Why can't a manga written by a yokai
earn an award?
[00:22] ---
Wh-Who's there?
[00:30] ---
The world you see isn't all there is.
[00:34] ---
There are things you can't see.
[00:37] ---
See? In the darkness behind you...

CHAPTER 81
[02:55] ---
HOT BLOODED MANGA ARTIST
THE YOKAI HIDERIGAMI
[03:00] ---
Hmm. This is entertaining.
[03:03] ---
Isn't it?!
[03:04] ---
Especially the faces in the second panel
on Page 3, and the Page 16, 17 spread!
[03:09] ---
Yes.
[03:10] ---
So? What else did you like?
[03:12] ---
Bring on the compliments! I can handle it!
[03:16] ---
HIDERIGAMI
[03:19] ---
A-Anyways, why did you suddenly
decide to draw manga?
[03:24] ---
Suddenly? It wasn't suddenly.
[03:27] ---
I've been interested in manga since
the days of Hokusai.
[03:31] ---
After over a century of reading,
I got so into them I had to draw my own.
[03:38] ---
Once I drew this, I figured I wanted
a lot of people to read it.
[03:43] ---
Aren't you here to ask me something?
[03:47] ---
Oh, right. Actually...
[03:49] ---
A monster!
[03:50] ---
I went to a bunch of publishers
to see if I could get it in a magazine,
[03:56] ---
but nobody would even read my manuscript.
[04:00] ---
Kitaro, could you hand in
my manuscript for me?
[04:04] ---
Me?
[04:06] ---
Since you look more like a human.
[04:09] ---
You won't be able to maintain
a lie like that for long.
[04:14] ---
They'll eventually find out
it's a yokai writing it.
[04:18] ---
So what then?
[04:20] ---
I-If it happens it happens!
I'll figure something out!
[04:24] ---
Come on! I'm begging you!
[04:26] ---
We're both yokai. We're kinsmen!
[04:32] ---
Yokai and humans
should keep their distance.
[04:40] ---
Hmph! Acting like
it's doomed from the start.
[04:44] ---
You coward!
[04:46] ---
"Coward", is it?
[04:50] ---
Yokai and humans.
It would be great if it all works out.
[04:55] ---
But Kitaro's been forced to face reality
more than you realize.
[05:08] ---
A monster!
[05:24] ---
Honestly. Can you believe
that's our editor in chief?
[05:30] ---
What an embarrassment.
[05:34] ---
Hand it over.
[05:37] ---
A newcomer bringing in
a hand-drawn manuscript?
[05:41] ---
How very analog.
[05:47] ---
This manga is trash.
[05:51] ---
Go home.
[05:58] ---
The faces in the second panel on Page 3...
[06:01] ---
Plus the page 16, 17 spread...
[06:05] ---
At least those weren't bad.
[06:08] ---
R-Right?!
[06:09] ---
I'll be your editor.
[06:11] ---
Huh?
[06:13] ---
Are you sure?
[06:14] ---
About what?
[06:16] ---
Can't you see I'm a yokai?
[06:19] ---
There are only
two types of manga in the world.
[06:23] ---
Manga that entertain
and manga that don't.
[06:27] ---
The artist's appearance doesn't matter.
[06:31] ---
My edits are ruthless.
You sure you're up for this?
[06:36] ---
Y-Yeah!
[06:39] ---
I'm Sumitomi, the vice editor in chief.
[06:42] ---
I'm Hiderigami.
[06:51] ---
You've set your eyes on a good business.
[06:54] ---
Everywhere publishing is in a slump,
but manga is still going strong.
[06:59] ---
All the dramas and movies
are adaptations of manga.
[07:02] ---
I'm sure everyone involved
is raking it in.
[07:06] ---
Sensei! Allow me to be your manager!
[07:46] ---
No.
[07:48] ---
I thought I fixed where you told me to.
[07:52] ---
You didn't.
[07:54] ---
What is the protagonist thinking?
What is he feeling?
[07:59] ---
His motivations don't
reach the reader at all.
[08:04] ---
You've got one week.
Put your soul into it this time.
[08:11] ---
No.
[08:13] ---
Dammit!
[08:15] ---
No.
[08:18] ---
No!
[08:23] ---
You know what? I bet he's being mean
because you're a yokai.
[08:28] ---
Sumitomi isn't like that.
[08:30] ---
Are you sure?
[08:32] ---
You know, you could always
upload it directly to the internet.
[08:36] ---
The internet?
[08:37] ---
Bypassing the editor and hitting readers
with what creators really want to draw...
[08:43] ---
That's how you really
move readers these days.
[08:54] ---
Hey!
[08:55] ---
I've set up a manga site!
You're always welcome to publish there!
