Episode 12

Everyone's Reactions

"Let's draw what we love. For as long as we can." That episode 12 subtitle really hit me right in the feels. I loved how Yasmin helped save the protagonist through her own works—it made me realize that manga isn't just entertainment, but something that truly supports life. The line "If you can't draw what you love, there's no point in being a pro" resonated so deeply with me. Poko-ta was giving off such a 'I'm about to disappear' vibe the whole time, yet somehow didn't! I couldn't help but shout at the screen. The episode 12 ending theme playing over manga-panel-style visuals was a brilliant touch. It probably cost more in budget and effort, but it’s definitely proof of this show's quality. It seems like the Season 2 announcement came in rather suddenly during the broadcast, and when author Toyoda-san wrote that she was letting out a 'joyful scream,' I felt exactly the same way.
