I mean i get that Tougo empathizes with her, but big man has a point, her actions even if they came from an understandable place, could have caused a major conflict between two noble houses, potentially leading to quite a few deaths, sympathetic as she is, it does feel a bit off to just let her off.

I understand mangaka is trying to make us feel sympathy for her but I'm finding it hard to do so.

I feel bad but frankly, I don't care about what happens to her unlike the other characters.

Thank you for updating!

Tougo:

Don't care about money or name, just want to paint and get decent paintings properly recognized.

Layla:
It's both about the money and sending a message. You get rich and your art gets at least recognized if you use other famous painters' names :haa:

"Sir, a second painting has hit the museum."

Fr tho, as someone who works in the game industry's equivalent of ghostwriting, this is the arc I most identify with. In an industry where your portfolio is your literal career, imagine being denied a credit after working on it for years, just because the client thinks it looks bad to have 'outside help' listed in the credits. Sure the money is good, but your soul dies a little everytime someone asks what you have been doing the past decade, only to be bound by whimsical interpretations of the NDA

She doesnt seem to care about the money. This chapter reveals that being sued by Tougo is exactly what she wants, so that she can expose how corrupt the art market is. Readers asking for her to be punished is basically telling MC to punish a fellow artist for agreeing with MC's principles.

This arc is really exciting to me, idk why. The pacing, the way Tougo feels and interprets it into how he thinks, the way the antagonist is displayed, the way it invites the readers to ponder about art and how it entwines with artists' lives, I'm enjoying this ride especially. I haven't been this excited about the series since Tougo colorpicked the sky.

She should be punished by having to become a nude model for Tougo to paint. Tougo should then be punished for this by having to become a nude model for her.

"How can I abduct Layla?"

Just normal dinner table talk for Tougo, I guess 😂

Still though, kinda difficult to empathize with Layla at this point...
I spit my water when I read that.
This dude is going places.
