Synopsis

Ai Yasumi, manga-loving island girl, journeys to Tokyo to meet her idol and begins pursuing her own mangaka dream.

Ai Yasumi, a first-year high school student living on Izu-Oshima, loves manga more than anything. When she learns that her long-admired, yet long-inactive, favorite manga artist Hoshi no Rei will be exhibiting at COMITIA, she sets off on a journey to Tokyo. What she doesn't expect, however, is that a fateful encounter at the event will change her life forever. "How does one become a manga artist?" Ai steps into the world of manga creation—a path she thought she understood, yet knows so little about. This is the story of a girl taking her first steps down the road to becoming a mangaka.
