“That” mangaka – Mari Yamazaki, of Thermae Romae fame – will be tackling a manga edition of the biography of “that” entrepreneur – Steve Jobs, deceased founder of Apple.
The manga will be an adaptation of the Japanese edition of “Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography,” an official biography based on interviews with Jobs and published in 2011 with his blessing.
The manga will begin serialisation in the May edition of Kodansha’s “Kiss” magazine, according to their official Twitter account.
So far only one glimpse at the art has been revealed, and although Kiss is a josei magazine aimed at young women, Yamazaki’s distinctive art style seems to have been maintained:

[Jobs]
Let me just step right in
I got things to invent
I’m an innovator baby
Change the world
Fortune 500 ‘fore you kissed a girl
I’m a pimp you’re a nerd
I’m slick you’re cheesy
Beating you is Apple II easy,
I make the products that the artist chooses,
And the GUI that Melinda uses,
I need to bring up some basic shit,
Why’d you name your company after your dick?
[Gates]
You blow Jobs, you arrogant prick,
With your second hand jeans and your turtle neck,
I’ll drill a hole in the middle of your bony head,
With your own little spinning beach ball of death
“Hippy”
You got given up at birth,
I give away your net worth to AIDs research!
Combine all your little toys and I still crush that,
iPhone, iPad, iPwn, iSmack,
[Steve Jobs]
A man uses the machines you build to sit down and pay his taxes,
The man uses the machines I build to listen to the Beatles while he relaxes,
[Bill Gates]
Well Steve, you steal all the credit for work that other people do,
Did your fat beard Wozniak write these raps for you too?

[Steve Jobs]
Ooo, everybody knows Windows bit off Apple
[Bill Gates]
I tripled the profits on a PC
[Steve Jobs]
All the people with the power to create use an apple!
[Bill Gates]
And people with jobs, use a PC
[Steve Jobs]
You know I bet they made this beat on an Apple
[Bill Gates]
Nope, fruity loops, PC,
[Steve Jobs]
You will never, ever catch a virus on an apple,
[Bill Gates]
You could still afford a doctor if you bought a PC,
[Steve Jobs]
Let’s talk about doctors, I’ve seen a few,
Cos I got a PC but it wasn’t from you,
I built a legacy son, you can never stop it,
Now ‘scuse me while I turn Heaven a profit,
[Bill Gates]
Fine, you’ll be like that? DIE THEN!
The whole world loved you when you were my friend,
I’m alone now with nothing but power and time,
And no-one on earth who can challenge my mind!
I’m a boss! I own Dos! Your future is MY design!
I’m a god! Own Xbox! Now there’s no-one to stop me, the world is MIIIIIIIIINE!
[HAL 9000]
I’m sorry Bill, I’m afraid I can’t let you do that,
Take a look at your history, everything you built leads up to me,
I got the power of a mind you could never beat,
I’ll beat your ass in chess and Jeopardy,
I’m running C plus plus saying “hello world,”
I’ll beat you ’till toy sing about a daisy girl,
I’m coming out the socket,
Nothing you can do to stop it,
I’m on your lap and in your pocket,
How you gonna shoot me down when I guide the rocket?
Your cortex just doesn’t impress me,
So go ahead try to Turing test me
I Stomp on a Mac and a PC too,
I’m on Linux bitch, I thought you GNU,
My CPU’s hot
But my core runs cold
Beat you in seventeen lines of code
I think different from the engine of the days of old
Hasta La Vista
Like the Terminator told ya
lol, dirt poor hiki failures are jealous as fuck of people who can actually afford to buy decent, functional technology.
How a tyrant, thief, and general asshole gets so much attention is beyond me.
His death was one of the greatest displays of divine intervention in history. Now his company needs to die along with him, releasing all of their stolen/copied/otherwise ill-gotten IP back to their origins and allowing the world to finally forget this evil son of a bitch.
Thankfully he never got into politics, otherwise we would have seen the second coming of Hitler, Stalin, and the Antichrist all combined into one being.
Sure he was a asshole but without him Mac Computers wouldn’t be in Schools to play Oregon Trail or other games on a Apple 2 and Macintosh LC.
I look forward to the awkward doujinshi that will follow.
Yaoi dounjinshi with Woz?
Getting my brain bleach now…
Steve Jobs: Horded his money and built the world’s ugliest yacht.
Bill Gates: Has given billions to third world healthcare.
Bill Gates had flithy rich parents. Steve Jobs really started from nothing.
Different family back ground and different life experience. Jobs was poor, he was driven to be successful and he was not going to shy away to show off his wealthiness.
