aparently yes

I missed that, very good, very good

Yes, it’s understandable for a parent to worry about his child future but it you can’t trust into your own kid potential… who will ?

Also, it’s okay, bro : he ain’t her boyfriend, just her soulmate husbando Teeheehee !!

 

[VerticalVectors]

He is wrong tho. His argument rests on the idea that a mangaka's skillset isn't transferable to other fields, which is incorrect. Mangaka have to develop the same skillsets as both a writer and an illustrator at the same time, and there's plenty of jobs that demand the skills necessary for both. He's just stuck in the narrowminded perspective of a Japanese office drone

But an elite artist doesn’t necessarily translate to an elite writer. That’s just the truth. You can be a strong artist but writing doesn’t just require storyboarding, it requires vocabulary and syntax while developing a macro arc that’s consistent. In manga you can draw your way out of a corner, in a book… you’re using only words. So if you talk yourself into a corner, tough luck surviving the immersion break or rhetorical whiplash.

Very unrealistic
BUT HOT DAMN does it get you pumped up

 

[GodsWheeler]

one of the very rare manga moments where a dad is actually a w and not a stuck-up nose bleed the for 4 volumes 😭 🙏

w translation too

Peak fatherhood.

 

[alfirizkyr]

Above all else I'm glad that Dad listened, but I'm also happy that Uehara could put his foot down. He was trembling, overshadowed, clearly in the wrong and knew he was up for a scolding—he and Nina were both fresh out of middle school, for chrissake—but he still stood his ground.

Nina had spilled blood sweat and tears to prove her worth, and it paid off. She was good, enough to be professionally acknowledged, and she still decided to climb higher peaks. He actually managed to keep his word that he wouldn't let anyone trample on that.

And yeah, it's pretty cool that Dad actually reflected on it. Being stubborn had always been something of a thing with Showa Japanese men, what with their chauvinist outlook and all.

That was a neatly paced realization on his end.

Pretty cool sequence of chapters. Thanks for the TLs!

Reading this while having Drag Path - twenty one pilots on play hit me in the most melancholic way

This is why I can't love this series, you have a very believable drama about a parent disapproving of their child's artist dream, but it only lasts 1 episode and a half, it was not really mentioned before, and probably not even the dad will show up again, just some made up drama to keep the story "intresting" without it being actually important for the story or characters.

 

[RawrOfTheEmo]

It is done every time but it just feels so heart warming when the parents are cruel about their child's dream because its their baby and don't want them to suffer. But they end up letting them set off in their own path in life, so cute

 

[Diplodoc]

Yeah bro corporate life is a lot better than mangaka's.
I'm sorry lil sis that your father is so stupid for drama purposes. There are gazzilion jobs involving drawing, she got it covered regardless.

 

[Sky_Ravager]

I love this chapter. The Dad is not an asshole because of reasons, he just don't want to see his precious daughter hurt.

Thanks for the chapter!

 

[WarmAugust]

I'm childless and 18, yet I feel so much empathy for her dad

 

[shiyu]

ngl this was the only chapter so far that actually made me feel something the dad flashbacks got my eyes hot and watery

 

[NerimaShinjuku]

Don’t worry Niina if the manga career doesn’t work out you can work 20-hour days in the anime industry making less than a Lawson’s cashier

 

[Rioksek]

No clue how the kid came outta that house alive 😭 generational luck with that dad.

 

[ysil69]

Nawh the dads 100% right. Go to university with a backup in mind. Become a Mangaka in the meantime. If you make it big drop out, if not you have a backup career.

 

[Tylle]

Throughout his entire life, our boy never had the balls to confront anyone.
As it turns out, he was saving it all up for this day !

Sort of adjacent to the topic of this chapter, but the father says being a comic artist/mangaka has no transferable skills, which is just entirely incorrect.
There's quite a few jobs to go to:

• Fine Arts (obviously)
• Graphic Artist/Designer
• Illustrator
• Commercial comic artist/mangaka (comics made for advertising purposes)
• Storyboard Artist
• Animation
• Games Industry
• Concept Art

And this is just the 'off the top of my head' stuff based entirely around drawing. There's likely more drawing based jobs I just didn't think of, like a mural artist for example.

If they had assistants they can reasonably claim to have team leadership skills, if they've consistently met deadlines they can claim that as a desirable skill (because it really is), and if they have any other artistic hobbies such as 3D (which they likely usually do) they have that many more options and doors open to them.
Not to mention the networking they've likely had from being a mangaka, which can likely get them a job within the publishing industry.
Honestly, the visual arts is probably among the more secure of the artistic jobs, because there's so many types of jobs out there, for many different corporate and commercial positions.

The father's criticism would be far more accurate for writing or for music, which while also has commercial aspects to the industry, they're not nearly as large and varied as the visual arts industry.
Though take this with a large dosage of salt, because I haven't really considered the impact of AI - which may well nuke all the artistic industries, or the effects may not be too large, we'll have to see.

I'm glad it didn't get dragged on for so long and only was two chapters really.
Also those photos does it mean that The One Within the Villainess is getting an anime aswell or am i just hoping for nothing?

It is, and I'm excited.
