Kanagawa-ken ChinamiFan Editor Yoshinari-san is too cute~!
Hongo-ken Midori Chinami-san, be a model!
Fukuoka-ken k-co Chinami-san is super-cute. Keep doing your best!
As I predicted, I can use that girl
Chinami-san.
Yes?
After this there is a tie-up meeting with the Ad department.
Do you want to join in?
I'm thinking of leaving the venue up to you.
In return, when the time comes come work for me.
Sure.
Do your best.
As expected from the closet aggressive harpy
Prise a fool, and you may make her useful?
Excuse me...
If it's ok, I'd like to help with something too.
Oh! Thanks.
Then get us some coffee please.
Yes...
Shall I put poison in it?
I'm Sanada Miyako with the Advertising department.
Miyako-san this the first time you've met Yoshinari right.
New hire?
Yes.
Is this ok?
She has guts.
I like to think I'm grooming her.
Is that so?
I look forward to working with you.
Don't ever forget this you'll pay me back even in death
A new hire or a veteran,
In regard to clients, you become the face of Junkyo Inc.
Be sure not to mess up.
I understand.
MIINA-san has arrived.
This time the client, Kagami Pearl requested
that MIINA-san be the model.
They came up with something big.
This is a very important job to the Ad department too.
I look forward to working with you.
Looking forward to working with you.
This is highly amazing coffee.
Please look at the proposal.
This month's issue is in perfect form.
The center model announcement in the next issue
it should sell well too.
Thank you very much.
This girl is good.
If a new girl like this plays a part
even FIRST CLASS can be reborn.
We'll do our best
FIRST CLASS is
the one and only fashion magazine in our company.
There is no mistake in that, right?
Of course, why?
I heard a little rumor
Rumor?
Don't worry about it. It's only a rumor.
So, how are the results of the vote looking?
Still coming in, no announcement yet.
How many did you buy?
Enough to further the cause.
My father went around town and bought them up.
Around town?
What if it was around Japan?
Chinami-chan's pages were great.
It's became the search engine's top news.
As expected when Shizuka-san gets serious.
Not really... I shot like always.
Really? You seemed into it. Right? Nishihara.
uh, yes.
Isn't that your type?
There was love... or how should I put it...
Nishihara... everything ready?
Yes!
As expected this is heavy... this election.
It'll be ok.
Even the client this time
said it had to be MIINA-san.
You're worrying too much.
That's curious
This time China-chan saying that
I believe it.
Well...good work today.
Let's have dinner again soon.
Excuse me...
About that drug from before?
Drug?
In the restaurant restroom...
Oh the diet pill.
You said 'drug' so I didn't know what you meant.
Do you always take that much?
I saw on the net that taking too much is bad for you.
There are side effects.
Preaching to me?
I really hate that.
I'm sorry.
I know I maybe over reacting...
but even so I'm still worried about you.
I don't think you have to rely on any drugs.
MIINA-san is just fine how she is now.
You don't have to continue losing weight
so everyone will think that, right?
But MIINA-san...
That's enough.
Good work today.
Center Model General Election Result Announcement
Time's up on the center model reader's vote
Is this just as you expected?
Hurry!
Show us!
Old lady Old lady
So, I'll distribute the results. Here.
I can use this~
This is useless~
Good morning.
Oh no I'm going to laugh.
Wow bad timing!!
Don't look at her.
Poor thing.
Don't mind
Serves you right selfish woman!
Her fall from here starts.
MIINA THE END
MIINA's whole world ends.
MIINA-san...
Morning MIINA, you're early.
How did the election turn out?
MIINA is...
number 2.
What?
ERENA is number one.
But by a narrow margin.
However, as declared, starting in next month's issue
we have to change the center model to ERENA.
I'm sorry.
We have to move according to the results.
In reality,
all along you have been a huge draw as top model.
In terms of popularity and ability,
the real number one is you.
Everyone knows that.
So you make a quick come back we'll make a special feature.
Quick come back?
Are you doing another vote?
Reshuffling competition?
By doing that, people will get pumped up and sales go up.
I worked very hard.
In spite of that, why do I have to get dragged into this?
Why do I have to go through this?
Smile.
'Next time you won't lose. You'll be the top.'
I can't say it.
I don't want to say it.
I'm sorry.
What?
Third place?
3rd OTHER (Yoshinari Chinami) VOTES
OTHER (Yoshinari Chinami)
So this could happen.
That's great Chinami-san
I underestimated that girl.
Atrocious~
Feels like a famous person being cheated on
Chinami-san, another amazing thing happened.
huh?
