Well, I can see why Asano did this, and I know that this won't be the newers cup of tea certainly.

reiraku is a serious introspective on a mangaka's mature life on the real terms, not the "bakuman terms" or something, I loved Bakuman but, as time goes by one grow up enough to enjoy this kind of stories even more than the pink-coloured ones.

Initially, I did have some sympathy towards the main character but as each chapter unfolded, the character gets unlikeable due to his disguisting acts.

The part of the writer's block interested me a bit to keep it going, but ...
