We sweat a lot today's lesson too.
I just can't seem to remember the choreography
You've gotta memorize the dance so you don't throw off the song.
U-uu~ the bubbles feel good~♪
Hey, Yayoi, don't use my shampoo!

Lesson 17: The King is Alone


Page 003


Y-Yeah
Well...
Lately I think Yuutarou-kun has been acting unusual. Is it just my imagination?

It's not. Even though I talked to him, he's still acting absent-minded!
Once in a while Producer doesn't respond when I talk to him... Do I talk too softly...?

I feel like he's acting like I do when I worry because things didn't work out well for me.

I...
feel like he's gotten stronger as a producer.
stronger as a producer?

I think that he has his own problems as a producer like how we have problems as idols.

If that's the case, shouldn't he talk to us about it?
Except I'm still afraid to talk with guys...


Page 004


I don't think that's necessary.

...When I'm trying to think things over and I'm told warm words
it can sometimes do the opposite and only makes things difficult.

Uu~ You're so cool, Chihaya-san!
Ehehe. You don't have to be embarassed about it.
I-I'm just talking from my experience...!
Also, I'm not embarassed!

I'm a little interested in what he's worrying over.

Yeah...

Besides all this, we've got a rare big job tomorrow!
We should get to sleep soon so we can show up in perfect condition!

The Event Scene

We're really owe them for this job, so make sure to leave a good first impression.

Yeah, they're going on to sing sing the theme song of the game dressed as it's mascots.
Today's the game's presentation, right?

I'd like for everyone to get into their outfits soon. Have you decided what each girl's going to wear?

...Eh? That was today's job?
It is... Don't tell me. You forgot?

I-It'll be okay! I'll make sure to get it done my way!

H-Hey, Yuutarou-kun...!?


Page 006


This is bad... I was preoccupied on what Miki said to me and totally forgot...
What'll I do about this!

Ah, Producer-san!

Hey, what's the meaning of this!?

W-Well, I want each of you to put on one of these outfits and go on stage!
Also, we're short on time... We have to quickly decide based on intuition!

As long as I can sing a song...
A-Anyway, let's get started now!

First... Yukiho will wear this!
O-Okay...?
Haruka will...


Page 007


O-Okay, this'll do!
C'mon! If you do this like you always do, it'll turn out fine.

This isn't like me at all!
I think I'll end up digging more holes than usual~
A-Anyway, do your best!

Now it's time for today's guests to get on stage. "765 WINGS" will be the mascots and sing the theme song to "BanNam Allstars!"
I-It's your time, everyone!!


Page 008

P-Pleasure to be here...

A very deep culture.
D-Daydreams broaden the mind!

Smile, Yoritomo!
The fun starts now!
It's unstoppable... Onward to the unending sky...!

Won't you open the door to a distant time?

T-This is going pretty good, isn't it?


Page 009


Dreams, fun, emotion!
I hope you'll get BanNam's Allstars!

-Allstars!
Waah...
Eh!?

Y-Yayoi...Awawawa!
D-Don't come this way!

Ah! Stop, if you grab on to me while I'm wearing this...

Kyaa!
Uwaaah!


Page 010


Gotcha. Are you okay?
Y-Yes. Thank you very much...

Kyaaaaa!! I'm afraid of men!!
Gah!

Ah...

I'm sorry~♥
Who would've thought this would happen...
My image is ruined! This isn't like me at all!
Ah, wha-!?
Uu... Is everyone okay~?


Page 011


765 WING's next appearance will be a singing segment!

W-What do you think?
Slapstick is the appeal of the girls...
Well, I won't call it bad, but...

Isn't this a case of not making the best of the personalities of the girls?

I-I'm sorry...

If I knew this was going to happen, I would've asked 961 Pro, even if they were busy.


Page 012


Yuutarou-kun!?

It's my fault...
It's because I didn't do my job that happened on stage...

If I had done my job, everyone would've been able to work like usual...!

It's because I was acting like that...
everyone's messing up...!

Ah!

Ow, ow...
I-I'm sorry, I was...


Page 013


Eh...!?

You're from 765 Pro, right!?
A basic of promotions is a smile. Making such a depressed face like that is no good!


Page 014


"Good fortune and happiness will come to those who smile," right?
You've gotta smile when things are difficult.

Also, you were making a pretty uncool face earlier.

N-No way I could just smile out of the blue! Even now, how could I smile after you pinched me like...
Just how do you think everyone at 765 Pro smiles when times are tough?