Believe it or not,
your idea is going to be serialized.
Wow, that's really amazing.
Sicking~ Pisses me off~
German suplex
Chinami-san congratulation.
Today, the target of intercontinental ballistic missiles is you.
What's wrong?
I backed you.
I know if it's you, you can do it.
Can't you be happier?
Um...Am I good enough?
Then you're quiting?
huh?
It'd be complicated or what's that?
If you can't see this as a chance, I think it's impossible.
I do think it's a chance.
Then, you don't half-cocked ask if it's good enough, ok?
Hear that? If I feel like it, I too
can say Rumi-style good sentiment
I'm sorry.
MIINA watch closely
This brat is tying to stomp you
Hey everyone, let's hear it for Chinami-san!
Chinami-san do your best.
I will.
Well then, Chinami-san
A few words on being 3rd in the voting and your serialization
go ahead!
To MIINA-san who fell from first
Missiles firing T minus 10
I'm happy.
I will work hard to make the most of this chance.
I would be grateful for your support.
Applause!
Zero, Fire!
Kaboom!
If the votes for that girl went to me
That's right
You just might have won
Chinami-san, do you have a moment?
You're very busy huh?
Burn while you can
Oh, MIINA-san. Good morning.
I was called in by the editor-in-cheif.
Somehow, it looks like I took the top.
But, I'll probably slip in the next election.
Being chased.
My heart beats. When will I be overtaken?
MIINA-san, you always felt like this right?
O~ld La~dy
MIINA-san!
MIINA-san...
MIINA-san.
Go away!
I want to talk with you.
Talk?
When at heart you wanted to make a fool of me.
I didn't do that.
What serialization?
You didn't say anything about that.
That's...
The votes that went to you
caused my fall.
Wait a minute.
Please just listen to me.
I can't trust you!
MINNA-san!
Don't touch me!
MINNA-san.
MINNA-san!
Hang in there.
MIINA-san!
Don't...
telll anyone.
You're alright.
You can go home tomorrow.
But...
it seems your liver function is slightly weaker.
As expected it's from taking too many diet pills.
No matter how hard I try...
I'll never be Cinderella.
When the time comes
I always go back to being only a poor child.
That's what's happening...
That isn't...
The time for my dreams is over.
Having achieved my dream of being a top model
I was wrong from the start.
All this time, it was too good to be true.
I've had enough.
After having the top seat taken by ERENA
I'll go into decline.
Rather than showing that miserable form
I'll withdraw from the industry.
MIINA-san.
This...
Thanks to MIINA-san I have a lot of fun being stylish.
I love MIINA-san!
I want to be like the very gorgous MIINA-san > u < I always support you.
Whether or not you're the top
It doesn't matter to the readers, does it?
More importantly
I think is all the people waiting for you.
How many models do you think are in this industry?
Weather or not you're top doesn't matter?
Don't make me laugh.
Hundreds, thousands of models wasted away
aiming for the top.
No one understands my feelings.
Not even you.
Leave.
I'll be waiting for you tomorrow.
Day of the photo shoot
MIINA-san is still not here?
Yeah, I can't get a hold of her.
I'll go see if she is at her house.
If you please...
Nishihara!
Yes?
Bring two more lights.
Alright.
Stylist
MIINA arrives. Standby
Twelve twenty-six
Did MIINA show up?
Not yet.
Will everything be ok? The client is coming too.
It'll be fine. Please set up.
30 mins before photo shoot starts.
Please wait here.
Chinami-san, where's MIINA?
I wanted her to say hello, but she isn't in the make-up room.
She'll be here soon.
What do you mean?
She's running a little late.
15 mins before the shoot
God didn't see
A remorseful error
Great effort is not rewarded
A ball that walks a run in
Dreams don't come true
3mins before shoot
Would you like anything to drink?
No, more than that
It should be time for the shoot soon, right?
It seems the previous job has ran over a bit.
She is really coming, right?
Don't tell me she's not coming because of the results.
She's coming.
What makes you so sure?
I believe in MIINA-san.
Hope huh?
I believe.
This isn't a joke.
You people in the editorial department may think
that you are the the only ones who make a magazine.
Do you know our department frantically searching for clients
dealing with the money also makes the magazine?
Do you know how hard I've worked on this assignment?
I'm sorry.
This is a serious job.
You can't do whatever you want.
A little longer.
Please wait a little longer.
Please.
Um, I'm sorry but the strobe lamp's connector is bad.
But that's...
AH!
I'll go get a replacement cable.
I'm sorry for the inconvenience of this sudden accident.
