[00:03] Mom
    Yes, she seems to be getting by.
[00:05] Mom
    She was even acting as an assistant to
    one of her senpais the other day.
[00:09] Edit
    I see.
[00:10] ---
    I know she's determined,
    but she's just so weak emotionally.
[00:15] Edit
    What about with the others?
[00:17] ---
    Is she getting along with them?
[00:19] Mom
    Yes...
[00:20] Mom
    She's getting along with the other girls.
[00:22] ---
    She's totally fine.
[00:24] Mom
    Not to mention, it looks like
    they're going out today,
[00:28] ---
    to the art supply store.
[00:33] Koyume
    You're so cute with your hair up, Kaos-chan!
[00:36] Kaos
    Th-This is a first for me.
[00:38] Koyume
    It's my first time going
    to a big one, too!
[00:41] ---
    I'm so excited!
[00:42] Koyume
    Apparently there's a whole
    building that's an art supply store!
[00:43] Editor
    By themselves?
[00:45] Mom
    No... Tsubasa-chan and
    Ruki-chan will be with them.
[00:46] Kaos
    That sounds really intimidating..
[00:48] Tsub
    All right, let's go to the dungeon
    where the legendary item awaits!
[00:54] Edit
    I see. That's good to hear.
[00:55] Ruki
    Tsu-chan, no cosplaying today.
[00:58] ---
    Wear your normal clothes.
[01:02] Tsub
    All right, off we go!

    Okay!

    The city is scary...
[03:44] Kaos
    Um...
[03:45] Koyume
    Hm?
[03:47] Kaos
    The big book store...
[03:49] Kaos
    I'd like to go check it out.
[03:56] Kaos
    Is this whole place...

