One of the most amazing jobs that a person can have is being a writer. Writers are able to put their very imaginations onto paper for the enjoyment of others. Whether it's romance, adventure, coming-of-age, or fantasy, these stories take countless days to create and mere hours to enjoy.
In anime, there are quite a few characters who are writers. Some write novels, some write manga, and others write books called Make-Out Tactics like Jiraiya from Naruto. Whether they write for a hobby, or for work, writers are featured across a number of genres in anime.
