MANGA MAGAZINE EDITOR MACHIDA WAKO

The most beautiful awakening in the world ...

STYLE ARTIST SOMA MEGURU Good morning, Wako-chan.

Wako-chan, where's my "Good morning" greeting?

I saw a good one.

With that said, goodnight once again.

No, no! Wait. Hold up!

Stop it!

It's quite rare that we both have the day off together so let's take this chance to go out!

Do nothing. That's what a day off is all about.

We need to decide on a theme for this day-off!

Like, "I want to hone myself" or maybe "I want to reward myself today".

I don't wanna! I don't wanna! I absolutely don't want to do anything!

Heavy themes, or even thinking. I refuse any thoughts!

This is the day-off of my life! -Don't say that!

No, no, no! Let's go out! -I don't wanna!

Next up: Colorful World Corner!

Yay!

We learn a lot of new words, to make our conversations...

...colorful!

The word we will learn about today is... this!

Everyone... do you know what "Digression" is?

"Digression"?

"Digression" is when you're talking about something,

and then you gradually move away from what you're talking about,

which turns into a bonus story instead. Do you get it?

We don't get it!

If we were to say that a story was the tree itself,

digression would be the branches and the leaves. Do you understand now?

We don't get it!

Do you mean, conversation that is not needed?

Hmmm... Let's see.

Well then, starting now, let me give you some examples!

For example...

Digression 1: Kira and his image, and love talks

We do contact each other. We even hanged out last time.

Is this already dating?

Then, why not confess?

Confess?

Women really do love love talks, huh?

FAMOUS MODEL KIRA Love is wonderful.

Love makes me shine even brighter.

Asahi has returned to manage my serialization project again.

Thank you... Thank you...

I don't get it, but...

...somehow, you have changed.

Excuse me... could you be Master Kira?

Is there a need to clarify? No matter how you look at me, I am "Kira" through and through.

Please shake my hands!

My hands are full. I have no vacant limb.

In my hand, lies the country's...

No, in this palm lies the future of the world.

Should we go now?

Do follow me on twitter.

Please excuse us. -Sorry. We ask for your understanding.

I take it back. You haven't changed at all.

No, the way you responded. I thought it was exactly what I had imagined.

What nonsense! Someone's image is just a result of what people created.

What nonsense!

COLORFUL LOVE: ~ I am Loved by an Androgynous Boy ~

So cute!

You look beautiful.

EPISODE 8

I'm so sorry for suddenly coming in for a consultation.

Not at all.

So, what do you think of the manga I drew?

EDITOR-IN-CHIEF TETSUMOTO ASAHI Is it not good yet?

When she time-slipped to the end of the Edo period, and got involved in a love triangle...

I think the subject matter is interesting.

This scene where two samurai slash each other to compete for this heroine...

Yes.

For a shoujo manga quality, it feels a little pictorially tough.

And then, when one of them cuts the other one down,

that would make the love triangle come to an end, right?

A blind spot.

Let's see...

I want something unexpected.

Something unexpected... what should I do?

Let's see... for example: Instead of slashing with a sword,

how about they do it with a bamboo sword and start getting along after?

With a bamboo sword and start getting along?

What should I do next after they start getting along?

Let's see.

Asahi.

When they are friends with each other, it doesn't end immediately, but it lasts for a long time.

Is this... love talks?

I see.

It's a valuable conversation.

Yeah, I think that is better.

Yeah, with this, I think this will go further. After all, they do get along well.

What a good thing to hear! That's good, Asahi! Compared to now, dealing with it is less tighter.

That would make it much more cute.

Do they really change that much?

It is! 180 degrees different!

180 degrees?

Change?

Hey... Asahi.

Asahi here!

Are you free today until the evening?

Of coursey!

Asahi is working 24 hours a day!

I am your Asahi, 24/7!

Then, where do you want to go?

I will suit your preference.

After all, I am a "Cotton Woman".

Cotton?

I don't mean "water wool" though!

