    Say...
[01:33] Honda
    Could you stop having every
    character start off hungry?
[01:37] Honda
    You're the same as the other new artists.
[01:43] Honda
    A hungry hero who saves
[01:45] ---
    the village from the bad
    guys because they fed him.
[01:48] Honda
    Just like Zuffy from One Park.
[01:52] Honda
    I understand that you like One Park.
[01:54] Honda
    That doesn't make it okay to copy ideas.
[01:57] Honda
    I wouldn't mind so much if you had an
[02:00] ---
    original approach to the hungry hero.
[02:02] Honda
    But it's clear that you're
    borrowing elements
[02:05] ---
    from many other series.
[02:08] Honda
    Are you drawing manga to
    express someone's ideas?
[02:13] Honda
    Didn't you become a manga artist
    to express your own ideas?
[02:16] Honda
    In that case, you need to pour
    your soul into every page.
[02:20] Honda
    Put your life into your work!

[02:32] Honda
    I'm in my fifth year as a Jump editor.
[02:34] Honda
    I am very worried.
[02:38] Honda
    I have been assigned to the evil
[02:40] ---
    which threatens to consume Jump,
[02:42] Honda
    Gintaman, designated by the
    Bakufu as a harmful manga.
[02:45] Honda
    Gintaman has managed to
    last for eight years,
[02:49] Honda
    but in reality, it's just
    the scribblings of a gorilla
[02:54] Honda
    that has the backing of
    animal rights activists.
[02:58] Honda
    Look at the editors.
[02:59] Honda
    The first editor, Konishi,
[03:00] Honda
    ended up unable to say
    anything but "Holy Cow!"
[03:06] Konishi
    Holy cow!
[03:10] Honda
    The second editor, Daito,
[03:12] ---
    messed up his Samurai
    Commando Mission 1549 date,
[03:18] Honda
    so he turned to the world of
    anime and never looked back.
[03:22] Daito
    Strategy for survival!
[03:24] Honda
    The third editor, elite Nakasaki,
[03:27] Honda
    hurt his back at a party by
    getting a little too elite.
[03:34] Honda
    After enduring the hell
    of strict deadlines,
[03:38] Honda
    they all snapped.
[03:39] Honda
    They are all kept in the
    gorilla sanctuary now.
[03:44] Konishi
    Holy cow!
[03:45] Daito
    Please! Let me watch Madoka Magica!
[03:47] Naka
    I'm elite!
[03:49] Naka
    I'm not like them!
[03:51] Honda
    My assignment to Gintaman was
[03:53] Honda
    essentially a death sentence.
[03:59] A
    I heard that Vanguard's
    been sent to Gintaman.
[04:02] B
    He just got married.
[04:03] B
    Poor guy.
[04:05] Honda
    I need to find a way to save my neck.
[04:09] Honda
    That means I have to discover a new artist
[04:12] ---
    so I can be moved off Gintaman.
[04:15] Honda
    I've spent days searching
    for an artist with promise,
[04:19] Honda
    but the manga they drew
    was only manga in name.
[04:25] Honda
    Isn't there anyone out there
[04:28] ---
    who's willing to pour their own words,
[04:30] Honda
    their own thoughts, their
    own life into their work?
[04:34] Honda
    Is there anyone out there
[04:36] ---
    to save me from my death,
[04:39] Honda
    to save me from this dark prison?
[04:40] A
    ...guard-san.
[04:42] A
    Vanguard-san.
[04:43] A
    Vanguard-san!
[04:44] Honda
    Oh, yes.
[04:46] A
    Vanguard-san, someone named
    N3016 is here to see you.
[04:50] Honda
    O-Oh, let him in.
[04:52] A
    Yes.
[04:55] Honda
    N3016?
[04:57] Honda
    Oh, it's the guy who drew that
[05:00] ---
    juvenile crap for the Treasure award.
[05:02] Honda
    Today is his first visit.
[05:04] Honda
    Even his pen name is juvenile.
[05:07] A
    Excuse us!
[05:08] Honda
    Hm?
[05:12] C
    N3016, get in here!
[05:17] N
    I am prisoner number 3016.
[05:21] N
    It is a pleasure to meet you.

