20

Mashiro and Takagi plan to conclude Reversi, while Hiramaru’s anime is greenlit and Aoki’s series is cancelled. To cheer her up, Hiramaru invites Aoki to an amusement park to propose, with Yoshida deciding to assist after recalling their first meeting. Hiramaru loses his ring on the ferris wheel, but Aoki gives him another chance, leading to an unconventional proposal and her acceptance. Meanwhile, Reversi dominates Zombie Gun in rankings, yet Zombie Gun sees a surge in volume sales. Ashirogi Muto and Hattori analyze this trend, noting Reversi’s content is difficult for children and women. At the Tezuka-Akatsuka (2017) Prize Party, voice actress Ririka Kitami attempts to flirt with Mashiro but stops upon learning about Azuki. Nizuma praises their ranking success but predicts volume sales parity, motivating the team. Finally, producer Futoshi Tanabe approaches them.
