Ai and Kokoro each decide to try their hand at drawing a solo original manga for the upcoming winter Comitia.

It's school festival season. The manga club is going to participate in the festival, but Ishiryu is not enthusiastic. Meanwhile, Akabuku praises the manga that Ishiryu is serializing on social media, but Ishiryu is indifferent. Since childhood, Ishiryu's mother has taught him that "90% of everything is rubbish." However, Akabuku doesn't seem to care.

At the end of summer, after receiving advice from Ishiryu for the next Comitia, Ankai and Fujimori decided to collaborate on a four-panel comic and
start posting it on social media. The two were nervous about their manga being shared with the whole world, but they felt encouraged by the positive reactions. However, when the number of "likes" began to stagnate, Ankai started to wonder if her manga was even interesting.
