The same story in the same issue?
同じ号で 同じ話を
Yeah.
そうだ
That was my arrangement with Ashirogi.
亜城木君と そう話をつけてきた
And if you lose this competition,
これで負けたら
you'll need to start creating your own work with me.
そのあとは 僕と2人での打ち合わせで 作品を作っていこう
Is that fine with you?
それでいいね
Kosugi...
小杉さん
For the first time, I'm actually glad to have you as my editor!
あなたが 担当になってくれてよかったと 今 初めて思いましたよ
I still have nearly 20 advisers who can assist me.
僕を支援してくれるアドバイザーが まだ 20人近くいる
There's no way I'm going to lose!
負けるわけないでしょ
This'll be a come-from-behind victory! You'll see!
ここで必ず逆転してみせますよ
ano ne moshimo ima sugu ni kimi no moto he to
Hey, if I could go to where you are right now
ikeru naraba kono koe ga nakunattemo ii ya
then I could accept losing my voice
mezasu basho ga amari ni mo tooku
The goals I've set myself seem impossible to reach,
boku wa mou michi ni mayoisou da
and I feel lost on my path
kowareta jishaku wo ate ni shiteru n da
I'm relying on a broken compass and hiding in another's shadow
dareka no kage ni kakurete sa
nanika wo te ni ireru tame nanika wo tebanasu nante koto wo
If we keep letting go of some things in order to find something else,
tsuzukete mo kitto bokura wa otona ni wa narenai
then I'm convinced we can never grow up
tsuzukete mo kitto bokura wa otona ni wa narenai
narenai
Never

What?!
You'll run the same story in the same issue?
同じ話を 同じ号でやるの
Yep!
We told Nanamine what plot we'll be using for the combo issue.
そう 合併号でやるネタを七峰君に教えてやった
He's the one who challenged us. There's no way we'll lose.
向こうから挑んできたんだし 絶対に負けられない
But Nanamine's getting ideas from 50 people, right?
でも 七峰君って 50人にアイデア出してもらってるんでしょ
Will you be all right?
大丈夫
I'm 120% sure we won't lose!
120％ 負ける気がしない
Don't get overconfident, Shuujin!
油断大敵だぞ シュージン
It's not overconfidence.
油断じゃなく
It's analysis!
分析
Akito, you're so cool!
秋人さん かっこいい
Please enlighten us with your analysis!
その分析 お願いします
In a nutshell,
ひと言で言えば「船頭多くして 船 山に登る」だ
too many cooks spoil the broth.
Too many cooks spoil the broth.
Cooks?
船頭
What does he mean by that?
どういう意味かしら
I don't know either.
俺も よく分かんない
To put it simply,
簡単に言うと 「指示する人が多すぎると」
when there are too many people giving orders,
「統一が取れなくなり よからぬ方向へ進んでしまう」かな
things are bound to get chaotic and go awry.
Um, could you put it even simpler?
あの もっと簡単に言うと
Gathering dozens of people, selecting their best ideas, and collating them all into a single work.
何十人もの人を集めて
みんなのアイデアの中からいいものだけを抽出して
1本の作品にまとめる
Think about how much skill that would take.
これに どれだけの能力が必要か考えてみろ
Well, I certainly wouldn't able to do that.
まあ 俺には 絶対無理
Me neither.
俺にも
In fact, nobody can do that on a weekly basis.
というより それを週刊でやっていける人なんていないって
Storyboard for PCP chapter 90 /manuscript UP
Storyboard for PCP chapter 93 /manuscript UP
Assistants IN
Day Off!
Storyboard for PCP chapter 92 /manuscript UP
For such a system to work out,
あんなやり方が うまくいくとしたら
all the advisers must be genuinely talented
Assistants IN
アドバイザー全員が 本当に才能があって
and be as dedicated as the author in coming up with ideas, despite not getting any pay.
Assistants IN
無報酬にもかかわらず連載作家と同じくらい 真剣に考える必要がある
Besides, it's unlikely anyone could lead all those people effectively.
それだって 全員をまとめるリーダーシップなんて普通とれない
He gathered 50 people on the web, not even knowing who they are.
