Phew...

Good morning, Hideo-kun!
You looked so cute while you were sleeping.
Anyways, I got Nakata-san to send me his storyboard by fax, it's awesome!
I think you might be able to learn something from it so make sure you read it!!

Title: Bitch!! You've been demoted to my mistress!!!

... L-
Learn something from _this_~?
Sfx: Gusha-

Sfx: Ba-

... No,
This isn't the storyboard's fault.
Sfx: Ton Ton Ton

... Man, don't freakin'
fax your exes in other people's houses...

Hey,
My cell's ringing.

From: Passhi- Hide
To: Hideo
Sending out some info about the group date-
2009 May 1st 9:30 Mark as unread
Hey Hideo-kun, are you busy~?
There's gonna be a group date tonight at 7 and I was
wondering if you could come. We're missing some bodies.
They're supposed to be some real gems in the mix. As
usual we don't have girlfriends so
-- help us out-

... Man, a group date?
I'm getting ready to work my ass off here.

I'm really sorry~, Kazu went straight home yesterday so I wasn't able to get in contact with him.
... I see.

Oh, could you send this storyboard to the editing department?
I'm sorry for all the trouble. I'll try and call his cell again.
Group dates, yeah that's all
Sfx: Butsu (mumble)
puttin' hoes before bros.
Sure, got it!

Page 157
Please leave your message within 15 seconds after the beep...
... Hey, hello? Kazu-san? This is Matsuo.

Mi-chan, did you catch Opa4(oppayo) this morning?
Yeah, I did. I was up till dawn working on my storyboard.
Whoa~ All right.
I sent the storyboard to the editing department so.

Hideo-kun, You're in the group Kazu-san leads, right? He didn't tell you anything?
Ah,
Nope, sorry. I don't have his cell either so... You can't get in contact with him?
Been up all night working on the storyboard, and I've been trying to reach him all morning but I can't get through.
... That guy's usually always on time, I don't know, sorta strange.
Let me read it some time.
No thanks. I'm fine.

...
You know, Hideo-kun, things have been... pretty strange recently, right?
Huh?

Mi-cha~n,
It's 6 o'clock so turn the TV on to channel 6.
SFX: Ji~ (stare)
Oh, okay.
Hey~ Sensei, you promised you wouldn't smoke in the workplace!
Yeah yeah...

[Anchor] Murata is out sick today so,
Oomori Akari
So I will be bringing you the news. And now, our top story.

What? Murata is out sick~?
And they picked that charmless Oomori to sub in? The fact that she's able to make everything easy to understand without making any mistakes just makes her even less cute.

This early morning at a little past 3 in the Nerima district at the Shakuji Park a Taxi struck a wom...
What!? That's right over there!!
A large amount of blood was left on the road, but the whereabouts of the woman remain unknown.
News: The taxi driver -- held by police

According to ongoing investigations, the taxi driver under suspect, Mr. Tamura, testified that,
"while I was calling the ambulance, the woman walked off somewhere", furthermore...

Hello? Kazu-sa~n, are you there?

Page 159
Well, that's all for today.
If we don't have Kazu-san's OK then we can't do anything else, so we've just got to sit tight.
What? Are you sure? What about the manuscript?

...
It sort of feels like they're never gonna give us a real deadline...

Ah, dammit, give it a break already,
I wish those two would stop having sex in the office...

W-wha? S-Sex?
T-those two?
Sfx: Ton Ton

I'm talking about Sensei and Mi-chan. He's got lipstick all over his damn neck.

... Oh, I didn't even know...

He~y Mi-chan, let's go take some pictures of the scene of the accident-.
Sorry, I've got some revisions to make to my storyboard...

Page 160
Cheers!
Sfx: Gacha Cha

Well, yeah I guess you could say we're like
... Uh, you know,
Mangaka in development... uh, we're the eggs, yeah!? Waiting to hatch!!
She's really cute...

Whoa~ That's cool!
What publisher are you drawing for?

Page 161

Huh? Oh, no, we...
I mean, hey, come on guys,
right?!

Huh... I'm an assistant... err.
Oh!
Suzuki-kun, he's had a published series.