What I mean is cotton from candy cotton. Which means I am very flexible.

Blow... blow, blow, blow.

Somehow, before we started dating, you really changed.

180 degrees different! Ouch! Ouch!

[T/N: Tetsumoto Asahi literally translates to "steel (tetsumoto)" and "rising sun (asahi)" whereas on the opposite is "watamoto (cotton)" and "yuuhi (setting sun)"] I am... more than being called "Tetsumoto Asahi"...

I am Watamoto Yuuhi!

Blow!

Blow! Blow!

Asahi! Asahi! Stop it!

Blow!

Hey, Asahi! Asahi!

Cotton hat! Blow, blow, blow! Hey, Asahi! Get a grip of yourself!

Cotton hat! Here!

Too different from what I imagined.

I thought it was exactly what I had imagined.

What nonsense! Someone's image is just a result of what people created.

I have to! I have to accept Asahi no matter who she is!

I see. Anything else?

Also, while they're dating, they would always shout each other's name on purpose.

While dating? Shouting names on purpose?

Asahi... I mean, Yuuhi.

Will you feed me?

Of course!

Well then, first is...

Meat ball... attack!

Final... broccoli!

Tasting... question!

Is it good?

A taste question?

It's good.

Ultimate mystery...

Tehe Pero Bomber! [T/N: "Tehe" means "laughing embarrassingly" while "pero" means "sticking out one's tongue". A Japanese slang.]

Tehe, pero.

Tehe, pero.

Asahi?

Tehe, pero?

Certainly, it seems to make my heart throb...

I see. With what you mentioned earlier, something that's unexpected.

Something unexpected...

While they're dating, they get stimulated and their body transforms.

What? There's such a thing like that?

Yeah, I've seen that before.

There really is such a thing? Really?

I am Asahi!

Aren't I glowing? Only me!

I'm getting stimulated!

A-Asahi?

A-A pot! [T/N: Kira heard "tsubo" as "pot", not the way Asahi meant it as "tsubo" meaning "a point on the face or body to which pressure or other stimulation is applied" where characters transform]

Asahi! Hey!

Asahi! Your voice...

We are dating, after all. I am about to transform!

Even if my body has deformed, I am still Asahi!

The hell!

Asahi!

When you date someone, do people really turn that way?

I see. -What do you think?

Somehow... Can you give the dating direction a thought maybe?

But you know...

I swear, I won't let you regret it! Just believe in me!

Dating, huh?

What are you hesitating for?

As I thought, I think I do like the previous one better.

Are you comparing her to an ex-girlfriend or what?

That may be how you feel about it for now, but you'll get attached to it soon.

But...

I feel like I'm running out.

I get it. How about we approve it up until page 3? No, Page 4!

3 pages?!

For some reason, up to 18th page is okay.

18 pages?!

Really?

It's okay. I will definitely secure it.

But, excuse me. I need to go out for a moment.

Please think about it.

Hello. Thank you for taking care of me.

Are you going to date her?

Oh, Kira?

You bastard. I'm asking you if you're going to date her.

I see. Did you hear it?

What now?

Yes, I plan to date.

Is... Is it serious?

No, there's no way I'm serious about it.

What? You mean, you're going to date her but you're not serious?!

If I was serious, I would die.

How repugnant! If you aren't serious, then why would you go out with her?!

[T/N: Kira understood it as him saying "he won't (shi nai) but the artist meant it as "bamboo sword (shinai)"] I won't.

If I'm not serious, so I won't. [T/N: He meant to say "If I'm not serious, then I'd go with the bamboo sword"]

This isn't about not doing it!

What are you talking about?

You bastard...

You indecent bastard! Do you plan to deceive Asahi?!

Hey, listen! I, "Kira", am serious about this!

I seriously like Asahi!

I'm the only one who's a perfect fit for her!

What are you even talking about? We're talking about manga matters, you know?!

Manga? -Yes.

My manga called "Bakumatsu Triangle"!

Whether they slash with a sword or use a bamboo sword so they can end up getting along instead!

