The life of an artist can be hard: Long, arduous hours working with only your thoughts and assistants to keep you company. In the case of overworked mangaka Aito, his attempts to merge the two are so far unsuccessful. His priorities are askew and subjecting his assistants to his fantasies has taken precedent over work. Despite his abuse of power, his assistants are willing to play along. Thankfully, editor Mihari is there to keep him in line, from threatening to fire him to physical punishment.
Specials released with the Blu-ray/DVD volumes.
Aito, a lowly manga artist, continually says and does things that make his assistant, Sahoto, uncomfortable in every way imaginable.
A new girl shows up to assist Yuuki, but there may be a problem with her. Later, Yuuki's editor tries to persuade him to alter his manga to rise in the rankings.
Yuuki's porno stash is found and the models look awfully similar to Sahoto. Later, after Yuuki's hamfisted attemps to take care of Sahoto, a cute temporary assistant is hired.
Yuuki angers Sena who takes her vengeance upon him, the group creates a new mascot that Sahoto falls in love with, and Mihari recounts the first time she met Yuuki.
Yuuki meets an unusual fan in the park, Sahoto dreams of being a professional, and our favorite mangaka uses his friends as drawing references.
Yuuki decides to spend his royalty check on the girls, inviting them to a relaxing vacation to the hot springs. But as it always is with Yuuki, he has ulterior motives.
Sahoto's little sister visits, Yuuki's editor decides to spend the night, and the littlest super assistant lets Yuuki into her circle of trust.
The chief editor comes to check progress, Yuuki's dream of becoming the little girl (almost) comes true, and Mihari threatens to reassign Yuuki to another editor.
Hindsight is always 20/20! Mihari contemplates the small mistakes that she may have made in her youth.
Girls in bunny suits, long walks in the rain, and elevator problems are all in a day's work for Yuuki and his lovely assistants!
Mihari's altered appearance is incredibly distressing to Yuuki. Cat sitting becomes a bit of an adventure for Sena and Yuuki.
Sahoto hopes to make her debut with a new author award. The end of the summer has the group analyzing their true nature through particular clothing choices.
