My favourite chapter of the manga so far :)

I feel like everyone who does creative work of some kind can relate immensily to what's portrayed in this chapter.
The total juxtaposition between the passion and love many artists put into their work and the very real struggles of trying to become financially solvent is what makes it so hard to be an artist. You have to work incredibly hard AND be lucky, and even then you might not "make it" so to speak.
Even those very few who can make a living off it have to live with the fact that their life's work is being sold as a commodity good, or worse, used a speculatory device and locked away in a vault of some rich dude's mansion somewhere never to see the light of day again.

Also, Fujiko is a grade A mommy waifu so there's that.