[08:59] ---
We're both yokai! As kinsmen
let's work together!
[09:04] ---
One more time.
[09:08] ---
Just one more time!
[09:14] ---
Is it because I'm a yokai?
[09:18] ---
Because I'm...
[09:20] ---
Stop making me say it!
[09:23] ---
It's because you're not conveying
the protagonist's motivations.
[09:31] ---
How can I?! I'm a yokai!
[09:33] ---
How am I supposed to know
the motivations of a human?!
[09:38] ---
I warned him!
[09:40] ---
Wait, Kitaro!
[09:41] ---
But Dad...!
[09:42] ---
Just wait!
[09:50] ---
A series?
[09:52] ---
Don't be ridiculous.
[09:54] ---
Why not, Chief?
[09:56] ---
He's a yokai!
[09:58] ---
What about it?
[09:59] ---
Readers will never take to a manga
written by a monster!
[10:03] ---
And what if you anger him
and he goes berserk?
[10:07] ---
You'd be risking your life.
[10:10] ---
When facing an artist,
an editor is always risking his life!
[10:15] ---
Listen to me, Chief.
[10:18] ---
We're not just
shuffling around papers here.
[10:21] ---
This is a clash of souls!
[10:25] ---
Enough of your excuses!
Just publish my manga! Otherwise...!
[10:30] ---
So you can't understand
how a human protagonist feels?
[10:33] ---
So what if I can't?!
[10:35] ---
So a human artist can't draw
a manga about a yokai protagonist?
[10:41] ---
A female artist can't draw
a manga with a male protagonist?
[10:45] ---
There are tons of such masterpieces!
[10:49] ---
Shut up!
[10:54] ---
There's nothing a manga artist...
[10:57] ---
There's nothing that you can't draw!
[11:08] ---
You've got one week.
[11:11] ---
Put your soul into it this time.
[11:19] ---
"Yokai and humans
should keep their distance."
[11:23] ---
Kitaro, perhaps the day when
you won't have to say that is approaching.

I'm having so much fun I'm dying here.
[12:11] ---
Here's something better than
an energy drink.
[12:16] ---
This is...?!
[12:17] ---
Yeah.
[12:18] ---
Rocket-Men has been nominated for
the Japan Comic Award!
[12:23] ---
The Japan Comic Award?!
[12:29] ---
KITARO WILL SUPPORT TOO!
[12:32] ---
HIDERIGAMI
[12:34] ---
-"We're pals, right?"
-"Fwish!"
[12:37] ---
-WHO IS POPULAR MANGA ARTIST HIDERIN?
-DEBUT ARTIST'S 200-MILLION-COPY HIT!!
[12:40] ---
-TOP PICK FOR JAPAN COMIC AWARD
-PUBLISHER HIDES HIDERIN'S IDENTITY
[12:43] ---
-NO INTERVIEWS
-WE WILL INVESTIGATE AUTHOR'S IDENTITY
[12:52] ---
The Japan Comic Award is
an award with history and authority.
[12:57] ---
A newcomer being nominated is unheard of.
[13:01] ---
Even if I get the award,
I can't go to the award ceremony.
[13:07] ---
My identity's a secret.
[13:09] ---
Your manga will grasp
the hearts of many readers,
[13:13] ---
and eventually win a huge award.
[13:16] ---
I knew it from the start.
[13:19] ---
Didn't I tell you when you debuted?
[13:21] ---
Hiding your identity is pointless and
will be more trouble than it's worth.
[13:27] ---
So, why don't you take this opportunity to
reveal that you're a yokai?
[13:33] ---
Huh?
[13:34] ---
If people find out a yokai is writing it,
I'm sure the manga will lose popularity.
[13:39] ---
That's what scares me.
[13:41] ---
Tell me, Kitaro, what should I do?
[13:49] ---
I'm sorry that
I called you a coward back then.
[13:56] ---
Yokai and humans should keep their...
[14:00] ---
Hiderigami.
[14:03] ---
Yokai and humans can find
a happy ending together.
[14:08] ---
It doesn't happen often.
[14:10] ---
But... it happens.
[14:12] ---
I've seen it happen before
with my own eye.
[14:18] ---
So...
[14:27] ---
I am Hiderin.
[14:30] ---
The manga artist Hiderin is me,
the yokai Hiderigami.
[14:35] ---
How dare he!
[14:38] ---
A-A yokai manga artist?!
[14:41] ---
Don't you think
you've betrayed your readers?!
[14:45] ---
This world has only manga that entertain
and manga that don't.
[14:51] ---
The artist's appearance doesn't matter.
[14:56] ---
Am I wrong?
[14:57] ---
Everyone out there reading my manga!
