And what really got me was when he was asking for advice on what's wrong with his work, she just says "Isn't that the author's job?" I would have said "Well, isn't it the editor's job to give guidance and advice, instead of just saying something is bad without explanation?" That one dude said the rumors about her are untrue, but from what I've seen, they're spot on. She basically destroys and discourages any creative freedom while putting the mangaka through Hell. Whatever her end game is, even if it's some twisted plan to get the dude to grow a set or something, she's a horrible editor.

So not only is she a bitch who doesn't allow people to be creative and has them mass produce generic stuff, she's so obsessed with that OZMA dude that she let it ruin her career.
As the story goes on, I just like her less and less...

Meanwhile I got some samples I found on the three girls. Unfortunately there are watermarks on them.

IDY the opposite of most Japanese manga author who are so afraid of offending the audience Example: Oh, that girl is not a mean spirited, she's just tsundere. She really wants the main character's cock. Oh, that proud honor student girl is insecure of her home making skills. She wants to be approved as a good girlfriend, after all. Oh, that girl who tease boys and says lewd things is really a virgin. God forbid if the main character gets someone else's sloppy seconds, right? But this isn't giving your characters realistic flaws to me. This is an example of the shounen manga industry trying to make a female character less threatening to the reader's ego. So it's refreshing to me to see this kind of character. I hope IDY doesn't try to soften the blow using methods similar to those listed above. My only regret is that IDY had to use a man as her obsession. It always has to be a man, doesn't it? So in a way it still falls under the "Women are allowed to have ambitions as long it is related to gaining favor from a man" rule, I see too often in manga. I mean, this chapter totally failed the Bechdel test

Of course, to be fair, the artwork doesn't help. Lee's artwork always makes women look like they're insane. It's the eyes. The editor is this just comes off as mean. Whatever OZMA did to her, it's like she taking it out on the MC and basically trying to destroy him, his dreams and any creativity he has, most likely due to the fact that he idolizes OZMA and reminds her of him. The new girl evidenced this by the fact that she obviously thought his manuscript was good, yet it was rejected. If she was hurt that badly that she has to take it out on the new guy, she needs therapy as she's definitely damaged. Doesn't help that the lead guy is a spineless dipwad.

he dares to be offensive. I'm not saying he's the Howard Stern of manga writers, but he certainly likes to challenge the norms. Remember that pregnancy arc from UxU? Or Jin-Ho hitting a girl like thug? interesting times your typical manga author would try to "soften" their characters. Not IDY. And he does succeed (but not always) in this because it manages to induce rage in readers. If it was overdone, that character would only end up being a caricature and become unintentional comedy.

Well, that takes "not writing stories for the fans" to a whole new level.
By the way, what are the odds of IDY finishing this manga series? Isn't he notorious for jumping around his works and not looking back? (I mean, he currently has nine ongoing works.)
