Fucked up, but nothing surprising unfortunately, given how the suits tend to treat the creatives, the ones that actually make the money.

In another post, the manga author proposed the idea of forming a manga artist association to better advocate for creators’ rights.

Oowara was probably signaling a push for collective action to address issues like unpaid labor and promote fair compensation within the industry.

Please do

Organisation should be pushed as strongly as possible, in every industry, everywhere. It's the only way for the worker to gain anything, sadly, since governments are mostly bought off by the capitalists...