Page 015


I have no idea!
Then why don't you ask them?

A-As if I could do that...!
Don't be so wimpy.

Also, if you were to lose your independent nature here...
You'd end up being left behind by everyone as they continue to grow.

Eh...!?

The answer's closer than you think!
...See you later.


Page 016


W-What was up with her... Meeting someone for the first time and doing that to their face...

Ah, Producer-san, good work today!
Where were you?

Eh...?
The problems we had just now should be affecting everyone more than me...

Today's outfit matching really surprised me!
But this isnt the end. I'll sing as many songs necessary to help recover from what happened.
This is the changing room where no one can see them...but they're all smiling naturally.
Of course. Next time I'll show my true strength!

Why...!


Page 017


Producer-san... Yuutarou-kun, lately...
You haven't been acting like yourself
Haru...ka?

I just can't get it out of my mind...

Ever since we debuted...961 Pro has always been one step ahead of us.
765 Pro was founded using grandpa's methods... But the other day, at the audition, our chance was taken by 961 Pro.

And it was our former 765 Pro's Miki.

At that time Miki told me, "I think I can understand what President Kuroi meant when he said, 'Kings are always lonely.'"
It's been bugging me the entire time...


Page 018


Enough that I couldn't do my work. And today I made you all do that... and yet...
We messed up so much, how can you all smile like that!?

I just don't get it...
What can I do to be like you all...!

...I should be apologizing to you all, instead I'm lashing out at you...!
I'm the worst...!


Page 019


Well of course it's because I just imagine all of the fans kneeling before me as a top idol!
I think Minase-san's is a bit extreme, but... I just imagine myself after my dream has come true.
Also, it's only natural to feel a happy after you got all of those fans to see us!
At first it was pressure...But little by little I'm starting to feel confident...
Though we may be laidback, we're still moving forward.

You were the one who helped us do that, Producer-san.
Eh...!?

Me too!
She's right.
M-Me...also...


Page 020


Besides that! You've been worrying about something like that!?
Because of that I had to wear that outfit!
"Something like that" you say... It was a big problem for me...!

It would have been okay if you came to talk to us abouut it.
If you get off-balance, then we'll start to also.

Yeah. We're together like a three-legged race!

Ah, but there are six of us... There are too many legs... How many legs are there in total anyway...?

Ahahaha...

Producer-san


Page 021


Even if you became a king, I wouldn't want you to become lonely.
Becoming lonely is how you were acting earlier and weren't able to smile...It's just too sad.

Yeah

R-Really...

Jeez, if we left it up to your senses, we'd have nothing nice!
She's right. You should think about style a bit more...

Though we got to wear some outfits that we've never worn before.
In Yayoi's case, I'm sure there are a lot of outfits she's never worm.


Page 022


It's been a while since we've watched from somewhere besides backstage.
Kotori-san... You're seeing the fruit of your labor here.
Yuutarou-kun...

Wow, there are so many people here. Are they all here for the girls?

Oh, It started!

Thank you all for coming to our live show today!

Without further ado
The song is...


Page 023


Oh yeah... This is where I first saw everyone.
There were more people and the stage was more brilliant at that time...

But everyone's shining more than they are at that time!

Everyone's dream is to be top idol. That may be the meaning of 'king' though.

But the king doesn't have to be lonely
Let's aim bigger! Let's all aim to become kings!

We'll compete
We'll work hard together
We'll laugh and cry together.


Page 024


But in the end we'll be unified...
That's how we do it at 765 Pro!

Yeah, that's how it should be.


Page 025


Uwah...There are more fan letters than usual!

This is more proof of our work...
Okay, we'll keep up this pace.

But before that, this office needs some organization...Everything's disorganized.
You should make everything more efficient
Yeah, but taking care of things in the dorms are difficult, so I just don't have time.

Uwaaaah!!!

Y-You!? Since when have you!?
You're quite absentminded. I've been here for a while. I was at that desk over there. Also, about the documents...

Ah, there he is. Yuutarou-kun.


Page 026


Ah, Kotori-san! There's someone I don't know in the office!
Ah, these are all fan letters for me!?
This one says "To Yukiho-chan"

I told I'd show you around the office after I introduced you!
I just couldn't hold back. It was a mess, like I thought.

Kotori-san, who is this?

Let me introduce you now. She's going to be part of 765 Pro as of today. Akizuki Ritsuko.
I'm Akizuki Ritsuko. 18 years old. I'll try my best while working as an idol! Nice to meet you all!
Eeee!!!
