I'm not interested in romance.
I'm happiest when I'm at home reading manga.
That's enough!
You're reading "SEIKA"?
Kanigama Joe is me.
How about working part-time? Here's a duplicate key.
If you work for me, I'll let you read "SEIKA no Sora".
Kanigama-sensei is a genius.
I'm hiring you, so don't wear something shabby.
Always be beautiful.
I... I didn't mean to...
<"I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.">
Overrun at Naha Airport. It's Kanigama-sensei's plane!
I would like to read out the names of those confirmed dead. Tomoe Yuizuki...
Momochi ...
It's me, Tomoe.
Kanigama Joe.
What should I do?
I found myself looking like this.
I'm not dead.
Hey, what should I do?
What are you doing?
<"What's with the power? This old man. Scary, scary, scary...">
<"What? What? What? What? What?">
Where have you been?
Where is Tomoe Yuizuki's room?
I'll re-inject IV, please go back to bed.
Where's my phone?
You were brought in just like this.
Without belongings.
Oh, that was in your pocket, and I could see it in the photo.
It really helped me a lot.
Momochi, your brain seems to be fine after examination.
The injuries seem not serious,
we'll keep you for one more night. If you're okay, we can discharge you.
Um... I'd like to know the condition of Tomoe Yuizuki, who was on the same plane.
I have to keep confidentiality...
She's alive, isn't she?
An old man I don't know came by earlier and said Tomoe Yuizuki wasn't dead.
Momochi
<"Is it the one who died in the plane crash?">
Let's go home...
I want this.
I think I'll buy one. Wow, 4,000,000...?
What are you fidgeting about?
No.
Momochi ...
Don't leave me.
Believe me.
I'm Tomoe Yuizuki. Kanigama Joe!
I may look like this, but... But it's true!
But... now... Now... Kanigama-sensei...
How many times I have to tell you?
I'm already in trouble for looking like this!
In the next issue of "SEIKA no Sora",
Cabejiro's chest is pierced by Nasutte.
You've read it.
That scene is only known to me, assistant, supervisor and you!
No ... No no no!
So... believe me.
Believe me!
Please!
Don't leave me.
You have to take me back to Tokyo with you...
In a place like this... Please calm down!
Don't worry! You'll remember soon enough.
This person was a little crazy from the accident.
Let's go!
How long are you going to follow me?
Momochi's house for the first time.
I'm thrilled.
If you're really Kanigama-sensei, shouldn't you go home?
I don't have the key.
In the ocean with the bag.
You also don't have the key to your house?
Eh !?
I'll stay with you today.
No no no no ...! No no no no!
Stop it!
Thank you.
Itadakimasu!
Bad tea.
Who are you?
I'm Tomoe Yuizuki! How many times I have to tell you...
The doctor said I had amnesia, but I have memories.
I even have memories from childhood.
<"Can I give him the key to Kanigama-sensei's house?">
Are you listening? What are you looking at?
Ah, my house key.
What? Ah, no...!
Then, if I go with Momochi ...
I can go home.
<"What should I do?">
We were in the same hotel room in Okinawa.
Weren't you ready to stay together?
We might have even kissed.
We might have done more!
You believed it?
You believed that, didn't you?
No, no... that's still...
You said it many times, but I saw it.
A body with the same watch as Kanigama-sensei's was put in a car...
After that ... Oh, no ...!
It's not you who doesn't know what to do, it's me...
What should I do? I don't know...
<"Ah ... Please don't look at me like that.">
I remember, despite this body.
At the cash register of Yumehana Supermarket,
I helped when you were getting tangled up with a weird customer.
I gave Moyao's goods.
I signed the 6th volume of SEIKA for you.
You are good at stir-fry, but not so good at gratin.
I bought you a lot of fashionable clothes and shoes.
I said "lame" when you had shoe blisters wearing good shoes.
And that, you had earned about a million-yen working part-time past month.
And yet... you refused my kiss.
Um, I... didn't mean to...
But you came with me to Okinawa.
If you had said you didn't want to go,
we wouldn't have had to take that plane!
Why did you say you're going to Okinawa?
Everything is your fault!
Momochi's an idiot! Idiot, idiot...!
<"Is it because I'm an idiot?">
What should I do now...?
