Now That We Draw (TPB) nr. 2: Behind Every Great Mangaka.
Aspiring manga artists Uehara Yuuki and Miyamoto Niina have been working hard to spice up the romance in their stories by pretending to be in a relationship of their own. So far they’ve played out a number of rom-com tropes, and Uehara even managed to get an editor’s business card! After spending the night at a love hotel, Uehara and Miyamoto decide to take the next step…in their art. Drawing practice commences at the beach, where the two grow even closer and Uehara finally begins to understand the meaning of love. Can he channel the feeling into his manga? Wait, no—can he actually face it head-on in the real world? Series Overview: Dweeby high schooler Uehara Yuuki has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she’s bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Miyamoto Niina—an aspiring manga artist herself! Having gotten the similar feedback on her own manga, Miyamoto proposes she and Uehara engage in a fake relationship, since neither of them has any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from the perfect heroine Uehara’s concocted, and he certainly isn’t the cocky hero from her story either. Can their wacky relationship turn their manga dreams into reality, or will it lead to even more comic disasters?
