Koogy’s manga underperforms in the Golden Future Cup, positioning Mashiro and Takagi, Fukuda, and Nakai and Aoki as leading candidates. An unprecedented two-way tie occurs, with Fukuda and Ashirogi Muto both securing first place. Azuki contacts Takagi to express gratitude for his support of Mashiro and to encourage his manga career, yet she feels too embarrassed to congratulate Mashiro directly.