ネットで集めた素性も よく分からない50人
Let's do it like this, with everyone
Many of them would help out earnestly in the beginning,
Agreed, first let's decide whose idea we'll use for "What You Need"
最初は 真剣に協力する人も 多いだろうけど
Let's make the main character cooler
The heroine should make a good impression
I was just thinking, wouldn't it be better to switch the places of the main character and the heroine?
but some of them would eventually tire of it and start half-assing their work.
Don't forget about panty shots
It's not that kind of a manga, retard
すぐに飽きたり 適当になる人が出てくる
Who did you call retard?
Can we stop fighting and take this seriously?
He didn't include my idea that we were supposed to use
There's no pay and no responsibility involved.
Removed it because it was boring
報酬も責任もなく 顔も知らないんだ
Why did you do that?
They're anonymous.
Well, this was a good way to kill time for a while
Me too, then...
It's easy for them to just complain and quit.
文句言うのも やめるのも簡単
Pretty arrogant for someone who'll lose anyway
As for their ideas, eccentric and ridiculous ones will always stand out
アイデアも ただ 奇抜とか 突拍子もないものが目立ち
and appear attractive.
それが いいものに見えてくる
How can you tell all this?
何で そこまで分かんの
You're just speculating, right?
あくまで推測よね
It's already showing in his work.
もう作品が そうなってるんだって
He could probably manage things for the one-shot since he had time back then.
読切までは まだ余裕があったから できたんだろう
What You Need for a Meaningful School Life
This story pushes you to the edge
And mine...
Mine...
New series
Nanamine Tooru
However, despite aiming for 1st place, his first serialized chapter only came in 2nd.
でも 1位を取るはずだった連載1話目が2位
He was then continuously pressed for time, and now it's at 15th place.
そこからは もう余裕がなくなり 今は15位
Recently, What You Need has only been featuring storylines that overlap with PCP's.
最近の「有意義」は「PCP」にかぶせるアイデアを陳列してるだけ
That shows that Nanamine isn't good at selectively choosing and compiling great ideas.
本当に生かすべきアイデアだけを選んでまとめる能力は
七峰君には ないって事
Actually, I don't think anybody is.
つうか 誰だろうと そんなの無理
Man, it's tough to work with such a clichéd setting.
aaaStandard tactics are fine, but you'll need a big twist at the end.
aIt's all about how fabulously he'll win.
How about a moving speech and some event that can serve as the backbone?
「しかし ありがちな設定だけに難しいぞ」
Standard tactics are fine, but you'll need a big twist at the end.
「正攻法もいいけど大どんでん返し」
It's all about how fabulously he'll win.
「いかに華麗にカッコよく勝たすか」
How about a moving speech and some event that can serve as the backbone?
「感動の演説とバックボーンになる出来事なんて どう」
Everyone's trying really hard to come up with ideas.
みんな 真剣に意見を出してる
I can win with this!
これなら いける
With Chapter 11 in the 5-6 combo issue,
5 6合併号の11話で 一気に 「PCP」の上に行く
we'll finally beat PCP!
December 11, Friday
It's already been pushed this far back at just Chapter 8.
8話目で この掲載順
It obviously hasn't been doing so well on the surveys.
どう考えても アンケート 取れてるとは思えない
It's Kosugi from Weekly Shounen Jack.
「『週刊少年ジャック』の小杉です」
Nanamine, regarding the storyboard you sent me...
七峰君 送ってもらったネームだけど
I never asked you about that.
そんな事は聞いてません
The only thing I want to know from you is the ranking.
僕が小杉さんから聞きたいのは順位だけです
Chapter 8 placed 16th.
8話目の本ちゃん 16位
16th?!
It's been in double-digit rankings since the fourth chapter.
16位
I'm telling you that Chapter 11 is going to change all that!
It's about to get canceled!
完全に打ち切りコース
My life would be ruined if that happened!
打ち切りになったら 俺の生活は
I can't go back to the countryside now!
もう田舎にも帰れない それこそ ホームレスに
I'll become a hobo!
The second chapter will be done soon,
and it's quite a step up from the first.
Oh, that's Nakai for you.
He's a first class assistant
Then, let's discuss the 4th chapter
One theory is that chapter 4 is the result of the survey about chapter 1

If only they could come up with a more interesting story!
あいつらが もっと面白い話を
考えてくれていれば
Yeah! There's nothing wrong with the art!