I'm really sorry but please give me about 30 minutes.
Goodbye balk
Goodbye dead ball
Epic fail, major faux pas
Bumble, clumsiness
I'm sorry!
I'm sorry to keep you waiting.
You took too long!
Sorry!
MIINA-san?
So, where is MIINA?
Just a little longer.
Chanami-san, it's time...
Goodbye Goodbye Goodbye
Thank you for your time, all up.
I get it.
You're making a huge fool of us.
Absolutely not! We aren't doing that.
That's enough.
Excuse me...
We'll reschedule as soon as possible.
In any event.
We will think about any future business with Junkyo Inc.
I'm really very sorry.
Thank you for the hard work
That's a wrap
I will take responsibility for everything that happen.
The cause was my naivety towards work.
I'm really, really
Sorry for being late.
Sorry.
It took time to get my hair set.
I really love Kagami-san's jewelry.
Today is really an honor.
I wanted to set my hair to accompany the jewelery
then it was already this late.
I'm really very sorry.
That's my new work?
Yes!
I'll be ready for the shoot right away.
Then I leave it to you.
Ok!
China-chan let's do it.
Ok!
Everyone, please prepare for the shoot.
Takumi-kun the wardrobe, hurry.
Roger!
I'll adjust the lighting.
Hurry!
Ok!
Nishihara lower the key down a third.
A tad more forward.
Right, OK!
That's it for today.
Good work. Great job today.
Thank you very much.
Seems like it'll be a good layout.
Can we get a commemorative photo after?
Of course!
Please wait over here.
You...
You aren't cut out for this job.
What were you going to do if I didn't come?
I believed that you were going to come.
You're soft.
You really are too soft.
You're going to get crushed like that.
It's impossible like that.
Didn't I say that before?
MIINA-san...
Thank you.
Thank you for today.
You see...
I used to be really over weight.
All through my childhood.
I was the biggest at school.
I was teased and bullied.
Called ugly or unsightly.
Even I, really hated myself.
Because of that my personality is gloomy
I was never needed by anyone.
But...
My world changed when I lost weight.
It didn't matter
whether or not the diet pills worked.
I thought they did and it was important to take them.
They were like a charm to me.
But...
I don't want them anymore.
For now on...
these are my charm.
Right.
It's fine.
Thank you very much.
You're happy?
huh?
A shoot over an hour late. What are you thinking?
I'm really very sorry.
Our clients aren't just sponsors that pay money.
They're a significant partner, lifting each other's image.
Making them worried for even a moment
is unthinkable.
Next week you'll be contracted.
What?
As a freelance editor.
Make sure you don't make the same mistake again.
Yes! Thank you very much!
That's great!
You've worked hard Chinami-san.
Fully commit my encouragement to memory
And then feel obligated
She's only been here a short time.
And already at Shirayuki's level.
At best enjoy climbing Mount Takao 'Contract-sans'
We are climbing Mount Everest
No, we are getting a lift to the summit in a private jet
Still 5 more stations, we'll see whose on the summit
Contract?
Wow! That's great huh?
Your serialization is starting too.
Let's celebrate!
Let's splurge a little.
Itsuki-kun
You're kind aren't you.
Thank you.
It's because you always helped me.
No, it's nothing.
I should say that.
When I watch you, I wonder if I should be like you.
We have to do our best.
Work?
No, no! My mother.
You're not going to answer?
No, but...
It's your mother! Hurry!
Sorry...
Yes?
Itsuki, How are you?
I'm fine.
Everything is fine.
Doing well at work?
yeah...fairly
Regarding your father's company.
As we thought
I said to leave dad's company to my brother.
We want you to succeed the company, not your brother.
Sorry!
I'm working now so another time.
Matsuda Shizuka
At the usual place. Tonight 10pm
Sorry.
What did your mom want?
The usual.
More importantly Shizuka-san called me.
Is there trouble?
No she invited me out for drinks I guess.
That's tough.
But, that's proof that you're in her favor.
Day before FIRST CLASS goes on sale
What is this?
Rumi-san
What is the meaning of this?
Inquiries have come from Kagami Pearls as well.
What is going on? Explain!
MIINA rushed to the hospital!? Drug addiction the cause?
DRUG
What's wrong?
Huh? Is that Chinami-san?
Don't tell me you knew...
What is the meaning of this?
Well...
That's...
Konatsu, contact MIINA'S company.
Right!
Miyako-san, I'm sorry.
I want to apologize to the client, please get an appointment.
Excuse me...
You're nothing.
Huh?
I have no use for you.
Yes, goodbye nice knowing you
