know, and I feel that every parent can say the same. We always want something better for them. I think this is an adorable interpretation of the anxieties a parent goes through while trying to give their child the best life they possibly can.… (meer)