[05:33] Honda
    They brought me a real prisoner?!
[05:37] Honda
    Instead of throwing me into prison,
[05:39] ---
    they brought a prisoner to me!
[05:42] Honda
    N-Nobody warned me about this!
[05:45] A
    You've got 20 minutes.
[05:47] B
    Any longer, and you'll be considered
[05:48] ---
    a fugitive and shot on sight.
[05:50] Honda
    Why did he bring all these guards with him
[05:53] ---
    here to show me his manga?!
[05:55] Honda
    And it sounds like he did
    something really bad!
[05:58] N
    Uh, I believe that we
    spoke on the phone before
[06:04] N
    when I was a finalist
    for the Treasure award.
[06:06] N
    Do you remember my manga
[06:08] N
    about a Soul Reaper appearing
    before a prisoner
[06:10] ---
    who's about to kill himself?
[06:11] Honda
    It was nonfiction?!
[06:13] Honda
    We chose a complete
    psycho to be a finalist!
[06:16] N
    So I wanted to come see
    you in person today.
[06:22] C
    Drop the weapon, Shachi!
[06:24] Shachi
    It's just a pen!
[06:25] C
    A pen can be used as a weapon! Drop it now!
[06:28] Shachi
    I-I can't do that!
[06:30] Shachi
    I'm... I'm gonna become a manga artist!
[06:33] C
    I'll wait three seconds!
[06:34] C
    One! Two!
[06:35] C
    Three!
[06:35] Gin
    Shut up!
[06:37] Honda
    What?! What now?!
[06:39] Shachi
    Bro!
[06:40] D
    Sakata-san!
[06:41] Gin
    Why are you so scared of
    a prisoner in handcuffs?
[06:44] Gin
    Forget it.
[06:45] Gin
    I'll keep an eye on him,
[06:47] Gin
    so scram.
[06:48] D
    If Sakata-san is here,
    everything will be fine.
[06:51] D
    Then we'll be having tea at Renoir.
[06:54] Gin
    Sorry about all the fuss.
[06:56] Shachi
    What took you so long, Bro?!
[06:58] ---
    I was getting nervous.
[06:59] Honda
    There's another weirdo here.
[07:01] Gin
    Sorry about the late introduction.
[07:03] Gin
    I am prisoner number 4264, the artist.
[07:07] Shachi
    I am number 3016, the writer.
[07:11] Both
    Together, we are Mute Ashirogi.
[07:14] Both
    It's a pleasure to meet you.
[07:15] Honda
    Is this Bakuman?!
[07:18] Honda
    U-Uh, so the two of you work together?
[07:21] Gin
    He used to do everything himself.
[07:24] Gin
    But he was only a finalist, right?
[07:26] Gin
    I happened to be in the same
    prison as him for a short period,
[07:29] Gin
    and he wanted the opinion of
    a twenty-year Jump reader.
[07:33] Gin
    The art is too dated.
[07:34] Shachi
    What?! That's not true!
[07:36] Gin
    Kids are sensitive to that stuff.
[07:38] Shachi
    Then you draw it!
[07:40] Gin
    So we ended up
[07:45] Gin
    working together.
[07:47] Honda
    A manga duo that met in a prison!
[07:50] Honda
    I see...
[07:52] Honda
    These dangerous criminals
    can't draw shounen manga!
[07:55] Shachi
    We fixed the issues you
    mentioned in our phone call,
[07:59] ---
    so could you take a look?
[08:01] Honda
    Oh shit.
[08:02] ---
    What will happen to me if
    I say something is bad?
SIGN    Revised Edition Ver 1.12 Mute Ashirogi
[08:06] Honda
    Quick! Get this over with and leave!
[08:09] Honda
    I'll try to give them advice
    without antagonizing them...
[08:13] Shachi
    So...
[08:14] Shachi
    The original manga was a touching story
[08:16] Shachi
    about a Soul Reaper appearing before
    a prisoner about to kill himself
[08:19] Shachi
    and using death to teach the prisoner about
[08:21] ---
    the importance of life.
[08:23] Gin
    The story was too gloomy,
[08:25] ---
    and everyone had their sleeves ripped off.
[08:29] Gin
    He was told to draw something
    that wasn't so dark.
[08:35] Gin
    So we
[08:36] Gin
    changed things up.