そうだよ 絵は描けてるんだ
December 25, Friday
The January 4th combo issue.
1月4日売り 合併号だ
Oh!
This is the showdown issue!
直接対決の号
Since you both ran the same story in the same issue,
こうして 同じ号に同じ題材で載ると
I doubt anyone would've voted for both of you in the survey.
両方に アンケートを入れる人はいないと想像がつく
Yeah.
そうですね
If they'd voted, it would've been for the one they found more engaging.
入れたとしてもどっちか面白かった方にだけでしょうね
Exactly.
そういう事だ
What? Another private message?
「なんだ また裏会議か」
Username
You've practically abandoned the public chat already.
「表の会議よりこっちばっかりだな」
Nanamine's lying to us about the ranking, isn't he?
「七峰 やっぱり僕達に嘘の順位 教えてるんじゃ」
Username
If he is, then I'm quitting.
「嘘だと分かったら 僕は やめます」
I don't really care about the rankings.
Username
「俺 別に順位なんてどうでもいいよ
What matters is that I'm taking part in a work serialized in Jack.
『ジャック』作品に参加してる事に意義がある」
I don't really care about the rankings. What matters is that I'm taking part in a work serialized in Jack.
Yeah, I just find it fun to observe Nanamine Tooru, the manga artist. Well, isn't that the only reason we're still hanging around?
The only people who actually cared quit already.
A
Yeah, I just find it fun to observe Nanamine Tooru, the manga artist.
「確かに マンガ家 七峰 透君を見てるのは 面白い」
Well, isn't that the only reason we're still hanging around?
「まあ 今 残ってる人は 皆その程度だろ」
The only people who actually cared quit already.
「責任感あったら やめてるって」
You're all like "It's not my manga, so whatever." Assholes.

January 8, Friday
It'll take a while to fix this.
これなら ちょっとや そっとじゃ 直らないだろ
I'll ask for the survey results when the editor is here to pick up the manuscript.
「本ちゃんの結果は担当が 原稿を取りに来る時に聞く事になってます」
In the meantime, let's start brainstorming for the next chapter.
「それまで 次の話のアイデアを出していきましょう」
Let's think up new ideas

Yes?
はい
Sorry to bother you Nanamine, but the copier broke.
七峰君 すまない コピー機の故障だ
What?
I need it to copy something before the editor comes.
担当さん 来る前にコピーしなきゃいけないのに
You're good with machines, right?
七峰君 メカに強いよね
Sheesh.
しかたないな
This is terrible!
ひどいな 一体 どんな使い方すれば こんな詰まり方するんだ

「そうだ 中井だ」
What You Need has placed 16th for two weeks in a row.
「『有意義』2週連続 16位」
It could get canceled any time now.
「もう いつ打ち切られてもおかしくない」
Anyway, I'm counting on you guys for an interesting story.
「とにかく面白い話を頼む」
Anyway, give me
16th place twice in a row?
A
Nanamine... What a terrible guy.
「七峰 最低だな 俺 もうやめる」
I'm quitting.
Me too.
「私も 嘘峰先生 さようなら」
Bye-bye, Mr. Liarmine.
Hey, don't just quit and leave more work for the rest of us.
「おい これ以上やめると一人の重荷が」
Well, I'm outta here too.
「じゃあ 俺も」
Shoot, then me too.
「やべ 俺も」
Guys!
「って おい あれ 誰もいない」
Huh?
Nobody's here?
Then me too.
「じゃ 俺も」
W-Wait!
えっ ちょ ちょっと
I said don't talk, but...
しゃべるなっていうか おい誰か
Hey, is anyone here?!
What are you doing?!
何をしてるんだ 貴様
Um, it seemed like things were going downhill so...
いや このままじゃまずいと思って
Outta the way!
どけっ
Hey, guys!
「おい 誰か 誰かいるか」
Anyone there?
It's Kosugi from Weekly Shounen Jack.
「『週刊少年ジャック』の小杉です」
Damn it!
I-I'll get the door.
くそ 何だ あいつら
僕 出てくるよ
What's wrong with them?!
Happy New Year.
明けましておめでとう
H-Happy New Year.
お おめでとうございます
Where's Mr. Nanamine?
先生は
He's in his room as usual.
いつもどおり部屋にいますので
Now if you'll excuse me...
