I’ve had a bunch of quote tweets mentioning that I didn’t properly cite that this is a visceral, bleak book with a main character who does a lot of morally reprehensible stuff. If you’re familiar with Inio Asano you might expect that, but if this is your first encounter be aware.

I posted this page out of context because a) The namesearching comic artist is a depressingly real and timely phenomenon for the worse & b) because I’m working on a review for the full thing that I’m not tweeting out yet. The manga artist in this book is not a sympathetic figure.

The final chapter of Downfall has one of the most depressing examples of the ugly realities of parasocial relationships and the assumptions we as fans make about the moral quality of artists as human beings based on only their creative talent that I’ve read in a long time.

It's fun to see the room here and then compare it to Asano's actual studio from his Manben episodepic.twitter.com/hSbpP4YyAj

I don’t know how deeply I want or I’m even intended to read semi-autobiography into such a bleak and cruel character, but with the blonde dyed hair, the working in similar methods, the fan reactions we see, literally redrawing his own office...Asano definitely invites comparison.

legit seeing various published creators from artists to writers go on about "we have google alerts! we check our names! you have to know we'll see whatever criticism you'll say of us!" and bro do you not see how this is deeply unhealthy for both you and critics

like the least 6 months alone, watching a YA author melt down over a 2 year old throwaway sentence of some college student not liking her books, or amanda palmer becoming obsessed with one guardian writer not caring for her work
