I only just got the raw this evening, about 6 hours ago, which is when I started it. That's why it's done now.

Page 100 Extra Time and a Pitfall
Authors: Original Story / Ooba Tsugumi
Manga / Obata Takeshi
Side: The dream they've chased for 6 years... is now this close!?
Miura: Ooh...
Ha... Hattori-senpai,
There are business proposals for a "PCP" anime on the editor-in-chief's desk!
Aida: Be quiet, Miura.
For it to be that popular within half a year, it's not strange to get offers.
Miura: Eh?
Is that so?
Hattori: There are some works where plans are made early, but...
whether to do it or not is up to the editor-in-chief.
Miura: .......

Page 2:
Miura: Then, the editor-in-chief has the final word on whether there's an anime adaptation or not?
Yoshida: You still don't know about that sorta thing.............?
The editor-in-chief takes a look at the contents of the proposal, the popularity of the work, and the point in time, and then makes a decision.
And only after he gives his signature to go forward is the author told.

Aida: So don't erroneously tell Ashirogi-kun they have an anime offer.
Miura: Ah, yes.
I know I can't say anything unless it's already been decided on.
Yamahisa: "PCP" is too dull to get an anime, don't you think?
But maybe "Aoba no Koro".
Yoshida: It's certainly more suited to a drama than an anime. At like the 9 o'clock...... No, maybe the 10 o'clock time slot.
Hattori: ..........
The 10 o'clock time slot...? That's a very Yoshida-like decision............
Aida: Either way, "PCP" is still too early on for a media mix.
For now, a drama CD is plenty. End of conversation.
Someone: ............. But, "+NATURAL"'s was decided early.
Hattori: ......

Shuujin: Saikou!
Saikou: Hey.
Shuujin: It sure is unusual for us to meet on the way to the workplace.
Saikou: In the old days, we went together every time, though.
Shuujin: Well, a lot of those times were us going straight from school.
Saikou: I'm going to the store to get some more drinks and stuff.
Shuujin: Then, I'll drop in, too.

Page 4:
Shuujin: You sure this is okay?
Saikou: Yeah, I've gotten used to drawing the pictures for "PCP", so maybe just for an hour or so.
Stuff like this is nice once in a while, too.
Shuujin: I came here a lot back when we were in middle school.
Saikou: You were always talking like you knew everything.
Shuujin: When we were in middle school, everyone was like that.
Saikou: In our first summer vacation during high school, I saw you kiss Kaya-chan here.
Shuujin: EH!!? That one, you mean my first kiss!?
Saikou: Ah, is that so?
I didn't know anything like that.
Haha.
Shuujin, look.
Shuujin: Hm?
Kids (On Page): Hahaha...

Page 5:
Kid 1: Perfect crime accomplished!
Kid 2: When did you make this, this pitfall!?
This is stupid.
You read "PCP" too much!!
Kid 3: Akechi-kun, are you pretending to fall into a pit you made yourself?
Akechi: Very funny. You were the ones who made it, Aoi-chan.
Aoi: So, you've stopped putting salmon roe in the school lunches? I don't really like the bread. It must be tough on your allowance, right?
Akechi: Are you Annojyou Mai!?
Ah!
Kids: Akechi-kun~~~~
Akechi: Damn~~~~~
Kids (On Page): Hahaha...
Shuujin: It's kinda scary.
Saikou: ?
What is?
Shuujin: We're doing too well................
Saikou: !
Shuujin: I mean, of course it's good if we do well, but...
Since we started trying to get serialized in "Jump"................
It's been 6 years since then, huh.......?
And "PCP" is unmistakably popular.

