For a young man who loves anime and lives in the countryside, having a friend with whom he can share conversations about it becomes something irreplaceable. They meet up late at night to line up for the premiere of "Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise" and organize a "Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind" viewing party after school. Before they know it, the two of them start on the path to becoming professional animators.
Yamase Fuyu, tired of his black job, runs into Ito, his ex-girlfriend from college, one day and invites her out for a drink. They talk about their old days and their new complaints, and just as he was thinking that this is a nice kind of friendship, they get carried away by the energy of alcohol and end up having a one-night stand. Fuyu regrets what he did, but Ito tells him, "Don't apologize. Don't say, 'Let's get it right.'" Ito, too, was tired of being forced by society to always act properly and adult-like. Thus, the two form a mysterious relationship where they only do fun things, without worrying about work, love, or other troublesome annoyances. (Source: Shogakukan, translated)

"Hey, Ralph. By the way, what's your job today, permission to kill?" "Government official. Please kill them all for love and justice." Oops, don't get me wrong?

Well, it doesn't matter if the client is a good guy or a bad guy. The most important thing is money. What was given to us was a tiny job of catching a girl. However, it was also transformed into a crazy "pleasant kidnapping drama" by the attack of the devil's different ability "Silver Master." (Source: Kadokawa, translated)