[08:37] Honda
    You just put shoulder pads
    on all of the characters!
[08:43] Gin
    And we changed two of the key characters,
[08:45] Gin
    such as the Soul Reaper and
    the warden, into girls,
[08:47] Gin
    so now you have two heroines.
[08:49] Honda
    The heroines are damn scary!
[08:51] Honda
    And they have double shoulder pads!
[08:53] Honda
    Are the shoulder pads the heroines?!
[08:57] Gin
    The main character was thrown
[08:58] ---
    in a women's prison for
    some unknown reason,
[09:01] Gin
    and now he spends his days
[09:03] ---
    surrounded by the prison ladies.
[09:05] Gin
    These days, Jump doesn't have
[09:08] ---
    any series that make the readers hard.
[09:10] Honda
    Pretty sure you've only
    made their shoulders hard.
[09:14] Honda
    S-So this is a prison harem story?
[09:17] Honda
    That's new.
[09:18] Shachi
    Right?
[09:19] Shachi
    We did it, Bro!
[09:20] Shachi
    But, Jump is aimed at grade
    school and middle school boys,
[09:25] Shachi
    and we don't want them
    sympathizing with prisoners...
[09:27] Shachi
    You got a problem with prisoners?!
[09:29] Shachi
    We're all prisoners of society!
[09:33] Shachi
    I'm busting my ass drawing manga here!
[09:36] Shachi
    I spend all of the little time I have left
[09:39] Shachi
    after slaving away for hours
    on the chain gang on manga!
[09:42] Gin
    Calm down, N3016.
[09:44] Gin
    Vanguard-san knows that.
[09:48] Gin
    However, we can't create a new
[09:49] ---
    romantic comedy if you
    oppose the prison setting.
[09:51] Gin
    Then you would only have
    school romantic comedies.
[09:54] Gin
    The prison is what makes
    this manga stand out.
[09:56] Gin
    We can't give that up.
[09:58] Gin
    But we can add some wardrobe malfunctions
[10:01] ---
    to keep the kiddies happy.
[10:02] A
    Oh, no! My shoulder pads fell off!
[10:05] Honda
    Who gives a damn about
    shoulder pads falling off?!
[10:08] Gin
    And we'll follow Yabuki's example
    with the tankoban releases
[10:10] Gin
    by adding detail to the shoulder pads
[10:12] ---
    and showing how tightly
    they adhere to the skin.
[10:15] Honda
    Forget that! Get rid of the shoulder pads!
[10:18] Honda
    And this will never make
    it to a tankoban release!
[10:20] Honda
    But if you want to do
[10:22] ---
    a romantic comedy, the art
    needs a little work...
[10:24] Honda
    The girls are just a little
    too beefy, I think.
[10:29] Shachi
    Yeah, Bro's art is too animated
    for a romantic comedy.
[10:34] Honda
    I'd say his art is too
    crappy for a manga artist!
[10:36] Gin
    Really? Maybe it's because I'm
    a fan of the older Jump style.
[10:41] Shachi
    Maybe a different pen would help?
[10:45] Honda
    No, it's not that.
[10:46] ---
    The shoulder pads are a big problem.
[10:49] Honda
    Uh, I believe you should
[10:51] ---
    completely start over with
    the female characters.
[10:54] Honda
    Do you have any concept
    art for the heroines?
[10:56] Gin
    Oh, I sure do.
[10:59] Honda
    This is more like concept
    art for the shoulder pads!
[11:03] Gin
    Right Wing 1.
[11:04] Gin
    Stores a carbon whip that
    shuts up any noisy kid.
[11:07] Gin
    Can cow any rowdy prisoner.
[11:09] Honda
    Storage?
[11:11] Honda
    These shoulder pads are used for storage?!
[11:13] Gin
    Right Wing 2.
[11:14] Gin
    Armed with an auto-turret that will
[11:16] ---
    clear any enemies on your right side.
[11:19] Honda
    Of course. It only hits
    enemies on the right side.
[11:21] Honda
    It's on her right, so it only
    works on the right side!
[11:24] Gin
    Left Wing 1.
[11:25] Gin
