[00:05] ---
This draft is good.
[00:08] ---
Thank you.
[00:11] ---
It feels like a side story for
Lunar Glasses, your pro manga.
[00:15] ---
Well, I figured right now, I should
focus on writing what I know.
[00:20] ---
I see.
[00:22] ---
Did she get over it?
[00:24] ---
So Hato-kun is
finishing the artwork?
[00:28] ---
About that... we might end up coming here,
[00:32] ---
or to Hato-kun's room,
to work on the art.
[00:37] ---
Is that okay?
[00:38] ---
Oh, uh...
[00:41] ---
Yeah.
[00:46] ---
I think you're supposed to say no.
[00:50] ---
Am I?
[00:51] ---
Yes.
[00:52] ---
Even if he's a trap.
[00:54] ---
I figured if it was necessary,
I should keep my mouth shut.
[00:59] ---
Well, I'm sure that's what
you think. You always...
[01:03] ---
That's right... I'm supposed
to be a strong top.
[01:08] ---
Ogiue-san, sit here.
[01:13] ---
Okay...
[01:20] ---
Is that your phone?
[01:22] ---
I've got a bad feeling about this.
[01:25] ---
Okay, tonight we're training!
[01:27] ---
I'm sorry.
[01:29] ---
No, I kind of figured this was coming.
[01:33] ---
What's with your hand?
[01:35] ---
Well, Sue's tagging along,
so I guess it's okay.
[03:12] ---
Well, it's okay, I guess.
[03:14] ---
I see. It is. It is. I'm glad.
[03:17] ---
It's so embarrassing to have
someone read your work.
[03:21] ---
I've read it a bunch of
times! Get used to it.
[03:23] ---
Well, I'm still like that when
people read my rough drafts.
[03:28] ---
So what did the story end up as?
[03:31] ---
Oh, yeah.
[03:33] ---
After the Fifth
Interdimensional Space War,
[03:36] ---
in the year 24,925 of the
Earth Gregorian Calendar,
[03:38] ---
the generals of the Warring
States era are reborn
[03:43] ---
at the military high school
of the 382nd planet, Necrose.
[03:45] ---
Their school culture fair
gets out of hand...
[03:47] ---
Couldn't you do without
most of that introduction?
[03:49] ---
But there's the interdimensional haunted
house and the interdimensional music club.
[03:52] ---
Those ideas seem interesting on their own,
[03:55] ---
so do you really need the
Warring States generals?
[03:57] ---
I gave up.
[03:59] ---
You can see the details
when it's all done.
[04:01] ---
...all right.
[04:02] ---
So what about you?
[04:04] ---
We just finished the rough draft.
[04:06] ---
Hato-kun said she'd
work on the art at home.
[04:10] ---
Hello there.
[04:11] ---
We were just talking about you.
[04:14] ---
Were you?
[04:16] ---
How'd the manga turn out?
[04:20] ---
Well...
[04:22] ---
We can't put this in the magazine.
[04:25] ---
When I tried to draw in
that style as a girl,
[04:28] ---
it turned into BL illustrations again.
[04:31] ---
Hato-chan, do you understand?
[04:33] ---
My characters are doing it.
[04:36] ---
If there was a doujinshi of my manga,
this is what it would look like.
[04:42] ---
Ogi-sempai?
[04:46] ---
Um, yes. Putting this aside...
[04:50] ---
I want a copy of it later.
[04:53] ---
Looks like you liked it!
[04:56] ---
I think I need to watch as she draws,
[04:59] ---
so that her drawings
don't end up as porn.
[05:04] ---
I really do need the help.
[05:07] ---
Okay, Hato-chan! We'll watch too!
[05:10] ---
As you draw porn... I mean, not porn!
[05:13] ---
Come on! Come on! Come on!
[05:16] ---
Yajimacchi, that thing
could've killed me.
[05:19] ---
Don't bother them. We're leaving.
[05:21] ---
We need to talk about our art.