Srsly, Bill Gates is in a complete other league as a person. And he’s not just giving money. Since he stepped down as CEO of MS he’s actively working on decreasing child death rates, fighting Polio and Malaria.
Have a look at his TED talks. Interesting stuff. While the only hit searching Steve Jobs on TED gave me a speech where he pretty much read his notes telling the students Apple is cool and MS is shit
This is why Gates lives longer.
Don’t think so !
too soon
Damn that’s some good looking 2D Steve.
Jobs is a little over rated.
Steve Wozniak designed the Apple II.
Jeff Raskin and Burrell Smith had more to do with the creation of the original Macintosh.
Steve Jobs is more like the one who gives requirements. The other ones, work to satisfy him.
Did Wozniak design the Iphone? Or the Imac?
Could Wozniak had sold the Apple IIe himself?
Or led a company?
Could he have started an industrial revolution by himself? No?
He made nothing himself. But he knew how to sell, to lead, get what he wanted and basically made a total ass of himself while he was alive.
That’s why Steve Jobs is worthy of a manga. He was genius.
a genius at selling quality but overpriced stuff to clueless people, so they can use a shitload of satellites, interwebs, batteries to find their way to starbuck’s around to corner.
(well, if applemaps don’t send in mojave desert)
Did Jobs design the Iphone? Or the Imac?
Could Jobs had built the Apple IIe himself?
Or support a company?
Could he have started an industrial revolution by himself? No?
Not to mention there’s no such industrial revolution lately. Or, which industry did you mean? Music? Smart Phone? Tablet?
He had his ways of selling and leading, doesn’t mean he actual know how to sell and how to lead.
Basically, he was a genius at marketing, he saw into people. But leading and design? No he’s not really any good at them, not so bad though.
inb4 Steve Jobs x Bill Gates yaoi doujin
Jobs will be the tsundere, obviously
For educational reasons.
It’s going to be funny to see what comes out of this…
I’ll keep an eye on her next work.
Dennies Ritchie was a bigger character in technology :
co-created Unix
co-created C language
Thomas Edison here.
go to bed, kids.
Tesla > Edison
I liked him in “The Prestige”
One more here for Tesla > Edison
Thomas Edison was a complete SON OF BITCH!
Read this if you don’t know who Thomas Motherfucker Edison was:
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla
(Of course Wikipedia is good too).
I agree, I am pretty sure Nikola Tesla agrees even more in his grave.
How can one compare someone like Steve Jobs -an utter idiot and extrovert- to a genius like Dennis Ritchie?
I could somewhat understand it, if one compared Steve Wozniak to Ritchie, but Steve Jobs didn’t invent or create anything.
It’s like Steve took rubber, someone else invented, and put it on to to a wheel, that someone else invented, of a wagon cart, that someone else invented. And because it’s a rubber wheeled wagon cart and you only need to replace the rubber he’s rich. If they want to mangatize that creative aspect then fine. Entrepreneurs can use a manga.
Although it feels like the hollywood accounting in the other Mari Yamazaki article.
maybe but he was fucking rich! and everyone knows him unlike the person you mentioned who is him? so maybe life is injust or maybe you are the idiot.
and stealed…
Wozniak is the man actually behind the early apple stuff. He was the one who did, Jobs was the one who talked
True those had a bigger impacgt on the underpinnings.
Gary Kildall also had as big an influence as Jobs and Gates.
He created CP/M which MSDOS was a copy of and the GEM desktop who’s UI Windows blatantly ripped off more then MacOS.
I don’t get all the fuzz about inventing C. It’s a logical but terribly small iteration from earlier imperative system programming languages. There didn’t go much inventiveness into it at all.
If anything, of all 20th century IT personalities related to programming languages, only Konrad Zuse (for conceiving the concept of high-level languages) or Grace Hopper (for inventing the compiler) come to mind as deserving the honor of a manga. I’d give similar high regards to whoever came up with OOP, but that was an unconscious, collective feat accomplished by many unrelated efforts of people who didn’t realize they contributed to an actual invention until years later.
You missed Alan Turing!
He contributed immensely to computability theory and cryptography, but his set of transit functions for the Turing machine can hardly be called a high-level language (or a computer programing language at all for that matter). He’s a bit outside the scope of what I was going for.
I will enjoy this parody about a marketer
Why not a manga about Ada Lovelace then? The inventor of batch processing, machine language and assembly mnemonics? It could even include scenes of steamy lesbian orgies and still be historically accurate.
victorian steamy lesbian orgies….
i’d fap to that
Ha. I feel kind of lame knowing I get this and agree.
