Yatora may have made it into TUA, but the running theme in this volume is the fact that he feels he's not good enough. He got a late start to art, he doesn't have the breadth of work that other students have, and he's constantly questioning himself. It's a strong focus on imposter syndrome, and I know that's something so many people struggle with, no matter your area of expertise.

Also, I remember those times where we had to have the class critique our pieces and it's just so nerve wracking. No matter if you're in visual art, writing, or some other kind of art. Sometimes you get good feedback, but you really just never know.
