This is for the press.

- If it's all right, sign it in your own handwriting. - Got it.

- There really is nothing? - What?

The divorce alone will damage your image,

and the commercial contract... - I said there's nothing there.

It's an amicable divorce.

Put yourself in my position.

Good morning...

- Morning. - What?

- Don't stand in the doorway. Out of the way. - No, because that...

Huh?

- Huh? - Why is she in that seat?

You're 47 seconds late.

I told you last night to come in on time today.

Hey, Nezu. What's the mean--

- What's with that face? - He's like attained enlightenment.

Which means this is...

Starting today, I will be the editor-in-chief of "Camphor NEWS".

Pleased to meet you.

That's what happened.

Divorce announced by fax

Okay, next.

No way, they're getting divorced.

Yesterday, actor Keiichi Maebashi

announced his divorce from his former actress wife, Misato Kiyose.

Mr. Maebashi and Ms. Kiyose started dating after they appeared together in a movie.

In 2017, Ms. Kiyose abruptly retired

after she announced she had a shotgun marriage.

Divorce announced by fax

Didn't he suddenly drop out of the movie he was starring in?

- Yes. - Hey.

And now they're getting an amicable divorce.

What do you think, Tamura?

He's free to do as he pleases, but to that point, the world...

So? What's this? New editor-in-chief.

Amicable divorce. They're separating but still on good terms.

I don't get it.

There are many kinds of married couples. Not that you'd understand.

As expected, Mr. Kaba, you had some experience. You actually feel it.

Many kinds...

I am getting the chills.

- Getting the chills? - You know,

amicable divorces won't earn page views at all.

At the very least...

you need an affair or two.

Today is the first day of the play starring Maebashi.

- I can do the interview. - Oh, yeah.

- I'm telling you, you can't get that interview. - Why?

Maebashi's office has banned us.

I mean, almost every talent agency.

No interviews, no stage appearances for new works, nothing.

Even if you want to cover it, they won't let you due to various reasons.

First of all, you're the editor-in-chief, so why would you cover it?

When Chief Editor Yamada was in charge, he basically just checked.

I'll go and write the article.

You all can't get 50 million views on your own.

I need someone with me as a photographer.

We're not a major weekly magazine,

and I don't think a person like you will change anything.

I'm gonna pass.

Me too. I have something to do at that time.

No, why don't you bring her?

- What? - She's not part of the team.

I need someone with experience in presscon coverage.

Not part of the team...

Well, I have to check the articles from the writers, so I can't.

Fine. What a pain in the ass.

I'm Ririko Seko.

"Camphor NEWS", I'm terribly sorry.

Please note that we do not allow interviews with your company.

I personally have no affiliation with the past "Camphor NEWS."

- Even if you say so... - I told you so.

Come on, let's head back.

Move out of the way, you third-rate site.

I'm Hayashi from "Weekly Tozai".

Third-rate site...

Please tell me the specific criteria for first, second, and third-rate.

Huh? Who the hell are you?

Don't add unnecessary conflicts.

What's wrong?

This one wants to cover...

I'm Ririko Seko from "Camphor NEWS".

I'm Maki, Maebashi's manager.

I'm sorry, but "Camphor" is...

Nezu?

- So it is you, Ms. Maki. - Who's she?

She's my senior at our university's masscomm research group.

Nezu, you're in "Camphor NEWS" now?

Well, yeah...

"I'm gonna be a reporter who exposes the underside of society..."

You've been spouting that every time we had a drink.

What's wrong with that?

But I didn't expect you to be a reporter for a gossip site.

Do you enjoy doing it?

No, well...

Please let me participate in the coverage.

Even if you say so,

we don't like it when people write things that aren't true.

I don't do that, I only write the truth.

All right. Just this once, for Nezu's sake.

- Are you serious? - But...

don't ask weird questions.

The divorce was reportedly amicable,

but what exactly was the cause of it?

Yeah, well, to put it simply, I guess we grew apart.

Well, I don't spend much time at home because of my work.

So, did either of you have other partners?

No, no, no... Of course not.

Even though I look like this, I'm not popular at all.

Is Ms. Kiyose likely to return to acting?

Well, that's not for me to say.

Well, she's a civilian now and has a small child,

so please leave her out of this.

I beg you.

Well, I suppose we better get going.

Another time, I'm sorry.

Thank you very much.

Ririko Seko, "Camphor NEWS".

Go ahead. Last one.

How long did you two have sexual relations?

- Huh? - Hey, why did you ask him that?

She wants to know if it's sexless.

"A married couple is an intimate relationship of personal, emotional,

and sexual union and cooperation in social life," according to the dictionary.

It's hard to objectively judge if you two had any personal or emotional ties.

However, I was wondering if you could clarify the sexual part.

Well, that kind of matter

is a private one, so it's hard to...

- Then... - Okay, let's go.

Let's go!

It was really an amicable divorce, wasn't it?

No, no... Of course it's an amicable divorce.

The truth is, you've been seeing other women...

I'm sorry, but it's time to go!

Excuse me.

Excuse me, don't block the way at this point.

I told you not to ask weird questions, didn't I?

It doesn't seem weird to me.

Nezu, "Camphor NEWS" is banned for good!

Of course...

- How was it? Presscon. - It sucks because of her.

What about the other articles?

You're crude when it comes to people.

I guess they all think the same.

Commotion in the hall! A female reporter from "Camphor NEWS" asks Keiichi Maebashi a nasty question

How long did you two have sexual relations?

Huh?

You might also come under fire.

I don't care.

WHAT THE...!

You're being way too loud, Ichimoto.

Because, look at this.

Was the amicable divorce a lie? Keiichi Maebashi's treacherous night with a gravure model

So the real cause of the divorce was Maebashi's affair, right?

As expected from "Weekly Tozai",

he had the story right from the start.

Maebashi and us, we're all being duped.

I'm sorry to say, Ms. New Chief Editor,

but the world will read this article.

It's useless for a third-rate site like ours to try so hard.

I rather feel sorry for you,

being forced to be the editor-in-chief of such a helpless site.

I don't know who told you that, but 50 million page views is absolutely impossible.

I'm going home.

Huh?

She really is a mystery, huh?

I don't know why they made her editor-in-chief.

I feel like there's definitely something behind it.

That's a good look you got there, Seko.

Mr. Maebashi's infidelity was the cause of the divorce, right?

I don't have an answer for that question
