Jeez~
You really freaked me out~
Text me or something if you're gonna drop by~

Here you go, some water.
Y-yeah!

You don't go out drinking all that often.
Was it with the other assistants?
... Yeah, something like that...

Hmmm...

It wasn't a group mixer or anything was it?
Bphht!!
N-n

No-way-kiss!

Page 176
But, uh,
why were you crying like that?

Uh, well, I love Murata Kazumasa and whenever I watch him I end up in tears without noticing it .

Huh? Why?
I wonder... He doesn't look like anything like my late father or something. But he's super cool~!

Did you eat a lot when you were out drinking? Or should I make you some yakisoba?
Yay~! Yakisoba!!

Ah,

No, I can't do this. I mustn't run away.

So, so,
didja read Nakata's storyboard?

... No, not yet...

Aw, that's too bad. You _have_ been pretty busy with work.
I wanted to hear what you thought about it.

If you have some free time give it a look. It's really good.
... yeah, sure...
Sfx: Mogu Mogu (chewing)

Well, anyways, did you read my text?

Page 179
Sfx: Zu-Zu- *slurp slurp.
... Nope, not yet.

Why nawwt? You should read your text messages~! It was pretty important, you know.

Sfx: Gatu- Gatu-
You bumped into Nakata-san at the editing department, right?

And Nakata-san,
he said your storyboard was really good, right?

He said that editing department is pretty strict but that you'd definitely be able to get it green lit with others.
He said that he'd introduce you to some other publishing companies. Don't you think that's great?!

Oh, yeah.

This is completely unrelated but, you know that big tree we were talking about before?
Today when I was near there this little elementry school girl suddenly jumped out at me and...

Urghh!

GOD DAMMIT I REALLY HATE THAT HIPSTER FUCK!!! [subculture asshole]
NAKATA THIS, NAKATA THAT, I AM GETTING SO SICK OF IT, WOMAN!!!

Those indie shits wringing every last bit out of that "it's so bad it's good" bullshit,
or just not even giving a crap about making the effort to improve. They might get away with it 'cause they can just call it "personal style,"
but they're just foolin' themselves! And you know what's worse? They're just using manga as a stepping stone so they can do movies, appear on tv, or pretend to be pundits.

They don't freakin' care about drawing manga, they just want to be called "cultured"!!
All they see manga as is some tool to be used to make themselves look better!!

Page 182
And you know what else!? As far as those shits are concerned, they've all gone to college, they're smarter, they know more, they work out, they play the guitar, you know, girls love them.

I mean, come on! There's no freakin' necessity for those guys to draw manga!!!
Everyone already loves them!!

They've got
EVERYTHING!!! [there's nothing they don't have]

And you expect me?
Little old _ME_ to win against _them_!?

Page 183
There's no way
I'd even have a shot!

You guys can do whatever you want!!
You don't have to draw mangaaaaa!
Manga's all I've got. I'm beggin' you, don't take that away from me... I've got nothing else.

The head of the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare suddenly hospitalized.

Hmm, they said he's in critical condition.

... Huh? Hideo-kun why are you being so quiet?
Is your stomach upset? Did the pork already go bad?

Hey, Hideo-kun?

Yajima...
That's right.

Hate to be the one to break it to you but that was all in your head, she couldn't hear any of it. [they were all the yells from your heart]

Page 185
Hideo-kun, what's really going on? I'm really dense so I can't figure it out on my own.

Did I say something wrong? [Did I say something you didn't like?]

Please tell me, I'll do my best to fix my faults.
You always just keep it all bottled-up inside.

Page 186
You're not s-still...
g-getting dickings from N-nakata, are you...?
C-cause... I don't want his... s-sloppy seconds... [I don't want to be hole brothers]

... You're the only one,
giving them to me now.