Yeah mayne! This dude right here, he's got books out by a major publishing company,
Chougakkan, you probably heard of that!!
...I-It was only two books for a half a year...

Wow~ Awesome!
How much did you make from royalties?

... Well, you know, I was a new author and it wasn't really popular so... it didn't really get that many copies printed...
Hey, come on! Show some respect! Don't be bringing up cash money all of the sudden like that!!!

We're like, raw diamonds here!
Like prime real estate, untapped oil fields! Am I right, guys?!
... Uh,
Yeah, totally.

Page 162
How old did you guys say you were?

Oh, I'm 35...

He's 35.
Yeah, "prime" real estate, for sure.

I'm 28...
27.
25, I guess.

... God dammit, you're all over 30.
Sfx: Chi-

Sfx: Go- Go- Go

Well, I guess that's 'nuff for introductions!
Let's rotate seats!!
SFX: kyahahaha-
What~? But the girls haven't gone yet~
Shut those traps! Ya'll were 40 minutes late. We ain't got no time for no 2 hour course!!

Hideo-kun, I heard you met Nakata-san at the editing department?
He said your idea was really good and that you might have better
luck if you tried some other publisher. Maybe he could introduce

So, uh, like,
Huh? Were you, like, talking about something?

what's your pussy look like?
I've got reference books,
like a whole Encyclopedia Britannica of pussy! I can look it up for you.

... What~?

Page 164
Don't What~ me! Answer the question!
What would you do if I were the CIA?
Whoa! This guy is, like, seriously, freakin me out.

Hey guys, let's sing the pussy song!
Bm Tssh, here we go
Four twisted cunts, ah shit that hurts~!

Ugh, God, like, I can't believe this. Seriously.
... Uh, well, one of us lives far away so we aren't gonna make it in time for the last train so we're leaving.

Byebye.
Ah, yeah, later...

Page 165
The last train?
It's freakin' 9 o'clock.

But... damn,
That frigid looks that women give you if they don't think you're anything special really freaks me out.

They didn't even look at us like men. Nah man! They didn't even look at us like human!
Especially those two ugly bitches!!
Those two rank ass hoes never even came back from the bathroom.

And they started snortin' when I mentioned goin' dutch.
It's like, who the fuck would buy you dinner!?

Page 166
Don't fuckin' mess with me!!!

I've got the potential to make it big!!
If one of 'em sells a million copies, that's fuckin' fifty million yen. Fifty million!!!

You fuckin' dumb cunts,
enjoy shittin' all over guys while it lasts 'cause once you start packin' on those years it's gonna be a whole one-eighty. Don't you get it? You dumb-asses.

... You're being way too loud, man.
Hideo-kun, that's pathetic man, quit that shit!

Page 167
He was pounding those brews. Somethin' up with him? Well, I mean it was his fault that the girls left but...
I didn't know he had this in him. [Was Hideo-kun this kind of character?]

Had it in me!? I don't got shit!! [Character!? I don't have any character!!]
Whoa, Okay, I hear you.

Yeah, so what!? I'm like a minor character so whatever I draw is minor!!

I might be able to learn something from it!? Who the hell do you think you are!?
Don't show me you ex's freakin' storyboard and shit! I was serialized for a whole half-year, dammit!!

... The hell is he even talkin' about?
... beats me.

Sfx: Gu-

Dammit, am I just here to make Tekko and Nakata look good!?
Shit... I...

Page 168
Page 169

I don't have to be the hero, but I wanna at least be the main character of my own life.

Page 170
All right, I get it. I mean, I don't, but, I do.
Come on, get up. If you wanna be the main character, you just gonna keep drawin'.

... My storyboards were all rejected...

... Damn son,
shit like that happens everyday.

Come on, Hideo-kun.
I'll buy you some ramen, cheer up, bro!!
Know any good shops?
Owwwwwww
You sell that manga and the pussy will come to you!!
Hey, come on, watch your step, that's dangerous!

The way of manga's tha' way of the beast ya heard!?
Don't get lost on tha' precarious path, come wit' me!!

Yeah!!
