Then, with this...

Special Thanks: AP RUELL

Ah.

Tezuka-kun, take care of yourself.

He's got the look of someone who is about to go jump onto the train tracks, huh.

He said he's going back to the countryside.

Did he fail or something?

Yeah...

Once you fail, it can be quite...

It seems I've gotten used to seeing people failing.

The sadness of leaving the capital city...

...it's only felt by the people from the regions, you won't understand.

Didn't you say... you grew up in Tokyo?

Hello, welcome.

Hello. Tomato Rolls please.

Sure thing.

Come sit...

Nice ambiance, right?

Oh... yes.

Didn't you see him along the way? Tezuka-kun.

Tezuka?

He came.

Really...

Is he okay?

He ate Tomato Rolls...

...and has gone back to the countryside.

I see, the countryside...

Ah, Master. This guy won the Newcomer Award... Hashimoto-kun.

Oh, nice to meet you.

Then, congratulations.

Drink...

Thank you very much.

Newcomer Award for what?

For manga.

"Big Comic"...

I always read that.

His winning story is set to be published in the next issue.

Right now, there are talks of having it serialized.

That's amazing, isn't it! Wait, is it okay...

...if I have his autograph now?

I wonder if it's too early.

I'm digging in.

It's delicious.

Told you.

He's called Tezuka Osami.

What a name, huh? It's his real name.

One character away from Tezuka Osamu*?

*famous mangaka

Years ago, was he...

Yeah. He was the Newcomer of the Year.

Then, I was put in charge of him.

He wanted to go home though, because he couldn't live up to his name...

In the end, he didn't become successful with us...

It seems he was drawing for some magazine elsewhere but...

I see... he had given up, huh...

Uno-san, I'm gonna do fine.

I have no intention of giving up.

I'm counting on you. 'Cause I was pushing for you in the preliminary round.

Yes. I already quit my side job yesterday.

You've burned your bridges, huh!

It's kinda exciting, isn't it!

I'll... cheer for you!

Don't interfere.

Quit bothering em.

BIG COMIC ORIGINAL "Hayate Mobius" by Hashimoto Wataru, Newcomer Awardee!

It's dangerous to rush inside trains while doors are closing so please refrain from doing so.

Can I take this?

Yes, that'll be 320 yen.

This is 1 million, huh...

That's amazing...

Bet you're happy 'cause your wish has come true.

When you turned down those job offers though, I honestly thought you were a fool.

Yamada, do you wanna read, too?

Sure.

It's 'cause I can't draw anything except manga.

Wonder if I could aim for it too...

I was told it's impossible so I quit and became a civil servant.

Ah... I'm gonna be part of a Japanese delegation.

Of what? Of teachers?

No, soccer.

Buta to tomato-maki wa ara fushigi fushigi

♫ Pork and Tomato Rolls are indeed a wonder

Aren't you a substitute teacher in high school?

♫ What an exquisite life

I'm off.

Ah! Noriko!

*Ticketing card system for trains

Sorry... but my PASMO* has expired.

Wakamiya-san, what do you think about it? Honestly.

I laughed quite a bit.

Laughed...

Though there's nothing there to laugh about.

No, when I said I laughed, what I meant was...

I wasn't simply laughing.

I was smiling after I read it.

Uno-san... What did Uno-san say?

Oh... Uno-san's busy.

'Cause they're launching a first issue right now.

No... But his opinion is of a high level so...

Anyway, the editor-in-chief isn't convinced.

Whether he wants to let you debut the series or not.

She doesn't understand it too well.

That Wakamiya-san, to be honest I don't know what to think of her.

Well for me...

I think she seems a good editor.

No but...

I think it's useless if they're not committed enough to die in this together...

The mangaka and his editor.

Well it seems, you're not trying hard enough.

Uno-san, you're committed enough to die with me, right?

Eh?

I won't lose, no matter what!

'Cause I have nothing else but manga.

Sorry... Noriko...

If you have money for drinks, pay the rent first, will you?

I love manga so much and yet...

This time, I was feeling gloomy...

I pretty much vented out my feelings directly...

...I mean into the drawings...

Why don't you try reading these kinds of references?

That person's level is just too low!

Please, just give me your opinion, too, Uno-san!

Hashimoto-kun...

Do you yourself find this interesting?

Eh?

Do you really think it's interesting?

Yes.

To be honest, it's boring.

No one's gonna pay to read this.

I don't know what Wakamiya told you but...

You're the one drawing, are you not?

If you lie to yourself, you'll be disappointed in the end.

Here. This is your last glass.

Haven't heard from him.

I guess he's not drawing.

I'm already accustomed to disappointments.

Well, it doesn't look like you are.

Even if you turned pro... those who survive from that point on...

...it'll be a struggle a dozen times over.

It's true there are guys who kill themselves...

...just cause they can't draw manga.

The guy who gave up and went back to the countryside might be happy by now.

You mean Tezuka-kun?

The newcomers I brought here and ate Tomato Rolls...

...they didn't become successful, huh?

Hey, now. Don't blame my cooking.

I'm joking.

What are you doing?

Hey!

I've had it!!

Why don't you work?

I AM working. Everyday, I'm trying to come up with a concept...

Do you think I'm stupid?

It hasn't even turned into a single penny!

It's a work that I have to build from scratch!

It's not like I a job where I punch in a time card and get a salary!

You said that you'd quickly become a mangaka...

...and go pro!

Let's break up already.

Come on!

Over there, that one.

Yeah, I get it.

You like... manga?

I also like to draw.

AHH! Shiiit!

I'm already, thinking about quitting manga.

I see.

It's better if you decide it yourself.

But I'm scared.

If you take manga away from me... I've got nothing left whatsoever.

I wonder if it's the reverse?

With the intention of getting rid of everything...

In the end, all that was left...

...was manga, wasn't it?

Welcome.

Master, long time no see.

It's me, Tezuka.

Tomato Rolls and beer.

Sure thing.

Oh, she's Yayoi-san.

Right now, we're drawing together.

Together?

Yes.

I went back home to the countryside...

I'd been doing caregiver work but... that's where we met.

Since I was in high school...

...have been drawing manga as a hobby, too.

I wanted to quickly forget about manga, that's what I thought but...

While I was talking to Yayoi-san, she also mentioned she wanted to draw...

And so, it seems I became straightforward with her.

So the two of us kept drawing and repeatedly sent our works to publishers...

Then, it finally gets to be serialized.

It's great that you've realized your dream, isn't it?

So today, no matter what, I wanted Yayoi-san...

...to come and have a taste of the Tomato Rolls here.

He's always been talking about your Tomato Rolls.

I'll make it right away.

Are you still gonna use the name "Tezuka Osami"?

Oh, sorry. Nice to meet you.

I also have been drawing.

Oh... really?

Our names will be together. I'm no longer bothered about it.

Well? You like it?

Yes! Tomatoes are sweeter when roasted. It suits the pork.

It's better, right?

Master, here's my payment.

Thank you for everything.

Yeah.

Then, Hashimoto-kun, take care of yourself.

If you've become tired, take a break from manga.

When the time comes that you feel you really want to draw...

Then, you should draw again.

'Cause I did the same thing.

Thank you.

From then on...

...he still hasn't even once come back to eat Tomato Rolls.

I'll be waiting, Hashimoto-kun.