<"Who is this snotty old man?">
<"If this man is Kanigama-sensei...">
<"No, no, no, no, no, no, no!">
<"But if that's the case,
maybe I should've kissed her before she turned into this...">
Mr. Tamura.
Yeah?
Please take a look at the last manuscript.
(Cabejiro) "Purple cabbage zeroshiki!" (Nasutte) "Ama-kakeru-nasuno-inanaki!"
(Nasutte) "Uh !!" (Cabejiro's cough)
(Lycopene) "Cabejiro !!"
This is the end?
What Kanigama-sensei was planning to do next?
I haven't heard.
But if we end it here, it'll be riot.
What we're going to do now that we've lost our highlight?
It's not good.
Chief.
Can we make Kanigama-sensei's death public?
It would be a disservice to Kanigama Joe's reputation to end the series without original plan.
Let's serialize 3 more drafts as is and announce just before the last one comes out.
We'll have a big farewell party for the whole company.
Then, why not announce it now?
It will be a hot topic ...
3 more times? "Maximum" will be sold out.
I'd like to wait until we hear how the family feels about the timing of announcement.
I knew home was the best!
It's so relaxing...
<"I've unlocked this house,
but if this person is a thief...">
<"I may have made a grave mistake.">
<"I've been taken care by Kanigama-sensei,
but I'm returning the favor this way...">
<"Should I kick him out after all?">
<"He must be a thief.">
What are you doing?
Are you okay !?
I'm going home.
Are you leaving me?
You were taken care by Kanigama-sensei, weren't you?
Are you not going to return the favor?
That's how you live, putting off difficult things until later.
That's the worst thing about you!
Face it!
You are staying here tonight!
Eh ... huh? No….
Stay!!
Like this?
Yes.
Wait a minute.
Oh no! Not cute!
I packed my things...
I've had a lot of fun this year.
Great!
Thank you.
Cheese toast is delicious when you made it.
Takamizawa.
My old person-in-charge.
Momochi, you answer it.
I'll hide in the bedroom.
What should I do….
eh? Wait...
You are a part-timer I hired,
so just answer that you have a key and here to clean.
No, clean at this hour?
Hurry!
No, wait a minute ...
Yes.
I'm Takamizawa from 'Weekly Shonen Maximum'.
Are you Tomoe's mother?
I'm a part-timer.
Doesn't it smell like bread?
Is it my imagination?
I think it's your imagination.
Kanigama-sensei didn't want to let anyone into her house,
but you were even given a key.
So, you also know Kanigama-sensei is Tomoe Yuizuki?
Did you know that she passed away?
<"What should I answer?">
But you still came to clean.
Do you work house cleaning during the day?
No, I work at Yumehana Supermarket during the daytime.
Is that so?
I think her mother will decide
what to do with this house in the future.
Until then, please come by from time to time and clean up the room.
If she trusted you, I'll trust you, too.
The cleaning fee will be paid by Togen Publishing from now on...
so please bill me from now on.
Did Kanigama-sensei really pass away?
I can't believe it.
Her body is now at her parents' house.
Tomorrow is the wake. The funeral will be the day after.
It's a private funeral,
but if you'd like to say goodbye
please come to the wake tomorrow, I'll be there.
Can I ask for your contact info?
<"Phone is in the ocean ...">
I've left it at home...
Oh then, give me your phone number.
You don't remember your number?
Mine is on the back of my business card,
so please send me a short message later.
Excuse me. Thank you.
He's gone.
...so, how did it go?
He believed that I was a part-time cleaner.
Also...
this...
My wake and funeral...
Let's go.
What?
I want to make sure I'm really dead, and I want to see my mom.
Mom? You have mom?
Momochi..
Do you have any black clothes?
Momochi, go first.
go!
Okay….
Sensei
After all, she's dead.
<"That old man is weird ... ">
Mom!
Mom! it's me! Mom!
What are you doing !?
Mom ~!
Somebody! Get this man out of here!
Let me go... Ouch!
Mom! Mom ~! Mom ...!
Why? Why…?
It hurts!
Mom ~!
Mom! it's me! Mom!
What are you doing !?
Mom ~!
Somebody! Get this man out of here!
Let me go ... Ouch!
Mom! Mom ~! Mom ...!
Why? Why…?
It hurts!
It hurts! Let go!
Go ahead.
