"I made it an excuse for everything."
This bit about him being "stuck" in his middle school years really and using that as an escape really puts his previous work in a new perspective, especially considering all of his infamous afterwords that he's written over the years.
It was a bit of a slow start, but it feels like this manga is finally "rolling", at least in terms of what most people expect from Oshimi. I like that he's pushing his art in a more sketchy direction as well, since it really fits the mood of this story.
