Commenter

no famiresu on the island lol and the teacher is just having way too much fun fr. wait, only 1,000 copies…? aka + shin = akafuku sou, going to tokyo!! hikari just taking pics the whole time, nyanta and hikari doing a fist bump gave me major yokai watch vibes lmao… manga is done! morning! maihama is insane!!

Commenter

so she draws this and decides to join comic market in tokyo, but the final boss was shin-chan's mom. seemed like a strict parent ngl, but they actually talked it out and understood each other. maybe they just both suck at communicating tbh. working silently in some empty hotel corner on a trip is total life goals tho, ngl i've done that too

Commenter

"Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" style passion right here lmao. Ep 5 was packed with deciding to join COMITIA, midterms, and the night before the event. Also dropped the lore bomb that Hikari got held back a year?? Akafuku and Sekiryu are such solid side characters, really loving how grounded this story is.

saki looking so blissfully ready to enjoy the buffet breakfast… only for sensei to drop the absolute plot twist… wait, this isn't tokyo, it's a maihama hotel www "couldn't get a good hotel near the COMITIA venue… this is maihama, so it's Chiba (facts)" gotta hurry up wwww

Commenter

"could never like the same girly stuff like idols or fashion with friends ive had since forever" "cant talk worth a damn right in front of them" (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) felt this on a spiritual level…

Commenter

drawing a manga packed with all those feelings every week or month… mangakas are built different fr. huge thanks for always making it such a fun time!!

Commenter

wait it's just chiba?! i mean disneyland and narita airport and everything else in chiba claims to be tokyo anyway… bruh

Commenter

fr tho, this anime just hits different. every single character has so much presence and charm 🎯🎯🎯 you can totally feel their obsession with what they love and it gets you so hyped

Commenter

love how sensei's past manga artist experiences are basically what yasumi is going through now. staying up all night at a famiresu drawing manga is such a mood tbh~

Commenter

that post-grind sunrise feeling hits different. the sense of accomplishment makes the sunrise look 100x more gorgeous fr

Commenter

ngl people who write a whole copy-doujinshi the night before because inspiration hit them and sell it day-of do actually exist irl…

Commenter

Izu Oshima is technically Tokyo but Maihama is Chiba, so they literally left the prefecture just to gush about how wild Tokyo is lol

Commenter

feels like the author's voice is slipping through when they talk about how who drew it matters way more than just raw skill in manga

Commenter

sekiryu is awkward af around people, which is probably why she can actually empathize with both sides of the argument

Commenter

wait, hikari's mom is hebichika-sensei?? does sensei even know about this yet lol

Commenter

yasumi watching the sunrise from the hotel room looked so insanely gorgeous tho……

Commenter

oh… so it was chiba. coming from the countryside, chiba and tokyo are basically the exact same mega-city to us ( ˇωˇ )

Commenter

seeing akafuku being all hyped makes yasumi's straight-maman energy stand out even more

Commenter

hikari actually imagining how much she probably hurt the person she fought with shows crazy good empathy

Commenter

losing sleep, yasumi starts writing with pokota by her side. next thing you know, it's morning 🌅

Commenter

fujimori actually nailing everyone's distinct features proves her art skills are lowkey cracked

Commenter

1,000 copies!? hold up! drop that down to… 20. and make it 100 yen.

Commenter

akafuku sou it is. has way too many akafuku vibes lol. bound with a standard office stapler too

Commenter

thought yasumi was gonna be chaotic as usual, but damn, did not expect her to pull that card

Commenter

it's legit total management dystopia and rule-by-force, classic toxic parent playbook right there

Commenter

this is peak "fangirls discovering manga can be a weapon of mass emotional damage" and honestly? respect

Commenter

this whole "putting your raw feelings into a manga and slamming it into the reader's face" thing… thats peak mangaka behavior right there

Commenter

bro actually got held back a/year lmaooooo

Commenter

thought hikari was the big brain intellectual of the group, turns out she's the one who flunked a grade wtfw

Commenter

of course the protagonist's "very first manga" is lowkey god-tier good lol

Commenter

thought "no way a student could pull that off!" but then i remembered saekano did it…

Commenter

i mean, i definitely know people who got so hooked on their hobbies they flunked out…

Commenter

20 copies sounds about right, but using the teachers' lounge copy machine for it might be a bit spicy lol

Commenter

the hotel hot springs hit the spot too. pretty sure those fireworks were from urayasu

Commenter

chiba is insane～～～～～～!!!!!

Commenter

weekend hotels in maihama gotta be insanely expensive tho…

Commenter

when a wall-space artist says 1,000 copies, that's just pure unadulterated weight right there

Commenter

hikari just snapping pics the whole time, gotta gather material for the new volume ig

Commenter

teshima-sensei's absolute favorite mangaka is actually hikari's mom…

Commenter

love how she's finally using manga to get across all the stuff she could never say out loud before

Commenter

geniuses aren't supposed to get held back, but i guess sekiryu is a different breed 😅

Commenter

sensei's little "ta-da!" is way too cute every damn time lmao

Commenter

back when famiresu were actually open 24/7!!!!!

Commenter

like, there's literally no way an estranged mom's heart doesn't melt after reading that 😭

Commenter

staying at a pretty decent place ngl, gonna make some core memories ✨

Commenter

how the hell are you out here eating a whole feast first thing in the morning wtfwwwwwww

Commenter

literally just finished reading the manga chapter so pokota already has me in tears fr

Commenter

every single episode is just so fun and hits right in the feels, this is peak fiction man

Commenter

one parent looks like an absolute nightmare while the other is just entirely checked out lol
