poor hina

and dang i'm sure there are ways to keep maintenance on a bag but i feel like a spray and cream seems like a sales tactic to buy more if it didn't come with a free kit to start with (tho i wonder the legality of trouble someone would get in if it's like "this was made from human skin" tho be interesting i fthere were disturbing products out there made by 'volunteers' like how organ donors exist)

expected him to be made into 'materials'

I guess it's up for interpretation but to me it seemed like she was just putting the bag back in his hand. He just improved himself to be worthy of the bag.

So here's a fun fact for y'all: there's an attested practice of tanning human skin and using it as a material in bookbinding. There are numerous libraries throughout the world that have examples in their restricted collections, usually requiring special permission to even see, with handling them being strictly forbidden.

Except, for the most part, they actually... don't. Though there are some genuine examples, over the past decade or so quite a few of these bindings have been tested, and the majority are fake. Usually they're some other kind of leather (turns out that giving a macabre backstory to your book bound in horsehide ups the resale value a bit) or, in some cases, they're actually not even leather at all.

Anyway, the thing I'm getting at here is that there's a decent chance that 20, 30 years down the road when our human leather enthusiast salaryman retires and tries to sell his anthropodermic bag that the buyer will take a look at it and, while he's halfway through explaining the elaborate washing ritual, interrupt him with "Dude, this bag is made of vinyl."

So..uh..how did the dude suddenly managed to be the boss now?
Implied by the shop owner, that owning the bag and caring for it will improve even the owners of the bags, suggesting that the bag might bring him good fortune, or maybe even caring for it may teach him good habits which he can apply in life to help him succeed. Last panel was probably a timeskip, after the bag recovered from the blemishes, and he got promoted.

Huh..a surprisingly wholesome story from Yuuma.

Not that creepy of a story, which I think is him being considerate to Hina. Human skin and creepy humanoid figures aside, there are things that people will take care of religiously, like regular real fancy leather and cast iron pans

I feel like there's a page or two missing between this dude getting his bag treated and becoming boss man of the whole company.

Also, I have to confess, I thought the current cover was yuma eating a big ol' watermelon. mmm watermelon....
