THE WAY I AM IN MY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS MANGA!!! The end of this volume in particular was quite the gut punch to me. I can really appreciate what Higashimura is getting across in this autobiography, and it will always be something I recommend.

Gosh, I love this series and her teacher! He’s hardcore, but he loves his students even more. ;__; The way the author wants to go back in time and slap some sense into her younger self makes me laugh, and I definitely sympathize with her regrets. Like her, my art teacher wanted me to become a painter just like him, and I never wanted to disappoint him but my heart wasn’t in painting either. I see why she wanted to write this story so much now.
I KNEW THIS WAS COMING, but it hit me all the same. I already had the idea her sensei died probably from old age but apparently it was terminal cancer instead ;___;

This 4th installment to Akiko's manga memoir is slightly less engaging than the last three in my opinion but does include a few really fun insights in to the changing path of her life from Amateur to Early Professional Mangaka. There's an explanation of the many duties expected of a single artist and the community created by the overworked and their unpaid loved ones or paid professional assistants. I do look forward to the next book and believe it will be a good finale to the series, this volume just felt slightly padded to make the five volume deal.
