That foreshadowing, goddamn. What a way to use meta-narrative to your advantage.

That editor chick dude (HE HAS FACIAL HAIR?) just described practically every shounen I've read/watched so accurately it's scary
 
"There's not as many people as you think in this world, who would take and interest in what you have to say."

The truest thing I've read in a manga, ever.
 
Notice that on the wall of this office, there is the photo in which Aiko appeared modeling, which we saw earlier.
 
So, the guy who Sachi is talkin to is Asano himself, or at least some sort of self-insert. Maybe it symbolizes Asano's own self doubt about Oyasumi Punpun, whether anyone would be interested in hearing what he has to say.
 
Sure, fluffy and shallow feel-good manga won't change the world. They won't even change Japan.
But they're a nice distraction from the harshness of reality for which there is fundamentally no solution.
And for all that readers like to jerk off over miserable series like this because they're relatable (because life really is that shitty), ultimately you're not going to feel good reading this sort of thing.

People on this site have a horrible track record of giving high scores to pseudo-deep navel-gazing bullshit.
But it really is difficult to get the formula just right when off the safe path of fluffy stuff.
