Aired on January 21, 2012
16
Aoki requests Nakai to illustrate her new manga, but he refuses unless she dates him, causing her to slap him in anger. She then searches for an artist capable of drawing sufficient panty shots to give her work a shonen feel, yet fails to find a suitable candidate. Eventually, Fukuda offers his assistance because his manga, Kiyoshi Knight, is successful due to his skill in this area. Although Aoki is reluctant to accept his help, she has no other choice and agrees to his offer under the circumstances.
