action
Kazuki Sendō ( 千 堂 和 樹 , Sendō Kazuki ), a Japanese student, is dragged to a comic fair with his girlfriend Mizuki Takase ( 高 瀬 瑞希 , Takase Mizuki ) by Taishi Kuhonbutsu ( 九品 仏 大志 , Kuhonbutsu Taishi ). Taishi Kazuki succeeds in convincing him to draw a dōjinshi, a fan comic, and sell it at the next fair. But Mizuki does not like this idea because she hates the masses because of the many people and the queues that go with them.
Kazuki is supported in his first dōjinshi by Taishi and Yū Inagawa ( 猪 名 川 由 由 , Inagawa Yū ). Yū comes from the country and is an enthusiastic dōjinshi artist. Kazuki also meets little Chisa Tsukamoto ( 塚 本 千 紗 , Tsukamoto Chisa ), who works in her parents' print shop, where Kazuki prints his first dōjinshi. He is also introduced to Minami Makimura ( 牧 村 南 , Makimura Minami ), the organizer of the trade fairs, and Eimi Ōba ( 大 庭 詠 美 , Ōba Eimi ), Yū's rival. His first dōjinshi is bought by quite a few - but not very many - trade fair visitors. Now Mizuki also supports him because he has problems at school and still has to pay off the costs for the printing company. For this reason he works in a cosplay cafe .
Now Kazuki wants to draw an even better dōjinshi and mixes the most popular genres. But this attempt fails because the readers can no longer find a clear style in the work and cannot classify it into any genre. After that, he initially wants to give up, but is then encouraged by his friends to keep drawing. He also gets support from some of his fans. In addition, Kazuki also has to choose his career after school.