僕は これで
I'm coming in, Nanamine.
七峰君 入るよ
What's wrong?
どうした
Ranking...
順位
What's this week's ranking?
今週の順位は
If that's good...
それさえ良ければ
We completely lost.
完敗だよ
What?!
It placed 19th.
19位
19th?!
じゅ 19位
What about PCP?
「PCP」は
3rd place.
3位
Usually, most of the people who voted for What You Need also voted for PCP.
「『有意義』に入れる人は『PCP』にもほとんど入れている」だったのが
That wasn't the case this time, however.
「『PCP』に入れた人は『有意義』には誰も入れない」になった
The final counts were 240 votes for PCP
票数「PCP」240票 「有意義」41票
and 41 votes for What You Need.
Nanamine!
七峰君
That's totally hopeless!
全然 駄目じゃん
I lost!
負けたあ
Damn it!
くそ
I thought this was a good way to do it.
いいやり方だと思ったのに
19th place, huh?
19位ですか
It dropped quite a bit again.
また随分 落ちましたね
While both using the same theme, PCP had a far superior story and art.
同じ設定で 絵も話も「PCP」の方が上
One could say it all came down to the reader's judgment.
読者が そう判断したと言っていいだろう
What have you been looking at this whole time?
さっきから 何 見てるんだ
The first fan letter Nanamine sent us.
七峰君が最初にくれたファンレター
and Intelligence" in Jack NEXT , I've become a big fan of you
I've been making manga stuff since sixth grade
but now I'm determined to become a real
manga artist like you
I hope this can make Nanamine mend his ways.
これで七峰君が やり方を改めてくれれば いいんだけど
This might sound irresponsible,
無責任かもしれないが
but we have to leave the rest to Kosugi.
あとは小杉に任せるしかない
They need to work it out on their own.
ここからは 2人の問題だ
Man, I give up.
やめ やめ もういいや
I've had enough.
The serialization isn't over yet!
まだ連載は終わってないんだ
And you promised to start working with me if you lost!
それに負けたら 僕とやり直す約束だろ
That would just make me a pathetic loser.
その負け方も悪すぎる
It's over.
終わりだ
It'll get canceled at the next meeting anyways.
どうせ 次の会議で打ち切りなんだろ
The meeting is on January 29,
会議は 1月29日
so next week's results will still be taken into account.
つまり まだ次週の結果は 考慮される
It might avoid getting canceled if it climbs up the rankings!
ここで順位を上げれば 打ち切りは免れるかもしれない
It's too early to give up!
まだ諦めるのは早い
Climb up the rankings?
順位を上げる
How?
どうやって
Nakai screwed up, so all of my web advisers are gone.
ネットのアドバイザーは中井のバカのせいで 全員いなくなった
Nakai's fired now, of course.
当然 中井もクビだ
No one can save me at this point.
もう できるやつは 誰もいねえよ
So work with me!
だから 僕と一緒に
If I worked with you, it'll only make it worse.
あんたとじゃ下がっても 上がる事はない
That much I'm sure of.
それだけは はっきりしてるよ
You won't know unless you try!
やってみなければ 分からないだろ
I already do.
分かってるって
I don't want to look pathetic.
とにかく みっともないのは やなんだ
Don't say things like that.
ふざけた事 言うな
Do you realize how many people aim for a serialization
どれだけの新人が連載を目指し そして できずにいると思ってるんだ
but continually fail to get one?
So if I quit, it'll open up a spot and bail one of them out, right?
じゃあ 僕がやめる事で一枠空いて 一人救われるだろ
Huh?
Wh-What are you doing?!
な 何すんだ
I hate you, but I liked how you did everything in your power to succeed.
僕は君が大嫌いだが
何が何でも上を狙う姿勢は嫌いじゃなかった
Or rather, I admired you for it!
いや むしろ見上げたものだと思ってたのに ここで諦めるのか
And now you're telling me you're giving up?!
I told you, it's over already.
だから もう終わったんだよ 何度も言わせんなよ
Don't make me repeat myself—
It's not over!
終わってない
I won't let that happen!
終わってたまるか
You have talent, Nanamine!
七峰君には 才能がある
You're the one who came up with Classroom of Truth!
「シンジツの教室」のもとは君が作った
You even did most of the art by yourself!
