Chapter 27

It’s Heart Pounding Isn’t It?

TL: PuffyPyjamas .

ED: Daemon .

“Let’s get started then . ”

Charlotte, who seemed to be a little nervous, presented a manga to me . The reason she is so nervous is probably because our faces are relatively close to each other . While two people try to read a manga together, it is a given that their faces would be close to a certain extent .

To be honest, I am extremely nervous as well . If the face of the person you have a crush on is in the immediate vicinity, I believe it’s natural to have such a reaction . In all honesty, it’s taking my all to maintain my composure and to not let my nervousness show on my face .

“So, what manga did yo—Eh…?”

I was baffled when I saw the manga that she was holding in her hands . If I were being recommended a manga by someone, I thought that it’d be some world-famous works like the pirate manga with the main character wearing a straw-hat, or the manga revolving around ninjas with the main character having a monster sealed inside his body . At least, I expected to be recommended a manga like that . [1]

However, she recommended a manga of less popular genre to me . To be more precise, it’s a genre that doesn’t seem to align with any of the more well-known works . [2]

“Are you surprised?”

Charlotte, who appears to have realized my confusion from my expression, laughs mischievously . What on earth is she planning?

“Aoyagi-kun expected me to recommend a world-famous work, right? At the very least, wasn’t I supposed to recommend a work of a more popular genre?”

Bullseye… What Charlotte just said is precisely what I was thinking .

“Yeah, that’s correct . Why are you—”

“Recommending a manga based around drawing a manga—right?”

I nodded at Charlotte, who stole the words right out of my mouth . The cover of the manga she recommended has an illustration of a boy holding a pen while facing the manuscript at his table . It can be seen that this boy is trying to draw manga, and as the cover picture depicts, it is a story centered around drawing manga .

If I remember correctly, this work was serialized in a popular shounen magazine that was released every Monday . It was a hot topic at the time, so even I, who doesn’t read manga at all, know a little about it .

“If I were to explain in detail, the story will be spoiled, so allow me to give you a brief summary . This is a story of two boys aiming to become mangakas . ” [3]

“What was your intention behind choosing this manga?”

I asked Charlotte, who had just explained the concept of the manga, the reason why she chose this manga in particular . There were several possible reasons .

However, she is the only one who knows the true answer . I wished to know Charlotte’s thoughts rather than about manga itself . Her mentality of ​​taking actions that don’t apply to common sense .

“It’s a secret~”

However, Charlotte just placed her index finger on her lips and winked adorably, dodging the question . After all, this girl is very cute and mischievous . If she does something like this, I can’t ask any further… 

“O-oh, is that so…?”

“Fufu, I’m sorry . Firstly, I would like you to go into it without any prior prejudice . Then, I will explain why I recommended this manga to Aoyagi-kun . ”

It seems that she has her own plans this time around . In that case, I will obediently leave it to her .

“—Somehow, I’m a little nervous . ”

When I flipped the cover, Charlotte shyly muttered . I looked at her, and her cheeks were dyed red . However, her face was bright and it seemed she was having fun .

I wondered if I could concentrate on the manga in this situation, but I started reading manga with Charlotte without any further consideration .

TN:

I know you guys know this, but the manga mentioned are One Piece and Naruto respectively . ‘Well-known works’ here refers to the actual manga, while the ‘genre’ is basically how shounen or action are comparatively more popular than, say, slice-of-life, which is the main genre of the manga that Charlotte brought . Again, the manga here is ‘Bakuman’, a pretty solid read if I do say so myself .
