[He signs it with quite a bit of over-the-top finesseāis he showing off? Fucking absolutely.]
Donāt mention it.
Not relying on your parents to buy them, on top of that⦠for someone your age, thatās rather impressive. This next volume is going to be my best yet, just you wait.

Indeed. You and your friend have the right ideaāknowledge is what matters most. The one thing that makes my manga apart from most is realityānothing implemented in Pink Dark Boy is something Iāve taken artistic licence on. Iāve experienced everything thatās happened, looked into everything personally.
Thatās one of my trade secrets, anyway. Between you and I.
Well, I use my allowance and save up... Ā So I guess it sort of is their money, but itās my money to spend on whatever I want. Ā Even if tankouban prices have gone up a little bit, Iām glad. Ā Theyāre more than worth it. Ā But I believe it! Ā
But...
Youāve actually done all of those things in Pink Dark Boy? Ā Thatās...
Thatās the best thing Iāve ever heard...! Ā No wonder itās so good! Ā The best authors always write from experiences and extrapolate from there... Ā You must be way more thorough than I ever imagined...!
Even the things with the spiders?
