Thanks for the chapter!
Hmm, another person using the name for clout?
I'm betting on her needing the money because of tragic backstory bullshit.
Or it could be the old "using a man's name because works produced by women aren't valued properly" thing, just with identity theft instead of making up a new name (probably for efficiency's sake).
And she seems to be a genuinely decent artist too! Tougo described her forest storm as "powerful". Heck, I'm pretty sure she either
is that Orin Halk person or has some personal connection to them (friend or family member, or maybe a mentor like Tougo had?).
I'm really hoping for a positive outcome. The track record in this manga is good, but that could just mean the creator feels like it's time for a twist to keep things less predictable (and it
is the first time we're seeing another proper artist in this manga). I hope not though.
