7 Days Till the Summer Comiket!
It's summer break and the SNS Club is hard at work. 7 Days Till the Summer Comiket!
Sometimes we gather at a member's house and sometimes we're at the club office.
Sometimes our opinions clash...
and Ha-chan still hasn't figured out that Seki is Iris Sensei.
Fujikawa sometimes goes off into her own world.
Many things are happening,
but thanks to the president, we somehow stay on schedule.
And our game, Stardust Intenzione, is finished!
Back to the Starting Line
Dad... I love you.
Hey! This is no time to be sleeping!
It's Summer Comiket's day!
Oh, Ha-chan...
We're supposed to help Temawari's group this afternoon.
Hurry up!
Oh, leaving already? You just came.
Yes, thank you!
I'm off!
Be careful now.
Rushing off like that... I wonder if it's her club again.
The main thing is that she looks happy.
You're right.
I'll send this photo of her to her dad.
Feels great!
I've always wanted to get to the hall by boat.
What is that for?
I'm not good around crowds, so I came prepared.
- Who's that? - It's Ha-chan.
She picked up Honda and they're on their way.
Okay, we'll all be there this time.
How come you look so awful, Fujikawa?
A friend is having a CD made.
I was helping her until now with mixing and mastering.
You were working on something else besides ours?
The others are already heading for the hall.
You were the only one we couldn't reach, so I came for you.
I'm sorry. I forgot to turn on the alarm.
You don't know what we went through to get Grandmother to let us use the car.
Thank you for going through all that trouble.
It's okay. I wanted to see an exhibition sale.
I'm curious about why Minaha is so into this.
Oh, you're coming with us?
I'll speed it up on the freeway. It'll be faster than by train.
We're getting off here?
Yes. There's no parking in front of the hall.
Thank you! Here we go!
Good luck.
All these people are here for the Comiket?!
There are hoards more inside.
Oh yeah... Murakami said to stay together.
So I'm okay with holding hands...
Huh? Why do I have to see your face at the Comiket of all places?
Right back at you! What're you doing here?
Oh right... These two don't get along.
We're doing sales today, right?
Yes. It'll be a good experience to sell at other booths too.
Get inspired as an artist too.
I learned a lot at the last exhibition sale.
But really, there's such a crowd!
They all look like fearless soldiers of comics and manga.
I could get lost in here.
You'll probably have a chance to look at other booths, Tama...
but remember that you're here as a participant, not a customer.
Not everyone is a pro here.
The important thing is for everyone to enjoy the Comiket.
By the way...
I've noticed all you talk about in the Illustration Club is boy's love.
The hero in this manga and his friend...
I just know it's more than just "friendship"!
There are people with different interests...
and I'm just respecting that!
So this is a self-published exhibition sale.
I've never seen so many people.
They publish their own manga and novels,
and they come to this event to buy and sell them.
Is it really something to get so consumed about like Minaha?
Yes, it is!
I'll show you around, if you like.
Who are you?
Where is everyone?
Don't get separated, Tamaki Honda.
Both of you, let's go this way.
But that's the BL section! The serious kind!
We still have time, so let's go.
See the reaction on that innocent?! Don't you have a conscience?
I'd be happy if Tama awakens to BL.
You creep!
Everyone's art is great. I guess I should study them.
Although it's a bit shocking.
Tama!
Coming.
May I take a look?
Oh sure!
Thank you.
A-Are you in high school?
This new one may be... a bit unwholesome.
Curious, Tama?
The man on the cover looks cool.
Then you should tell them that.
I see. May I buy this?
Sure!
That will be 2500 yen.
I'm always rooting for you. I brought you this.
Why, thank you!
She seemed so happy.
Did I look like that the last time too?
Honda!
It's Fujikawa's voice.
- Come here! - Look at that line!
Here she comes! Honda!
We're short-handed! Hurry and help!
Here's a rabbit ear! Now get to work!
You brought it just for me?
Oh, where's Murakami?
Right here.
Take it off!
I'll leave it on until I get used to this.
It's our game.
There's time to get emotional later.
These are the new ones. These are the bonus gift CDs.
As for these... We're helping some other clubs sell.
Okay!
Okay, let's get to work!
Okay!
I'd like three, please.
Oh, thank you! That'll be 2100 yen.
Here's a bonus gift.
I'll take the new game and your previous release.
One new and one old, right?
Which one...?
- Just a sec! - Man!
We're so busy!
This is easier than selling.
But...we're supposed to switch too.
You'll have to sell later too.
West-A 18 Temawari Suisan End of the line
The new release, and this, and this.
I'd like two of every CD.
'Scuse me!
Yes!
Is Miss Temawari here today?
I'm a big fan and brought her this.
Thank you!
Some places really sell a lot.
It's easing up a little.
Tama, do you have time?
Sure! We're on break.
Huh? Marika?!
I wanted to see what Summer Comiket is like.
Plus I wanted to see you, Honda.
I'm so impressed.
Honda, I bought this.
Oh, thank you!
And I bought lots of cute dolls!