絵だって ほとんど自分で描いた
Right?!
そうだろ
I had a lot of free time back then.
あの時は 時間があったんだって
And the only idea I came up with there
アイデアも自分で思いついたのは「嘘をつくと消される」ぐらい
is the one about people getting eliminated when they lie.
I got stuck after that.
あとは さっぱり
That's what I'm here for!
僕がいるだろ
I can give you advice and help you out from now on!
これからは 僕が アドバイスするし 助ける
We'll work together and try again!
2人で やり直せばいい
You and I aren't leaving this room until you agree with me on that!
僕とやると言うまでは 帰らないし 帰さない
What?!
Assault and confinement...
傷害に監禁 まともじゃねえ
You're nuts!
Leave.
帰れよ
I'm not leaving until you agree to start working with me!
「2人で やっていく」と言うまでは帰らない
Then I'll leave.
じゃあ 俺が帰る
Get out of my way.
どけよ
I suppose you fancy yourself as one of those passionate editors,
熱血の編集演じてるつもりだろうけど
but they're so outdated now.
今の時代 そんなの はやんねぇって
Nope. Shounen manga needs more passion, crudeness, and sweat.
いや 少年マンガは「熱血」「泥臭さ」「汗臭さ」がもっとあるべき
That's my philosophy.
というのが 僕の持論だ
Then it doesn't match mine.
なら 俺には合ってない
We'll never get along if you think that way.
で そんな考えの あんたとはとことん合わない
Step aside.
どけ ほら
You hate me, right?
あんたも俺の事が嫌いなんだろ
Why you'd do something this ridiculous is a real mystery to me.
何で そこまで バカな事できるのか 謎だわ
Why? Of course, it's...
何でって 決まってるだろ
...because I'm your editor, Nanamine!
僕は 七峰君の担当だからだ
This guy actually seems determined to stay here for days.
こいつ マジで 何日もここに居そうだ どうかしてる
He's crazy.
H-He's asleep.
ね 寝てやがる
How stupid can he get?
どこまでバカなんだ
See ya.
じゃあな
Nanamine... What a terrible guy.
「七峰 最低だな」
Bye-bye, Mr. Liarmine.
「嘘峰先生 さようなら」
Then I'll quit too.
「じゃ 俺も」
That's what I'm here for!
僕がいるだろ
I can give you advice and help you out from now on!
これからは僕が アドバイスするし 助ける
We'll work together and try again!
2人で やり直せばいい
Oh no!
しまった
Nanamine...
七峰君
You're so loud.
うるさいな
Nanamine!
七峰君
It's morning, so please don't speak so loudly.
朝から 大声出さないで下さいよ
I don't want to annoy the neighbors.
近所迷惑ですから
Sorry.
あっ ごめん
"Sorry" isn't gonna cut it.
「ごめん」じゃないですよ
You fell asleep and left me alone
作家放り出して 寝落ちですか
after telling me we'd work together.
「2人でやっていく」なんて言っておいて
It's my storyboard.
ネーム
Y-You drew it?
か 描いたのか
Cancellations will be decided at the next meeting.
次の会議で打ち切りが決まる
I'll work on my own until then.
そこまでは 一人でやる
Then it'll all be over.
それで全て終わり 文句ないはずだ
That should satisfy you.
Well...
いや
I don't want to hear complaints from an editor who talks big then falls asleep.
かっこいい事 言って
自分は寝てるような担当に とやかく言われたくない
Just read it over quickly and leave.
さっさと読んで 帰ってくれ
Sure!
January 11, Monday
I want to draw another romance manga, no matter what!
私は どうしても恋愛ものでもう一作 描きたいんです
Oh, but you have to remember that the NATURAL anime is ending in March.
それより 3月で「NATURAL」のアニメが終わるんだ
You need to make sure it doesn't drop in popularity.
人気を落とさないようにしないと
I know that!
分かってます
Okay!
はい
I'm looking forward to the anime version of GIRI!
「GIRI」のアニメ 楽しみです
I can't wait to see it!
早く見たいです
It looks like they put a lot of effort into modeling the bikes.
バイクの設定かなり気合い入ってたな
It was so-so.
まあまあだったな
Iwase hasn't changed a bit.