[04:14] Kaos
    Tsubasa-san's book?!
[04:18] Tsub
    Well... Yeah.
[04:19] Koyume
    That's amazing! It's on display face up!
[04:21] ---
    And it's even got a flashy pop ad!
[04:23] Kaos
    I-I-I-I'm so amazed!
[04:26] Kaos
    This is incredible, Tsubasa-san!
SIGN    New Volumes
[04:28] Koyume
    I'm going to buy some right now!
[04:30] Tsub
    What? But there are copies back at the dorm...
[04:33] Koyume
    No! It'd be pointless unless
    I bought them myself!
[04:35] Kaos
    Me, too!
[04:42] Ruki
    We're going to make another stop before
    we get to our final destination.
[04:48] Koyume
    Hey, this place...
[04:50] Kaos
    But I thought only high
    school girls could go in here!
[04:54] Ruki
    Kaos-chan, you're a high school girl, too.
[04:59] Tsub
    I want to hurry up and go
    to the art supply store.
[05:02] Ruki
    But you get so worked up while
    you're there that you get dizzy.
[05:06] Ruki
    We need to make sure you eat something first.
[05:09] Ruki
    Not to mention, we have first-timers with us.
[05:11] Tsub
    True.
[05:13] Koyume
    I love crêpes!
[05:17] Kaos
    There are so many menu
    choices just for crêpes?
[05:20] Koyume
    I personally recommend... This one!
[05:23] Kaos
    O-Okay....
[05:28] Kaos
    It's so cute...
[05:31] Kaos
    Am I really allowed to eat this?
[05:33] Koyume
    You want a bite of mine?
[05:36] Kaos
    I couldn't!
[05:38] Ruki
    What?
[05:42] Koyume
    Kaos-chan, you haven't eaten at all.
[05:45] Kaos
    I think my heart is full...
[05:48] Koyume
    Here. Say, "Aah."
[05:54] Kaos
    So good.
[05:57] Koyume
    Wow, it's so huge!
[06:01] Kaos
    This whole building is an art supply store?
[06:05] Ruki
    Well, they do carry stuff
    other than manga supplies.
[06:09] Ruki
    Is there something you'd like to buy?
[06:11] Kaos
    I'd like a complete set of supplies so
    I can help as an assistant at any time.
[06:15] Tsub
    All right, let's buy the necessities first.
[06:18] Ruki
    All right.
[06:19] Kaos
    I guess they're all used to this.
[06:21] Kaos
    I need to make sure I'm not
    the only one panicking.
[06:26] Koyume
    What's wrong, Tsubasa-san?!
    Wait! Please wait!
[06:29] Ruki
    Tsu-chan's always like that...
[06:31] Koyume
    Wow! There are so many things!
[06:33] Kaos
    I wonder where Tsubasa-san went.
[06:35] Koyume
    Oh, there she is.
[06:38] Tsub
    They have new products.
[06:39] ---
    I want to try them out.
[06:40] Koyume
    I've never seen Tsubasa-san's
    face look so sparkly!
[06:43] Ruki
    It happens once in a while.
[06:45] Ruki
    Like when she discovers a
    really interesting manga...
[06:48] (Flashback) Tsub
    Rukki! Rukki! Look, look, look!
[06:50] Ruki
    Or when we're at an autograph session
    for a manga artist she likes.
[06:54] Ruki
    Maybe you should calm down a bit.
[06:56] Koyume
    She loves manga so much, it's adorable!
[06:59] Tsub
    This looks cool,
[07:01] ---
    but it doesn't seem very practical.
[07:02] Koyume
    You look so cool with a quill!
[07:08] Koyume
    So cool!
[07:09] Kaos
    You look so strong!
[07:11] Tsuba
    I'm buying these.
[07:12] Ruki
    Tsu-chan's so hyper all of a sudden.
[07:14] Tsub
    That should be enough ink for a while.
[07:17] Tsub
    As for pen tips...
[07:19] ---
    This one.
[07:21] Koyume
    I'll get that one, too!
[07:23] Tsub
    Koyume, easy-to-use supplies
    differ from person to person.
[07:26] Koyume
    F-For me, I feel the most motivated
[07:30] ---
    when I use the same supplies as you.
[07:32] Tsub
    Want to try it?
[07:33] Koyume
    Yes!
[07:34] Tsub
    For blood splatters, if you go sploosh like this...
[07:38] Tsub
    it turns out pretty well.
[07:39] Koyume
    I see!
[07:40] ---
    Like this? Splash!
[07:42] Ruki
    Would you ever even use that in shojo manga?
[08:09] Ruki
    Ooh, there are new screen tones out.
[08:11] Koyume
    You're right! That one's really cute!
[08:13] Ruki
    Whenever they come out
    with new flower designs,
[08:15] ---
    I always end up buying them!
[08:18] Koyume
    For one piece dresses...
[08:21] Ruki
    For underwear...
[08:24] Both
    That's what I'll use it on!
[08:27] Ruki
    This looks like one you
    can use, Koyume-chan.
[08:29] Koyume
    You think so?
[08:32] Tsub
    This one's intense!
[08:33] Ruki
    That definitely fits Tsu-chan...
[08:39] Ruki
    That suits you way too much, Kaos-chan!
[08:42] Ruki
    There's a lot of nudity in my next
    manuscript, so I'll buy extra.
[08:46] Kaos
    Where are you going to use all of
    those sheets of bubbly splotches?
[08:51] Ruki
    Wh-Wh-Where?
[08:53] Ruki
    Th-The protagonist of my manga
    gets stung by bugs a lot!
[08:57] Kaos
    Way to go, Ruki-san!
[08:58] ---
    I see you're a stickler for reality!
[09:00] Tsub
    This is painful, Rukki.
[09:04] Koyume
    There are so many varieties
    of masking tape, too!
[09:09] Koyume
    So cute!
[09:10] Tsub
    They even have wide ones and thin ones.
[09:13] Ruki
    They're really convenient,
    so it doesn't hurt to have a lot.
[09:16] Ruki
    Oh, right.
[09:17] ---
    Kaos-chan, you don't use them
    since you draw digitally.
[09:20] Ruki
    Sorry, this probably doesn't make much sense.
[09:23] Kaos
    Oh, it's fine.
[09:24] Kaos
    Why are these useful?
[09:27] Tsub
    You can use them as hair ties... and stuff.
[09:29] Kaos
    Huh?! But that sounds like it'd hurt!
[09:33] Tsub
    I'm kidding.
[09:33] Koyume
    We use this to make sure our
    manuscript stays in place.
[09:40] Kaos
    They're really cute, so I
    think I'll buy some, too.
[09:42] Koyume
    Yeah!
[09:42] ---
    Let's choose some for everyone.
[09:44] Kaos
    This one with the donuts reminds
    me of you, Koyume-chan.
[09:47] Koyume
    Then this kitty one is for you, Kaos-chan.
[09:49] Koyume
    I think a bird design would suit Tsubasa-san.
[09:51] Koyume
    For Ruki-san, something sexy, like
    leopard print or high heels.
[09:55] Koyume
    Oh, this one with the
    kiss marks is good, too.
[09:57] Ruki
    Just choose some cute ones for me, too!
[10:00] Kid 1
    I think this pen will work.
[10:01] Kid 2
    I'm not really sure.
[10:04] Kid 1
    Isn't this it?
[10:06] Tsub
    Are you drawing manga for the first time?
[10:07] Kid 1
    Huh? Yes.
[10:09] Tsub
    This pen isn't for beginners,
[10:11] ---
    so you should pick this one instead.
[10:13] Both
    Tsubasa-san is so kind!
[10:15] Kid 1
    Wait, are you manga artists?
[10:19] Ruki
    Yes, though we're new.
[10:24] Kid 1
    Hopefully you can grow up
    to be a manga artist, too.
[10:27] Kid 2
    Let's all work hard!
[10:29] Kaos
    R-Right!
[10:34] Kaos
    You bought a lot, Koyume-chan.
[10:37] Koyume
    I ended up using most of my allowance.
[10:40] Lady
    That comes to 2,850 yen.
[10:42] Koyume
    Huh?
[10:43] Koyume
    Oh...
[10:45] ---
    I bought Tsubasa-san's books and a crêpe...
[10:47] Kaos
    You don't have enough?
[10:50] Koyume
    Maybe I'll give up on the masking tape.
[10:53] Tsub
    Oh, I'll buy it, then.
[10:55] Koyume
    Huh?
[10:56] Tsub
    You helped me with my manuscript
    the other day, so...
[10:58] Koyume
    But that was for my own education...
[11:00] Tsub
    Don't worry about it.
[11:01] ---
    You, too, Kaos.
[11:04] Koyume
    So cool!
[11:06] Kaos
    So mature!
[11:17] Kaos
    The art supply store was so much fun...
[11:20] Kaos
    And somehow I feel...
[11:23] Kaos
    that I should work harder.
[11:34] Kaos
    It's morning...
[11:35] Koyume
    We ended up talking all night.
[11:41] Ruki
    I think I might sleep a bit.
[11:44] Ann
    Now that Golden Week is over,
[11:46] ---
    there should be a lot of people
    heading back to work and school.

