Summary

"Shiozawa forges ahead with an independently published manga project. But the manga creators around him are crumbling into chaos--Chosaku drinks himself into ever less productivity over worries about his career and family, a longtime creator can't discern the difference between fiction and fantasy, and Aoki disappears rather than face the deadlines for his new hit series. Sometimes, the simple pleasure of an apple is worth more than all the fame and toil of making manga"--