This is Kanigama-sensei's mother.
This is the housecleaner that Tomoe hired.
It seems that he was very trusted.
I see.
Thank you for taking care of my daughter.
Say goodbye.
Sensei.
Mom!
Be quiet!
<"Where's Sensei gone...?">
Did you see the body?
Was it me?
Mom looked at me with disgust...
I've never seen her face like that...
With a body like this, no one will believe me.
You don't believe me either.
<"Who is this strange old man?">
It's too plain to be Kanigama Joe's wake!
Stupid!
I will draw.
I will draw "SEIKA no Sora".
It's the only thing I can do now, I'm alive!
I'll draw "SEIKA no Sora" and deliver it to my readers.
<"How will you deliver it?">
What? You don't want to read it?
No, I want to read it.
Don't you want to read it the most in the world?
I want to read the most in the world ...
Then, bring me my tablet from home.
I'll draw it at Momochi's house!
<"Why my house?">
<"He's really drawing the manga..">
<"Is this person Kanigama-sensei after all?">
<"No no no no no no no no!">
<"Why doesn't she draw in her own house?">
<"Because she wants to be near me?">
<"No no no no no no, It can't be.">
You can sleep.
You're a nuisance if you're awake.
<"For days, this person kept drawing "SEIKA no Sora.">
<"He couldn't use an assistant, so he drew all the backgrounds himself.">
<"The strange old man's enthusiasm grew by the day.">
<"And he grew further from the beautiful Kanigama-sensei.">
Ah, it's a phone.
Hey, hey what about me?
You didn't buy mine and just bought yours?
I had to send a message to Takamizawa yesterday.
Go get me one too! The latest one.
Go buy it now!
<"Before that ... ">
I'll try to find out who this person is.
Buy a cell phone.
I can't make it through the break time without Momochi.
Yes yes.
Momochi took a long vacation.
Tanaka, from cleaning, is also on vacation for a long time.
I'm lonely….
Who is Tanaka from cleaning?
You know, the dark, disgusting guy...He's tall.
Tanaka is nice!
He looks like Blackjack.
Dark and nihilistic.
Speaking of manga...
My son likes a manga called "SEIKA no Sora"
and he's always talking about it.
Li-chan, do you know "SEIKA no Sora" ?
Yes. I'm reading for study.
But, it's difficult.
I like Tezuka Osamu (T/N: Astro Boy's Mangaka).
Well, Kanigama Joe is not even close to Tezuka Osamu's feet.
I don't know at all!
Don't you know?
I don't know.
User: Muddy Water Shit manga is serialized this week as usual Also Shitty as usual. #ShitManga #KanigamaJoe #Boring
Do you know this person?
I don't know.
Thank you very much.
I'm sorry. Have you ever seen this person?
I don't know.
If you've seen him around...
Excuse me.
Do you know this person?
I don't know ...
I'm back.
<"I still can't believe it...">
Hey!
The bathroom is so small
and the bath towels are so thin...
Oh yeah...I just shaved...
Oh, it's bleeding! Blood! It's a cut!
Blood! blood! Momochi, I'm bleeding!
Hey, can you hear me?
Please leave.
I just can't believe it.
Please don't stain my precious Kanigama-sensei any more.
I'm sure you thought you could fool me, but it's just not right...
I'm off to work, my vacation ended yesterday.
Please leave before I come back.
Chapter 113 will be out.
At least read it ...
It's so strange...
A new manuscript is uploaded to Kanigama-sensei's storage.
Please look.
What is it? This...
Kanigama-sensei passed away,
but the manuscript was written this morning...
I'm scared.
I can't help but think it was drawn by Sensei's spirit.
I'm so scared, Takamizawa.
Calm down ...
Good morning.
Welcome back!
We were all saying that we would miss you every day.
Sorry.
Did you go back to countryside?
No...
Traveling with that kicking queen?
No.
Oh, don't be in such a hurry.
I've been through a lot...really.
It's troublesome!
Tanaka from Raccoon Cleaning has evaporated.
I've just met the guy from Raccoon Cleaning.
I said, "I haven't seen Tanaka around lately,"
and he said, "He doesn't go back home and also doesn't come to work."
I'm sorry. Who is Tanaka?
My blackjack!
Momochi, This person, Tanaka from Raccoon Cleaning.
