Ep. 22: Team Fukuda confronts editors while authors exchange names and reassess their work

22

Team Fukuda arrives at the editorial offices to protest, but the editors dismiss claims that Koogy’s advantage is unfair or his tactics unethical. Consequently, Mashiro resolves to defeat him by creating a superior manga. Fukuda suggests the authors review each other’s names, leading to surprise at their respective skill levels. During the session, Aoki withdraws, asserting her manga is better than the rest. The review concludes with Nizuma noting two works are slightly better than the third without specifying which. Later, Mashiro considers rewriting his name due to the competition. After receiving an email from Miho about her renewed singing and growing confidence, he decides to proceed with the rewrite.