What's wrong with you?

Don't confuse me!

What a huge misunderstanding.

To think that you made the cool "Kira" upset!

Umm...

As I thought, let's just go with the sword slashing.

Why so suddenly?

Somehow, I think it's bad to be too serious.

That was an example of digression. Do you understand now?

We don't get it!

You still haven't understood it?

Let's go already! -I don't wanna! Resolute refusal!

Why refuse it?! No refusal!

Yes, hello?

Sakai-san. Thanks for your hardwork.

Yes... Sasakama? Yokan?

Yes, I like it too.

That seems good. Excuse me.

No, no.

Hey, wait! Wait! What phone call was that earlier?!

What do you mean by Sasakama and Yokan?

Alright, it can't be helped.

Alright, I'll hand out one more example, alright?

This really is a digression in the middle of a digression.

Sakai and Amaji's Important Mission Digression 2:

Great timing.

Can the two of you leave your schedule tomorrow open?

Tomorrow? -Tomorrow is a day-off, right? BOSS SAKAI MASAMI NEW EMPLOYEE- EDITOR AMAJI YAMATO

I need to ask you a favor for an important job.

That's fine with me but...

With him?

Good morning.

You're late! What time do you think it is now?!

When arrived, weren't you the one who said "Go buy some visiting gifts"?

The food court was crowded.

Anyway, let's go.

What are you doing? Get changed.

Pardon?

Hurry it up!

We can't let Sensei wait on us!

This is the only clothes I have today.

Are you kidding me?

Does it look weird?

Do you even know where we're going after this?!

Misato Yukio-sensei wants to serialize her works with us?

A legend in the shoujo manga world.

Hey, hey. Aren't I only doing one-shots all the time in here?

If she serializes with us, it will last for 10 years!

For 10 years?

That's why, I really want to close this deal no matter what!

Sensei said she really needs us to meet her tomorrow but I really need to witness a photoshoot scheduled for tomorrow.

That's why, Sakai... I leave this to you.

Today's meeting will depend on the clean slate we have for her!

Do you get it?! -Yes.

If you understand the situation, why did you come wearing a hoodie?!

Pardon?

We're going to meet a major artist! Why are you wearing a hoodie?!

That's too casual! You gotta go formal! Formal!

No, I think you're over-thinking too much.

Don't you underestimate an influential person! Try to see her wearing that!

"You, dear boy. You're meeting me today but why are you wearing a hoodie?"

"A hoodie is an item for cold weather, isn't it?"

"Even if you come to see me, your body won't get warm."

"Moreover, it will get much colder. Is that what you're trying to say?"

"Alright, I'm canceling the serialization."

That's what's going to happen!

But I didn't receive any instructions.

I sent you a short message yesterday!

I sternly said to come wearing this! -Short message?

Yeah.

By instructions... is this what you meant?

That's right!

Didn't I sternly say so?!

How do you interpret this as receiving instructions for clothes?

The way it sternly pointed at you, is sternly saying for you to come wearing such clothes!

No way. This is already sutahara!

Sutahara? -Stamp harassment.

What's that about? -I have no idea..

What's wrong with you?!

Besides, don't you think suits are too outdated?

So what?

That's why, as young man wearing this style, it clearly gives off an impression to Misato-sensei that I am enjoying her works.

In comparison, instead of wearing something rough-looking, isn't it more effective to look younger?

You come up with reasons!

You really thought of it that far?!

Anyway, enough of that now. How about the visiting gifts?

Seriously... Hey, what'd you buy?

Sasakama? -They were doing a Miyagi product exhibition. [T/N: "Sasakama" is a type of cured surimi, a processed seafood product common in Japanese cuisine.]

Are you serious? -Pardon?

We're going to meet this influential figure, yet we're giving her Miyagi souvenirs even when you haven't gone to Miyagi?

Isn't it so good though?

It doesn't matter if it tastes so good! Try handing that out to her!

"Oh, dear boy. Did you go to Miyagi? What? You didn't?"

