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.*
*"Ugh, why do I have to be married to you?"* *"That's my line."* Due to the Isurugi family's circumstances, Haru has to enter into a political marriage with his former girlfriend and childhood friend, Tamaki Rio. Living together under one roof, a dry life together for the sake of formality... though in actuality, the two have unresolved feelings for each other... *"O-oh no... if he's this close to me... my feelings for Haru are still..."* *"There's no way I can let her find out that she still has a strong influence on me. "* While desperately pretending as if they've gotten over their feelings for each other, their awareness towards the other grows. A fake marriage where a former couple's love is gradually reignited. Watch as the vexing love comedy about the two's fake marriage life is interwoven. (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
