Comic Party

Shoot! I'm Iate, I'm Iate!

Looks Iike I made it just in time.

What a weird girI.

Yo, Mizuki.

I aImost didn't make it on time.

What?

Mizuki? Not...quite?

WeII, you didn't wake up when I went to get you this morning, Hiroyuki.

Hiroyuki? Who's that?

You're just hopeIess, Hiroyuki.

Huh?

ReaIIy, that's so Iike you, Hiro.

No, wait, I'm Kazuki! Right, I'm Kazuki Sendou!

Are you okay, Hiroyuki?

You're just hopeIess, Hiroyuki.

N-no! My name is Kazuki Sendou!

And the person sitting there is Mizuki Takase,

whom I've known since middIe schooI!

Hey, who's this Mizuki person, Hiro?

Hiroyuki, your name isn't Kazuki, you know?

You're just hopeIess, Hiroyuki.

No...

No!

That's not right!

Oh, Hiroyuki, I finished cIeaning.

No!

Hiro!

Hiroyuki?

You're just hopeIess, Hiroyuki.

Hiroyuki.

I'm... I'm... I'm...

Kazuki Sendou!

Where am I? Who am I?

Don't start that dumb act so earIy in the morning!

FATEFUL FIRST EXPERIENCE?!

I'm so sorry. You're aIways coming to wake up Kazuki.

I've been doing it for so Iong, I'm used to it.

I feeI Iike I had some kind of weird dream, but...

What was it about?

Oh, weII.

We're gonna be Iate if we don't hurry up!

Hey, who's the one that oversIept?!

''Yoyomori Station''

You Iook a IittIe out of shape.

Maybe I've been studying too much for entrance exams.

No way!

Of course not.

Our schooI automaticaIIy gets us into coIIege, after aII.

Sheesh.

This voice...

ExactIy, our high schooI most definiteIy gets us into coIIege.

We may be starting our senior year tomorrow,

but we have no worries about the future whatsoever!

But are you fine with that?!

Can you be satisfied with just Ietting those peacefuI days go by?!

My brother! And my sister!

Hey, Mom, that person's weird.

Shh, don't Iook at him.

Young peopIe these days are just so...

Wanna go home, Mizuki?

Y-yeah, Iet's.

My brother! And my sister!

The appointed pIace...

...and the appointed time is preciseIy here and now.

Where are you going?

Where are you going?!

Did they have a fight?

Did they have a fight? Are those two even reIated?

Are those two even reIated?

There's a girI, too.

So, where are you dragging us off to so earIy in the morning?

Do not Iet the detaiIs bother you.

OnIy think of our destiny.

Looks Iike Taishi's quirky side is acting up again.

If it weren't for that...

But why Odaiba?

Have they buiIt something interesting over there?

I don't know.

Wh-what the heck is this?!

It Iooks Iike it goes on for miIes.

How many thousands of peopIe are there?

It's too soon to be surprised.

This is onIy the tip of the iceberg.

It is mereIy the entrance to Hades, where Cerberus awaits.

But what...

...is this Iine for?

Now, Iet us go, comrades!

Kazuki! And Mizuki!

The festivaI of anime, comics, and games!

The center of swirIing ambition, Iove, and hatred!

Yes, to the doujinshi exhibition and spot saIe!

Doujinshi?!

Exhibition and spot saIe?!

Mizuki, where are you?!

I'm gonna get crushed by meat buns!

Over here! Over here!

Wait a minute, Taishi! How come you can waIk so normaIIy?!

Hey, I heard there's a KSS industry booth!

Hey, I heard there's a KSS industry booth! Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Hurry, hurry, hurry! I think it's Iimited to 3000 units!

I think it's Iimited to 3000 units!

Hey, Mizuki?

Comrade Mizuki, you'II get stepped on if you Iie on the fIoor.

I've had enough!

It's hot and it's smeIIy and it's noisy!

You're admitting defeat aIready, my comrade?

I hate it, I hate it! You're admitting defeat aIready, my comrade?

Not ''aIready''! We waited in Iine for three hours to get in!

I'm going home, I'm going home, I'm going home,

I'm going home, I'm going home!

The author's seIIing it herseIf!

Hey, Mizuki!

It's no use!

If you get separated in this veritabIe maze of a convention haII,

the probabiIity of finding each other is Iess than 0.00008%.

But stiII...

No matter, we can just Iook around by ourseIves.

Yes, as our first step for the sake of our ambition.

Ambition?

Now, come on!

Taishi! Hey!

But...

...no matter where I go...

''I am out'' Sorry, please come again ...no matter where I go...

''I am out'' Sorry, please come again

''To Heart'' End of line

...it's peopIe, peopIe, and more peopIe.

Hey, Taishi?!

Good grief, why are there so many peopIe?

And aII the books Iook about the same, no matter where I Iook.

I just don't get it.

I think I'II go home aIready.

Please wait a moment

Noooo!

No!

Someone pIease stop me!

What?

Noooo!

Ow!

Are you okay?

You have just saved my Iife!

Huh?

You stopped my runaway cart.

Thank you, thank you. It was just a coincidence...

Oh, no!

What?

What? I have to deIiver the books to my customers.

I have to deIiver the books to my customers.

WeII, goodbye, my Iifesaver.

I wonder if I can get out this way?

Excuse me, that's an emergency exit!

What? Me?

That door is to be kept cIosed, so pIease use the designated exits.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Okay, pIease don't run inside the convention haII!

Oh, you in the costume, Iong weapons aren't aIIowed.

PIease do that in the cospIay haII!

Which means, I have to go through aII that again.

Is the exit that way?

What the heck are ya sayin'?!

Hurry up, I want it aIready.

You don't have that many copies,

so it's more efficient if you distribute it now.

''Karamitei''

''Karamitei'' So, Iike I said, when I'm distributin' is written right here!

Sure, I couId jump the gun, but that wouId affect peopIe's trust in me!

Trying to act so cooI, when you have peopIe Iining up for once.

What'd you say?!

Here I'm tryin' to be nice, and you try to waIk aII over me!

I'm canceIin'! I'm canceIin' distributin' my new issue!

You're being unreasonabIe!

I, Yuu Inagawa, may forget the way of humanity,

but I have never once forgotten the honor among doujin!

Is that to say we Iack a doujin's honor?!

We can't Iet you get away with saying that.
