Japan is a weird place

page 10, lower right panel "Taking breaks are important too" should be "is" instead of "are"

@Chuggoth There are people who throw away Orchids after the flowers have fallen off. Certain humans are wasteful creatures.

If a PC doesn't turn on at all, it's unlikely all data within is magically lost. It sounds like an issue with the power supply if there's no reaction whatsoever when the power button is pressed. Or an unplugged power cord more likely... Well, I'm only talking about the PCs meant for Win/Linux. If it's an Apple, you are probably beyond any mortal help, unless the work is all saved in the cloud.

Kaarme, that being said, the main issue in a situation loke that is “time to repair” vs “time to complete alternative”

Are you telling me that a professional doesn't keep external hard disks for frequent automatic backups of concerned files while working on something important? Really? Accidents of many kinds can happen while working, it's standard to always back things up frequently if you work with something that takes a lot of time to recover or is even impossible to recover if something happens. It's even possible to have a separate harddisk that mirrors the main harddisk and adds everything new onto the extra harddisk or that just adds whatever folders you want it to add whenever you change the content of said folders. I'd think that a mangaka would have proper backup like that because if you lose the drawings you're working on for whatever reason, it'll take a very long time to redraw it and will probably result in a missed deadline and a lot of overtime/unnecessary extra work and stress for nothing. What should've happened here was that she'd lose a few hours buying a new pc and setting the necessary programs up and then be back to work where she left off.

Remember, kids. Always back your files up regularly, even if you're not a pro. At least once a week is a good idea. No need to backup the entire computer since it's better to just reinstall everything on a clean install and get rid of all the extra waste that piles up in an older computer. Just get an external harddisk and set it to back-up the maps you'd miss if they disappeared.

Anyway, I don't really like this girl. She gets in the way of the fluff. She's just a mere mooching pig failure at life that can't even do elementary things such as cooking proper meals or keep her room tidy. Having a job alone doesn't mean a person is a decent human being. Also, the first impression couldn't possibly have been worse, illegally opening a stranger's door, threatening to call the police despite having no understanding of the situation, reprimanding someone for making slight noise in the middle of the day(also, seriously, get a pair of noise-cancelling headphones if you're bothered by noise in the middle of the day, that or some ear plugs) and then becoming docile because she was fed and spoiled. Repulsive. If she hadn't been such a bitch when they first met, I wouldn't have cared but now I just feel like she's getting in the way.

Kaarme, indeed, it's very unlikely the actual HDD/SSD is fried. I've had a few computers die on me like this and it's usually just about taking out the SSD/HDD and get the contents. Well, you could also do some easy trial and error to reach the possible problem, like where does the power reach, does it even reach the motherboard? Things like that. Then change the likely offender. But if you just want the contents, there are much easier ways and while it's very hard or even impossible to fix a mac that has issues with the motherboard or power supply, it's actually USUALLY quite easy to just open it up and retrieve the HDD/SSD, especially since you don't have to care about damaging anything. Then you simply get an adapter, plug the hdd/ssd in via usb to your computer and then you can get all the files, I've done it plenty of times either for myself or to help friends/family.

Still, an external frequent backup drive is the best option, then you don't have to take any extra steps and just buy a new computer if you can't be arsed to find the fault and fix it.

CommanderAGL, just ripping out the ssd/hdd and getting the contents shouldn't take more than a hour. Then a few hours to get the computer. Still, it's stupid that she didn't have any backups. It seems to me that it'll take far longer to actually redraw everything from scratch on paper than continuing the stuff she had already started and the quality will be inferior. But then again, she seems like a computer newbie that only knows how to use her painting program and has no real knowledge on computers, but even that isn't an excuse to not have automatic backups.