[05:22] ---
But it sounds like so much fun!
[05:23] ---
Shut up! We're leaving.
[05:27] ---
Okay, let's get started.
[05:30] ---
Yes.
[05:32] ---
White Gate Keeper.
[05:39] ---
How did you...
[05:42] ---
... settle on your current style?
[05:45] ---
Oh, I haven't settled on it yet.
[05:49] ---
I've done a lot of things since I was a
kid, like copying my favorite manga...
[05:53] ---
And this is just how it turned out.
[05:55] ---
Yeah, I thought so.
[05:57] ---
Your style is something you develop
[06:00] ---
after a long period of
trial and error, isn't it?
[06:04] ---
But the style in these pictures
is just a copy of someone else.
[06:10] ---
Almost completely.
[06:12] ---
I feel so bad that I can draw
them just by crossdressing,
[06:16] ---
and that it's always BL illustrations.
[06:20] ---
I think that's the reason I can't
draw normal manga in this style.
[06:26] ---
No, um... you're not tracing,
right? You were just influenced.
[06:30] ---
Yes.
[06:31] ---
Then it's not really copying.
[06:33] ---
No, more importantly,
the way you talked...
[06:37] ---
...it's someone you know, right?
[06:40] ---
A sempai at my high
school was really good.
[06:44] ---
She was a rotten girl.
[06:46] ---
High school... sempai... good
at drawing... rotten girl...
[06:51] ---
Hato-kun, were you thinking of her back
when we were talking about romance?
[06:56] ---
Bingo! She's gone three times as red!
[07:00] ---
No, it's not really... uhm...
[07:04] ---
Wait a second!
[07:07] ---
I'm sorry, Hato-kun. I can't
give you advice about romance.
[07:12] ---
Do you think it would be okay
[07:14] ---
if I tried a different
approach as a manga author?
[07:20] ---
I'm pathetic.
[07:22] ---
As her sempai, I need to find some
way to solve this problem.
[07:26] ---
Um...
[07:28] ---
I can understand not being able to draw
normal manga for psychological reasons.
[07:33] ---
It's normal for something small
to make you incapable of drawing.
[07:37] ---
Yes.
[07:38] ---
Hmm... that means what
doesn't make sense,
[07:43] ---
is the crossdressing.
[07:44] ---
It's just not possible for something
like that to give you so much firepower.
[07:50] ---
As a manga author, I can say
for sure that it's impossible.
[07:53] ---
So I think the natural assumption
[07:56] ---
is that you always have that ability.
[08:00] ---
No...
[08:01] ---
Even back when you were being my
assistant, I was honestly a little jealous.
[08:06] ---
"She can draw anything.
It's possible she's better than me."
[08:11] ---
No! No! That's impossible!
[08:14] ---
My style when I'm a guy...
[08:17] ---
It's like that!
[08:19] ---
That's kind of interesting
in and of itself,
[08:23] ---
but what that means is that you always
wanted to draw things like this.
[08:27] ---
When you're a guy, you put a
limiter on your own abilities,
[08:31] ---
and the crossdressing
gets rid of that limiter.
[08:34] ---
Even if you copied the style,
this is your own ability.
[08:39] ---
I guarantee that you
can draw a real manga.
[08:43] ---
Now give it a try.
[08:46] ---
Hey, when you're drawing
dirty pictures...
[08:49] ---
Does it make you feel horny?
[08:51] ---
I don't know.
[08:52] ---
Do you--
[08:52] ---
Sorry, but I don't draw dirty pictures!
SIGN Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture
[09:01] ---
You did it.
[09:03] ---
Yes.
[09:06] ---
I think it works. Let's keep at it.
[09:09] ---
Y-Yeah!
[09:13] ---
Wow... I think this is the most
presidential thing I've ever done!
[09:18] ---
Hi there! It's the Circle
Leadership Committee!
[09:22] ---
We're here with a message.
[09:25] ---
Oh, Takeya-san, did you cut your hair?