岩瀬 相変わらずだな
GIRI's getting an anime.
「GIRI」アニメ化 羨ましい
I'm so jealous.
Ashirogi!
亜城木先生
Takahama!
高浜さん
Long time no see.
お久しぶりです
Seigi no Mikata is pretty good.
「正義の三肩」いいですね
It seems to be getting a stable fanbase too.
人気も定着してきたし
Thank you for the compliment.
ありがとうございます
Actually...
実は
Seigi no Mikata is getting a TV drama adaptation!
「正義の三肩」テレビドラマ化 決定しました
Drama?!
ドラマ
Amazing!
すっげえ おめでとう
Congratulations!
Mikata is more suitable for drama than anime, after all.
「三肩」は アニメっていうよりドラマ向きだもんな
Yes.
はい
They're all amazing.
みんな すごいな
Yeah, I envy them.
羨ましい
Kosugi!
小杉さん
Ashirogi!
亜城木君
Good work.
お疲れさまです
Good work!
お疲れ
Thank you for accepting my unreasonable request last time.
この間は 無理を聞いてもらって ありがとう
No problem.
いえ
How is Nanamine?
どうですか 七峰君
He's been drawing storyboards by himself since then.
実は あれからは一人で ネームを描いてるんだ
What You Need did get canceled,
「有意義」打ち切りは決まっちゃったけど
but we'll be working hard together starting from now on.
これからも 2人で 頑張っていくよ
That's good!
そうですか
What are you telling them, Kosugi?
何 話してるんですか 小杉さん
What? I'm just thanking them.
何って お礼を
Ashirogi, long time no see.
亜城木先生 お久しぶりです
Yeah.
You completely defeated me.
完敗でした
I couldn't beat PCP no matter how hard I tried.
どう あがいても「PCP」には 勝てなかった
However...
けど 次は 必ず勝ちますから
I'll win for sure next time.
We won't lose to someone who set Ashirogi Mutou as his bar, either!
僕たちも 亜城木夢叶を目標にしてきた七峰君に負けるわけにはいかない
Yeah!
We'll stay on top so that you'll have a goal to pursue!
目標として 必ず上にいてみせる
See you.
僕は これで
The New Year's party just started!
まだ新年会 始まったばかりなのに
It's fine.
いいんです
I only came here to say that to Ashirogi.
亜城木先生にこれを言いに来ただけですから
Wait!
ちょっと
Hold on, Nanamine!
待ってくれよ 七峰君
Let's have our next meeting!
次の打ち合わせ やっちゃおうよ
I'm glad we went to the New Year's party.
来てよかったな 新年会
Yeah, seeing everyone keeps me motivated.
みんなに会うと やる気もらえる
For sure.
Oh yeah, Saikou.
だな
そうだ サイコー
Are you going to the reunion?
同窓会 行く
The elementary school one?
小学校の シュージンは
Are you going, Shuujin?
Hmm...
I might if Naoi Ichiko's going.
直井いちこちゃん来るなら 行くかも
I wanna see Yama again.
俺は ヤマちゃんに会ってみたい
All right! Let's adjust our work schedule so we can make it there.
よし 行けるように仕事の調整してみようぜ
Sure thing.
What?! Kaya caught a cold?!
香耶ちゃんが風邪ひいた
Yeah.
うん 急に熱 出しちゃって
She suddenly came down with a fever.
I'll be taking her to the hospital.
これから病院に連れていく
Just go to the reunion, Akito.
秋人さんは 同窓会 行きなさい
I can go to the hospital by myself!
You hear her?
聞こえてる
She's saying that, but I'm still worried about her.
本人 こう言ってるけど 心配だから
I'm fine! You worry too much!
Yeah, take care.
うん お大事に
BAR
Bathroom
Huh?
Is that you, Mashiro?
あれ もしかして真城
Oh, yeah.
Ashirogi is here!
亜城木先生が 到着しました
Oh, we've been waiting!
お 待ってました
The star has to arrive fashionably late, huh?
やっぱ主役は遅れて来るもんだな
Mashiro, there's a seat right here!
真城 ここ空いてるぞ ここ
It's no fun sitting around just guys. Come here!
そんな 男ばっかの所より こっちよね
Shut up!
I want to talk to him about manga!
Go ahead and take a seat.