[11:49] Ann
    I hope people aren't being
    affected by the May blues.

    My new school uniform is so cute!

    I feel like a manga protagonist.
[12:10] Tsub
    You ready?
[12:15] Ruki
    Oh, Kaos-chan, your uniform is so cute.
[12:18] Kaos
    No, no. I'm just a background character!
[12:20] ---
    I got ahead of myself!
[12:20] Ruki
    Wait, what, Kaos-chan?!
[12:23] Koyume
    I'm late! I'm late!
[12:27] Kaos
    Everything about her is a shojo manga.
[12:38] Ruki
    By the way, you two are basically
    transfer students, right?
[12:42] Kaos
    Yes. I'm so nervous.
[12:50] Girl 1
    Tsubasa-chan, you're as cool as ever.
[12:53] Girl 2
    That T-shirt is so
    fashionable and lovely.
[12:55] Tsub
    Thanks.
[12:57] Koyume
    I knew Tsubasa-san would be popular!
[13:00] Ruki
    Tsu-chan, did you always
    have that T-shirt?
[13:03] Tsub
    This morning,
[13:05] Tsub
    I spilled ink all over it.
[13:06] Ruki
    Go and get changed!
[13:09] Kaos
    Do you keep the fact that you draw
    manga a secret from everyone at school?
[13:13] Ruki
    Yeah.
[13:13] ---
    It'd be embarrassing if anyone
    spread rumors about me.
[13:16] Ruki
    I mean... considering
    the kind of manga I draw...
[13:19] Ruki
    It'd be a huge deal if people found out.
[13:20] Girl 3
    Hey, that's Ruki-san from class 1!
[13:22] Girl 3
    She's really pretty,
    but hard to approach.
[13:25] Girl 3
    She always seems busy after school
    and I don't think she gets enough sleep.
[13:28] Girl 4
    I heard that she has a sketchy job...
[13:31] Girl 3
    Yeah, I can totally see that.
[13:35] Kaos
    Um... Are you sure
    people haven't found out?
[13:37] Ruki
    They haven't found out!
[13:38] ---
    And I'm not sketchy!
SIGN    Faculty Room

    What's wrong?

    You don't need to think
    too hard about it.

    It'll be over in no time.
[13:53] Koyume
    Not to mention,

    I'll be there with you, so you'll be fine.

    Yeah,

    we're with you, too.

    Huh?
[14:03] Kaos
    Huh?
[14:03] Koyume
    Huh?!
[14:05] Tsub
    So you though we were older?
[14:07] Ruki
    Because we look old?
[14:08] Both
    No, no, no, no!
[14:10] Ruki
    Anyway, now you don't need
    to be so formal with us.

    Hurry up and get to class!

    That goes for you two, as well.
[14:35] Ruki
    That's our homeroom teacher, Nijino-sensei.
[14:37] ---
    She's rather strict, despite how she looks.
[14:39] Ruki
    See? Scary, right?
[14:41] Kaos
    I want to be scolded by the
    beautiful teacher, too...
[14:44] Ruki
    Really?!
[14:47] Koyume
    Okay, Kaos-chan, let's go!
[14:49] Ruki
    Oh, Koyume-chan,
    you're in a different class.
[14:52] Koyume
    Huh?

