It takes longer when it includes bonuses.

**[03:11] Sensei**
Oh, sorry... I haven't
slept in several days...
**[03:15] Umio**
You haven't slept?
**[03:21] Hiotan**
It's jammed...
**[03:22] Umio**
I'll take a look.

Let's see...
**[03:25] Umio**
Oh, the film is jammed.
**[03:29] Umio**
I'm not sure I can get it out...
**[03:34] Director**
Hiotan.
**[03:35] Hiotan**
Yes?

A moment.

Right?
**[04:08] Hiotan**
You think she...

Go talk to her.
**[04:14] Hiotan**
Okay!
**[04:18] Hiotan**
Excuse me, ma'am...
**[04:20] Hiotan**
Are you, um...
**[04:23] Hiotan**
an ero book lover?!
**[04:28] Director**
I'm very sorry. Is there
anything we can help you with?

Pleased to meet you. This is who I am.

***SIGN*** Tokyo Youth Development Counselor
**[04:37] Hiotan**
"Tokyo Youth Development Counselor"?
**[04:41] Director**
Also known as an Ero Books G-man.
**[04:43] Hiotan**
Huh?! Ero Books G-man? What's that?
**[04:46] Director**
She's a government worker who
visits unannounced to make sure
**[04:50] Director**
adult books are properly
separated from others,
**[04:52] Director**
and that they can't be
read within the store.
**[04:54] Hiotan**
If you knew that, you should've told me!
**[04:57] Gman**
These two.
**[04:58] Gman**
These two magazines have been
designated by law to be adult-only.
**[05:03] Gman**
Please take the appropriate measures.
**[05:05] Director**
If that's the case...
**[05:07] Director**
A seal to prevent reading in-store!
**[05:10] Director**
We just put this here.
**[05:12] Director**
Is this all right?
**[05:14] Gman**
That will be fine.
**[05:15] Director**
Okay, all of you...
**[05:17] Director**
Umio, Hiotan, and Sommelier, place seals
to prevent in-store reading on all these.
**[05:21] Umio**
Wow.
**[05:22] Hiotan**
That's a lot.
**[05:23] Gman**
Thank you for your cooperation.
**[05:33] Kameko**
Sommelier-san, it's just
about time to get ready.
**[05:38] Hiotan**
Oh, right. You have a sommelier party today.
**[05:41] Umio**
What's a sommelier party?
**[05:43] Hiotan**
You haven't seen it yet, Umi-chan?
**[05:45] Hiotan**
Let's go together later.
**[05:47] Hiotan**
It's in the event space on the sixth floor.
**[05:49] Umio**
Okay.
**[05:50] Umio**
But a lot of the people here at
Uma have strange nicknames...
**[05:55] Umio**
Like Sommelier-san, and Director...
**[05:57] Hiotan**
Director? That's...
**[06:01] Hiotan**
N-N-N-N-N—
**[06:03] Hiotan**
Because he likes to make unusual movies...
**[06:06] Umio**
Oh?
**[06:07] Hiotan**
Hey, Umi-chan... What does BL stand for?
**[06:11] Umio**
BL stands for "boys' love."
**[06:16] Director**
Senpai, do you like those
sorts of magazines?
**[06:19] Hiotan**
N-No, that's not...
**[06:21] Director**
Wow, I had no idea you liked BL.
**[06:23] Hiotan**
I-I don't...
**[06:24] Director**
Do you pair up your coworkers
in your mind and stuff, too?
**[06:28] Hiotan**
No, I...
***SIGN*** KamSom
**[06:29] Director**

***SIGN*** KamSom

***SIGN*** SomKam
**[06:32] Hiotan**
Director?!
**[06:34] Director**
Oh, you noticed?
**[06:34] Hiotan**
What are you doing?!
**[06:36] Director**
With a boy and a girl alone in a room,
**[06:38] Director**
putting seals on erotic books...
**[06:41] Director**
There's no way something wouldn't happen.
**[06:42] Umio**
What are you talking about?
**[06:44] Director**
Thanks to that, I have a rich
collection of funny Hiotan videos.
**[06:47] Hiotan**
Don't collect those!
**[06:52] Hiotan**
Hey, Umi-chan...
**[06:54] Umio**
Yes?
**[06:54] Hiotan**
Do you enjoy books like these?
**[06:59] Hiotan**
* Operation: Turn Director's*

***SIGN*** Pleasure Paradise

I like this sort of thing, I guess.
**[07:13] Hiotan**
Oh! I see!
**[07:24] Umio**
Wh-Why did you ask me that?
**[07:28] Hiotan**
Um...
**[07:29] Hiotan**
J-Just for reference...
**[07:32] Both**
*Reference for what?!*
**[07:35] Umio**
S-Senpai, do you...
**[07:37] Umio**
dislike erotic books?
**[07:39] Hiotan**
Huh? No, not really.
**[07:42] Umio**
Oh? So you like them?
**[07:45] Hiotan**
Y-Yeah! So you and I are
both ero book lovers!
**[07:52] Both**
*What's an ero book lover?!*
**[07:57] Director**
Hey, did something happen? C'mon, tell me!
**[07:59] Umio**
No, nothing!
**[08:02] Director**
That tastes like a lie.