[09:28] ---
That's right, I registered with
them under the name Takeya Mikako.
[09:34] ---
Sempai.
[09:35] ---
I know.
[09:37] ---
Um... it's about the costumes you're
using for the cosplay photo shoot.
[09:41] ---
We need a list, and
pictures for all of them.
[09:43] ---
Here.
[09:45] ---
Okay.
[09:46] ---
Nothing too dirty, they said.
[09:48] ---
I'll let the person in charge know.
[09:49] ---
So are you coming to the
festival, Takeya-san?
[09:52] ---
Yes... I think.
[09:55] ---
Oh, I'll show you around then!
[09:59] ---
As president, I need to do something!
[10:01] ---
Sempai. Sempai.
[10:02] ---
What? Shut up.
[10:05] ---
President Mikami asked me to
tell him everything you did.
[10:09] ---
What? You're going to rat me out?
[10:11] ---
I'm not going to rat you out.
[10:13] ---
I'm going to tell him
right in front of you.
[10:17] ---
Do you want to suck up to him that much?
[10:20] ---
If you don't make trouble,
there won't be any problems.
[10:24] ---
Fine.
[10:28] ---
Okay, take care of the cosplay
thing. See you soon.
[10:33] ---
Automatic writing?
[10:35] ---
Hato-kun... it's just that you want
to draw those pictures, isn't it?
[10:41] ---
There weren't any restrictions
like this last year.
[10:45] ---
I hear that the Circle Leadership Committee's
president is the harshest since Kitagawa-san.
[10:52] ---
Yes? Hello! It's been forever!
[10:56] ---
Kohsaka said he's finally
done with a big job,
[11:01] ---
and he wants to go.
[11:03] ---
Then...
[11:04] ---
I'll be going to the school fair too.
[11:06] ---
I'll get your costume ready, Saki-san!
[11:10] ---
She hung up!
[11:12] ---
Was that Kasukabe-san?
[11:14] ---
Everybody else is coming.
What about you, Sasahara-san?
[11:17] ---
You still aren't sure. I see.
[11:20] ---
Oh, the Mebaetame special?
SIGN Madarame-sempai,
It looks like we'll
have the Mebaetame
special done in time
for the school fair!

[12:00] ---
Stop asking. I told
you I'm not doing it.
[12:04] ---
The situation's changed!
SIGN Front Desk Special Magazine (200 yen)
[12:06] ---
Saki-san's coming!
[12:09] ---
If we're cosplaying, she might too!
[12:13] ---
I don't think she's the type who's
influenced by things like that.
[12:16] ---
Ohno-sempai looks like she's having fun.
[12:19] ---
I think it's only a matter of time
before she gets us in trouble.
[12:22] ---
I'm handling the makeup today,
so I got out of having to cosplay.
[12:27] ---
You said you were going to try and
blend in, but you're wearing make-up!
[12:31] ---
I didn't think I could
get by without makeup.
[12:33] ---
You don't look plain at all!
[12:35] ---
I'm not wearing much!
[12:38] ---
Listen, idiot, "plain"
means somebody like me--
[12:39] ---
Welcome! Are you interested in cosplay?
[12:43] ---
Or maybe people like her.
[12:46] ---
Hey.
[12:48] ---
Mirei!
[12:53] ---
University's amazing.
[12:55] ---
You made it here on your
own, just like you said.
[12:59] ---
Why is she hiding?
[13:01] ---
She called Yajima-san "Mirei"?
[13:03] ---
That's the friend from high
school you mentioned, right?
[13:06] ---
Yeah. Her name's Mimasaka.
[13:08] ---
Say hello.
[13:09] ---
H-Hi there.
[13:12] ---
On the left is Yoshitake.
[13:14] ---
Hi there.
[13:14] ---
And this is, um...
[13:16] ---
The one I told you about.
[13:20] ---
"The one I told you about," huh?
[13:21] ---
Just call her Takeya today.
[13:24] ---
She's supposed to be a student
from another university.