[15:01] ---
-Being a yokai doesn't change your manga!
-I love Rocket-Men*!
[15:05] ---
-I'll continue to support you!
-We're with you!
[15:11] ---
To manga.
[15:13] ---
Yeah. To manga.
[15:24] ---
We're from the police.
[15:26] ---
Could you open up?
[15:31] ---
Decline the Japan Comic Award nomination?!
[15:35] ---
Why?!
[15:37] ---
Surely you've heard
[15:39] ---
about the illegal site that's been
making a profit by uploading manga.
[15:44] ---
COMIC BIBIBI.com FREE!!
[15:44] ---
The owner's been arrested.
[15:46] ---
They're announcing the details in
tomorrow's news, but...
[15:46] ---
READ TOP COMICS ANYTIME
WITH BIBIBI POINTS!!
[15:50] ---
the culprit's a yokai.
[15:53] ---
What does that have to do with this?!
[15:56] ---
The author of Rocket-Men is also a yokai!
[16:00] ---
He's not the same! He's a different yokai!
[16:02] ---
A yokai is a yokai.
That's how the public will see it.
[16:05] ---
If we're doing business... manga business
with a yokai, how will that look?
[16:10] ---
From a risk standpoint...
[16:12] ---
This is ridiculous!
[16:13] ---
I told you I was against
publishing a series.
[16:17] ---
Besides, the Comic Award
has tradition and authority.
[16:21] ---
Don't you think having a monster win it
is a mockery?!
[16:28] ---
We're declining the award
and cancelling the series.
[16:31] ---
We'll recall his books...
[16:33] ---
I've had enough!
I'm taking this up with the president!
[16:37] ---
You think this is a unilateral decision?
[16:43] ---
The president and all the other executives
share my opinion.
[16:52] ---
Forgive me!
[16:53] ---
I'll quit my job and start up
a new manga magazine somewhere.
[16:57] ---
It'll take a while,
but you can write a new series there...
[17:03] ---
Sumitomi.
[17:05] ---
Thank you for saying that for me.
[17:09] ---
But you don't have to quit anything.
[17:12] ---
Hiderigami?
[17:14] ---
I'm the only one who should quit.
[17:17] ---
Quit?!
[17:19] ---
You're not...!
[17:20] ---
I got to dream the dream.
[17:23] ---
It's a shame it ended like this,
but I regret nothing.
[17:30] ---
Don't!
[17:43] ---
You fool.
[17:45] ---
Things aren't that simple
for guys like us.
[17:50] ---
Not when we've already
poured our souls in this.
[18:07] ---
WHAT'S WRONG WITH EATING IN THE BATHROOM?
WINS JAPAN COMIC AWARD
[18:10] ---
ROCKET-MEN
[18:25] ---
Why?
[18:35] ---
Why can't a manga written by a yokai
earn an award?
[18:44] ---
Wh-Who's there?
[18:53] ---
A-Are you with Hiderigami?!
[18:56] ---
Manga is a culture built by us humans!
[19:00] ---
It's your own fault for
waltzing into our culture uninvited!
[19:05] ---
Why shouldn't we discriminate
between humans and non-humans?!
[19:14] ---
Kitaro!
[19:17] ---
Hiderigami.
[19:18] ---
It's okay.
[19:20] ---
But...
[19:23] ---
Kid, outsiders shouldn't get involved.
[19:27] ---
S-Sumitomi!
[19:29] ---
Let's talk this over!
[19:30] ---
We're both human! We're kinsmen, right?!
[19:40] ---
See you.
[19:43] ---
RESIGNATION
[19:48] ---
Aren't you mad at all?
[19:50] ---
I'll work for a different magazine.
[19:55] ---
Sumitomi, show him.
[19:56] ---
Right.
[20:02] ---
RETWEET IF YOU THINK ROCKET-MEN
IS THE REAL WINNER!!!
[20:18] ---
Sure, there are scum among the humans.
[20:21] ---
But they're not all like that.
[20:24] ---
I'm fortunate enough to have a friend.
[20:26] ---
A reliable friend who'll fight with me.
[20:30] ---
You too.
[20:32] ---
You're a friend too, Kitaro.
[20:36] ---
Don't give up! Let's keep trying together!
[20:39] ---
"Yokai and humans
should keep their distance"?
[20:42] ---
That's not true!
[20:45] ---
I'll continue to draw and prove it.
[20:50] ---
Let's prove it together!

[21:14] ---
Wait, the protagonist is
a yokai this time!
[21:18] ---
As a yokai, draw it so it conveys more!
[21:22] ---
Yeah, but, he's kind of an awkward guy.
[21:25] ---
It's hard to convey how he feels.
[21:27] ---
That's your job as