Page 6:
Shuujin: For two consecutive chapters, we've overtaken "NATURAL" at 4th place.......
We have a Drama CD adaptation.......
Azuki is playing a role in it........
And even when I write the original story, I'm never at a loss for ideas and just want to keep writing more.
Saikou: Well, I did say we have extra time, so "one hour is okay", but...
although we can say we're doing well, we still haven't surpassed "CROW" or gotten an anime.......
Shuujin: Yeah.
Our serialization has finally taken off,
so the important part is what's yet to come.
Saikou: Yeah.
Kaya: Akito-saaan, Mashiro~
Shuujin: It's Kaya-chan.
Kaya: You two on a man-date?
Shuujin: They're pretending they're PCP.
Makoto: Then how 'bout this measuring-strap!
Mai: You're so cool, Makoto-kun!
Akechi: You're overdoing it!
Kaya: Eh, that's amazing!
Yay, yay, you're all good kids!
Kids: ?
?

Page 7:
Orihara: Kaya-san, if you're already done with that page, I'll put it up.
Kaya: Nah, I'm gonna put all these pages up.
Shiratori: So, you draw names when you have some free time on your hands, Moriya-san?
Moriya: Of course. Because, unlike you, I'm aiming to be serialized.
Shiratori: ...........What kind of story are you writing?
Moriya: Even though you're a fellow assistant working in the same place, I can't tell you its contents.
Shiratori: ..........I won't steal your ideas.
And anyhow, it's important to have other people see it.
Moriya: You're not trying to be a mangaka in the first place, so of course you don't need to steal my ideas.
Orihara: Aw~~~~ just leave each to their own,
please don't fight~~~
Moriya: We're not fighting, though.
Shiratori: Yeah. This is a normal conversation for us.

Page 8:
Saikou: Shiratori-kun, why don't you write your own work?
Shiratori: Eh? Do I have to draw something?
Saikou: I'm not saying you have to, but you've gone through so much to be able to draw, one has to wonder.
Actually, among the three people here, Shiratori-kun's drawings are the best, and his drawing style is suited to shonen magazines.
Shiratori: I like drawing, but............
in terms of a work of my own, I have no idea what I should draw.............
Shuujin: Well, at first it doesn't matter, just draw something you like.
Shiratori: .............
Something I like, huh....? Something I like... I guess drawing pictures wouldn't work for that, huh?
Kaya: I'm done!
Saikou: Ah, Hattori-san is gonna be here soon.........
Shuujin: Huh? It's already 10:30!? It's because Kaya-chan took so long on the last page...
Kaya: Okay then, we'll clear out!
Shiratori: Th... Thanks for the hard work!

Page 9:
Hattori: It's an OK on the manuscript.
Good job.
Before we talk about the next chapter, I've got the first draft for the Drama CD script.
Shuujin: Ooh.
Saikou: It's earlier than I thought it'd be.
Hattori: Have a look.
I think they've grasped the characters' personalities well, but......
Paper: "PCP" Drama CD Draft #1
Shuujin: You're right. They do have the characters down.
I think Mai should have a few more lines...
Saikou: !
Shuujin: ............
So, this is the main perfect crime...............
Hattori: Yes... The one doing it is very good at writing for characters, but...
it seem they said they couldn't make a perfect crime like you can, Takagi-kun.
So, to be frank, they'd like for the perfect crime part to be done by Takagi-kun.
That's the feeling I got, anyhow...........
Ashirogi: Eh?

Page 10:
Hattori: But that's a really big burden to put on you, Takagi-kun. And even though you're the author, normally you don't do that much.
And if you have a good idea, I'd like you to use it for the series, so I said we're sorry, but...
Shuujin: It's okay!
Hattori: Eh?
Shuujin: I'll think of a perfect crime for the Drama CD.
I want it to be something high quality.
Hattori: ...........But, do you have that kind of extra time?
Shuujin: The series is in an arc again, so I have the whole thing done with time to spare.
Hattori: Well, okay, but... Are you all right with Takagi-kun making the perfect crime portion?
Saikou: Yes.
Hattori: Is that so..........?
Then, I'll leave the Drama CD to Takagi-kun, too.
Okay, then...
It's a usual meeting... Eh... I'm sure we were...
Shuujin: We're set on the wristwatch trick, so now is just the plot.
I think we should take our time!
The "PCP" VS Akechi layout is the same as the last series, so, I think we should make it look as different as possible... To that end, I thought we should set it in front of an open-air school...
Saikou: ...........