"You didn't go there, but you're giving me Miyagi souvenirs?"

"Why? You're scary. Alright. Serialization canceled."

That's what's going to happen! You should have brought Yokan! Yokan is perfect for such instances! [T/N: "Yokan" is a Japanese confection made of red bean paste, agar, and sugar.]

Oh, come on! I'll have Machida buy it for us.

I'm calling her now. We won't make it in time. It's all your fault.

Hello, Machida? Yeah. You see, we're on our way to Misato-sensei.

You know what? Amaji bought Sasakama souvenirs! Sasakama!

Even when he didn't go to Miyagi!

Wouldn't it normally be Yokan in such instances?!

Yeah, and then, no wait! Wait!

Machida! Wait, wait! Hello? Hello?

This is bad. She hang up on me. -It's a day-off after all.

I'll buy Yokan on the way. That's it.

We can't. I can't eat Yokan.

You're not the one who's going to eat it!

Don't you think it would be rude to go home without eating the souvenirs you bought yourself?

Isn't it a pattern where they take out the souvenirs we bought and hand it to us as well?

Don't you think it's rude to leave it without taking a bite?

You have a reason for everything!

You've thought of it that much?!

Yeah. -Anyway! Just call a taxi now!

I went here with a scooter.

Is there someone who would really go to an influential person riding a scooter? You really are---

You do as you please! You just do it!

Don't underestimate a leading figure! Try going there with that!

"Is my value just worth 50cc? Yes, serialization canceled."

That's what's going to happen!

You're really thinking too much about this.

You can go with to a nearby convenience store using a scooter, or on a midnight tour without a destination!

Wouldn't that be rude for those who use scooters? -I don't care! Call a taxi!

No, you can't go home directly using a taxi.

Go home directly?! We shouldn't head straight home from the leading figure's home!

Is there such a guy like that?! As if he just finished his part time job and is about to head home directly!

What do you mean? -We're talking about an influential person, you know?

Try to go home directly!

"Oh, my. Aren't you going to the office first to report before you go home?"

"You aren't thinking of my home as your office and me as your boss, right?"

"Alright, serialization canceled."

It's the end of the volume!

Who have you been modeling after since a while ago?

You shouldn't put your guards down! Seriously!

No, but...

But, but, but!

Are you a Taisho Democracy?

But, what?! Seriously...

All of a sudden, Misato-sensei says...

"I want to eat Jiyugaoka's black tea and chiffon cake."

And when she says it, you can go right away as long as you have a scooter.

On the contrary, I think it can handle footwork lightly.

I have a reason for everything.

You're saying that!

That's my line!

Alright, I get it! Let's use your scooter! I don't care if it's a 750cc. Follow me!

I will follow up on everything!

We barely have enough time! Let's go!

Wait. I want to go to the bathroom.

It would be nice if it was at Misato-sensei's house.

Let's go.

Aren't you something?!

I'm tired.

True.

Seriously...

It was good you went wearing a hoodie.

Right.

"Are there people out there wearing such rough clothing as they're looking at my works?"

She said that, right?

Yes.

And, what else?

The Sasakama too.

Yes.

"It's okay if people brought me Yokan,"

" But I was thinking of refusing it," she said.

As you said. -Yes.

Also, the scooter, right?

Yes.

"Can you go buy some cake for me at Daikanyama?" she said.

And then you went immediately.

Yes.

No, like are you an esper?!

You saw through everything!

What kind of abilities do you have?!

Alright, and because of that, we have closed the deal for the serialization!

You know what, now that it went well, there's no need to yell at me.

Thanks.

Huh? What did you say?

As I said...

Well, you know. Thanks.

What did you say?

Thanks!

It's not "Thanks"! It's "Thanks you!"

Why are you yelling at me now?!

I'm sowwy.

Alright! My turn!

It's not "sowwy," it's "sorry!"

I'm sorry. Give me a break since it's a day-off after all.

May it be a day-off, a holiday, or any occasion. It should be" I'm sorry"!

