The third girl: Takeda-san
Her true intentions seem to be complicated...

Volume 2 on sale August 20th!!!

Hirao Auri

2-3 Whoa!

2-4 You're late!

3-1 You made me wait! What were you doing?

We saw Ponyo

3-2 A theater was showing it again

...and you went? Before your deadline?

I thought it'd refresh us

3-3 So just how far have you gotten on your pages?
Depending on your answer, I'll forgive you

3-4 Well, about two-thirds of the pencils are done

So, you haven't got to a point where I can help yet?
And yet, you called for help

3-5 It wasn't me who called you.
It was the editor.

He must have thought you wouldn't make it in time, hm?

3-6 Hurry up and get to work!

4-1 I was told that I was in the way

4-2 That if I was there, they couldn't get work done

Hmph!! Well, that's ok, huh?

4-3 I'm jealous of Takeda-san

4-5 You sure? I had to help out a number of times in the past, and I don't wanna do it again

Well, I was awful, so she fired me, but...

4-6 It's fine! No matter how wearisome the work is!

5-1 The important thing is that I get to be with Sempai

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

5-2 Kya! Don't tell sempai, ok?

She probably knows already

5-3 I wish she'd invite me too

6-2 Eh? What? What, Takeda-san?

6-5 Kawaguchi-san
Get to work, please!

7-1 Can't do it

7-2 Why not?

7-3 I mean, look, I've only got two-thirds of the pencils done, right?

No matter how you look at it, there no way I'm going to get it in the mail today

7-5 You really don't seem to want to work recently...
Now it's this. Last time it was the aquarium...

7-6 When I'm not into it, I can't create quality work

8-1 And well, unless it's right before the deadline, I can't get into it

8-3 You only can say that because you've had your debut, Kawaguchi-san!

8-4 I don't have a deadline, but I have to make myself draw anyway!

8-5 If I don't make myself draw, I can't debut!

9-2 That's ok, Takeda-san. Since it's not work for you, relax and take your time

9-3 Anyway!

You're so infatuated by love that you're neglecting your work!

9-6 Eh!?

Love?
What do you...

10-1 C'mon...
I'm talking about Morishita-san!

Gya!

10-2 It's ok, I'm not prejudiced like that

No, no, no...
Um, I guess we really come off that way, huh?

10-3 You totally do

I see...

10-4 Well, whatever. We're just wasting time.

Let's start inking whatever portion of the pencils you have done

Do you have any pages already inked?

10-5 Barely...
Just the title page...

11-1 Fine

11-4 What bullshit!

11-5 She's finally managed to become a manga artist, and to play around first is just...

11-6 I can't understand it

12-3 I'm better suited to be a manga artist than she is

12-4 I'd be sure to put work first

12-5 The world is screwed up
