Kotori Yuu-chan wa Uchikiri Manga wo Itoshi Sugiteiru

After school, what secretly takes place in the clubroom is... a critique of canceled manga!?

I, Tsukimori Tsukasa, am a high school student with dreams of becoming a manga artist. I've made it to the final selection of the manga contest in the hugely popular manga magazine, Weekly Comet. So, every day, I find myself in the manga clubroom, agonizing over storyboards as I aim for my debut... but then there's Kotori Yuu, a younger club member with an unusual obsession for canceled manga, who is always poking her nose into my business.

*"You know… it’s just that you have terrible taste. It’s like you're enjoying watching a death game from a safe distance, like some rich person entertained by the plight of the poor."

"No, that's not it! What I’m after is the beauty of the final moments! The aesthetics of a close call! The way the defeated live their lives!"

"You’re just an extremely bothersome person!"*

The manga clubroom is, as always, filled with silly conversations.

Note: The chapter count includes a prologue and an epilogue.