    It's nice to meet you all.
[16:05] Tsub
    Is she okay?
[16:07] Ruki
    Her seat's far away, so I'm worried.
[16:16] Tsub
    She froze up holding a screen tone hera.
[16:18] Ruki
    Oh...
[16:19] ---
    She must've brought her
    pen case for assistant work.

    What's that?

    Now she's holding
    it like Prince Shotoku!

    are to watch or read anime*

    Who are your favorite celebrities?

    Do voice actors count as celebrities?
[16:56] ---
    How about characters from idol anime?!
[16:57] Girl 5
    Hey, what about fashion?
[16:59] ---
    What styles do you like?

    Fashion?! Do you mean cosplay?!

    Hearing that makes me really happy.
[18:19] Kaos
    I appreciate the sentiment, but,
    um, wouldn't that be a bother?
[18:23] Ruki
    Of course not!
[18:25] Kaos
    But, but... Aren't I being a bur—
[18:27] Ruki
    It's fine! You can definitely ask more of me!
[18:31] Kaos
    I'm sorry.
[18:32] ---
    The way you said that is a bit lewd, Ruki-san.
[18:35] Tsub
    Hey.
[18:35] Tsub
    I don't think you have to force
    yourself to talk to people.
[18:38] Kaos
    Huh?
[18:39] Tsub
    You'll only be able to meet this many
    people while you're in school.
[18:44] Tsub
    Just think of it as people watching
    for creating manga.
[18:51] Girl
    But it's like, how much should you really eat, right?
[18:54] Girl
    Yeah.
[18:54] Girl
    It's all you can eat.
[18:57] Kaos
    I was told in a survey before...
[19:01] Kaos
    "I've never seen such an unrealistic
    high school girl in my life.
[19:05] Kaos
    The author should try to
    observe reality a little more."
[19:09] Kaos
    I think that's because
[19:10] ---
    I've always been so scared to step foot
[19:14] ---
    into the world of normal high school girls.
[19:18] Kaos
    Right...
[19:20] ---
    If I think of it as people watching
    for the sake of creating manga...
[19:26] Kaos
    Thank you.
[19:28] Kaos
    I think I can be more
    positive about it now.
[19:33] Tsub
    And I never have to worry about
    the variety of my enemy characters!
[19:35] Kaos
    Whoa! So macho!
[19:38] Kaos
    People watching?
[19:44] Kaos
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[19:46] Koyume
    Kaos-chan!
[19:48] Koyume
    I was so lonely without you!
[19:50] Kaos
    Me, too, Koyume-chan!
[19:52] Girl
    Bye-bye, Koyume-chin.
[19:54] Koyume
    See you tomorrow!
[19:58] Kaos
    I'm sorry...
[19:59] Kaos
    For a moment, I thought that
    we might be the same...
[20:02] Koyume
    Don't look so sad!
[20:04] Ruki
    You make friends pretty fast, Koyume-chan.
[20:08] Ruki
    I'm a little jealous that you look
    like you're having so much fun.
[20:10] Tsub
    What were you guys talking about?
[20:12] Koyume
    I never had a chance to hear about
    relationships from girls who have boyfriends.
[20:15] ---
    I think it'll help with my manga.
[20:17] Ruki
    I see.
[20:18] Tsub
    That's good.
[20:20] Koyume
    Yes!
[20:21] ---
    I got to hear all kinds
    of specific stories.
[20:24] Ruki
    Sorry we couldn't be of much help with that...
[20:28] Tsub
    Yeah, sorry...
[20:30] Koyume
    No!
[20:31] ---
    You two don't need to get sad, too!
[20:41] Kaos
    So you didn't tell people at school
[20:44] ---
    that you were a manga
    artist, either, Koyume-chan?
[20:46] Koyume
    I want to be a normal
    high school girl at school.
[20:49] Kaos
    Yeah, that's what I thought, too.
[20:52] Kaos
    I want to make a lot of
    memories wearing this uniform.
[20:56] Koyume
    Yeah.
[20:57] ---
    Not to mention, we can all talk
    about manga back at the dorm,
[21:00] Koyume
    and that's a lot of fun, too.
[21:02] Kaos
    I'm really glad that
    I joined the dorm, too.
[21:18] Kaos
    Nice to meet you.
[21:26] Ruki
    She's quick to make friends with animals.
[21:29] Koyume
    Yeah.
[21:30] Tsub
    That's a talent.
[21:41] Kaos
    You're so nervous...
[21:42] ---
    You must've been through
    some really scary things.
[21:48] Kaos
    You're such a failure!
[21:53] Koyume
    Kaos-chan...
[21:55] Tsub
    ...is holding a kitten
    that looks just like her...
[21:57] Ruki
    The cuteness is unbearable!
[23:30] Koyume
    You're so cute, Kaos-chan!
[23:32] Some
    Lovely!
[23:33] Some
    You're cute, too!
[23:34] Purple
    Now I'm really getting into it!