Shiratori: I'm hoooooooooome.
Dogs: WOHN
Corgi: Hah
Hah
Big Dog: Pecha
Pecha
Small Left Dog: Hyan
Girl: You're relatively early today, Shun.
Your father and the others are eating right now, so if you can, eat with them.
Actually, I've already eaten.
Girl: So you got a lunchbox or something at a convenience store, or something again?
Shiratori: Sensei's wife made us stew, today.
Girl: Yes, well, they went through a lot of effort, so you should go to the table.
Shiratori: ......Yes.

Page 12:
Lady: You'd be well off to just work at your Papa's company, Shun.
手取り 万台
After taxes, he makes 100,000, it's unbelievable.
Shiratori: ..............I'm not interested in cosmetics. I like to draw.
画家ならともかく
Lady: Though you may be an artist, I don't know about this being a helper to a mangaka.
Dog: Kuu....n
Shiratori: Peace...
Thanks for the meal.
...........
I'll do like Takagi-sensei, and start with writing it out.

Page 13:
Kaya: Aaakito-san.
Since you're doing a series again, I thought you could come to bed early?
Typing: *Tata*
*Tata*
*Tan*
*Tah*
*Tata*
*Tah*
Shuujin: What I'm doing right now is the scenario for the Drama CD.
Kaya: Eh?
Typing: *Tata*
*Tata*
*Tah*
Kaya: The author makes the Drama CD?
Shuujin: I'm just adjusting it. And we decided it'd be better if I wrote the perfect crime part.
Typing: *Tata*
*Tah*
*Tata*
Shuujin: I want the higher-ups to believe they should make this an anime soon, when they hear it.
Kaya: You're so cool, Akito-san.
Typing: *Tata*
*Ta*
Shuujin: Why would you say that now?
You already know I have talent.
Kaya: Not that, I mean it's cool how you punch the keys by touch typing.
Typing: *Tan*
*Tata*
*Tah*
*Ta*
*Tata*
*Tata*
Kaya: Since when could you do that? [heart]
Shuujin: I dunno how long..........
Well, how about I touch type some more for you, Kaya-chan?
Typing: *Tata*
*Tan*
*Poin*
Kaya: KYAH!

Box: 3 days later
Hattori: What you have for the series is good, and the Drama CD is interesting, too...
Saikou: Just what you'd expect.
Hattori: Are you sure about this? This is something I'd like to use for the series.
Shuujin: Kaya thought so too, but...
I'd like to make the Drama CD as high quality as possible.
If just one more person is told how good “PCP” is, that also draws us towards an anime.
Hattori: ..........
.............
Well, I came all the way here for a meeting, so let's have a discussion about the next arc.
Shuujin: Sure thing. At least until the assistants get here.
Saikou: In that case, I'll be inking.
Shuujin: We're continuing Akechi's story with a second series, so I thought I'd like to make the next one different.
Hattori: Alright.... Say, did you already finish the plan for the next series!?
Shuujin: Yes.
Saikou: .......

Page 15:
Saikou: It's time, so please hand everything in.
Moriya: Yes.
Orihara: One... One second...
Shiratori: Mashiro-sensei?
Saikou: Yes?
Shiratori: Will Takagi-sensei be here tomorrow?
Saikou: Yeah, I think he'll be here... What for?
Shiratori: I wrote a name, and thought I'd like Takagi-sensei to take a look at it.
Saikou: You wrote one!?
Moriya: .........Well, see you next time.
Saikou: Thanks for your help.
Shiratori: Aw man~ Even Shiratori-kun finished a name? I'm gonna be the one left behind~
Shiratori: Well, I dunno about finished... The contents are still completely...
Phone: *pi*
*pi*
Shiratori: ?

