In this chapter, the protagonist explains that he has been drawing for twenty-two years. He feels that his teacher's praise for his work has led him to become a professional artist. He also wants to be a professional comic artist, because all of the characters in his class were drawn by his classmates. He tells himself that he is strong enough to do so, and that he will have no other way of doing so. The protagonist then goes on to explain that in his second year at high school, he discovered that there are many amazing artists on the web, and he used this to his advantage for 38 years. At the same time, he also discovers that he can ask for autographs at comic expos. This is the first time that he knows about the art of Doujinshi, which is a type of comic published in black and white. He thinks that if he keeps drawing, he will be able to find a career as a comic artist. But when September comes, he is the only person who has finished his work. He decides to submit his work anyway, and from now on his comic career is beginning. He has published a zombie railway, turned beast killer, and published a series of short stories. An editor from another comic company approaches him and offers to publish a story of his. He initially refuses, but later agrees to publish the story because he wants to serialize it too badly. In order to improve himself, he spends a lot of time researching, thinking, and writing. But what his parents see is that he does not have an income and he is not working. For him getting a job is the end of his comic journey. He wants to publish something that is new when he is still energetic. He wonders if humans really have the ability to adapt to change. After half a year of working for a living, he decides to stop drawing.