No way! Li-chan, did you take a photo with him?
Li-san, this ...
My love, it's over.
Oh, thief! Give me back my phone!
Excuse me.
I just heard that Tanaka who disappeared is this person, right?
What is his first name?
I don't know.
When did Tanaka disappear?
He was at the office a week ago.
Does he have a family?
Can you give me the contact info?
What are you to Tanaka?
I'd like to know where Tanaka is.
Careful. I'm sorry ...
Oh, that body of yours... I mean,
you're Tanaka from Yumehana Supermarket's cleaning service.
What?
I figured out who you are.
Please remember, Tanaka!
Let's go to Raccoon Cleaning now and listen to them.
I'm Tomoe. Not Tanaka.
But, your figure is Tanaka from Raccoon Cleaning.
That's enough!
If you don't believe me, that's enough.
I'm leaving.
So ...
Follow me to see my mom one last time.
What?
If I'm alone, I might get turned away because of the wake.
Please, Momochi ... Please!
No, hey ... no, ...
Follow me so I don't get treated like a pervert.
Ever since Dad died, I've been Mom's reason for living.
She told me that if anything happened to me, she would die too.
It would be too pitiful if she died, even though I'm here.
You must have seen her face at the wake.
Get dressed! Momochi.
No no no no ...
I don't have a card so you will have to withdraw money from the account.
But ...
Do you think I can see mom looking like this?
You made a million-yen working part-time, why are you being so stingy?
You will continue to earn, so....
Hurry up and go! No no no no no
Please come in.
Let's take a cab.
You can't. I don't have any money.
We're going by train again?
Yes, we are.
Cheapskate!
That's normal.
Please walk properly!
I know. It hurts!
This is definitely Kanigama Joe's manuscript.
The lines are so soft you can almost feel the texture.
Flowing panel layout.
Floating action scenes.
And Cabejiro's breathless eyesight.
A manga editor can tell at a glance.
And above all, it's interesting. It's overwhelmingly interesting.
This can be only made by Kanigama Joe.
That's true, but even if there was stock, who uploaded it to storage?
I'm checking now.
You have an idea? Yes.
I'll identify the uploader and send this to print.
If we can get the family to acknowledge that it's the author's work
and get consent, we'll have no problem, right?
It feels occult.
I have to leave early and take a cleansing shower.
But doesn't that mean it was stocked?
Simple. Her family uploaded it.
No way her mother knows the password, she doesn't live with her.
Momochi, ring the bell.
Eh?
I'm your friend.
No, but you met her at the wake.
It's hard to remember people's faces.
<"I think the impact of the wake was quite strong...">
The only person I can rely on is you.
So, protect me, okay?
It's quite a look.
Mom likes pretty boys.
No ... but that ... Ahh...
Wait ... What? No ...
Yes!
Um..I'm...
I'm Momochi who used to work part-time cleaning at Kanigama-sensei's house.
I was wondering if I could offer her some incense.
You're the one who came to the wake.
Yes
I've got a friend with me.
Please, this way.
Excuse me.
That this ...
Well, thank you. My daughter will be very happy.
What was the name of the rose again?
Uh, Benjamin...
It's Jeanne d'Arc.
Tomo-chan, you see, he got a beautiful rose.
Gorgeous like Tomo-chan.
This girl gave me these expensive roses every year for my birthday.
The number of roses gradually increased,
and these days, my house looks like a flower shop.
Hahahaha ...
Oh, I'll make tea.
Momochi is so handsome.
You look like a different person from the wake.
He's naturally handsome.
I couldn't see well because of tears at that time.
Here you go. Thank you.
Please relax your legs.
Thank you.
That girl also sent me this tea about a month ago.
It's lychee tea.
This tea is too fancy for this house and me.
Your friend is also handsome but
have I seen him anywhere?
<"What should I do? I should say something.">
It's cute.
She's a violent kid,
and she hit boys too.
She often had a fight with me.
It's like a martial art called parenting.
I miss it.
See, there is this one where she made a weird face on purpose.
But the next day, she got mumps and had a hard time.
Isn't it chickenpox?
It's chickenpox. I'm sure of it.
Because... I still have chicken pox scars...
What is he talking about?
Mom, I know you didn't believe me at the wake, but...
I'm...
your...
It's a little early.