[13:28] ---
And this is Ogiue-sempai, the president.
[13:30] ---
Hi.
[13:31] ---
I hope you have a good time.
[13:34] ---
She's staring at me.
[13:37] ---
Look! This has Yajimacchi's
drawings in it!
[13:40] ---
It's 200 yen.
[13:41] ---
I'll buy it!
[13:42] ---
Well, of course she'd look at me
like that, since she knows who I am.
[13:46] ---
You're a really good artist, Mirei.
[13:50] ---
...for pity's sake.
[13:52] ---
Mimacchi, you don't need to be polite.
[13:55] ---
Mima...?
[13:56] ---
Isn't she better off
if you tell the truth,
[13:59] ---
and she learns how harsh
the world really is?
[14:02] ---
How harsh the world is?
[14:04] ---
Mirei learned that a long time ago!
[14:07] ---
But what's so amazing about
Mirei is that she doesn't mind.
[14:11] ---
Right?
[14:12] ---
Well, it's not true that I don't mind...
[14:15] ---
The bond between the two of
them is stronger than I thought.
[14:19] ---
So it seems.
SIGN Anime Research
[14:21] ---
He's not in the Anime
Research club either, huh?
[14:24] ---
Want to go back and ask?
[14:27] ---
Ask what?
[14:28] ---
Is there anybody named
Hato in the freshman year?
[14:31] ---
We decided that he'd be sure
to join some otaku circle.
[14:36] ---
Of course he did! ...I think.
[14:39] ---
You're not sure! You were
sure but now you're not!
[14:41] ---
Then I'll go back and ask!
[14:44] ---
Seriously?
[14:44] ---
Huh?
[14:45] ---
Oh? What is it?
[14:47] ---
Is that Kaminaga-sempai?
At the top of that staircase.
[14:52] ---
I can't tell.
[14:53] ---
I can't see her now.
[14:54] ---
Wait, Kon--
[15:14] ---
I just can't tell!
There's too many people!
[15:18] ---
You sure it was Kaminaga-sempai?
[15:20] ---
What? You didn't see
her? I'm sure it was!
[15:24] ---
Well, it makes sense
for her to be here...
[15:28] ---
Cosplay?
[15:29] ---
That's Atelier Maru! How cute!
SIGN Cosplay Try-On and Photo Shoot - Society for the Study of Modern Visual Culture.
[15:35] ---
Question!
[15:36] ---
Which generals saw great success
at the battle of Shizugatake,
[15:39] ---
but were not counted among the
Seven Spears of Shizugatake?!
[15:43] ---
Answer! Sakurai Iekazu
and Ishikawa Kazumitsu!
[15:46] ---
It's said that this is because they
were not Hideyoshi's personal retainers.
[15:48] ---
The Seven Spears began as an
attempt to make his men famous!
[15:56] ---
You always focus on the
details of history.
[16:00] ---
That was close.
[16:01] ---
It looks like you haven't been
slacking off in your studies.
[16:05] ---
"Question" and "Answer"...
isn't that from Zen Buddhism?
[16:11] ---
These two are from the
history club at my school.
[16:14] ---
They're my sisters-in-arms, you might say.
[16:16] ---
Quiet. On the battlefield, we're enemies.
[16:19] ---
Ugh. You're not using the term right.
[16:21] ---
How?
[16:23] ---
Brothers-in-arms are allies
on the battlefield...
[16:24] ---
So it's Yoshitake-san's friends now?
[16:27] ---
It's a lot livelier in here now.
[16:30] ---
Is everybody here?
[16:32] ---
You can't...
[16:34] ---
All set.
[16:37] ---
I had sempai make these for me.
[16:40] ---
It had to be this game, didn't it?
[16:43] ---
You look so good in that!
[16:45] ---
Ohno-sempai is seriously merciless.
[16:48] ---
You look so cool, Mirei.
[16:51] ---
The stomach area is made
from stockings too.
