2-1 That was fast!

Thanks for reading!
Please look forward to Sachi-sensei's next work!

2-2 It's only April!

It wasn't popular. Oh well.

2-3 You don't know that!

2-4 Sempai

3-1 You look at the net?

3-2 Reviews of your own manga?

Yeah

3-3 Nope!
I told you I'm scared of looking at that kinda stuff!

3-4 I'm worthless

4-1 What? Why?

4-2 It wasn't that interesting, but...

4-4 I've gotta make it interesting!

It's the same as if I don't get published at all!

4-5 Waaah

5-3 Maybe I'll head to work...

6-2 Kitty, you're just like me... (?)

6-5 Morishita!

7-2 Sempai!

7-3 Jackass!

7-4 She hit the same place...

Look, Morishita

7-5 It's just one story that didn't turn out that interesting, ok?

8-1 You don't have to keeping saying that...

I mean, look, I've done tons of one-shots, right?

Kawaguchi should just give up

Her stuff doesn't suit the manga
Or maybe I just don't get it
But the way her stories go really pisses me off

Forget all this, let's talk about hamburgers!

9-1 If you look at the net, it's all over!

9-2 It happened to me a couple years ago, and I was toast!

You look proud...

9-3 So I'm telling you, don't worry about i, ok?

9-5 But you want to read the good things people write, don't you?

10-1 Yeah, I know...

10-2 You want the praise, right?

Right

10-3 But look, I praise you, right?

10-4 Eh?
You just said it wasn't that interesting, didn't you...

10-5 I'm the kind that takes things seriously. Pessimist, y'know?

That's that, and this is this.

10-6 As far manga goes, you don't have to worry about it

11-1 Thanks for this year

11-2 This year?

11-3 What day is it today?

11-4 Tomobiki? [Japanese calendars mark certain days - sort of like a horoscope. Tomobiki is a good day for doing business]

Bzzzzt

11-5 Dai-an? [Lucky or auspicious day]

12-1 It's been a year since we started going out

It's butsumetsu, by the way [a very unlucky day]

12-2 Thank you. Really.

12-3 You don't have to...

12-4 And what's more
Look look

13-1 A one year anniversary present

13-2 Special
School Pens

13-3 Pen tips!

There's 200 in there

200!?

13-4 I asked Masato what I should get you, so...

13-5 What should I get her for our 1 year anniversary?

14-1 Well...
She's a young woman, so...
Something made outta precious metal?

14-2 Precious metal

14-3 I wonder if I looked like I was going to run out of pen tips at school

14-4 There's 200, so you should be able to keep drawing for a while, right?

14-5 Yep, that'd be about right!

Consider it pressure to get working on your next manga

15-1 Eh

And if I find you reading comments on the net again

15-2 I'll heat up one of those pen tips and melt down your computer

15-3 ...I got it

16-1 Umph

16-2 It's been a while since I've been outside. My eyes are watering

Sempai, you better get out more for your health

16-3 What about you, Morishita?

16-4 I go out to work

Ah, that's right

But the manager has asked me to start working there full time

16-5 So I think I'll do it

17-1 Sliiip

17-2 Eh?
Are you serious? Why?

Are you really going to quit drawing manga?

17-3 No I'm not

17-4 It lets me use my all my prior experience there, right?
It'd be a waste not to do anything with it

17-5 Hmm

18-1 So you are refusing the path of the slacker

18-2 I'm not saying anything bad about you being a slacker, sempai

Nah, nah, look...

18-4 Your manga has ended, while mine is continuing

18-5 So does that mean mine is more interesting or what!?

Oooo
You don't have to put it like that...

19-1 So we're rivals all the sudden, huh?

Rivals...

19-2 I've gotta show you that I can draw manga without having a job

19-3 And I'll show you that I can draw manga while doing another job

19-4 Let's do it

Yeah

20-1 I'm counting on you from now on, too
With work stuff, and non-work stuff too

Yep. Of course.
