This single handedly gave me a reason to do art again, despite avoiding it like a plague.
I have always been artistic as a kid, my parents buying me all sorts of art materials: paint, color pencils, color books and pen markers.
But as I grew up, finishing college, joining the workforce, working 56 hours per week including weekends, I just couldn't find a motivation to continue painting when I'm plagued with the next deadline for the team, or finishing a report outside of working hours unpaid.

better and more successful in arts. I didn't paint for a long time, my watercolors collected dust, my papers turned yellow overtime. I didn't want to face my self-imposed failure.
This oneshot found me in a time where I most needed it.
It's also kind of funny that I had the same experience as young Fujino here. I used to make a comic about my classmates as silly urban legend monsters and animals when I was in 5th grade on a green, cheap, lined notebook, which would get passed around the class so everyone could have a laugh and amusement reading it. I lost that notebook though, but not the reason why I made it in the first place.
Big thanks to Fujimoto for reminding me why I do it.
