Foxtrot (WEB)
Some-Stuffs (WEB)
I'm surprised you remember that. It was so long ago.
I'm surprised you remember something from so long ago.
I keep a diary, you see.
I wrote it in my diary.
Look. Isn't it cute?
See? Isn't it just the cutest thing?
Sure is.
For sure!
Kiss me again when we're reborn.
Come and kiss me once we've reincarnated.
I promise.
I promise...
I was reincarnated!
I reincarnated!
Where are you, my love?
Baby, where are you?
All right.
All right...
It's time to pass out this week's school newspaper.
I'm handing out the weekly school paper.
Don't forget to show your parents too.
Don't forget to show your parents.
This art is so good.
Sick drawings!
Fujino, your four-panel manga this week was also really funny!
Fujino, your strips were so funny again this week!
Hmm?
To tell you the truth...
Oh, that?
...I was pretty slammed this week, so I drew them up in five minutes.
I was actually a bit busy this week, so I drew it in five minutes.
But I guess they didn't come out too bad.
But I guess it turned out all right anyway.
Sick! You could be a comics artist someday!
Wow...
Comics artist, huh?
You could be a manga artist when you grow up.
Hmm. We'll see.
A manga artist, huh?
But sitting at a desk drawing all the time sounds so boring.
Maybe.
You're pretty sporty, too, so why not become an athlete?
But sitting at your desk drawing all day sounds boring.
Huh... Maybe I should.
You're good at sports too, so why not be an athlete?
Whatever you do, gimme your autograph!
Yeah, I'd rather do that.
Really? Oh, fine.
Either way, gimme your autograph!
Me, too!
What? Well, I don't mind.
Fujino!
I want one too!
Ah... Yeah! What is it, sir?
Fujino.
For the comic strips in next week's school paper...
Huh? Yes!
You mind if I give a slot to Kyomoto?
What is it, sir?
Kyomoto? Who's that?
About the four-panel manga slots for the next newspaper.
A truant student from the next class over.
Would you mind turning one over to Kyoumoto?
The kid wants to try drawing a comic even though they can't come to school.
Kyoumoto? Who's that?
Well, I guess it's fine.
The truant student in the class next door.
But drawing decent art won't be easy for a novice.
She can't come to school, but she wants to try her hand at drawing manga.
Isn't drawing a comic kind of a big ask for someone too wimpy to even come to school?
I see...
Hey, I'm handing out the school paper.
I mean, I guess I don't mind.
Don't forget to show your parents.
But it would be hard for an amateur to draw some decent art.
Woah... This art is pro-level.
I have to wonder, can a scaredy-cat who can't even come to school handle drawing manga?
Hey, you see this?
I'm passing out the school newspaper. Don't forget to show your parents!
Kyomoto? Who's that?
Whoa, this is pro-level art.
Isn't that the truant kid?
Hey, did you see it?
I gotta say...
Who was Kyoumoto again?
Compared to Kyomoto's drawings, Fujino's are just okay.
She's that truant kid, right?
Amazing! Fujino, how did you learn to draw so well?
But you know,
You're better at drawing than any student I've ever seen.
Fujino's art looks pretty average next to Kyoumoto's.
You could become an artist with drawings like these.
Wow, Fujino! How are you so good at drawing?
Compared to Kyomoto's drawings, Fujino's are just okay!
You have the best drawing skills I've seen out of all of my students.
I get it.
Why, you could become an artist with these skills.
That Kyomoto kid must be practicing drawing while I'm at school.
Fujino's art looks pretty average next to Kyoumoto's.
A fourth-year who's better at drawing than me?!
Oh, I get it.
That is absolutely not okay!
Kyoumoto practices drawing while I'm at school.
A fourth grader who's better at drawing than me?!
Like I'd ever let that happen!
Welcome.
Welcome.
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right!
Okay!
Let's go somewhere.
We should go hang out.
Wanna come to my house?
My place good?
Yes! Are you sure?
Yeah, let's do it! You ready?
Fujino.
Fujino.
Whatcha drawing?
Whatcha drawing?
Hey.
Hey...
The human skeleton.
Human skeleton.
We're sixth graders now, you know?
So, you know we're sixth-years now, right?
Yeah.
Mhm.
We'll be middle schoolers next year. Are you still gonna draw then?