Page 16:
Saikou: Shuujin, Shiratori-kun drew a name and said he'd like you to see it.
When can you see it?
Shiratori: Mashiro-sensei..........
Shuujin: Shiratori-kun did!?
C... Can I come see it now?
Saikou: He wants to know if he can come now.
Shiratori: Y... Yes, if he would.
Shuujin: You really can draw...............!
This is interesting..........!
Orihara: Eeeh!!? Can I see it, too!?
Shiratori: Go ahead, Orihara-san...
...........Do you mean it, Takagi-sensei!?
Shuujin: The man who can't trust people, the protagonist, Rabuta-kun...
and the dog who can read people's feelings, Peace.
I think that if you can make a story with a simple setup, then it's easy to understand.
Shiratori: I have four dogs, and you said to write on a subject I like, Takagi-sensei, so I thought of this.
Takagi: A nose that can sniff out good people and bad people,
ears that can discern between people's real intentions and what's on the surface,
and a tongue that makes them say what they really mean when he licks them.
These kinds of ideas are great!

Page 17:
Saikou: I thought it was interesting, but......... like this, the protagonist has kind of a weak character...
Shuujin: Yeah! This way, Peace can show the protagonist where he has problems!
Shiratori: Ah, is... Is that so?
Shuujin: First, he pushes characters' feelings to the surface.
But, why can't he trust people now?
What is Peace trying to do?
This isn't bad as is, but I really think for "Jump", a form of getting rid of bad guys is good.
Orihara: You sound like an editor, Takagi-san.
Shuujin: ..........Did I say a little too much?
Shiratori: It's not like that at all! I'm learning a whole lot.
Orihara: Shiratori-kun, it sure was a good idea to have Takagi-san see it, huh?
Shiratori: I guess so.
Shuujin: The ideas are good, so if you just revise this a little, maybe not me, but Hattori-san should be the one to see it.
Shiratori: No! I'll do it until you give me the OK, Takagi-sensei.
Orihara: Takagi-san, when I write something too, please take a look at it!
Shuujin: Fine with me.
Shiratori: Then, specifically, where should I adjust and how..........
Takagi: Um...
Saikou: Shuujin... You're getting more and more reliable......

Page 18:
Box: Friday, September 24th
Hattori: You're 5th this week.
"+ NATURAL" is in 4th again, but...
the second chapter in a series is the most difficult place to get votes, so there's no problem.
If there was a problem with being in 5th place, then that would be a problem.
Ashirogi: Haha...
Hattori: And following the drama CD, a novelization has been decided on!
Shuujin: EEH!? Seriously!?
Saikou: Even though the drama CD hasn't even come out yet!?
Hattori: It's because novelizations and drama CDs are made by different departments.
For a popular manga, this is natural news to be coming.
The one who'll be writing it is Tanabe Ikki-san.
He's the best light novel author for handling deduction stories.
This time, Takagi-kun won't have a turn to check it.
Shuujin: Okay.
Hattori: On the other hand, Mashiro-kun will have to do the cover picture and about 10 illustrations.
Saikou: Okay.
Hattori: So you're ok with the novelization, too?
Ashirogi: Of course.
Yes, please.

Page 19:
Shuujin: A drama CD and a novelization... This is the real deal..........
Saikou: Yeah.
Next is an anime.
Hattori: !
.........Again, an anime......?
Like I thought, it'd be best for me to be upfront with them...
Takagi-kun, Mashiro-kun.
Ashirogi: Yes?
Side: A rapid descent from heaven to earth!! This is truly a thunder clap in a blue sky!!
Hattori: "PCP" won't become an anime.
Ashirogi: neEH!? [Letters gradually get bigger]
Bottom: Bakuman。
...Page 100
/ End
Next issue, the reason why "PCP" won't be an anime becomes clear!?
