Ep. 6: Mashiro and Takagi navigate creative differences while preparing for the Super Leaders Fest.
Mashiro persuades Takagi to handle their Super Leaders Fest entry so he can focus on Rabuta & Peace. After overcoming writer's block, he chooses a love story theme. At Yueisha's Annual New Years Day party in 2015, it is revealed that all participants are submitting love stories, with Fukuda joining only due to peer pressure. Mashiro seeks Azuki's input for his manga, which draws from their mutual feelings. A conflict arises between Mashiro and Takagi regarding their drifting apart and separate projects. Shiratori quits as an assistant to pursue serialization for Rabuta & Peace, causing Takagi to withdraw from the studio and discuss PCP with Hattori. Takagi later returns, explaining his absence was to teach Shiratori independence since Rabuta & Peace is his work. Ashirogi Muto enter together, placing 4th, and reflect that the experience fostered personal growth.
