I still love the series. We're approaching the last instalment and here we get to see her evolved and adapted to demand rather than being a stubborn artist. Clearly, this is why, I think, she is one of the successful mangaka to date. That cliffhanger tho!!

Karir Hayashi sebagai mangaka mulai berkembang ke arah yang menjanjikan. Atas beberapa pertimbangan, Hayashi memutuskan untuk pindah ke Osaka untuk fokus bekerja sebagai mangaka. Ia masih merasa sulit mengaku akan fokus total pada pembuatan manga kepada Hidaka-sensei, sehingga ia hanya mengaku akan kembali setelah beberapa bulan. Karena pernyataan ambigu tersebut, Hidaka-sensei masih berharap Hayashi akan kembali membantunya mengajar kursus lukis terutama pada masa menjelang tes masuk kuliah. Hingga pada suatu hari, saat Hayashi baru menerima pekerjaan besar yang penting bagi karir mangakanya, ia pun menerima kabar memberatkan dari Hidaka-sensei.
Pada volume ini, penulis menyajikan lebih banyak seluk-beluk industri manga dan kehidupan mangaka. Penulis juga mulai berinteraksi dengan beberapa mangaka profesional lainnya, termasuk beberapa nama terkenal seperti Ai Yazawa.

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.
