Mangaka-san to Messi to Assi

An offer to work as an assistant for the wildly popular manga artist Retsuto suddenly comes to Iimi, a sought-after assistant who’s constantly called to different projects.

Excited, he heads to the site, only to be greeted by none other than Ashida, a former classmate he had a falling out with back in high school...!?

Despite the awkwardness, they end up working together as fellow assistants. Ashida may be blunt, but to Iimi’s surprise, he actually appreciates his work.

As they sit side by side battling deadlines, Iimi slowly starts to find being next to Ashida more and more comfortable...!?
