A manga artist contacts his editor to complain about severe typos in his series, Swordmaster Yamato. Later, a new editor named Takara-san calls to inform him that the manga must end immediately due to low popularity, even though the plot is intensifying. The artist is granted only three pages to conclude the story, a constraint he considers absurd given the narrative's current momentum. This sequence highlights the frustration of dealing with production errors and the harsh reality of sudden cancellation in the manga industry.
