The first chapter opens with a conversation between the protagonist and the protagonist's friend. The protagonist tells the friend that he has just received a letter from the new editor-in-chief of the magazine where he works. The new editor, he says, is the "essence" of the "career woman" , the person who at the age of fifteen got a "continuing series" and has yet to "show anything for it" . He says that if the protagonist keeps up his current popularity, he'll be able to cancel the youth starts today. He then goes on to say that the plot twists in the last chapter were coming too fast, and that he's worried that the author was feeling the same way. He also says that the part of the job of the professional who writes the manga is to "attain popularity" among the readers. He adds that he doesn't understand why the authors want him to force himself to read the manga. He's drawing the characters he loves in fun situations, and he wants people to read those characters and smile. But he wants to be canceled.