It was released during

You know about this, Umio?
**[11:48] Umio**
Yes! I like Jonataro, so I look
up his stuff online all the time.
**[11:53] Umio**
He's very good, isn't he?
**[11:55] Umio**
I've bought some doujinshi, too.
They're all interesting.
**[11:58] Director**
Yeah?
**[11:59] Umio**
And he's so young!

Hear that, Sensei?
**[12:07] Director**
Sensei is Jonataro-san.
**[12:09] Umio**
What?!

You are? I thought the author was a guy!
**[12:14] Sensei**

Sensei, you're so forward.
**[13:10] Kameko**
Sensei's a wolf!
**[13:12] Sensei**
Oh, I don't mean it like that.
**[13:14] Sensei**
I want him to help with my manuscript.

Yes! I'll be helping her, too!
**[13:19] Director**
Oh? But Umio-kun says he
likes Jonataro-sensei.
**[13:23] Umio**
I like her art! Her work!
**[13:30] Umio**
When is the deadline for your manuscript?
**[13:35] Sensei**
Tomorrow.
**[13:36] Umio**
Tomorrow?!
**[13:36] Sensei**
Ten in the morning.
**[13:38] Hiotan**
Ten in the morning?!
**[13:39] Sensei**
It was supposed to be today,
**[13:41] Sensei**
but I begged the printers for an extension.
**[13:44] Sensei**
So... please!
**[13:46] Umio**
You don't...
**[13:49] Hiotan**
Oh, my.
**[13:51] Umio**
You don't have to be so formal.
If I can be of use...
**[13:54] Sensei**
You're a big help.
**[13:58] Umio**
Wow...
**[14:00] Umio**

*So this is a real manuscript...*

*It has such impact...*
**[14:58] Umio**
*Sensei-san really is aiming to be a pro.*
**[15:02] Umio**
* She's exhausted from lack of*
* sleep, but she never complains.*
**[15:12] Sensei**
I can't take any more!
I'm tired! I want sleep!
**[15:16] Sensei**
I can't draw anymore!
**[15:18] Hiotan**
Her baby side came out again!
**[15:20] Umio**
*I take it all back.*
**[15:23] Hiotan**
She always gets like this
when she's worn out.
**[15:26] Umio**
What do we do now?
**[15:28] Hiotan**
Don't worry!
**[15:31] Hiotan**
What's wrong, Sensei-chan?
**[15:34] Hiotan**
C'mon, come over here.
**[15:40] Hiotan**
There, there.
**[15:42] Hiotan**
You like resting on people's laps, huh?
**[15:47] Umio**
That motherly aura...
**[15:49] Umio**
You're used to dealing with
Sensei-san, aren't you?
**[15:52] Hiotan**
I've been helping her for a while.
**[15:55] Hiotan**
She taught me how to finish up a manga.
**[16:01] Hiotan**
There! She's back.
**[16:04] Sensei**
I'll draw my manga.
**[16:05] Hiotan**
Good girl!
**[16:07] Sensei**
It's almost time for the
last train, so you can go.
**[16:10] Umio**
Are you sure?
**[16:12] Sensei**
Yeah. I can do the rest by myself.
**[16:19] Hiotan**
What's up, Umi-chan?
The train's gonna leave.
**[16:22] Umio**
Uh, it looks like I left
my phone at Sensei's.
**[16:25] Hiotan**
What?
**[16:26] Umio**
But I can walk home, so you can go ahead.
**[16:29] Hiotan**
Okay... See you tomorrow, then.
**[16:32] Umio**
Good work today.
**[16:41] Sensei**
*Hello? Umio-kun?*
**[16:43] Umio**
Sensei, don't you think you
might not make the deadline?
**[16:48] Sensei**
*That's a rude thing to say.*
**[16:50] Umio**
Oh, I'm sorry... I mean...
**[16:53] Umio**
So, I'll help you some more.
**[16:56] Sensei**
*What? I couldn't trouble you to...*
**[16:59] Umio**
It's okay! I'm used to staying up late!
**[17:01] Umio**
Besides, I...
**[17:08] Umio**
Sensei-san...
**[17:11] Umio**
I love Jonataro-san's manga!

**[17:26] Umio**
Ah, sorry to just burst in...
**[17:28] Sensei**
Oh, no... I'm sorry you had
to see me like this...
**[17:33] Umio**
*You looked worse earlier, actually.*
**[17:37] Sensei**
That's right. I'm going to be a
pro manga artist, no matter what.
**[17:41] Sensei**
This will take until morning. Is that okay?
**[17:43] Umio**
Yes!
**[17:44] Sensei**
Thanks. Sorry I worried you.
**[17:47] Sensei**
I'm okay now!
**[17:49] Sensei**
I can't take any more!
**[17:51] Sensei**
I can't draw! This will never end!
**[17:53] Umio**
She's not okay at all!
**[17:55] Umio**
I know! How about a change of pace?
**[17:57] Umio**
Are you hungry?
**[17:59] Sensei**
Yes...
**[18:00] Umio**
Then I'll go buy something!
**[18:02] Sensei**
No, I'll do that.
**[18:04] Umio**
You can't. You need to keep drawing.
**[18:06] Sensei**
But I couldn't ask you to—
**[18:08] Umio**
You can't!
**[18:09] Umio**
You're a girl, Sensei-san.
**[18:11] Umio**
It's dangerous for you to
be out alone at this hour.
**[18:15] Umio**
I'll be back soon.
