Copy !req
35. All right.
Copy !req
36. I'm handing out this week's newspaper.
Copy !req
37. Don't forget to show it to your parents.
Copy !req
38. The drawings are so good.
Copy !req
39. Fujino, this week's four-panel
manga strips were really funny!
Copy !req
40. Oh, these.
Copy !req
41. I was kind of busy this week,
so I drew it in five minutes.
Copy !req
42. But I guess they turned out
pretty good despite that.
Copy !req
43. You could be a manga artist
when you grow up.
Copy !req
44. A manga artist? Maybe.
Copy !req
45. But sitting at a desk
drawing all day sounds boring.
Copy !req
46. You're good at sports too,
so why not be an athlete?
Copy !req
47. Yeah, that sounds better.
Copy !req
48. Either way, give me your autograph.
Copy !req
49. Okay, fine.
Copy !req
50. I want one too!

Copy !req
56. Kyomoto? Who's that?
Copy !req
57. A truant student from the class next door.
Copy !req
58. She can't come to school,
but wants to try drawing manga.
Copy !req
59. I mean, I guess I don't mind.
Copy !req
60. But drawing decent art
would be difficult for an amateur.
Copy !req
61. I'm not sure a wimp who can't even
come to school can handle it.
Copy !req
62. I'm handing out the newspaper.
Copy !req

73. She's the truant kid, right?
Copy !req
74. But, you know,
Copy !req
75. compared to Kyomoto's drawings,
yours look pretty average.
Copy !req
76. Fujino, how come
you're so good at drawing?
Copy !req
77. You have the best drawing skills
out of all my students.
Copy !req
78. You could become an artist
with these skills.
Copy !req
79. Compared to Kyomoto's drawings,
yours look pretty average.
Copy !req
80. I see.
Copy !req
81. Kyomoto must be practicing drawing
while I go to school.
Copy !req
82. A fourth grader who's better
at drawing than me?
Copy !req
83. Absolutely unacceptable!

101. What?
Copy !req
102. Yeah.
Copy !req
103. I see.
Copy !req
104. You know what?
Copy !req
105. Yosshi and Mihorin haven't
been able to tell you this either,
Copy !req
106. but aren't you getting
too old to keep drawing?
Copy !req
107. You don't hang out with us anymore.
Copy !req
108. Even when you do,
you're always drawing and you don't talk.
Copy !req
109. Not to mention,
Copy !req
110. if you keep drawing in middle school,
Copy !req
111. people will think you're

Copy !req

Copy !req
113. Coming!
Copy !req

Copy !req
115. Stop bothering her. She's drawing, right?
Copy !req

to Kyomoto for me?
Copy !req
154. I'll give you her address.
Copy !req
155. What? Why me?
Copy !req
156. Well, even if you quit drawing
in sixth grade,
Copy !req
157. you guys still worked together
on the newspaper manga.
Copy !req
158. I'm sure Kyomoto would rather get it
from you than from an old man like me.
Copy !req
159. Well, I'd rather not, really.
Copy !req
160. Oh, come on.
Copy !req
161. Do your teacher one last favor.

184. Fujino-sensei!
Copy !req
185. Kyomoto?
Copy !req
186. Every week, I got... I got the newspaper.
Copy !req
187. I read your manga from the start,
since third grade.
Copy !req
188. I... I...
Copy !req
189. I'm a fan of yours, Fujino-sensei!
Copy !req
190. Can I have your autograph?
Copy !req
191. I don't have any paper!
Copy !req
192. My back!
Copy !req
193. Please sign the back of my jacket!
Copy !req
194. Sure.
Copy !req
195. My favorites are Love Square from the
second week of August in third grade,
Copy !req
196. the Sasaki series you did
from January to March in fourth grade,
Copy !req
197. and every single one
from fifth and sixth grades was brilliant.
Copy !req
198. I couldn't always finish
my strips in time,
Copy !req
199. but you did one every week
while attending school.
Copy !req
200. I couldn't believe
you were a grade schooler like me.
Copy !req
201. Your stories and drawings
kept getting better around fifth grade,
Copy !req
202. I was sure of it.
Copy !req
203. Fujino-sensei, you're a manga genius!
Copy !req
204. So, why...
Copy !req
205. Why did you stop drawing your strips
in the middle of sixth grade?
Copy !req
206. Well, actually...
Copy !req
207. I'm trying to come up with a story
for a manga competition.
Copy !req
208. So basically,
I quit so that I could reach the next level.
Copy !req
209. A manga competition?
Copy !req
210. Amazing!
Copy !req
211. I wanna see it! I totally wanna see it!
That's so amazing!
Copy !req
212. I wanna see! I wanna see!
Copy !req
213. Well, the idea's only in my head for now,
Copy !req
214. but it's pretty much finished.
Copy !req
215. Basically, all that's left
is to draw a draft and ink it.
Copy !req
216. I wanna see! I wanna see!
Copy !req
217. Then, I guess I could show you
when it's done.
Copy !req
218. It's starting to rain. I should go.