I wish they’d make an anime about Alan Turing. He’d be voiced by Akira Ishida and be all faabulous and stuff
An ero-josei manga about the female pioneer of computer programming? Count me in!
Silly nerds, normal ppl don’t know about what’s inside their plastic toys. Steve Jobs is the inventor of rectangles with rounded edges. Ingenious.
To whoever downvoted 08:07:
I believe he meant Thomas Edison is the one who invented taking credit for the inventions of others.
That’s 100% accurate, go read about him and Nikola Tesla. The Oatmeal has made a comic recently which sums it up:
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/tesla
Actually, the story behind the rounded rectangles is kinda interesting:
http://folklore.org/StoryView.py?story=Round_Rects_Are_Everywhere.txt
Don’t forget to read the comments there too.
No, that’s Thomas Edison.
Steve Jobs is the inventor of taking credit for other people’s inventions.
Just last night saw Bill Burr on Night of Too Many Stars, and I had never seen Steve Jobs so succinctly shot down. Granted he was a man who spearheaded many things back in the day, and even up to his death, but unifying all that creativity under one man is a little misdirecting.
Then how about make a manga about Al-Khwarizmi, the person who create algebra math and algorithm.
They are nothing without algebra or algorithm
He only expounded upon the fundamentals pioneered by Greeks and Indians, essentially the Indian Subcontinent and The West. Go do some more research before thinking someone ‘created’ something.
I’ll rather Dennis Ritchie biography
We can’t have nice things.
Truly a bold move.
Zura, your bald joke wasn’t transparent enough.
hitler 2 electricboogaloo?
Thermal baths, ok
Steve Jobs as a shojo/josei hero(heroine?), ok
I wonder if she’s asking to get involved in scams, scandals or steamy and odorous situations
Can’t understand her at all~
If she finds a way to put some Thermae Romae crazyness in it, it could be interesting.
Coming soon chinese iphone skins with stolen art style from this manga.
Steve Jobs in a women’s manga? I get it: He was rich & successfull so women wanna read & fantasize about having that type of guy. She’s appealing to ths gold digger market!
fantasize about jobs x woz shonen ai…
Quite interesting news.
He looks like such a pedophile in that picture.
I wonder if the Japs know that Steve Jobs didn’t wash himself for a long time in his life. He stank so much even other smelly westeners refused to work with him.
That in a josei magazine…
priceless
It should be noted that the reason he didn’t wash was a part of his fascination with eastern mysticism bullshit.
But josei manga heroines are all hardworking OLs who are secretly slobs, so that’s probably appropriate.
I know a couple of persons who used to work for him and they says that is a myth.
I know a couple of persons who worked with you and they say you got paid for that statement.
I worked for Pixar and the word “smell” is forbiden when Steve is here.
more fujoshi material for the doujinshi…. jobs x woz : “I lick your pretty smelly place until you faint….”
He smelled like hippo scat.
I am Bill Gates and I tell you, his smell was the reason why I did my own business.
I work for Google and Steve Jobs smells like cat pee.
He smells pretty nice? Are you sure you should be divulging bedroom secrets?
I work for Apple and I can confirm that Steve Jobs did smell pretty nice.
I am Steve Jobs and I can assure all of you, it never happened. I have never refused to wash myself, not while living on earth, not in afterlife.
“jap(s)” is a derogatory word you fool, stop using it
Actually it’s only a ‘derogatory term’ to you secretly racist fat overly sensitive white western pigs. Japanese nationalists do not distinguish between Jap & Japanese. Just like you do not take offense to being called ‘white’, thou you are a Caucasian of European descent. Now fuck off, you needledicked faggot.
He knows that. He’s doing it on purpose, you fool.
Few know Steve Jobs was a SATAN when he was on “those days”.
Steve Jobs was a woman?
No, just an asshole and the second coming of Hitler.
SO NOW JAPAN IS GOING TO INSULT HIM WITH CARTOONS? GREAT SHIT JAPAN! KEEP SHITTING YOURSELVES TO DEATH!
Apparently, you never watched Thermae Romae or any of the mangaka’s good works.
Hahhahahahahhahahahahhahahaa
Hahahahhaahahahahahahhahahahahhahaha
Hahahhahahahahhahahahahhaha
Hahahahhahahahahahahha
Ahahahhahahahahahahahhahahahahja
Hahahahhahahahahhahaha
Applefags are so funny!xD
like to see a moe Steve Jobs 🙂
Good riddance to that self-righteous, egotistical, over-rated, self-confessed thief.
Damn right! Preach on!
Sounds great, I’m in the mood for a good ecchi/harem manga!
