nobile's manga / #confusing(45)

The art was breathtakingly beautiful, I've always been a fan of that watercolour-style, everything about it was just beautiful. Story-wise... I have no idea what the author wanted to convey... First they're excited because the guy's manga got published, then the girl reminisces on the unexpected hard work she was forced to put in to help him, then when she realises he didn't get much money from that reality kicks in and she's stunned that it's hard to make a living. After that, he says he got a ticket to go watch her play (they said park, but then it was mentioned she was an actress so I'm guessing typo), after that interaction he appears to be laying on his couch alone on the verge of panicking because he doesn't know what he'll do in the future. And that's it, that's the whole story... the author was trying to make the readers understand that even with hard work, you can still have a tough life because you don't get paid enough, so you might have to reconsider your career choices? I dunno... it got 2 stars because the art was so nice, but otherwise it would've gotten less than one, if possible.

Just reading the summary I knew I couldn't expect much, I definitely was not disappointed.

I liked how the complexities of their relationships were portrayed, but I couldn't quite understand the ending, it wasn't just "open ended", we can guess a lot just from some cues (faces, body language, etc.) but they're all guesses and I think for something that seemed to be the main point of the story (A-sempai's feelings for C-kun, who was just hurt by the one he loved B-sempai), there should have been a bit more certainty or closure.

I've re-read this thing a few times and I still can't make sense of it at all.

This was so weird it was hilarious
