Do you know "YD"?
"Going out in a Yukata"
Yukata de Date?
"I love BBQ"
Yakiniku Daisuki?
Wrong!
I can only do what I truly Yearn to Do... That's me, Junichiro Kagami!
Mr. Kagami, Mr. Kagami, please come to the student council room immediately.
I repeat, Mr. Kagami, Mr. Kagami, you are needed in the student council room.
Mr. Kagami! Mr. Kagami! Please come to the student council room immediately!
Junichiro Kagami! Mr.--
"Classroom of the Terminus"
"Icho Academy Class 3-2" "Student Council Head" "Makina Momozono" "(Irregular Twin-Tails)"
Junichiro Kagami--
"Student Council Head"
Stop ignoring me!
What's your problem, Irregular Twin-Tails?
Hey!
What's my problem? Why are you reading a manga in school?!
You have no common... sense...
Hey...
This is porn!
Porn, you say?
"Classroom of the Terminus" is not porn! It is literature!
It features personified deities in a school love comedy
but tackles heavy themes like history and religion
while skillfully avoiding sounding like a lecture!
It is a masterpiece that blends all that into a first-class entertainment package!
The sexy scenes are just for show.
The brass doesn't understand things like that.
Do you ever make any sense?!
Anyway! This is a list of truants in your class!
"Icho Academy Class 2-3 Long-Term Absentee Student List"
You are to visit their homes immediately
to convince them to come to school starting tomorrow.
I decline!
It's almost refreshing how clearly you turned me down.
I have to go to Akiba to buy volume three of "Classroom of the Terminus"!
Can't you just go to a nearby bookstore on your way to a student's house?!
I have to go to Anumate in Akiba to get tickets for the autographing event
by the author, Kisaki Tenjoin!
Huh?!
Damn you, YD teacher!

--313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318...
--That was too close. --313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318...
--They almost ran out of tickets. --313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318...
--Huh? --313, 314, 315, 316, 317, 318...
Hey you. What are you counting?
The number of "Classroom of the Terminus" copies sold in this store today.
Today? Like from this morning?
It's already late afternoon. You were here all day?
318 volumes. 218 people got the latest volume just from this store alone.
Are you ignoring me? Also, isn't it 318 people?
218 is right.
Because, I bought the first 100!
Wh-Why did you buy so many?
Must I state the obvious?
That is because I am the biggest fan of this manga!
I know it better than anyone!
These 100 volumes will go to libraries all over the country.
It is my destiny to spread this work to the world.
Well that's fantastic, but I think you lost count.
A couple of guys bought some volumes.
You! I lost count because of you! Idiot!
It's my fault?! I didn't ask you for your lecture!
Hmph. You wouldn't understand my feelings, number 315.
Your love towards this book is limited.
You must not understand the plot at all.
Hey. What do you mean by that?
I've read this manga way more deeply than you.
Huh?
Impossible. Nobody knows "Classroom of the Terminus" better than me.
Don't try so hard, Mr. 315.
Alright, the fight is on.
I'll show you my true power!
Any more conceited comments, little girl?
I can't believe I lost a trivia match about "Classroom of the Terminus"...
I'll admit though, you were pretty good.
You just chose the wrong person to fight.
This isn't over!
Huh?
Come to my apartment!
I'll make you admit I'm number one!
Wow, this place looks expensive.
Huh?
This is a color illustration by Kisaki Tenjoin!
Wait! This is an unreleased role-model figurine!
That's a hand-drawn draft!
Hey! This is a character design illustration!
Wait... None of these are sold on the market.
"Author"
Did your love for the manga make you fall down the path of crime?!
How did you get all these rare items?
Isn't it obvious?
I am the author, Kisaki Tenjoin!
Hey, um... I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to push you so far.
You're number one. I'll go now.
Halt!
Seriously...? You're Kisaki Tenjoin!
That's right! I'm the author! I'm number one! Get it?!
Hey, Junichiro Kagami?
I'm sending you data on the truants.
Hey! I'm busy with more important stuff!
More important stuff?! You're a teacher!
There's one student who flunked and is repeating a year,
so make sure you pay attention to that one!
I said this is not the time for...
"Icho Academy Class 2-3 Long-Term Absentee Student List"
Wha...?
"Sachiko Tanaka"
Whaaa...?
What is this...?
"Sachiko Tanaka"
This seems like the exact same face.
The truant in my class is the famous manga artist?
What's wrong?
A relative, maybe?
Or a complete coincidence...?
Whatever.
What's wrong?
Oh, the preview manga for the new series?
The deadline is three days away, right?
What? Communication error?!
The real deadline is... Tomorrow morning?!
Delay the deadline...?
Don't be an idiot. Eight pages? Easy!
Is everything all right?
I am Kisaki Tenjoin.
As long as I can see something to boil my blood,
I can draw up eight pages overnight, easily!
Something to boil your blood...?
What's your next series supposed to be about?
It's a brother-sister story, like Apollo-kun and Athena-chan from "Terminus."
Seriously?!
Excuse me?
What's wrong with big bro, making me come out so late?
Something important to discuss? What is that?
Where am I anyway?
Hey! Big bro!
What's wrong?
Hey, Suzune. It turns out we're not really siblings.
Huh...?
Surprised? I just found out too.
I didn't think that was possible.
Big bro...
I have to admit though, I'm a bit relieved...
What... Hey, what's wrong?
I don't know...
What? What?! What's going on?! What is this?!
What's wrong with big bro?
Suzune, I...
Weird... my head... is swimming...
And cut!
Huh?
How was that, sensei? Was it good material?
Yes! Definitely hot material.
Now I can draw the whole thing up!
What is going on?
Oh yeah, well, all of that was a surprise,
to get you to provide a natural reaction, for reference.