Next year is middle school. You gonna keep drawing?
Huh?
Huh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Oh, okay...
Uh-huh...
Um, you know what?
Wanna know something?
Yosshi and Mihorin haven't been able to tell you this either, but...
Yosshi and Mihorin haven't been able to tell you this either...
isn't it about time you grow out of drawing?
...but aren't you getting a little old to still be drawing?
You don't really hang out with us anymore.
You don't hang out with us anymore.
And when you do, you're always drawing and you don't talk.
And when you do, you just draw without talking.
Plus,
Oh, yeah...
if you keep drawing in middle school,
If you keep drawing in middle school...
people will think you're a creepy nerd, you know.
...people will think you're a weird nerd and say you're creepy.
Kae, what's the hold up?
Kae, you coming?
I'll be right there!
Yeah, I'm coming!
Give me a sec!
Wait up!
Don't bother her.
Quit bugging her. She's just drawing, right?
I mean, she's drawing, right?
Mom says hurry up and get in the bath already.
Mom says to hurry up and take your bath already.
Sis, didn't I tell you to knock before barging in?
I told you to knock before you come into my room, Sis! C'mon!
God!
Sheesh! Okay, okay!
Sheesh!
So how long are you gonna keep drawing manga?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
You should come to my karate class.
How much longer you gonna keep drawing comics?
You can put it on your transcript.
You should go to my karate class.
Whatever.
Would look good on your transcript.
Mom and Dad don't say it, but they're worried about you.
Oh, yeah?
You're always cooped up in your room, and your test scores are abysmal.
Mom and Dad won't say it, but they're worried about you.
Get out of my room.
You're always shut up in your room, and your test scores are garbage.
All right, quiet down! I'm passing out the school paper.
Go away.
Don't forget to show it to your parents.
All right, quiet down.
I'm handing out the school paper.
Don't forget to show your parents.
I quit.
I quit.
What's wrong?
What's wrong? Pass me the paper, Fujino.
Can you pass it back, Fujino?
Hey...
Hey, you wanna go for some ice cream after school today?
Wanna grab some ice cream with me on the way home?
Really? Yeah, sure!
Huh?! Yeah, sure!
It's been forever since we hung out!
We haven't hung out in forever!
Mom, could you throw these out too?
Okay...
Hey, Fujino. Congratulations on graduating.
Mom! Can you throw these ones out, too?
Sorry to drop this on you,
Oh, Fujino. Congrats on your graduation.
but could you deliver Kyoumoto's diploma for me?
Sorry if I got you at a bad time.
I'll give you the address.
Could you deliver this diploma to Kyomoto for me?
What? Why do I have to?
I'll give you her address.
Come on, I know you quit during the sixth grade,
Huh? Why me?
but both of you drew manga for the school paper.
Well, even though you stopped drawing comics for the school paper in sixth year...
I'm sure Kyoumoto would rather get it from you than an old man like me.
...you two still worked on it together.
But I don't wanna.
I'm sure Kyomoto would rather get it from you than an old man like me.
Oh, come on, be a good sport and do your teacher one last favor, will you?
I'd... really rather not.
Seriously?
Please?
Do your teacher one last favor.
Really?
Here.
Here.
No one's home?
No one home?
Oh, it's open.
Oh, it's open.
Hello?
Hello?
I'm here to deliver your diploma.
I got your diploma with me.
I'll leave it right here, okay?
I'm leaving it here.
Someone is home.
Someone here?
Excuse me?
Umm...
I have your diploma.
I'm here to give you your diploma.
Don't come out! Don't come out!
Stay inside! Stay inside!
Come out! Come out!
Go outside! Go outside!
It's the shut-in world championship finals!
It's the shut-in competition world finals!
Kyoumoto is in the lead by a long shot!
Right now, Kyomoto is in first place with a huge lead!
What am I even doing?
What am I even doing?
Wha—
Whoops...
No!
Huh?
Uh...
Uh...
I'll just leave your diploma over here!
Umm...
Goodbye!
I delivered your diploma to you!
Sorry to bother you!
Fujino!
Fujino!
K-Kyoumoto?
K-Kyomoto?
U-Um, every week, I-I got the...
E-E-Ev...
I got the school paper.
Umm... Every... Uh... Every week...
I've read your manga from the start. Since the third grade.
Every week, I got the paper...
