Kotori Yuu-chan wa Uchikiri Manga wo Itoshi Sugiteiru

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.