So it's all a lie...?
You did well. You can leave now.
I'm not leaving...
Huh?
My natural reaction's just starting!
Wonderful... I didn't know we humans could be so cruel...
Geez, you should have just told me.
What are you drawing, big bro?
Wow that's good!
In preparation of a situation like this,
I practiced tracing the styles of my favorite authors.
Kisaki-sensei! I've finished the background characters!
Good! I need you to work on environments next!
I have reference material in my PC.
Got it!
"Environment references" "Reference photos" "Prop references" "Entrance ceremony"
Is this it?
"Entrance Ceremony"
"Icho Academy Entrance Ceremony"
Is this...?
All done!
Yep... Yep...
This'll get the readers hearts pounding!
It's all thanks to you guys!
Thank you!
Hey, can I ask you something?
Are you Sachiko Tanaka?
I don't need to answer that question.
I'm Junichiro Kagami, Sachiko's class teacher.
I'm... not going to school.
All I want in my life is to draw, and have readers that enjoy my work.
Enjoying school life and making friends... if I had time for that,
I want to spend it on my work, to get as many readers as I can.
Even so...
As your teacher, I have to tell you this.
Keep it up, no matter what!
Huh?
Your body is no longer only yours!
It belongs to all of your readers!
Forget about school, but don't forget that!
Got it?
Y-Yes...
Phew! Good!
Now I can read "Classroom of the Terminus" without a worry.
This is my teacher...?
Go home, get changed...
Wow, I'm not sure I'll make it in time.
Don't be late, or else that pitiless witch of a student council head will punish you.
Oh look, there she is.
Hey, witch.
What did you call me?!
Did you find Sachiko Tanaka?
You have to make her come to school, no matter what!
Do you know her?
Huh? What?
I was in her class in the first year.
But then she started saying she's too busy with her manga,
and stopped coming to class.
She doesn't know anything about our school!
I can't condone giving up school for something as trivial as a stupid manga!
Well, what do you know about her manga?
Huh?
Ah well, okay, got it.
You want me to bring her no matter what, right?
That's right! Do whatever it takes!
"Classroom of the Terminus" "Latest volume, #3, now on sale"
What's wrong big bro? The bus is here.
You go ahead without me. I have to go do something.
What? Big bro! Where are you going?
Are you getting on or not?
Oh, sorry! I'm coming!
Time to start the lecture.
Another exit poll, Kisaki-sensei?
I changed my mind, you're coming to school, Sachiko Tanaka!
I'm so sorry!
I'll never be late again!
Never again? You both said the same thing yesterday!
Are you really Icho Academy students? Have some shame!
Student Council Head Makina Momozono begins her day by beating up late students.
Huh?
Sachiko Tanaka!
How on earth?!
It's simple.
Her next manga series is about a student council head.
I told her to research Makina Momozono extremely closely.
"Classroom of the Terminus" "New volume out now!"
What do you mean, go to school?
What about what you said yesterday?
Just listen.
The only person who is trying to make you go is Irregular Twin-Tails.
If we silence her, we are clear.
She just has to think, Sachiko Tanaka coming to school is more trouble than it's worth!
Okay.
You said bring her no matter what, right?
I-I did.
So I'll make sure to do plenty of thorough research,
Miss Student Council Head, Makina Momozono!
Sachiko Tanaka... You haven't changed one bit.
She said thorough research, but obviously she won't do anything during class...
Her notes are excellent.
It's almost like a textbook.
I can't stand this!
I'm home...
Oh, what a day...
I don't want to think that tomorrow will be like this too...
Hey, welcome home!
Why are you in my house?!
I didn't say we're limiting our study to the campus only.
I have to see your private life. Otherwise, my study is incomplete.
Student council drawer!
Wait!
Student council closet, and student council clothes!
Now, what's hidden in the closet drawer?
Fine! I get it!
I'll stop bugging you to come to school, so please stop!
You can study me as much as you want...
But once you're satisfied, come to school, ok?
Why do you care so much...?
Because I'm head of the student council.
Don't stop there. Let it all out.
Where did you get that?!
Sachiko... You kept that?
I didn't really keep it.
I just, uh, left it on my computer and forgot about it.
We took that photo on entrance ceremony day.
Mom! Take a photo!
Hey, you're in my class, right?
I'm Makina Momozono.
Sachiko Tanaka.
Let's take a picture together!
I was so happy to be able to get in to Icho Academy.
But you...
I'm so glad we got in to the school of our dreams!
Not me.
I kept trying to talk to you, to get you to like the school somehow.
I thought we could be friends.
But...
I don't need this school.
And you stopped showing up.
So what?
I decided, based on my own thinking, that I had no need for this school.
I never asked for your opinion!
It's great that you love your school.
Just keep it to your self, don't force it on me!
Do force it on her.
H-Hey! Whose side are you on?!
Forcing your hobbies on people who aren't interested,
that's what being otaku is all about.
Hey, I'm not an otaku!
I'm the head of the student council of Icho Academy!
So if Sachiko says this school, is no use to her,
I have to change the school so that it can be useful for her...
That's all I had in mind.
You really are an Icho Academy otaku, Irregular Twin-Tails!
That's it for today's lecture.
What are you guys doing?
I mean, Kisaki-sensei, you decided to show up?
Come to think of it, I don't know what Makina did as student council head
to change Icho Academy.
I've decided to understand the school better,
so that I can declare without a doubt that it is useless.
I, on the other hand, know nothing about Kisaki Tenjoin, Sachiko's author persona.
I've decided to let her draw in school, so that I can watch her,
and declare without a doubt that drawing manga is stupid.
It's a battle between my love of manga...
and my love of the school!
And you're gonna be our judge!
Do you understand, Junichiro Kagami?!
What a pain!