I-I-I...
From the beginning... I've been reading your comics since third year.
I'm actually a fan of yours!
I... I... I'm... I'm a I-I'm...
Can I please have your autograph?
I'm... a huge fan of yours, Fujino!
Oh! I don't have anything with me!
Please give me your autograph!
Um, paper, paper!
No! Paper... Paper...
M-My back! Please sign the back of my jacket!
M-My back!
Sure.
Please sign the back of my jacket!
My favorites are Love Square from the second week of August in the third grade,
Fine.
the Sasaki series you wrote from January to March during the f-fourth grade,
My favorite stories of yours are Love Quadrangle from the second week of August in third grade and...
and everything from the fifth and sixth grade was godlike.
...th-the Sasaki series that ran from January to March in fourth year...
I couldn't always finish my strips in time,
...and literally everything you did from fifth and sixth year was god-tier comedy!
but you ran yours every week while going to school.
I couldn't always finish my strips on time every week...
It was so amazing. I was like, is she really a grade schooler like me?
...but you did that and went to school at the same time!
Your stories and drawings improved rapidly since the fifth grade,
You were so good, I legit couldn't believe you were a grade schooler...
and I became sure of it!
During fifth year, your art and writing only got better and better...
Fujino, you're a manga genius!
...and that was when I was convinced!
So, why...
Fujino, you're a master at making comics!
Why did you stop drawing your strips in the sixth grade?
So, like... Why?
Well, about that...
Why'd you stop drawing strips in the middle of sixth year?
I'm actually coming up with a story for a manga contest right now.
Well, at the moment... Uh...
Basically, I quit so I could kick it up a notch.
Well, at the moment, I'm trying to come up with a story for a comic competition.
A manga contest?
I guess I had to quit so I could step up my game.
W-W-Wow!
A comic competition?
I wanna see it! I totally wanna see it!
Ep... Ep...
That's so amazing!
Epic!
I wanna see! I wanna see!
Lemme see! Lemme see! Lemme see! That's so freakin' epic!
I mean, it's still, like, in my head for now,
Lemme see! Lemme see! Lemme see!
but it's pretty much finished.
Well, it's all just in my head right now, so there's nothing to see.
Basically, all that's left is to draw a draft and ink it.
But it's pretty much all finished up there.
I wanna see it! I wanna see it! I wanna!
Basically, all that's left is to draw a draft and ink it, more or less.
Then, I guess I can show you when it's done.
Lemme see! Lemme see! Lemme see! Lemme see!
It's starting to rain, so I should go.
Well, I guess I can show you once I write the story down.
Later.
It's starting to rain. I'm going home.
See ya.
See ya!
See ya!
Wait for me!
Wait for me!
I'm home.
I'm back.
Welcome back.
Welcome home!
You're still here?
You're still here?
Wait, you already finished those backgrounds?
Wait, you already did the background?
Yeah, it's a piece of cake since I don't go to school.
Yeah. I don't go to school, so it was a total breeze.
But it feels like we'll never finish all 45 pages, though.
But I feel like we're never gonna finish all forty-five pages.
Yeah, and that's with drawing nonstop too.
Yeah, and we've been drawing nonstop.
You drew this while in middle school?
This was really drawn by middle schoolers?
That's incredible. I'm really impressed!
Impressive! I'm shocked!
Yeah, but it took us an entire year to finish it.
It took us a whole year to finish it, though.
And she did all the backgrounds.
She's the one who did all the backgrounds.
Oh, come now. Being able to finish drawing a manga in middle school is quite the feat!
Oh, no, the fact that you made a comic from start to finish alone is impressive.
The art and story are both high quality too.
The art and story are seriously next level.
I think this could win an honorable mention at the very least.
At worst, you two are getting an honorable mention.
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
I opened a bank account with my mom.
I opened a bank account with my mom.
Me too.
Me, too.
And, wait for it...
Oh, oh, oh, check this out...
Ta-da!
Ta-da!
I withdrew 100,000 yen.
I withdrew 100,000 yen.
Wow!
You could buy your own house with that!
You could buy a house with that...
Really? A house?
Wanna buy one?
We'll hit the town tomorrow.
Let's go into town tomorrow.
My treat.
It's my treat.
Sh... Should... Shouldn't you save that?
D-Don't you need to put that into your savings?
