Joan is such a fresh character. Artists got huge ego but real pro know how to use feedback to improve their works.

 

[drakenation]

Editors really be like: no uniqueness pls, make it more trope-y and generic, our public doesn't accept anything different.

But going by the mangadex forums, he's probably right...

 

[pink_rabbit]

I think its more of the backlash on the introvert male readers thinking they deserve a hot gf. Which is a shame when I think that art should be critical of any culture

dude gonna get burned out from all these changes soon, and turn his life into a gangbanger

 

[EmiYusa]

funny \ sad enough, here in Brazil if you get a crime proof by sneakly record a confession, it's probably not count for being a illegally gotten proof, a lot of criminal$ got away with that argument :T

I kinda feel like Hiroto with issue to move foward, but seeing João getting support and mentoring to get his skill and work polished makes me think I really need a guidance like that to break free...? oh well

Thanks for the translation!!

40 pages in 3 months and you can live off it for a year. That's awesome.

And yea. That's what happens when you see someone happily drawing. You want to draw again.

There are also some extra details.

The joke from Mai-chan is a parallel to the police chief's comment about avocado salads. Also. Joao's mom is coughing. I hope it's not deadly like Covid.

 

[Achaius]

Yeah, agreeing with editor. The joke falls flat and makes the story meaningless. If you understandably doesn't want to go for the "nerd gets hottie" trope, it needs to flow more naturally and still provides some kind of fulfilling conclusion. They become friends, rivals, perhaps the nerd finds his calling as a teacher, feels proud as a tutor or the delinquant starts tutoring other difficult kids as well. Any kind of pay off, really.

With that said, I wish the author showed us the end result. Guess himself couldn't envision a fulfilling conclusion when delinquant admits she bottled her dislike of him just for the sake of her grades.

 

[Achaius]

Oh, and love the premises for the Manga idea on the last page. Gimme more everymen and their real struggles.

 

[tuges]

I love how much growth these chapters are emphasizing, not just for Joao but Takei as well. He's not just being a mentor but learning from the prodigy in spite of the introspections.

40 pages in 3 months and you can live off it for a year. That's awesome.

In a favela in an underdeveloped country. Cheap, yeah, but the living conditions are questionable at best.
