OnK S2 Ep 3 with a great episode steers from the process of adaptation and how communication it is adapting from one medium to another.
The start of the episode really showed the benefited that the Play medium has. Between sound effects and how seamless the transition from one scene to another. Given someone like Aqua who is very familiar with entertainment industry perceptions. There is doubt a super introvert like Abiko-sensei wouldn't be aware of these. Really showing that if she writes the script the play adaptation is doomed.
Here it focuses more on mangaka themselves. As it focuses on Yoriko-sensei and Abiko-sensei. As mentioned by Aqua, Yoriko-sensei was Abiko-sensei's mentor. It makes sense they would go to them. The difference between the two of them is Yoriko-sensei is a monthly mangaka and Abiko-sensei is a weekly mangaka.
You can clearly see the author of OnK Aka Akasaka is listing out grievances about what being a weekly mangaka is like. Since you are meeting a weekly deadline, and you are responsible for both story and art. Then the editor part highlights that they keep convincing you to keep your story going. These were things that irritated him when he was writing "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War". When he wrote both "Oshi no Ko" and "Love Agency" he made sure to hire an artist and keep a rotating schedule that allowed a break every 4–6 weeks.
The strongest part of the episode is when it dealt with Abiko-sensei and her arrogance as a mangaka. She is the prime example of someone who not only put so much pressure on herself. Given that her art is extremely detailed for a weekly series. Since monthly series are where you would normally see that. Even more on Abiko-sensei not having any assistants she wants to work with. Her biggest failure is not to being a mentor like Yoriko-sensei was to her, but expecting them to match her level.
This episode also highlights the unhealthy lifestyle of a weekly mangaka. Abiko-sensei's home is an utter mess. She is behind on her weekly deadline being a weekly mangaka. More so alluding how getting 2 hours of sleep will lead her to live a terrible lifestyle that will cause her to lose her passion for manga. Adding insult she mentions how the quality of her work has gotten worse, more cliché and is not entertaining anymore. Lastly, the part that she hasn't started working on the script for the 2.5 Play adaptation of Tokyo Blade.
Ultimately, the frustration Abiko-sensei has to do with Sweet Today's adaptation. As it was handled very poorly. Of course, as she mentions, you never want to see the work you love treated with disrespect. Yoriko-sensei admits she wishes things could have been different, but doesn't regret it because of how the final episode went thanks to Aqua and Kana. The lesson for Abiko-sensei is not to put everything on her shoulders.
This episode adapted one of my favorite chapters from the manga and when this series focuses on issues regarding the entertainment industry as opposed to the main story, it’s great.