    Stores an extremely powerful stun gun
[11:27] ---
    that can instantly knock out an elephant.
[11:29] Gin
    And now for the Left Wing 2!
[11:31] Honda
    Hidden?! It was hidden?!
[11:33] Gin
    The warden is still a girl.
[11:35] Gin
    She uses this hairbrush
    to take care of her hair.
[11:37] Honda
    Now we find out she's
    actually fashion conscious!
[11:39] Honda
    Of course! She's still a girl!
[11:42] Gin
    And the shoulder pads can be removed.
[11:44] Honda
    Metamorphosis?
[11:45] Honda
    How much time did you spend
    on the shoulder pads?!
[11:47] Honda
    Why are these shoulder pads
    starting to resemble the Cloths?!
[11:50] Honda
    Isn't this supposed to
    be a romantic comedy?!
[11:52] Gin
    Since this is a Jump manga, we
    wanted to incorporate battles.
[11:56] Gin
    Now take the Soul Reaper heroine.
[11:58] Honda
    What are Zanpakupads?
[12:01] Shachi
    Right Wing.
[12:01] Shachi
    A strange blade which grows in parallel
    to the user's spiritual power.
[12:04] Shachi
    Vital for every Soul Reaper.
[12:06] Gin
    Left Wing.
[12:07] Gin
    Used for draining spiritual
    power when you're running low.
[12:09] Honda
    You guys are ripping off everything
    under the sun with your shoulder pads!
[12:13] Honda
    Wh-What am I supposed to do...
[12:14] Gin
    What's wrong?
[12:16] Gin
    Do you want me to make my
    art look worse on purpose?
[12:18] Shachi
    Yeah, artists don't draw
    this much detail these days.
[12:23] Honda
    They're copycats, but I can't
    tell them to remove the
[12:26] Honda
    shoulder pads after they put
    all that effort into them.
[12:28] Shachi
    The heroines didn't seem that
    macho in the initial sketches.
[12:32] Gin
    The initial sketches were nothing
    more than a few scribbles.
[12:35] Gin
    Can't make any judgments off that.
[12:36] Honda
    Oh, so N3016 did the rough sketch,
[12:40] Honda
    and N4264 did the outlining.
[12:43] Gin
    Yes, since the prison
    didn't allow felt pens.
[12:47] Honda
    Oh, so that's why the submission for the
[12:49] ---
    Treasure Award was a rough sketch.
[12:50] Gin
    Look at his crappy drawings.
[12:53] Gin
    You have no idea how hard it
    was for me to correct this.
[12:56] Warden
    You're headed to the disciplinary room!
[12:57] Warden
    You're headed to the disciplinary room!
[12:57] Honda
    Uh, was the pen you used
    covered in mud or something?!
[13:01] Shachi
    It's embarrassing, so don't
    compare my art to Bro's!
[13:03] Honda
    They should switch roles!
[13:07] Honda
    And the guy with an ugly
    face can draw some cute art!
[13:10] Honda
    He's made a ton of progress!
[13:13] Honda
    He's a genius, if you
    ignore the shoulder pads!
[13:15] Honda
    I-I understand.
[13:17] Honda
    Then let's have the two of you swap roles
[13:19] ---
    on the next submission.
[13:21] Both
    Huh?!
[13:22] Honda
    Well, it's good now, but I'm
[13:24] ---
    interested in seeing what else you can do.
[13:27] Shachi
    But I don't know how to use a mapping pen
[13:29] Shachi
    since I've been a model prisoner!
[13:31] Honda
    Uh, you don't have to use a mapping pen.
[13:35] Honda
    N4264 writes the story
[13:37] Honda
    and N3016 draws a rough sketch off that.
[13:41] Honda
    Then you just have to fax it to me.
[13:44] Shachi
    Seriously?! My art can't
    compare with Bro's!
[13:48] Honda
    No, I guarantee that your art is better.
[13:51] Gin
    Well, this might help him
    realize how hard my job is.
[13:53] Gin
    Sounds like fun. Let's do it.
[13:55] Honda
    Why are you so arrogant?!
[13:58] Honda
    You're the one holding back this manga!

