In this chapter, Tommo explains that he's drawing this story to make it easier for people who aren't used to reading Japanese manga to understand what's going on in the story. He says that he hopes that the reader enjoys the story as much as he enjoyed writing it and drawing it. He also says that the story is meant to be read as a whole, rather than as a single chapter. Tommo says that in times like this, it's important to be practical. He tells us that he and his wife are in the middle of a crisis, and that he needs to be a practical person in order to deal with the situation. He's worried about his wife, who's crying because she's upset that Tommo didn't tell her that she could be a writer. He tries to calm her down by saying that he just thought she needed a hug, and he doesn't mean to hurt her. He explains that adults are very scary and dumb, but that being able to open up a bakery and sell goods is more practical than being a writer, because it allows you to make a living. He goes on to say that his dream is to become a famous manga artist, which is more ridiculous than his wife's dream of being a famous writer.
