単なる内輪げんかの本。その内容は、我々にはほとんど関係ないし、事実のほども分からない。当事者同士の問題だ。小林の言い分が正しいのか、宅の言い分が正しいのか、読者は判断しようがない。それがマスコミの世界である。発言力（というのも幻想であるが）を持つものの言い分しか通らない世界である。マスコミの持つ恐ろしさがよく分かる本である。この本を読んで「そうだ」と納得する人が何人いるだろうか。しかし、これも一つの発言であることは認めなければならない。
漫画の持つわかりやすさとデフォルメ。分かったように思ってしまう要因、それはテレビにも映画にも共通する。もちろん本にも共通するのだが、抱いた幻想が現実とどう結びつくのかを読者・視聴者が自己認識できるかどうか。幻想だという前提をどこまで持ち得るのか。バーチャルな世界と現実（と思われているもの）との境が不明な今だからこそ、視覚メディアの作者は気を付け（自覚し）ながら作成する義務を負っている。
「ゴー宣」は始めはマンガであった。それが事実を含んでいようといまいとマンガという領域であった。そこから読者は自分なりの何かを引き出すことができた。しかし、今はマンガの領域からはずれ、読者に「事実を強制する」ことのみがその使命になっている。笑いもなければ夢もない。読者の意識を不在にしなければ読むことのできない内容である。アジビラと同じだ。そこには読者の反論の余地はない。その余地を小林は半分読者に同情する形で、半分はギャグでつぶしている。それでも反論しようとする者は小林など読まない。
問題は、社会の情勢が右翼化する（右傾化ではない）今、有効な対抗手段が見つからないということである。いや、対抗の必要はないのかも知れない。それぞれが自分の生をいきつつある現在、「ゴー宣」は一つの時代のあだ花としてみるべきなのかも知れない。

⟨impressions⟩
A mere inner ring book. Its content has little to do with us and is not as clear as the facts. It's a problem between the parties. The reader cannot judge whether Kobayashi's statement is correct or his house's statement is correct. That is the world of the media. It's a world where people who have a voice (although it's an illusion) can only make a point. It is a book that clearly shows the horror of the media. How many people read this book and are convinced that it is? However, it must be admitted that this is also a statement.
The clarity and deformation of manga. Factors that make you think you understand are common to both television and movies. Of course, it is common to books, but whether readers and viewers can self-recognize how the illusions they hold are connected to reality. How far can we have the premise that it is an illusion? Now that the boundary between the virtual world and the reality (what is supposed to be) is unknown, the creators of visual media are obliged to create it with care (awareness).
"Go Sen" was originally a manga. Whether it contained facts or not, it was the realm of manga. From there, the reader was able to draw something of his own. But now it's out of the realm of manga, and its only mission is to "force the facts" on the reader. There is no laughter and no dreams. It is a content that cannot be read without the reader's consciousness being absent. It's the same as Ajibira. There is no arguing for the reader. Kobayashi half sympathizes with the reader and half crushes the room with a gag. Still, those who try to argue do not read Kobayashi.
The problem is that now that the social situation is becoming right-wing (not right-leaning), no effective countermeasures can be found. No, it may not be necessary to counter it. Now that each of them is living their own lives, "Go Sen" may have to be seen as a flower of an era.
