NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
I actually REALLY liked the story. I thought well done. It was more about the process of writing a story. This is actually super sad. You don't get stories like this, they are so rare. I actually thought the characters were well developed. I thought we could involve ourselves a little bit more with Wakaba and the artist friend. I still thought the slow build-up of the relationships, the process of writing the manga, everything about the story was super captivating. The dialogue was great, the characters where fun to read, the story was still entertaining (to me at least). It thought we were mixing the manga development with the human character well. Usually, there's a lot of focus on just people doing manga stuff, that we don't see how they develop their mangas in story... but this one actually went the distance and pulled us in to read and create the manga itself!
This was great! Damn it! Why does good stuff have to suffer like this!
