question
meaning
What's the meaning of a sentence by a manga author? 「もともとイラスト畑の人間なので...」
This ～畑の actually simply means "(in) the field of ～", where this "field"
refers to fields of expertise/business rather than fields of vegetables. It's
a fairly slangy way of saying someone's specialty. Of course a mangaka needs
to draw much more pictures than an illustrator.
