New style "yuri" manga artist story

I've got to tell you...

I'm here to visit in the rain

Hirao Auri

2-2 Sorry, Morishita's here today

2-3 Look, she's always here

2-4 You don't like Morishita, so I thought I'd warn you

Is that so!?

2-5 But too bad! Sempai loves me!

3-1 Is that so

It is so [put "is" in italics]

3-2 It's not that I don't like you, Morishita-san

3-3 It's just...
you're in the way...

3-4 Morishita's Fantasy [big letters]

If Morishita-san's not here, then I get to be alone with Kawaguchi-san...

I hate her... I hate Morishita's very existance...

I hope Morishita's house gets all humid and that her pages get soggy and her pen tips rust

3-5 I have news that you'll like, Takeda-san

4-1 I'm going to Tokyo for a while tomorrow...

4-2 Is that so

Eh? What? I didn't know that!?

4-3 To tell the truth, I have five meetings stacked up

Five!?

I want to get them all over with

4-4 Five!?

Does that mean you have five editors? [in other words five magazines are interested in her work]

Ehehe

Morishita's better than you think!

4-5 If she has five editors, but she hasn't had her debut, can you really say that?

But five editors...

5-1 You seem busy

Must be nice...

5-2 Eh...!

5-3 You're giving me the evil eye... The evil eye, Takeda-san...

Eh... no more than normal

5-4 If you're so busy,
Then you should live in Tokyo, hm?

6-1 I won't! Not as long as you are Sempai's assistant!

Oh. Really.

6-2 You really couldn't care less about Morishita, huh Takeda-san?

Is that true!?

6-3 Just what is all this unproductive talk about?

6-5 I can't finish!

7-1 Can I spend the night?

Spend the night?

7-2 We're not going to finish at this rate, right?

That mean we'll have to pull an all-nighter, huh

Do so!

7-3 Then I'm staying too!

7-5 Were you eavesdropping?

No, I was just passing by on the way to the bathroom

But I was there for a long time...

That's called eavesdropping

8-1 But you're going to Tokyo tomorrow, right?

I'll leave from here

8-2 It's fine with me, but you don't have anything to do, right?
And Takeda-san doesn't like you, so...

8-3 Look, I didn't say that

As long as she isn't in the same room when we're working

Waaah

9-2 I had no idea she hated me that much

9-3 And you jumped right in the bath..
The temperature's just right

9-4 What about you, Takeda-san?

Yeah, I'll take a bath

11-3 This is a surprise

Weren't you waiting upstairs?

11-4 Yeah, um

Takeda-san... I...

11-5 Want to ask you something...

12-1 Yeah, I have more meetings now

12-2 And it'd be more convenient to be in Tokyo, it seems

12-4 And I'm getting asked if I plan to move

12-5 Shouldn't you be talking to Kawaguchi-san about this?

13-1 I can't!

13-2 Look,
She'd just say "why don't you go ahead?", right?

13-3 I don't want to hear that

13-4 I don't get this at all

So even though she's supporting you, you can't get over it?

13-5 This is a complicated circuit for a young woman!

14-1 It's hard for me too!

It hard for me to watch the two of you succeed
then make me listen to this - just what the hell do you want me to say?

14-4 That's not what I...

14-5 People have hopes for you and you're still worried about this?

15-1 The only thing I can say is...

You'd be better off moving

15-2 If your editors are saying that, don't you think you should consider their advice?
In any case, more that mine

15-4 Yeah...

16-1 I'm off

16-2 So carefree

I'll go shopping in Tokyo for my materials
I have a lot to do, so I don't know when I'll be back

16-4 Eh
I-I see...

17-1 Have a good trip
Take care

18-1 Ok, so just continue like this

18-2 Ok, thank you very much

18-3 By the way, Morishita-san

18-4 Have you decided to move Tokyo?

18-5 Um...
Not yet...

19-1 I want to think about it a bit more...

19-3 What's troubling you about it?

19-4 You have a lot of work now

19-5 If you come to Tokyo, there's no downside, right?

20-1 But...

20-2 Sempai, she's...

20-3 And what's more

20-4 I want to have cute little Morishita-san close at hand
