Takagi tries to persuade Mashiro to turn into a mangaka, a manga craftsman, with him, prompting Mashiro's defiance. Mashiro goes home and listens to his mangaka uncle, who had a stand out will before he died. Mashiro is stopped by a telephone call from Takagi, who says that he is going to tell Azuki that Mashiro likes her. Mashiro runs down to Azuki's home to discover Takagi sitting tight for him. When Azuki turns up, Takagi lets her know that he and Mashiro are expecting to be mangaka.

Mashiro then discovers that she needs to be a seiyū, a voice performing artist, and has demonstrated promise in the field. Mashiro, at the end of the day contemplating his uncle, coincidentally proposes to Azuki who acknowledges. In any case, she will just wed him after they accomplish their dreams. Mashiro and Takagi in the wake of sending in a few manga, start a manga series titled Detective Trap. Not long after the series is scratched off, Mashiro and Takagi start their work for their next manga series, Run, Daihatsu Tanto!
