Synopsis
Yukari and Ken form a manga duo; she loves him, but he never praises her work.
Together with Ken, her childhood friend, Yukari starts a manga duo, "Abiko and Fujimoto!" Since they were in junior high school, the two of them have always been creating doujinshi that never really sell. Yukari has always liked Ken more than a friend, but it is probably doomed to be an impossible love considering the prideful and sadistic Ken never even praised her manga at all! Can Yukari win his heart with her drawing skill? (Source: Torico)
