Hiromu Arakawa is a mangaka best known for her work in the industry, though many fans don't realize she spent years as a farmer. She actually grew up working on her family's farm in Hokkaido, and she was candid enough to turn that experience into manga form with her autobiographical series Hyakushou Kizoku, which chronicles her time doing agricultural work before she became a full-time creator.
