Damn... it seems ALL the female background characters appearing in this story were heroines in other stories by the artist. That’s what I call dedication!
The spiky-haired meganekko is crazy Kudou from Next to Youth.
The girl with the hair ribbon and the camera is stinky Meiko from Couples Tree.

Certainly an interesting title. Makes a lot more sense when you hear his inspiring speech about artistry and beauty. Er, his actual thoughts about wanting to disprove a theory he heard was a little...disappointing, but at least he came around.
Hmm, those other girls she mentioned...They're heroines from the previous releases. It's certainly nice when you spot a reference like that.
"They definitely don't jiggle like bouncy balls"? So she says while they proceed to...jiggle like bouncy balls. He even thinks so in the same panel.
Great ending though! Ah yes, he managed to do a perfect drawing after having sex with her, and managed to get it displayed at a museum. A pretty amazing feat, and hey, with all the attention, I suppose it'd help with her confidence?
Artistic Note: Egon Schiele
(page 8, panel 2)
Schiele was an early Expressionist who painted nudes in a raw, unidealized way.
His women look like scrawny, disjointed dolls that have been thrown aside by an
angry child and left in twisted, grotesque positions. They're not attractive at all
(at least, not in any traditional sense), and they look nothing like plump & pretty
Momiji. Is Hosoda a fan of an artist whose style is so different from his own? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egon Schiele