ほら 座った 座った

I should've brought some autograph paper too.
俺も色紙 買ってくればよかった
Tada!
ジャーン 私はこれに
Draw one on this for me!
You bought our volume!
コミックス 買ってくれたんだ
Thanks!
My nephew loves it and always imitates it!
ありがとう
甥っ子が大好きで
いつも まねしてるよ「メジャーストラップ」って
He's even got "Major strap!" down pat!
My little brother got scolded once for imitating one of PCP's perfect crimes in middle school.
うちの弟なんて 中学で 「PCP」の完全犯罪まねして 怒られたって
Sorry about that.
ごめん
Have you met Oda, the author of One Piece?
「ONE PIECE」の尾田先生に会った事ある
Well, just a few times.
まあ 数回だけど
Then how about Kishimoto?
じゃあ 岸本先生には
Give him a break, guys.
もう いいかげんにしてやれよ
Saikou can't relax like that.
サイコー 落ち着けないじゃん
Oh, Yamashita, of course.
さすが山下
Yama?!
ヤマちゃん
Saikou, you listening to me?
サイコー 俺の話 聞いてる
Oh, you'll be working in the KNN? That's amazing.
KNNに内定か すごいな
You're way more amazing.
お前の方が すごいって
I heard you'd given up on becoming a manga artist after your uncle passed away.
おじさんが亡くなったあとマンガ家になるの諦めたって聞いてたから
Yeah.
Are you busy?
忙しいのか
Yeah.
まあ
I've had time to attend driving school at least once a week recently, though.
でも 最近は 週に1回 教習所に行く時間が取れるようになった
I see.
そっか
Yeah.
Here!
はい 先生 どうぞ
Here you go, Sensei!
Oh, thanks.
どうも
Oh, Ichiko, that's nice of you.
いちこ 気が利くじゃん
So this is Ichiko, huh?
この子が いちこちゃんか
Are you okay with beer?
ビールでいい
Oh, I don't drink alcohol.
俺 酒飲めないや
At all?
全然
Don't manga artists go drink at Ginza or something?
マンガ家って 銀座とかで 飲んだりしないの
I've never been to places like that.
そんな所 行ってないって
Then where do you guys hang out?
じゃあ どこで遊んでるの
We don't hang out, nor do we have time to.
遊んでないし 遊ぶ暇もない
What?!
Well, on weekends we make the storyboard that becomes a basis for the manga,
えっと 土日で ネームっていうマンガのもとになるものを作りながら
and I draw the manuscript by Friday.
金曜までに原稿を描く
And the cycle repeats every week.
毎週 これの繰り返し
There's no break!
休みないじゃん
Mashiro!
真城
We're trying to plan a ski trip.
今 スキー行く計画立ててるんだけど どう
Wanna come?
Oh no, I might hurt my hands.
いや 僕は
手 骨折したりできないし
And besides, I don't have free time.
それに行く暇がないから
Oh, sorry for asking.
何か 悪い
I'll go.
私 行く それ
Ichiko, you're so sociable.
いちこ つきあいいいね
It must've been tough.
大変だったろ
Well...
まあ 中3の時から ひたすらマンガだけって感じで 他には
I've been occupied with manga since my third year of middle school, so other than that...
You devoted your entire youth to it, huh?
青春の全てを懸けたってとこか
What sort of line was that?
何だよ そのセリフ
Did I sound too old?
ちょっと臭かったな
Yama!
ヤマちゃん
What is it?
Sorry about this, but can you come here and take charge?
何
悪いけど 仕切ってくんない
We need some help deciding on a few things.
話まとまんなくて
You guys are so helpless.
しょうがないな
Talk to you later, Saikou.
サイコー また後でな
Yeah.
All right, let's hear when each of you is free to go.
じゃあ まず 全員の希望 聞こうか
Sometime in February for me.
俺 2月中
I can make it some time in March.
私 3月くらいなら
Late February would be good.
I should have some free time after January.
2月下旬なら
私は1月過ぎれば 割と合わせられる
Hang on.
I can't sort it out if you all talk at once.
待てよ 一度に言われても 整理できねぇよ
Take turns when you talk.
一人ずつ 順番に言ってくれ
So it's February for you, right?
はい 2月中ね 他は
How about the others?
Saikou!
サイコー
Is it over?
