Just as Shizuo Oguro is finally about to make his longed-for debut as a professional manga artist... his editor quits. Although Shizuo's dreams are shattered, he has a shot at redemption: all he has to do is get the new editor to publish him. But how can a 42-year-old, slacker guy convince a 23-year-old, no-nonsense woman to give him a chance? Is it time for Shizuo to finally give it his all?