I've already said it.
What are you talking about? "At the wake."
It's nothing.
What? You were at the wake too?
I went. I went to my own wake.
eh?
No no no no ...
That's true, but... No, no, no, no...
I'm Tomoe.
I'm this Tomoe!
What are you doing? Please give it back!
I don't know where to start with this...
I'm your daughter.
I'm Tomoe Yuizuki and Kanigama Joe.
What is it? this person!
Mom ~! Mom!
Mom! Mom!
I knew I'd seen him before... the pervert at the wake!
I'm not a pervert!
Mom!
Wait a minute!
I don't know but I woke up in hospital after accident and I looked like this!
What nonsense!
It's true! You have to believe me!
What is this, Momochi? this person!
Mom!
Don't call me, mom!
Momochi, take this person home.
Get out!
If you don't leave, I'm really going to call 110.
You can't calm down! But ...
Get out!
If you don't go out, I'll really dial 110.
Okay. Let's go home for today.
Just call 110!
Because I'm me!
I told you to go home!
Go home! Go home! Go home!
I thought Mom would understand even if no one else did...
The chicken pox is healed in about a month, but
then I fell off the jungle gym
and broke my right arm, so I was hospitalized,
and then I refused to go to school. Don't you remember?
If you look it up, you'll know it!
I won't be fooled! I'm sorry I'm sorry ...
Go home! Why don't you believe me?
Mom!
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry ...
I'm sorry I'm sorry ...
Go.
Let's go.
Calling: Nozomu Momochi
Don't you read Chapter 113 of "SEIKA"?
Eh?
Read it. Just use my phone.
Here.
Thank you.
(Cabejiro) "Where am I..."
"I ... died?"
"Not now, I still have things to do."
"I can't just stop here..."
(Cabbage god) "There's no point in looking for an exit."
"This is the world of the dead."
"In other words, you're dead."
"I can only bring you back to life in the subs for three months."
"But a piece of your body will be the price."
(Cabejiro) "... What is that?"
"How many sacrifices there have been because of Demon King?"
"Compared to their sorrow and suffering... it's nothing!"
(Cabbage god) "Well said!"
"You are the true hero!"
"I'm going to remove half your face... Permanently... hairless..."
"It will never grow again"
(Lycopene) "What happened to Cabejiro suddenly ...!?"
"Cabejiro!"
(Moyao) "Cabejiro is standing up!"
(Cabejiro) "Thank you, Cabbage God."
"Everyone, I'm back!"
Why are you crying?
It's so interesting that it took me by surprise.
It's not the kind of story that makes you cry...
Weird Momochi.
I thought there would be no more to this story,
but I'm so happy to see such an interesting continuation...
I'm happy.
It's because of fans like Momochi ...
that I'm able to live, even though I look like this.
Not just me
there are so many fans.
See!
Tweet 1: Cabejiro is cool, Lycopene is cute. Characters are good. Tweet 2: SEIKA is a manga that you can talk about until morning.
Some of them are like this, though.
What is this? Tweet: I can draw such a shit manga and live well. You don't have to return the money, just give me back my time. This famous shit mangaka!
I wonder if Antis will regret it when they find out Kanigama Joe is dead.
I can't let that happen.
Say it after paying money first.
Don't give opinions after you read on an illegal site,
and don't take up my time with your self-satisfied tweets,
You, poor man in body and soul!
"Fierce Peach" ... Momochi?
No way... That's too cool!
Say it! Say more!
You don't understand the goodness of SEIKA, or are you tasteless?"
Say more!
Don't you know that Kanigama is the only one that exceeds the reality?
"This manga has saved my life!"
"No one loves SEIKA as much as I do!"
Momochi is the best!
Thank you, Momochi.
Why...
Why do I have to go through this...?
I didn't do anything wrong...
I was just trying to draw a manga...!
<"I've known Kanigama-sensei for a month and a half.">
<"It was the first time I'd seen the always confident sensei like this.">
I believe you.
I believe that you are sensei.
Momochi.
Don't you dare dodge!
Ah ... Ouch ...
Hahahaha ...
What are you hiding from me~!
Public bath?
How's it going with my son? Is it as bad as ever?
It's the son.
Pervert! What scam are you doing?
Itako scam!
Kanigama-sensei is ....She's my favorite person.
