@cor3zone am I supposed to feel bad? Who put themselves in that job? If they don't like it, they can just stop. We are all locked down due to COVID anyways and the government is responsible to give allowance to everyone. The artist won't starve in this day and age.
@okestra
No, you aren't supposed to feel anything. Feel what you feel. I was just explaining that it is backbreaking, burnout is a huge fucking issue among mangaka. They chose the job, sure. Doesn't change the fact that it's a shitty job.
Don't know where you're from, but not all governments give allowance.
so... is their dad just bad with words? I'm hoping what he means is that his father can no longer teach his son because his son has already surpassed him in that regard...
@okestra
No. Not everyone can just change jobs. Especially in a socially strict culture like Japan's. If a worker quits, that means they are bad. Not the job or company. Value the group over the individual, that's their mentality. It's even in their names: family name then first name.
