"I have an army."
"We have a [Party]!"
A new rival appears...and he is truly a despicable individual!
Not only is he a two-faced snake that shows a naive, upbeat youth to the public but in private despises everyone's opinions but his own.
Not only does he ape his own story & comedy after the main duo's aesthetic & same sense of SERIOUS BIZNESS FOR MUNDANE THINGS FOR THE LULZ.
Not only does he hire a particularly spiteful ghost from their past as key art assistant.
BUT HE IS ESSENTIALLY AN AI-ART BOT 11 YEARS BEFORE IT BECAME A THING!
There's just something special about getting a true Heel in this kinda ring since this kinda story doesn't lend itself to have actual villains or antagonists in the conventional sense. So having someone you can actively root against with every fiber of your being is kinda great.

His experiment in manga creation isn't actually too far-fetched from what some people are doing now, but I think his arrogance just got too ahead of him.

Ohba and Obata, you two are manga traditionalists? You don't say!
So this is the volume where we find out the great villain – the worst thing our heroes have ever faced! -- is the prospect of crowdsourcing manga. Idk double O, it looks like it worked out pretty well for Homestuck. The dude representing this horrifying concept is named Nanamine and he is an arrogant manipulative dick. It's a shame because if you changed just a couple of things about that description – drop the assholery, make the dude a lady – he could totally have been my favourite! I'm really not opposed to the idea of shaking up the manga industry as it is portrayed in this series. Screw the gatekeepers, there's so much interesting stuff out there traditional publishing refuses to take. (Though not the way it's framed in this story, blah blah blah the untrustworthiness of man oh gosh so shocking. So transgressive! Guys please stop patting yourselves on the back for Death Note, we all get you think it was the greatest thing to ever happen to Jump) Plus the crowd Nanamine hangs with sounds kind of like reddit so. Gross. 3 stars
