Volume 9

Translation

 * Whenever my manga artist friends and I meet up to hang out at a pub, we always end up having passionate discussions about manga wether there's any alcohol involved or not.


 * Sometimes we'd get so into our discussions that we'd miss the last train, and you might think to yourself about how lame we are as adults, but I tell you, hearing everyone's passionate opinions about "the thing I want to draw!!" really gets me hyped.


 * In this volume, one of those extremely passionate artists, Sir Taishi Mori, drew the omake manga for us. Wooo!! (Rejoice)
