Takagi incites you to meet with Miho Azuki, your crush, and tells her the two plan to become manga artists. In response, Azuki reveals her plans to be a voice actress. You proposes to her that they should both marry when Azuki becomes a voice actress for the anime adaptation of their manga. She accepts, but under the condition that they not meet face-to-face again until then. The two boys then start creating manga, under the pen name Muto Ashirogi, in hopes of getting serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump.