終わっちゃった
Yeah. They're having an after-party, but I need to work on the manuscript.
2次会やるみたいだけど 俺は 原稿あるから
Oh, come on!
何だよ
I'll go back too, then.
じゃあ 俺も帰ろ
How's Kaya holding up?
香耶ちゃん 大丈夫
She was given an IV drip, so she should be okay now.
点滴も打ってもらったし もう大丈夫だと思う
She kept bugging me to go.
それに 行け行け うるさくて
Why don't you go to the after-party, then?
じゃあ 2次会 行けば
If you're not going, then I won't.
サイコーが行かないなら いい
How was the reunion?
どうだった 同窓会は
Huh?
Oh, they all seemed to be having fun.
みんなは 楽しそうだったよ
"They"? Didn't you have fun?
みんなって
サイコーは楽しくなかったのかよ
It was nice seeing old friends like Yama.
ヤマちゃんや 懐かしい顔に会えてよかった けど
But...
But what?
けど
We're different from them.
俺たち みんなとは違うんだよな
Huh?
Since our third year in middle school, all we've done is manga,
中3の時から ずっとマンガだけで ほとんど遊んでないじゃん
and never really went out and had fun.
Do you wish you could've had fun like normal people?
やっぱり 人並みに遊びたかった
Nah.
いや 遊んでなかったから 今があるんだし
I am who I am now because I didn't.
I think I spent my time well.
充実してたと思ってる
It's just that I felt I'm different from them.
ただ みんなとは違うなって感じただけ
It's just like your beloved Ashita no Joe manga.
それこそ サイコーの好きな 「あしたのジョー」だな
Yeah, I've worked pretty hard.
ああ 頑張って やってきた
I poured my whole self into this without letting myself get sidetracked.
脇目もふらず 一生懸命に そして連載してる
And now I've got a serialization.
I see.
そうか そうだよな
You're right.
We're still trying to achieve our dream, though.
まだ 夢の途中だけどな
We still haven't beaten Eiji,
エイジにも勝ってないし
and the only 1st place ranking we've gotten so far is from PCP's first chapter.
「PCP」の1話目でしかアンケート1位も取ってない
Not to mention not getting an anime adaptation.
そして アニメ化も まだ
Yeah.
We're definitely not there yet.
確かに夢の途中 まだまだだし
We still have a long way to go, and we can't afford to hang out like everyone else.
人並みの遊びなんて できない
But we're happy.
けど 俺たちは 幸せだよ
We came this far with our dream.
夢を持って ここまでやれてる
We might have missed out on linking up with our peers,
ベタな青春は送ってないかもしれないけど
but we've been inking those pages.
俺たちは ベタを塗る青春
And it's fine that way.
それでいい
Let's keep working hard to achieve our dream.
これからも頑張ろうぜ
夢に向かって
Yep!
I'm back.
ただいま
That was fast!
Why aren't you resting?!
早っ
何で ちゃんと寝てないんだよ
I got hungry after the fever went down.
Complications
in the Diet
熱が下がったら おなか すいちゃって
You're better, then.
元気じゃん
Yeah, I'm fine now!
もう全快
Just get plenty of rest.
無理すんなよ
Yep!
But jeez, the news is all bad today.
それにしても いやなニュースばっかり
I wonder if there's news that'd really cheer me up.
なんか こう パーッと明るくなるようなニュース ないかしら
There was only a letter left in the vault.
「金庫室に置き手紙が残されているだけでした」
The police announced that the door to the back of the vault was wrenched open,
Bank Robbery?
「警察の発表では 金庫室へと通じる裏口の扉が こじあけられており」
and a letter was found inside the vault.
「金庫の中に置き手紙を発見したとの事です」
You see, this manga, which is currently serialized
「実は ある雑誌に主人公が完全犯罪を行うマンガが連載されておりまして」
in a certain magazine, has protagonists that commit "perfect crimes."
It featured a case very similar to this incident.
「作品の中に 大変 似た事件が」

Break into a bank, take nothing, but leave a note saying "I got in."
How cool is that!?
Yeah, pretty cool
And it doesn't harm anyone.
But wouldn't that destroy the reputation of the security firm?

Oh, I guess so

And of the bank itself, too

It's not realistic in the first place, either.