[16:22] Chage
    There's a name inside...
SIGN    ASKA RYO
[16:22] Honda
    Hey! ASKA's name's in there!
[16:24] Honda
    Who put it there?
[16:25] Honda
    CHAGE?
[16:25] Honda
    Did CHAGE write that?
[16:27] Honda
    ASKA, Inaba, Shimura, Kaku-san?
[16:29] Honda
    These are all names of people who get
[16:30] ---
    the most attention in
    their respective groups.
[16:32] Honda
    That list of names is scaring me! Stop it!
[16:35] Honda
    Don't cause any scandals!
[16:37] Ryu
    You weren't supposed to see that!
[16:40] Honda
    And why are you doing math on here?!
[16:42] Honda
    Don't scribble on a draft!

    You're shaky on your sevens?!

    I can't focus on the manga!

    You don't need to practice your signature!
[16:52] Honda
    Nobody's interested in your signature!
[16:54] Ryu
    I am Ryuko, a God of Death.
[16:56] Gin
    Kagura, I made fried race so you
    can microwave that for dinner.
[16:59] Honda
    They drew this important
    scene on an old note?!
[17:02] Honda
    The heroine's face is
    covered by fried rice!
[17:05] Honda
    And they've perfected their signature!
[17:07] Gin
    Mute Ashirogi!
[17:09] Chage
    A God of Death?!
[17:10] Kagura
    Next time, I want BBQ
    instead of boiled ham.
[17:13] Kagura
    But I still loved it to DEATH.
[17:14] Kagura
    -Kagura
[17:15] Honda
    Don't use the manga to reply!
[17:18] Honda
    Do they not care about this draft?!
[17:20] Shin
    Gin-san, Otose-san dropped
    by for rent today.

[17:24] Honda
    Don't turn this manga into a message board!
[17:28] Gin
    Oh, then I'll make myself scarce.
[17:30] Honda
    If you're in the same room,
[17:32] ---
    you can talk to each other directly!
[17:34] Honda
    Wait up.
[17:36] Honda
    What happened while those fools
    were talking to each other?
[17:39] Honda
    We're back in a prison again!
[17:42] Chage
    This was my only solution.
[17:44] Chage
    I could never write someone's name
[17:46] ---
    in this notebook and CHAGE them.
[17:47] Honda
    What does that even mean?
[17:50] Chage
    I've fallen in love with
    both Ryuko and Wardena.
[17:54] Honda
    That never happened...
[17:56] Chage
    In order to make one
    happy, I had to CHAGE the
[17:59] ---
    other so she would barely remember me.
[18:02] Honda
    Apologize to CHAGE!
[18:03] Wardena
    If that's what it takes
    for you to be happy,
[18:06] ---
    you can CHAGE me.
[18:08] Wardena
    But I'll always ASKA you.
[18:11] Honda
    Hey! The shoulder pads pushed her face
[18:13] ---
    off the page in this critical scene!
[18:15] Wardena
    You better make him happy,
[18:17] ---
    or I'll send you to the disciplinary room!
[18:18] Honda
    Who's talking?
[18:20] ---
    Whose shoulder pads are these?
[18:22] Chage
    I can't make one of them
[18:24] ---
    forget me to make the other happy.
[18:27] Chage
    Because I need both of them...

[18:34] Honda
    Now it's kind of a touching story?
[18:37] Chage
    This was for the best...
[18:39] Chage
    I could only protect them
    by making them forget me.
[18:41] Honda
    Why would that land you in prison?!
[18:44] D
    Hey, what's your name?
[18:47] Chage
    Beats me. I can't even remember now.
[18:50] D
    There's a letter for you.
[18:53] Chage
    It was
[18:55] Chage
    from the people around the
[18:56] ---
    world who should have forgotten about me.
[19:00] Chage
    A love letter that should never

    have been able to reach me...

    it must be great!
[19:23] Honda
    Now is the time to copy other manga
[19:25] ---
    and use what you can!
[19:28] Honda
    Don't bother with originality!
[19:31] Honda
    Don't bother using your
    own life experiences!
[19:33] D
    Hey, who's Vanguard talking to?
[19:36] E
    Beats me.
[19:37] ---
    I heard that he committed himself
    to the gorilla sanctuary.
[19:41] D
    Why?
[19:42] E
    Because wild gorillas are scarier.
[19:44] Konishi
    Holy cow!

    Please! Let me watch Utena!

    I'm not like these scum!

    Damn, practice ran late.

    My shoulders are starved.

    Man, the moon is creeping me out tonight.
[21:35] Chage
    Feels like something's going