Even so, last time on your birthday, you said "I don't care."

You said so, right?

Did I say that? I'm that way.

What that was just now was a digression inside a digression.

Was that much more easier to understand?

We still don't get it.

I wanted to sleep more.

Are you happier to close your eyes than to look at me?

Easy to wake up! Easier as opening up both my eyelids!

In short, digression is...

We don't get it! We don't get it!

Alright, I still have one more left.

Anyway...

As soon as we wake up, we get my favorite sweets and juice!

Also...?

Where's the remote control?

There it is.

Kougu Transformation DVD!

My glow stick?

Glow stick... On!

Wako-chan...

Come here. Come here, Meguru-kun!

Before that, can we clean up a bit?

I thought it was because my luggage increased. Obviously, you have way more stuff than I do.

Really?

There is no evidence that this cardboard has been opened for a while.

What's inside this though?

How about this?

A DVD for storage and a DVD for missionary work.

Then, how about this?

An item I got without dividend, a free acrylic stand I got at the event and a cutout of a magazine.

Alright. Today's theme is cleaning up.

No, today should be "no-theme."

The tips for cleaning up are easy!

Whether it sparks joy, or not.

But these are all fragments of my joy.

But, we can't clean up with that.

Kougu Transformation goods and other things that can't be cleaned up.

Let's see which item sparks bigger joy.

The title is "What Makes Your Heart Beat Decluttering Championship"!

Digression 3: Wako and Meguru's Decluttering Championship

Let's have a good match!

First!

Skirt with frayed hem VS Kougu towel.

I need both!

If you say the same thing again, we'll throw both out.

Spartan! -Which one?

I can still wear it, but... I'll leave the towel.

Okay. Then, we're throwing this.

Alright.

My hand... I can't let my hand go!

W-What strength!

Alright. We'll keep going. -Yes.

Next is the long cardigan that was popular two years ago VS

Kougu fan.

The cardigan can be used as a lounge-wear...

But, there's no way I can let go of the fan!

Sweatshirt with spilled soy sauce VS Kougu calendar.

Sweatshirts are useful for room wear.

But the calendar...

There is no way I would throw away the calendar!

Next, this and this.

Flat Pliers!

Next, this and this. -Set forth!

Next, this and this.

Acrylic stand!

Surprisingly, the cleaning went faster.

You're amazing, Meguru-kun!

It feels good to let go of some stuff!

But...

Somehow, since a while ago...

You've been putting up Kougu goods against just about anything.

Really?

I...

You knew... that I couldn't let go of the Kougu men...

Who would have known... Who would have known!

Wako-chan.

You're thinking about this too much.

The cutest one in the whole world.

I get told that a lot.

Wako-chan.

Let's go clean up.

Yes.

Right!

Alright, here we go.

I don't have any idea how to wear this and this,

and because the season to use it has passed away, let's throw it out!

This, and this, this...

Wait!

Wako-chan, just now...

It has become decluttering.

Decluterring?

Don't get taken by the flow. You need to feel exactly if this sparks something in you.

I haven't seen you wear this outfit.

This is cute in itself,

somehow I got sick of it.

You should wear a thin belt for these tops.

It gives an impression of being tight at once.

You had a belt, right?

Well, where did I...?

Let's go look for it.

So cute!

It made your heart skip a beat, right? -Yeah, it did. It does!

I know we already put it in the box a while ago...

Floral patterns are popular this year too,

I think it will fit this shirt if you fix the hem.

Really?

Try it out.

You are so cute, Wako-chan!

So cute!

Meguru-kun.

It's much more messed up compared to a while ago.

What do we do?

What's the theme today?

Cleaning up?

Let's clean up.

Alright.

We shouldn't get derailed! -Shouldn't get derailed!

Well, we collect clothes here...

Let's separate the books and magazines that you no longer need.

This is so nostalgic!

It's you from highschool!

There's also photos of you in it!

You in uniform is so precious!