[16:52] ---
Wow, it's really lively in here.
[16:55] ---
Oh, Madarame-sempai!
[16:57] ---
Hey.
[16:58] ---
Hey.
[17:02] ---
This is totally a cosplay
research club now, isn't it?
[17:06] ---
It is.
[17:08] ---
It's like a reunion for
Yoshitake-san and her friends.
[17:11] ---
I see.
[17:14] ---
Is that the Mebaetame
you were talking about?
[17:15] ---
Yes.
[17:17] ---
It's the special school fair edition.
[17:23] ---
Oh, is the manga at the front yours?
[17:26] ---
Just the drawings...
Ogiue-sempai did the story.
[17:30] ---
This is really amazing. Right, Ogiue-san?
[17:33] ---
It really is.
[17:34] ---
Ooh, this is really good.
Really interesting.
[17:39] ---
It's thanks to Ogiue-sempai.
[17:42] ---
He came...
[17:44] ---
But the atmosphere here probably
makes it hard for him.
[17:47] ---
Tanaka-sempai and Kugayama-sempai
are here, so it's probably okay.
[17:52] ---
But today, no matter what...
[17:55] ---
Kasukabe-sempai and
Kohsaka-sempai are coming.
[17:58] ---
It would be weird if I
asked if he knew that.
[18:10] ---
Hey, Watanabe, Onee-chan.
[18:14] ---
Are Saki-neesan and
Kohsaka-san here already?
[18:19] ---
What? Are those two coming?
[18:21] ---
Yes. So I've heard.
[18:24] ---
That's why I came.
[18:26] ---
Who are you? And where do
you get off saying that?
[18:30] ---
Watanabe? Onee-chan?
[18:32] ---
Heh heh... well?
[18:34] ---
Well, what?
[18:36] ---
Well, those two are coming.
What are you going to do?
[18:38] ---
Nothing!
[18:40] ---
From what she said... does she know?
[18:43] ---
About Madarame-sempai
and Kasukabe-sempai...
[18:45] ---
And sempai seems to know it too.
[18:49] ---
I wasn't the only one who knew?
[18:55] ---
Huh? Huh, huh, huh?
[18:59] ---
Are the two of you dating?
[19:02] ---
No, no, no! No way!
[19:04] ---
Seriously? You'd make a great couple!
[19:07] ---
She was totally glaring at me!
[19:09] ---
Was I?
[19:12] ---
That's because she's never
seen somebody like you before.
[19:15] ---
It's physically impossible.
[19:18] ---
Huh? What? I don't know what you mean.
[19:21] ---
Well, I'll tell you later.
[19:24] ---
Physically... that's right.
We're the weird ones.
[19:29] ---
Never mind then. I'll go
wander around for a bit.
[19:34] ---
See you later.
[19:37] ---
That's Sasahara's little sister.
[19:39] ---
And she's a cabaret girl.
[19:41] ---
She's not even a student, but she
claims to be part of Genshiken.
[19:45] ---
I think she's younger than Ogiue-san?
[19:47] ---
Yes. One year younger, I think.
[19:50] ---
Then a year older than me?
[19:53] ---
Wait a second. Is Madarame and
Kasukabe something everybody knows about?
[19:57] ---
Of course. It's from before
I came to university,
[20:01] ---
so of course they'd know
more about it than I would.
[20:06] ---
But somehow...
[20:13] ---
It's cosplay everywhere.
[20:15] ---
You think it's really a cosplay club?
[20:17] ---
But look, they've got manga drawings up.
[20:19] ---
Konno-san and Fuji-san?
[20:23] ---
Crap! Oh, crap!
[20:25] ---
They look just like
Kaminaga-sempai's drawings.
[20:31] ---
It's okay. They won't find out.
[20:35] ---
There's no way they'll think
I'm dressed as a girl.
[20:38] ---
My voice is much cuter now.
[20:40] ---
Can I look at this?
[20:42] ---
Yes, go ahead.
[20:47] ---
Well?
