Doujin Work #03 — In Prostitution and Doujins, You’re Selling Yourself
July 17th, 2007
Najimi’s first sale!
Impressions:
Kind of a weak episode honestly. There was some humor from the deliberate misunderstanding of Najimi whoring herself out, but most of the stuff at the convention was fairly trite. Our nameless male is just a little too boring and normal for him to be a good foil against Najimi. Still, I can’t get the OP or ED out of my head. I think I have a weakness for dancing in EDs.
Najimi is on the train with Justice plotting once again about how to turn doujins into money. He starts teasing her and tells her that it’s all about love. She seems to get the message that she needs to understand love in order to master doujinshi.
Over at the campus, Justice and Tsuyuri are waiting for Najimi. She comes floating in saying that it’s done. Tsuyuri misunderstands what she’s talking about, and they get into a conversation where Najimi is talking about her doujin (Love Typhoon) while Justice and Tsuyuri are talking about Najimi selling herself and getting pregnant. Eventually it turns to price, which Najimi blurts out, prompting steam from Justice and a slap from Tsuyuri.
Over at Tsuyuri’s, Tsuyuri is looking at Najimi’s virgin attempt at a doujin. She says that it’s okay, but is curious about the name on it. Najimi says that it’s her pen name… Beauty Love.
At the next convention, Najimi’s burning spirit has awakened and she’s ready to sell out. Justice is helping her set up, but is somewhat ‘amazed’ by her manga and can’t hold back his sarcasm. Sora tries to pick up a copy, but can’t bring herself to touch it.
Later, despite the lines on either side, nobody is checking out Najimi at all, except for one girl (chesty from the OP) who looks through it and smirks at poor Najimi. Their fighting spirits awaken, but we cut over to Justice and Sora who are selling out his group’s manga without problems.
Back with poor Najimi, she realizes that at this rate, she’s going to lose money on this instead of earn it. The guy she met the previous day swings by and picks up a copy of her manga to check it out. She’s embarrassed since he does sort of know her. He asks her about it, and she turns super embarrassed before yelling out that he’s sexually harassing her. The screams of sekuhara bring over all the nearby otaku who grab copies of her manga, but are all shocked by it.
He says that he likes her manga, and she’s so overjoyed that she hugs him. All the other otaku offer to buy copies if they can be hugged too, but Tsuyuri scares them away. The guy feels a hand on his shoulder once Najimi disentagled from him, and he turns to face a wrathful Justice, angered at someone else being with Najimi.
