I want Tokiko to be more confident.
But I think, "When girls see Tokiko..."
"...they'll think, 'Ah, I want to be like Tokiko'..."
That's the sort of person I want you to be.
There are no particular subjects for us to draw here, are there?
Yeah... There aren't.
Eh? What was that?
It was nothing.
You've been drawing a manga using Mineko as a model, haven't you?
Eh? You have?
Yes, well...
Eh? Then I'm in it, too?
Ah, it's just a tiny part, though.
Eh? Lemme see, lemme see it.
No, no, no. That's okay, that's okay.
Am I in it?
Ah, yes... Well, yes...
Then show it to me. Never mind that and show me.
Show it to us!
Eh! Wonder what we're like?
Here, here, here...
Eh? What is this?! Is this even a human?!
I'm huge here!
I'm twice Mineko's size! This is just strange!
No, no, no... Um, this is just a manga...
Now, now, now, now. What about me?
And me? And me?
I'm sorry, you're not in it.
Huh? Why not?
He's right!
I'm an important figure in her life.
No, no, no. It's not like that...
I'm in it, right? I've been quite involved in her life recently, right?
Ah, sorry. You have no particular features to you.
What do you mean by that?
Hey, what is this...
I'll redraw all this myself.
What are you saying?!
No, no, no!
Please stop!
And put Ichiro-san in right here.
Help us!
Ah, Kuniko-san!
Hello.
Ah, Kuni-chan.
Ah... it's been a long time since I was out in Akasaka during the day...
Is your health okay?
Yeah.
I've just been letting myself get a tad too giddy recently.
I keep forgetting how old I am!
Ehh...
This is enough, Yuka. Go to where the others are.
Since I'll be here enjoying the sounds of women's voices.
Yeah. All right.
See you again. Next time I'll bring you a gift.
You should.
I see... You've decided, Ya-chan.
Yeah.
About what?
Um, we've been thinking...
...of adopting a child.
Ehh...
I see. You've decided on it, Goro-chan.
Yeah.
We saw how you and your son had no problems with it.
You've made for a proper father and son.
Goro-chan...
I see.
All of you be good friends to the child.
Counting on you.
Leave it to us.
Yeah.
A girl would be nice.
Really?
Yeah.
I'd love to have a girl.
One like Yuka, when she was little.
Eh?
An adorable girl!
Yatsue-san!
She was adorable, wasn't she?
She was SO adorable!
It's very difficult to do.
It seems I'm considered to be an impertinent fellow at the company.
I tell them to do their work properly...
...and to only talk when it's necessary...
...but they'll say things behind my back like, "though just a woman," or "though just a child"...
That really pisses me off somehow.
Yeah...
I feel it's just so worthless...
Don't lose to them.
Yes. Thank you very much, Senpai!
Yudai-sensei is overseas?
Yes.
He said young artists in this country...
...should make the effort to study in places like Europe and such.
Sachiko's Husband Takashima Yudai
Wonderful!
And so he's gone to Vienna.
Eh? For how long?
Two years.
Really...
Yes...
I do feel happy about it and that it's an incredible thing, but...
Yeah. You'll be lonely, won't you?
Yes.
I'm thinking about bringing my Grandma to Tokyo.
Really? From Fukushima?
She said she was worried about it...
...and felt that at her age she might not like being in Tokyo.
But when I went back home once and talked to Grandma about it...
...she said, "I do want to be with Sumiko."
And so... we decided to do it!
I see...
You're great, Sumiko. I see...
Huh?
Ah... Saori-san!
Hello.
Ah, let's see... this is Saori-san.
She's the daughter at the rice dealer shop where Mitsuo works...
She's my friend.
I see. Welcome.
I'm Saori. Nice to meet you.
How's Mitsuo? Doing well?
Yeah. He says he'll come see the contest.
I see...
How's Tokiko?
Yeah. Tokiko's doing well.
Then, it's time to go.
Yes.
Yeah.
Then, let's go!
Yes!
Let's go for it!
Again?
Without even getting drunk first?

Tokiko!
What's the matter, Mineko?
I've... gotten a job.
Eh? Really?
Yeah.
I'll be at the same factory as you, Tokiko!
Thank goodness!
I'm so happy... Mineko!
Tokiko...?
I...
I... was really scared...
I've been... so scared all this time...
I was so scared about going to Tokyo all by myself.
Go!
I'm Sukegawa Tokiko!
In all of Japan!
No, in all the world!
Girls!
Women!
Women will face all sorts of difficulties in their lives...
But...
But!
Leave the future of girls to me!
Everyone, follow me!
Tokiko, you're the greatest!
The greatest!
For that wonderful you
Sutekina kimi no tame
Hey Hey Macks, won't you be my love
And then let's you and I walk
