On this side, she's working on her release for winter Comiket.
Chapter 6: One Step Forward
While on the other side, she's reading.
Hey, Saitou.
What?
Would you tease me if I told you I wanted to become a mangaka?
Nope.
Honestly, it's the only thing you're good at.
Well, truthfully...
I want to debut with a shoujo manga,
so I secretly created something to submit.
Really?
You're actually doing a shoujo manga?
I worked hard to create my own style
so it wouldn't look like a doujinshi work.
I was worried that my doujinshi background would be obvious.
I went to a lot of trouble
making sure the setting was more common place.
Really? Let me look...
Shinmoto,
it's still pretty obvious to me.

She's sending it by special delivery tomorrow.
Say what?
Hmm?
Chiko-nee's trying to become a mangaka?
I've never read any of the manga you've drawn! I want to!
So exciting!
T-This day has finally come...
Mosaics
The only one I have available
Mosaics
is the boy love doujinshi I wrote for Summer Comiket.
Mosaics
But if I show it to Chika, who's basically the public...
Mosaics
There's no way! Not a chance!
Mosaics
I'm sorry, I don't have copies of any of them around at the moment.
What? That sucks...
Oh ye, distressed youth...
What?
I'll show you all the manga your sister created and gave me
back when we were in middle school.
Woah!
They're at my house, you see.
Show me!
You bully!
No! Absolutely not!
She used a college B-type notebook to create her manga.

Yes?
What is this?
My heart's beating really fast...
I've made a contract with you!
That's so cool...
You see, I'm an angel.

I'll leave it to your imagination what manga she made

You know, my sister's aiming to become a mangaka.
Oh, that's amazing.
Are mangakas really amazing?
If her titles become best sellers, sure.
Lots of money and other stuff.
Stuff like appearing on television?
There are shows that cover that kind of thing.
So I might get to appear on television with her, too?
Yeah, probably.
W-What should I do?
If that happens, I might get discovered by Hollywood!
Try being successful in Japan first.
Today's excitement may lead to a future windfall.
Cash service
Whew, I got my first entry submitted.
Even though I won't find out the results until later, I'm nervous.
Oh well, it's not like I'm expecting to succeed on my first try.
This isn't a field you can get into that easily.
And even if I get the job, I'll still have to try to make ends meet.
Would you tease me if I told you I wanted to become a mangaka?
Nope.
I'll do my best, then!
Manager, my best friend's taken a step forward in life.
What?
I was wondering how long I'll be working part-time jobs like this?
You're doing fine.
I was past thirty when I finally opened this store.
What I meant was, I don't want to end up like you.
You don't have to worry about your future,
I'll hand this shop over to you when the time comes.
Don't want it.
But, why?
I've already decided that you'll inherit the shop!
Don't decide without consulting me, you old fart.
Worrying about your future is somehow proof of being young.
She's the manager's choice.
