In fact, recently, the man had to sell his laptop, the thing he used for all of his writing.
It was like how he was going to eventually crack a career in entertainment for real.
he had to sell that just so that they wouldn't get evicted.
And if that wasn't bad enough, the man had also begun taking out all these short-term loans with high interest rates just to pay for basic needs, forget rent, like just food and basic necessities he was taking out loans for, but he had no way to pay them back.
And so the debt was just piling up nonstop.
And so for this man, the stress was like unbearable.
And the only way he could find to even begin to cope with it was to escape into his manga books.
And even though he knew that didn't solve his problems, he didn't care.
It was like, life is so bad, at least briefly, I can read manga and escape.
And so that's what he was doing today.
And so he took his favorite manga booth, he sat back inside of the booth, and just allowed himself to get sucked into the story for the
20th time.
You know, he's read this thing multiple times.
And so as he was reading this manga book, he suddenly has this epiphany.
Now, this man all the time came up with various story ideas that maybe he could write and would be the next big thing for him.
But for some reason, it was like, wait a minute, what if I write a story that's sort of, you know, loosely based or at least inspired by my favorite piece of writing, this manga series?
Like, wait a minute, I think I have a really good idea that sort of transcends any other idea I've ever had.
And the more he thought about it, the more he realized there were other elements of his life that he could sort of attach to this story that's sort of beginning with this concept that came from this manga series.
And so before long, he had put the manga book aside, got a pen and some paper, and just began writing down some ideas, general ideas for this new story he was going to try to write.
And for hours and hours, he sat in the booth just writing like crazy.