Is this Purikura? [T/N: "Purikura" shortened from the word purinto kurabu—literally "print club"—refers to Japanese photo booths that are incredibly popular]

Wait! Don't look at it!

Really!

This one...

This takes me back!

You really are so cute.

You who was still in your rough stone age, is also the best.

Thank you.

We actually had photos of the two of us.

I'm so happy.

This one.

This is my treasured photo before I got reunited with you.

No, wait!

My eyes are closed off, though!

No, it's cute!

You've always been cute and cool. The person I love the most in this world.

We got derailed again.

Let's go back to cleaning up.

We don't have to go back to it.

It doesn't matter if we get derailed from what we're talking about, or get excited with just about anything.

I'm really just happy that I get to spend such moments with you.

What a wonder.

Wasted time is more important than anything else.

Same with me, Meguru-kun.

How nostalgic!

Wait! You're taking photos secretly again!

Burst shots at that!

Don't you want to take a good shot of your favorite person?

Favorite?

Please give me two shots.

Two shots are expensive.

Then...

I'll make it a heirloom.

That's... that's...

That's my line, Meguru-kun!

Meguru-kun!

Don't go out of control!

Let's take some photos.

That's right! Digression isn't just about pointless talks.

Digression makes you get closer to someone else,

and makes your conversation even much more deep and exciting!

A tree without branches and leaves is just a stick.

Did you get it?

Somehow.

Even if it's just somehow, that's more than enough!

Next up, is this word!

"Main subject." Do you know what it means?

We don't get it!

By "Main subject," it is...

Thanks to Asahi-san, seems like the "Bakumatsu Triangle" will work just fine.

I really can't go to Sakai-san about things like this.

No way. We already have Asahi-san in our department.

That's so true!

What do you mean by that?

Shouldn't you say "Kyah!"

This very "Kira" is staring gazing lovingly into your eyes.

That was the right reaction. You were still here?

I was waiting for you. I wanted to talk to you.

What about?

I...

With you...

I seriously...

...want to have a meeting with you.

A meeting.

I want to have various meetings with you.

About the serialization, as well as...

About "Unicorn Boys".

I know you're busy.

It's just that, I don't want to get in between.

Lastly, I just seriously...

I am serious about...

No, it's because I am serious.

Seriously...

Why are you laughing?

It's just because...

I thought about how serious you are about becoming a Producer.

Is it bad to be serious about it?

Not at all.

I think it's good.

I see.

That's right, I thought it was difficult for Wako to say this to you.

For your next serialization, I was thinking of having you collaborate with "Unicorn Boys".

What a...

However, I am worried.

The two of them might be under pressure if they were in front of "My" brilliance in this universe.

Then... let's just call it off.

We are happy to accept it.

You really are you.

What?

There are parts of you that have changed, and parts of you that are still the same.

Is that... a bad thing?

I wonder?

The exit is over there, straight ahead and take a left turn.

I'm just reading manga.

I see.

You look beautiful.

You are my princess.

The lines from this manga.

Well, it was true when I said you look beautiful.

Stop it!

Did that make your heart race? -It did not!

As I thought, you really like trendy stuff like these, huh?

I don't! Moreover...

You can't keep calling me "Princess" like this when I'm working.

I like you.

My Warrior Princess.

It's fate.

The release date of this manga...

It's the day when I, "Kira", emerged into this world.

Uhh, you mean your birthday?

That's right.

I thought of something good.

I will keep my birthday open for you.

Let's go on a picnic together. -Don't just decide things on your own.

I'll write it in you notebook so you may never forget it.

Wait!

Kira's holy... -Stop it.

Come on! Hand it! -Hey! Stop it! Let go!

Stop it, stop it! -Let me write it down til the end!

We're going to close the office!

Please comply. -I'm sorry.

We were already at a good moment.

You can go outside first. I'll organize my stuff first.

Come on.

I really can't work.

Transfer?

This is Ishibe from Human Resources Department Thank you for your hardwork An organizational personnel change will happen on the 28th of June 2021. We will inform you for further notice.
