AI manga "Chita"
Story setting
Cheetahs are supposed to be the fastest animals on land, sprinting across the savanna, but they've become too fat to run. His name is "Chiita." ...Yes, Chiita is a "digital twin" of myself, who, due to the stress of being a salaryman and the pressure to conform within an organization, lost sight of my true potential as a speed demon (a free-thinking investor and business owner who doesn't take orders from anyone) and ended up with a potbelly.
Japanese education doesn't teach you how to survive as a boss outside of a company. As you get older, changing jobs becomes more difficult, and the fear of change causes many people to lock themselves in their own cages. I entrusted that melancholy to Chi-ta.
Another reason is that "investment and money talk" has such a bad image that it's overflowing with scams and dubious stories. Money is the very foundation of life and livelihood, so the more seriously it's discussed, the more people close themselves off out of fear (if it's a hobby, you can quit it immediately if it doesn't work out, but you can't do that with a gamble on your life).
That's why the two characters, Chi-ta, a bundle of charm, and Yukihyo, with his cold, insightful perspective, were necessary. Through their humorous banter, the inconvenient truth about money can be subtly conveyed to the viewer's mind.
