Pretty Proofreader

Jimi ni Sugoi (Simple is Great!) Proofreader Girl Kono Etsuko

Goes back to the first episode where she was stricken by his looks at first meeting

Kameido Tenjin = A notable temple located in Tokyo.

Kiritani Ayumu

130,000 yen = $1,167.23

Skytree = Located in Tokyo, the Skytree is used for broadcasting, restaurants and as an observation tower. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010

Maybe she fell asleep...

- You came back! - Huh?

Senpai!

Isn't this too much for two people?

Huh?

Here, here, here, here.

Everyone, please eat.

This looks delicious.

- What's this? - Huh?

It's tomato kimchi hot pot.

Tomatoes are good for your body.

So it's good for senpai's beauty and health...

Um... after I scouted him to be a model,

he was kicked out of the apartment he lived alone in and had nowhere to go.

That's why I allowed him to stay in my vacant room.

It's just until he gets model contract and can rent an apartment.

That's why it isn't strange or anything.

And didn't I tell you, I have a boyfriend!

- Renting a room? - Yeah.

- Share house? - Yeah.

- Cohabitation? - No, no, it's not like that.

Not cohabiting, we're just living together. Just living together! That's all.

Hot!

Oh, cold.

I'm sorry Ecchan.

At any rate, I'm sorry.

Thank you for the food!

It's delicious, Cecil! You should make this for your boyfriend!

- He'd enjoy it. Morio, you should eat too. - Huh? Okay.

Delicious!

Well, but I was surprised.

That's right.

I was really surprised.

- I didn't know that Morio was such a generous person. - Huh?

Well, when Yukito-kun was kicked out of his apartment, had no money,

and was left on the streets at a loss,

You couldn't abandon him, isn't that why you helped?

Oh, that's right.

Well then, Yukito-kun,

let's do all we can to get you selected as the exclusive model of "Lassy".

- Yeah. - Okay, let's do our best.

This time Keibonsha has

has decided to launch a new printed children's magazine.

"Monthly Children's Novels"?

With novelizations of anime and manga,

it's a magazine to teach children the pleasure of reading books.

What Fujiwa-san is in charge of

will be attached to the appendix after it's proofread.

Mountain fold, valley fold, insert line,

I have to make sure that the craft can be completed properly by following the directions.

From now on, galleys for "Monthly Children's Novels"

will begin coming in steadily.

Everyone, you'll need to ask yourself if it's appropriate for children to read.

Make your judgments and proofread them.

- Hey! What are you doing? - No! I want to do it!

I want to do it! I want to do it! I want to do this!

I'm better suited to proofread this!

See this Fujiwa-san?

The folding line can be seen.

You have no visual sense.

There's no need for proofreaders to have visual sense!

Is visual sense important to become a fashion editor?

However...

Senpai, the other day...

Hey, that bag is really cute? Where's it from?

- It's from Loewe. - Oh, it's from Loewe.

I didn't know it was already out. I'll have to check it out.

- Then, good luck today. - Oh... yeah.

- Bye... - Bye.

- See you later. - Later... yeah.

Senpai! Hey, Senpai!

It's absolutely, absolutely no good.

You shouldn't see that guy who strikes others again.

Huh? Why not?

A man and a woman living in the same house,

there's no way that there's nothing going on!

Cecil, are you being effected by your boyfriend from Amore Country?

Senpai too, there's no such thing as men and women being just friends.

A woman who distrusts too much is no good.

A man's love will run away.

Oh, I forgot something. Bye, see you later.

Koetsu-senpai needs to suspect things a little bit more...

No, I don't think she needs to.

Huh?

No... no, no, no! It's not possible! It's not possible!

It's absolutely not possible. It's not possible!

He doesn't have money so he's staying with her? Completely without feelings of love?

What's with that leap in logic?

Could it be...

because Yu... Yukito-kun is a writer?

Is it because I made the linear motor cow?

Is it because of "Zeeizee"?

No, I don't understand! I still don't understand it!

Octopus.

It's you.

Taisho, I'll take eggs.

Yes, double?

No, single.

What happened? Are you not feeling well Ecchan?

Taisho, a single egg for me as well.

You look down too, Mister.

- You also have a problem? - Of course.

Why are you following me?

It's because I wanted to drink.

What?

- Taisho, bathroom? - Oh, it's over there.

Thank you.

Welcome.

Yukito-kun!

Ecchan...

About what happened before... well...

Korenaga-kun!

Kaizuka-san, it's been awhile.

No, it hasn't been a long time. Why haven't you called me?

- No, about that... - Hey!

- Come here. - No... um...

It's fine, just come here.

Huh?

Sorry for ignoring your call,

I thought it would be awkward.

You know, I'm not one of your friends.

I'm your editor.

- I'm sorry. - Yeah.

You can't always act like you did when you were 15.

When I was 15...

I wish it would be like then.

Be reasonable already. Why not abandon this?

Korenaga Koreyuki.

- He was just a one hit wonder. - No, he has promise.

It would be a waste to abandon it.

Then you think this is interesting?

What in the world is this?

This is about a surreal world that is unique to Korenaga.

I didn't ask about that.

I asked you if you thought it was interesting.

If you can't immediately say it's interesting, how can we produce it?

Letting a writer write whatever they want,

are you still an editor?

I was just trying to protect a writer's talent.

What do you think? Did you come up with a new work?

Is something bothering you?

Do you think... I'm suitable to be a writer?

Huh?

Recently, I've been thinking that I wasn't suitable.

Hey, hey... give me a break.

Saying that now.

I wonder if Yukito-kun is coming back.

Ecchan, do you like Yukito?

Yeah... but a lot has happened.

What will happen now?

I wonder.

That kid is a writer after all, and a lot has happened.

Well... so much has happened already.

- I don't know at all. - I see.

He was mysterious from the beginning.

This... Something like this is tough.

What does he usually do? I don't know at all.

What is he bound for? Where is he going?

I don't know at all.

So he's the opposite of Ecchan?

Maybe that's why I don't understand him.

Well, I guess that's why you like him.

That may be it.

Yeah, yeah.

What the heck is this?!

- What is it? - Well...

Since this is for kids,

this will be published in "Monthly Children's Novels", right?

That's what I've heard.

"The widow took of her footwear

by the shoe box with familiar gestures,

showing her beautiful back, she headed to the bathroom."

Can children read and understand this?

I think it's very easy to understand and it's a beautiful sentence.

What? Huh? But...

A woman who lost her husband

stops at the entrance to take off her shoes and puts them away

before going to the bathroom, showing her beautiful back.

Do you know how many times I had to check the dictionary to decipher this?

In the first place, the act of reading a book has an important role

in learning difficult to understand words and expressions.

The use of easy words and plain expressions

will deprive them of opportunities to learn.

But won't they hate it if it's difficult to read?

It's a pity, but that means that person has no connection with the book.

But there's a bond there just by picking it, right?

To begin with, does this writer Saionji

understand that he's writing for books for children?

Kaizuka-san was supposed to tell him of that since he's in charge.

Octopus!

I have to make sure.

- Kono-san? - I'm off!

A proofreader's work begins and ends at their desk,

that's a cardinal rule.
