Mangania

Moguro buys the company man and manga addict Chuunen Takuji a valuable classic manga by Osamu Tezuka for which he is extremely grateful. Moguro then asks Chuunen to appraise an old manga titled Last Utopia by a little known artist, Ashizuka Mushio. Chuunen discovers that it is extremely rare but he offers to buy it from Moguro for only 10,000¥. Because Chuunen lied to Moguro about the value, Chuunen returns home to discover that his wife has given his entire manga collection to waste recyclers in exchange for rolls of toilet paper. Note: The rare comic Last Utopia is a reference to the manga UTOPIA the Final World War (UTOPIA 最後の世界大戦) by Fujiko A. Fujio.
