 Less doujinshi & more work for poor Kazuki as he finds out that creating comics isn't just about drawing...
4 - We Really Have No Money!
Brother 2 are in the red after their first convention appearance -
seems only selling seven copies of your doujinshi isn't too good for
the bank balance. The only solution is for Kazuki to take a part-time
job (although I reckon Taishi should be doing it) - at a cosplay cafe,
which Kazuki isn't too keen on. Taishi assures him it's the best place
for a doujinshi artist, and needs must, so Kazuki reluctantly agrees.
Mizuki's less than impressed, too, once she finds out where he's
working...
5 - That's the Problem
Working on his doujinshi's starting to take a toll on Kazuki's school
work - he's gone from an A to a D in the latest mock exams, and it
seems there just aren't enough hours in the day for him to cope with
drawing, work and
school. Mizuki offers to help him with his classwork, at least, while
Taishi arranges some more unusual help - a meeting with a famous
doujinshi artist. Mizuki tags along, not trusting any advice that comes
from Taishi, and wanting to learn a bit about the convention scene
herself - but will the meeting be any use to Kazuki in sorting out his
scheduling problems?
6 - Onward to Comic Party
With finals out of the way, it's time for Kazuki to really concentrate
on putting his comic together - with only 18 days until his deadline.
No visit to the beach for him, despite Mizuki's invitations - but he
does give in to spending the day with her, which turns out to be a good
break from drawing for him. He can't truly escape from doujinshi,
though, and a run-in with Eimi leads to a flash of inspiration for
him...
Mini-Special 2 - The Menace! Dooby-Duba in the Underground World!
Yayy! Swimsuit episode! Trapped underground after the floor of the
onsen gave way, the gang are trying to find their back back to the
surface. What they find, though, seems to indicate they're stuck in the
same place that thing that go missing from the Bermuda Triangle end up
in. To make matters worse, a lava flow threatens to engulf the gang -
can they escape before meeting a fiery end?
Pretty much more of the same with this second volume - Taishi
continues to be as annoying as hell, Mizuki continues to be frustrated
by Kazuki getting more and more distracted by a hobby she really
doesn't understand, and Kazuki continue to find his feet in the
doujinshi world - although it appears he's missing the point in one or
two areas. If there's anything that could be criticised, it's that Yuu
& Eimi barely feature here, and their antics for me are one of the
show's high points.
Still manages to be fun to watch, though, even though the show's not
really as funny as it thinks it is. Worth getting, especially if you
can try before you buy. |
