I can only assume this panel is a) based on a real-life exchange Narita’s had with at least one of his editors or friends, or b) Narita’s preemptive response to a question he’s surprised he hasn’t been asked yet.
[Image description: a panel from Chapter 36 of the manga Dead Mount Death Play; DMDP is written by Ryohgo Narita. The character Takumi Kuruya is labeled “Narita’s publishers,” while Sayo Shinoyama (her pose proud and unyielding) is labeled “Ryohgo Narita.” Their dialogue, the inspiration for this post, is transcribed below:
Takumi: And would you stop bringing everything back to sharks?
Sayo: I will not.
Takumi: ...Okay, then.
