The original article is more informative. Don't know if she was surprised but it sounds like she was under stress from actively and publicly fighting the TV producers - with them fighting back - rather than accepting the changes like most authors might. But I guess she most likely had depression or other issues leading up to this, along with a serving of typical Japanese shame.
But I guess she most likely had depression or other issues leading up to this
Maybe tangent to the discussion, but from my interactions with the Japanese, there's been an increase in depressed or mental women committing suicide. Something that was typical of their men is becoming sex-neutral. Although it's possible a woman doing it carries more shock, and thus news about it spreads farther, it still speaks volumes about the current state of their society
I read that one too, and its what inspired me to say it like I did.
She thought she could just "agree" her way into having creative control of faithfulness, in an industry that never even comes close to that. Especially as a basic low totem pole mangaka without any of the clout to demand such a thing.
It comes across more like someone who got a big ego thinking they had "made it" with their "baby" and then got smacked back into the reality of them just being a replaceable cog in the machine.
It doesn't make any of what they did right, but I'm not going to shed a tear over some whiny woman trying to act like a big shot, throwing everyone involved in the project under the bus to save her own skin, then pretending "oh no I didn't mean you should attack them when I said it was their fault while you were attacking me!"
Like I said, it happens to basically every series that gets flash in the pan popular. Almost all of them end up trash. She decided to take it personally and then ate the consequence of that.
