I've been a big fan of Araki's manga for years but I wasn't sure what to make of his book. much of his advice is EXTREMELY rudimentary & something you'd get from a basic creative writing or drawing class. tbh if you squint, there's some interesting autobiographical elements when Araki reflects on his work that I found way more interesting. I don't really think book functions well as how-to book but it's an interesting novelty at least.
