(Let's see what they picked...[twt 0.7][charaFace E 4][sr]...?)
[k]

＠Osakabehime
(A doujin of an anime that used to be popular decades ago with, um, kind of an old-fashioned art style?)
[k]

＠Osakabehime
(It's definitely not winning any awards. Even its cover and binding aren't all that memorable.)
[k]

[charaFace E 3]
＠Osakabehime
(A-are they sure about this? I have a hard time believing this is really the best doujin in the shop!)

We found no end of books with well-drawn art.

＠Nero
Between my fine Roman sensibilities, and Galatea's Greek sculptor's eye, there were plenty of worthy candidates.
[k]

＠Nero
However, they all lacked something more[line 2]something that definitively set them apart from all the other books.

To be perfectly honest, this book cannot compete with the others at a technical level. It is still rough and unrefined.

As I thought, I don't know enough about manga to distinguish a good one from a bad one.
[k]

＠Galatea
But I can tell when something is made with love.
[k]

＠Galatea
It was the love of another that gave me life, so I recognize how precious it is.
[k]

[charaFace D 1]
＠Galatea
And so, I can say this with absolute certainty:
[k]

＠Galatea
As old and amateurish as this book may be, it was made with more love than any other book in this store.
[k]

＠Galatea
That's why we chose it for our submission.

Boy, this takes me back. I didn't know the first thing about drawing, and I was so nervous I second-guessed every creative choice I made...
[k]

＠Doujin Sage
But even though I was just copying things from all the other books I'd read, my passion was so great that I couldn't put my pens down until I'd finished.
[k]

＠Doujin Sage
Yes, that's right.[sr]I put every bit of love I had into this book.
[k]

＠Doujin Sage
It marks the momentous turning point in my life when I went from just being a passive consumer to a creator in my own right.

＠Doujin Sage
Isn't it pathetic that this decades-old derivative doujin of mine was made with the most love out of everything here?
[k]

＠Doujin Sage
It just goes to show that young artists today simply don't have the same kind of passion for doujin that they used to back in the[line 2]Hey, are you listening to me?
[k]

＠Doujin Sage
Anyway, as I was saying, it's great that young artists like yourselves have all gotten so good at drawing, but I can't help but feel that it's all just cold technique instead of drawing with the feelings that led to them wanting to create in the first place. I'm not saying no one should ever change genres, but if you go around chasing every new trend that pops up left and right[line 2]