Nah, we'll just keep drawing comics and earn crazy money.
Well, we're gonna draw more manga and rake in the cash anyway.
This is going towards eating a crazy amount of whipped cream.
So let's splurge a little and go eat tons of whipped cream.
Okay!
Okay.
Thank you for treating me today.
Thanks for treating me today.
We were supposed to go crazy, but we only spent 5,000 yen.
We spent like crazy, but we only used 5,000 yen.
I'm glad I left my room.
I'm glad I came out of my room.
Huh?
Huh?
To tell you the truth, I was afraid of going out today.
I was scared to go out today, to be honest.
You see, I stopped going to school because I got scared of people.
I... became scared of people, so I stopped going to school.
But I had a really good time today.
But today was so, so much fun.
I started drawing because I had nothing to do at home.
I started drawing because I had nothing to do at home.
But now I'm glad I drew.
But I'm glad I did.
Fujino.
Fujino, thank you for helping me leave my room.
Thank you for getting me out of my room.
That'll be 100,000 yen.
You can thank me with 100,000 yen.
Huh?
What?
I'm kidding.
Just kidding.
We're getting serialized?
We're getting serialized?
The editor-in-chief wants to let you give it a spin after you graduate high school.
The editor-in-chief wants you to try it out after you graduate high school.
You've had seven one-shots published by the age of 17, after all!
You've had seven one-shots published by age seventeen!
It's a long time coming if you ask me!
This was overdue.
I'm sorry, I...
I'm sorry. I...
I want to go to art school, so...
I want to go to art school.
So,
So...
So...
I can't help with the series.
I can't help with the series.
Where's this coming from all of a sudden?
Where is this coming from?
Well, I guess it's fine.
Well... Well, it's fine.
You only draw the backgrounds anyway.
You only draw the backgrounds.
I can get assistants to handle that.
I can get an assistant for that.
B-But there's no point in going to art school.
B-But just so you know, going to art school is pointless.
I heard there are zero job prospects even with a degree in art.
They say art degrees are worthless to employers.
Y-Yeah...
Y-Yeah...
I know—
I know that...
And you'll have to talk to a lot of strangers, you know?
You'll be surrounded by strangers. Can you even talk to them?
I'll... work on that.
I'll try my best...
If you stick with me, everything will work out smoothly.
Things will work out for the best if you just stick with me.
I...
I... don't want to rely on you...
I want to stop relying on you
I want to support myself.
and try living on my own.
You'll get bored! I know it!
It'll be boring! I guarantee it!
No I won't!
No, it won't!
You will for sure!
No, it totally will be!
Besides, you of all people can't make it in college on your own!
I mean, there's no way you can handle college life on your own!
I-I can! I can push myself to make it!
I-I can! I'll learn how!
No way!
You can't!
You're too shy to even talk to the cashier at the convenience store!
You're so shy, you can't even talk to the cashier at the convenience store!
I'll practice!
I'll practice!
You'll never pull it off!
No way! Not happening!
But...
But...!
But what?!
What?
I want...
I want...
to become a better artist.
...to get better at drawing.
Yes. She works diligently,
Yeah. She's serious and tries really hard, but...
but it's just not working out.
She's kinda hard to work with.
Is there anyone else?
Is there anyone else?
Yes, right. I need more assistants.
Yeah... I still need an assistant.
She's fast, but...
She has quick hands, but...
She doesn't give enough thought to the whole picture.
I feel like she doesn't think about the big picture.
I know it's hard to find someone good.
I know good talent is hard to come by, but...
Right. I'll just have to do what I can for now.
Right. I'll just have to make do for now.
No, I'm sorry for the trouble.
No, no. Sorry again.
Let's discuss it again another time.
We'll talk about it another time.
Okay. Bye.
Okay. Bye.
I repeat.
I repeat...
Today at midday, at an art university in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture,
Earlier today at an art university in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture...
a man with no fixed address

attacked students using an ax-like tool.
...assaulted several students using an axe-like weapon.
The Yamagata police have apprehended the man believed to be the culprit.
The Yamagata police have the suspect in custody.
Information regarding the victims has yet to be received.

The Yamagata police are investigating the case as a possible indiscriminate attack.

If our manga ever gets serialized, I'd want it to have super-awesome art.
So, like, if... if our comic ever gets serialized...