I'm getting hooked on the Summer Comiket!
Oh, so many.
Did you buy disks from them too?
Yup, and I got autographs too.
I'm glad.
How many of our games did we sell?
Quite a bit.
It could be a new record.
Our own creation with a line that long. Wouldn't it be great?
Our own...
Ow!
What're you daydreaming about?!
We're both artists! Come on, snap out of it.
I'm sorry. I was thinking.
- Say... - Yes?
You're from the June Exhibition Sale...
Oh, you remember!
I saw on your home page that you have things on consignment.
So I came!
Did you buy our new game?
Oh no, not yet.
You can play it here. Please try it out.
Stardust Intenzione - Remote >From the startandlt;
The artwork is great on this too.
Thank you!
Did you draw it by yourself?
No, Ha-chan and I both did.
Ha-chan chose what to draw and where to put them.
What kind of game and music. She decided everything.
Amazing! You're the leader, huh?
N-No, I'm not...a leader.
But you're the one who wanted to do Iris Sensei's story.
And where to put the drawings.
Yup, you are. You were gung-ho.
That's right.
You were the leader for this, Ha-chan.
Right?
I can't wait to play it.
Yes, thank you!
Everyone seems to be having fun.
We could've watched from closer up.
No, I can't be like them.
Um... Your name is Teru Hyakutake, right?
I was curious to have someone famous like you seek me out.
I was more curious about all your spying equipment.
It's nothing.
You're being thoughtful towards Tama and the others.
Everyone used to talk about you joining clubs just to tease them.
I think it's important to be more grounded in life.
Oh, but you only live once, right?
So you have to live explosively and do things while you're young!
That's true.
I guess I'll be more magnanimous.
After all, she looks so happy.
And so, our Summer Comiket came to an end.
But somehow...
I had this fuzzy feeling that even I couldn't understand.
I realized what it was...
One day, a while after the Summer Comiket...
We had all come to the beach for a wrap-up party.
Come on out, Murakami!
No, no way!
You look great!
It was worth going to all the shops to find something.
The girls chose it for you. You won't run away, right?
I...I'm not like you. I'm not bold or good with people!
I'm aware of myself and put on airs.
But just showing yourself off isn't bad at all.
President, just make believe and have a conversation like Fujikawa.
O-Okay, I'll try something.
Tama, you're so encouraging.
When'd you get here, Fuda?
There!
The sun feels great, doesn't it, Murakami?
I did it! I returned the ball.
President!
Are you okay?!
My communication skills are used up.
- I can't talk anymore. - No!
Wrap-up?
Yes, come too, Ha-chan.
You created the game with us. You're a friend.
Huh? I don't remember becoming friends with you!
We are rivals.
Besides, I'm not officially in the SNS Club.
So don't get too chummy.
So you're not coming?
Well...
Okay, it's too bad. But if you feel that way...
Hey, wait!
I didn't say I'm not coming!
Miss Minaha, swimsuits are worn for swimming.
This is my underwear!
Come on. Yeah, that's the way!
Huh? Over here?
- This way? - No, little more.
I forgot to say this...
We went shopping together, so why are you in your school swimsuit?
I didn't have enough money.
Hey, Yumine Fuda isn't an SNS member!
Miss... If you want to join them, just go.
Frankly, you're acting like a stalker.
Don't tell me that!
I want to rest. I feel hot.
Maybe it's a mild sunstroke.
Let's go over that way.
There's shade and it's cooler.
I'll get some drinks.
- Hey! - What?
I just thought of a new game.
What is it?
Teach us, Sis!
It's a combination of hop and skip! You run away by hopping.
- Sounds like fun! - I wanna play!
Okay, draw a circle in the sand.
Hop, hop, skip!
This feeling...
Honda, over here!
Thanks for going, Tama.
Are you okay, President?
I rested, so I'm okay.
Sorry for all the fuss.
We were getting worried since you were late.
I'm sorry.
Are you okay, Honda?
I...
I'm not okay!
I forgot something very important!
The reason I joined this club...
It wasn't just to draw. I wanted to make a game that made people smile.
Sure. You can join the Illustration Club if you just want to draw.
Honda, what do you want to do from now on?
I...
I want to create a game with my own ideas!
Just like Ha-chan!
N-Naturally, I can't do it alone.
So if you can all help me...
Sure!
I'd love to see what you come up with.
Since you joined the SNS Club,
we were able to self-publish two games.
This time, it's our turn to support you.
President...
A game with lots of cool older men!
-I knew it. - I knew it.
By the way, the Winter Comiket applications are due tomorrow. Are we good?
I forgot!
Winter Comiket? That's right!
Yes, at the end of the year.
There's the culture festival in autumn too.
But the next big event is the Winter Comiket.
Although we're not sure if we'll get chosen.
Okay, from the second term...
No, from tomorrow...
No, today! Let's start planning our new game!
You're so eager.
Good idea! Let's have a production meeting.
There's lots to do. Game and production ideas, scheduling...
You'll get busy, Honda.
Yes!
I'm going to do my best!
Next work: Meeting Part 1