But I draw really slow.
I want the art to be super good.
I wish I could draw faster.
But I'm so slow at drawing.
That'll be a piece of cake.
I wish I were faster...
Improve your art skills and your speed increases with them.
That's the easy part.
You'll get faster as you develop your skill.
I plan on improving mine.
I plan on improving mine.
Then I'll get better at drawing too.
Then I'll get better at drawing, too.
Like you.
Just like you, Fujino.
Sweet. Keep your eyes on my back and you'll grow too.
Good. Just look at my back and you'll grow along with me.
It's my fault.
It's because...
I drew this manga that day.
Kyoumoto died...
Huh?
It's my fault...
It's my fault...
If I hadn't brought her out of her room, then she wouldn't have died.
All because...
...I drew this comic back then.
Kyomoto's death...
Huh?
It was my fault.
If I hadn't made her leave her room, she'd still be alive...
What?
What?
Why?
Why?
Why did I draw this?
Why did I draw this?
Drawing is completely useless.
Drawing is a complete waste of time...
Huh?
"Stay inside"?
Don't come out?
Hello?
Hello?
I'm here to deliver your diploma.
I got your diploma with me.
I'll leave it right here, okay?
I'm leaving it here.
Must've been a ghost.
Must be a ghost.
Hey, you.
Hey, you...
I mean...
I mean...
You, I'm talking to you.
You. You there!
At the exhibition the other day...
There was a piece that looked like mine, right?
My...
U-Umm...
The artwork I posted online! They ripped it off, right?!
H-Huh?
H-Huh?
At the exhibition, there was a painting that looked like mine, right?
My...
Um...
My art I put online! There was an exact copy, wasn't there?
Right?!
Right?!
Don't...
Don't you dare look down at me!
Don't look down on me!
That idea was mine!
That was my idea!
They ripped it off!
You're a bunch of thieves!
I practice karate at the dojo in the next town over.
Ouch!
I saw the guy heading onto campus with a weapon while I was jogging.
I do karate at the dojo in the next town over.
I knew he was up to something...
And while I was on my run, I saw that dude going into the school with a weapon.
...but after I chased him down and knocked him out with a karate kick, I fell and broke my leg.
I thought he was bad news, so I ran after him,
and when I gave him a karate kick, I fell and broke my own leg too.
Pretty lame, huh?
Pretty lame, huh?
Um, excuse me...
Umm...
Thank you for what you did.
Thank you for saving me.
I, um, would like to thank you properly,
I'd like to thank you properly...
so can I have your phone number?
...so, can I have your number?
Yeah, sure thing.
Oh, yeah, sure thing.
Fujino?
Fujino...
Like from the school paper?
Fujino!
Um, are you the Fujino?
Are you, umm... the Fujino by any chance?
"The"?
Me?
Did you draw four-panel manga strips for the school paper in grade school?
When you were in grade school, did you draw comic strips for the school paper?
Oh, yeah. Now that you mention it, I did do that.
Yeah, now that you mention it, I did.
I knew it!
It really is you!
I was a fan of your manga strips!
Uh... I was a huge fan of your comic strips!
Talk about a crazy coincidence, huh?
Weird coincidence, huh?
Thanks.
Thanks.
Sorry, but it's time to go.
Sorry, we gotta go.
Um, why did you stop drawing manga?
Umm... Why did you stop drawing comics?
I actually started drawing again recently.
I actually started drawing them again recently.
Be my assistant when I get serialized!
If my comic gets serialized, be my assistant, okay?
I'm home.
I'm home.
Oh!
I'll kill you!
I'll kill you!
Aah!
Eeek!
Hup!
Hup!
Bwugh!
Argh!
Aren't you the Fujino?!
You're the Fujino, aren't you?
You all right?
You aren't hurt?
Then my work here is done.
Then my work here is done.
You know, to begin with, I don't even like drawing manga.
So, like, for starters...
It's not fun or glamorous at all, and the entire process is a hassle.
I don't even enjoy drawing comics.
You can draw all day long and still be nowhere near finished.
It's tedious, totally unglamorous, and not fun at all.
I'd be better off just reading instead.
I can draw all day long and still be nowhere near done.
I shouldn't draw it.
I should just stick to reading them.
Drawing isn't for me.
Then why do you draw, Fujino?
Then why do you draw, Fujino?
