Morning~
...od morning.
Makihara-san~
Let's eat...
lunch togeth-...
...
p2
Hah...
I, Hanai Ichika,
am probably hated by my co-worker.
Let out all your feelings as loud as you can!
p3
Makihara-san is the only co-worker
Age 26
Age 25Autumn 2025
Entrance Ceremony
Tentative Offer - Hanai Ichika-sama
Tentative Offer - Makihara Kotoha-samawho joined the company the same time I did.
I wanna be friends with her!
We're almost the same age, after all.
So I've always tried to close the distance between us,
but this whole time,
for whatever reason,
she keeps on avoiding me.
p4
Whyyyy!?
Uwooooah!
I
love bands
and live shows.
p5
Whether it's to forget about the bad stuff that happened during the day
or whether it's because I enjoy shouting and rioting in a large crowd,
I don't really know for sure...
Waaah!
But regardless,
I love live shows.
Oh.
A "lift"!
p6
A lift is where
one spectator is lifted up by another spectator.
Woah~
Go for it~
Wah~
*This is usually followed by them being rolled towards the stage on a sea of spectators.
I'm too scared to do it myself, though...
I don't wanna get hurt.
Fu.
I do like seeing them, though.
They give me that feeling of "they really exist!"
p7
DIIIIIIE!
...
Huh!?
p8
...Eh? Makihara-san...
Eh... That's Makihara-san, isn't it?
Seriously?
Die!
Does she like Teagun too?
Or rather, she's the type of does lifts?
Seriously?
Fwah
p9
Makihara-san.
Makihara-san!
...!
Woah.
That's not a very happy expression.
p10
Let's see. What to pick. Maybe I'll get a drink?
Do you want anything to drink?
...
p11
...Oolong tea.
Okay~
...But still, Makihara-san!
I had no idea you loved Teagun!
...
No... I don't really...
Eeh~?
That t-shirt...
is from the lottery for the limited first edition of their 3rd album "Change", isn't it?
!!
p12
That towel is the variant color of their tour towel that's exclusive to their fanclub.
Those rubber bands are merch from the disaster relief charity live from five years ago.
Ah, that pick on the back of your phone was exclusively from their collab with T*wer Records last year...
Quite the veteran, aren't you?
Th-That's enough...
Please stop...
You're embarrassing me...
...Hanai-san,
have you
liked Teagun all this time too?
p13
I love them!
No lie!
Not so loud.
And not just Teagun.
I love live shows a lot...
Alright.
I wasn't able to get the limited first edition back then~
It's being resold for 20k these days...
Uwah...
Unforgiveable.
Ah, in that case~
Ah!
p14
Should we order some more drinks?
Eh? Sure.
Did you want another oolong tea?
No...
...
I'll have an oolong highball.
Don't give me that look.
Good work today.
Same to you~!
p15
I think I drank a little too much~
That was fun.
I think she's my first friend who like Teagun too.
Ah.
Oh crap.
I forgot to ask for her LIME details.
...
Fu
I'm kinda looking forward
to going to work on Monday.
p16
Ah.
Makihara-san~
How about next time...
...
...Seriously, why!?
Girls' Locker Room
...Maybe she doesn't want people to think we're friends at work?
p17
And here I was thinking... about inviting her to the next live show...
Huh?
...? What's this?
A bag?
I wasn't able to get the limited first edition...
Ah!
From back then...
Guess it's from Makihara-san.
LIME ID is Ma77560
Distance Tour Live Performance
p18
Ah, there you are!
Makky!
...
Stop calling me that.
Eh~?
p20
Ha~ Hah Hah
Ah~
Mic check, mic check.
Uwah~...!
The venue today is huge...!
It can apparently fit 2000 people.
Woah...
Thank you, Hanai-san...
Failed to get a ticket
Ahaha. It's fine.
It's a miracle I managed to get them this time too.
Good thing it came with two of them~
Even so,
p21
thank you.
Hey, Makky.
Why is it
you don't really talk to me at work?
p22
We're desk neighbors, right?
I wanna talk with you more, Makky...
Everyone at work
are good people too.
...I see.
Even so,
I try to avoid talking to people all that much.
Whether they're good or bad
has nothing to do with it.
Eh?
p23
I
like girls.
p24
...
Eh...
At my last company,
that... led to a lot of issues and I ended up quitting.
That's why I avoid people...
p25
Especially younger women
like you, Hanai-san.
Ng... R-Right.
...I can't really explain it well.
Sorry.
N-No, it's fine~ Why are you apologising, Makky?
Don't let it bother you!
But it does bother me.
Talking about something like this
before a live show...
p26
Sorry.
She likes girls...
I see... I see.
...
Wait, so that's why she was avoiding me?
She didn't really have...
to do that...
!
...
p27
Awkward...
Huh?
She's...
She's gone.
Hanai-san.
Excuse me.
Eh?
Makky?
You guys ready to go!?
Woooah
*Makihara has a habit of going to the front by herself when she gets excited.
G-Geez~!
Am I gonna even be able to find her once the show's over?
There's a lot of people today.
...Ah.
But...
p28
Up until now,
she never went up to the front
without telling me...
Not until now...
What do I do...?
Here comes
the second half!
Eh?
A-Aah! Th-
The second half is starting!
Wah~
Wooah~
p29
...!
p30
Ah~
Why
did I tell her?
Hanai-san
looked really creeped out.
It does bother me.
What's more,
I had to go and say that.
And then
I went up to the front on my own...
I'm always
like this.
Even though she's the first friend
p31
I made when I joined the company...
Makky!
Let's
combine!
...
Huh?
p32
Heavy.
So
heavy...
Could you stop calling me heavy!?
That goes without saying!
Uwooooah
Hey, Makky!
I'm... pretty dumb,
so I don't
know much about "that kind of thing".
p33
But even so, I don't want
to stop going to live shows
with you, Makky.
I don't want that!!
Hey...
N-No, um... You don't want that...
You sound like a kid.
Ng
S-So
I don't know if this is the right choice,
but...
p34
Don't go disappearing
on your own anymore!
She's so selfish.
Hanai-san.
You're too loud.
...But
...
thanks.
p35
I
love bands
and live shows.
There are people who just stand around
while others pump their fists in the air while crying
shouting out loudly.
That's because...
p36-37
at least while you're here,
Go for it,
Makky!
anyone
can feel
just a little bit of a freedom.
p38
That is surely
what "ties us together".
That's what I want to believe.
p39
Hmm~?
The photo for this property... The color temperature's off and the shutter's closed...
Must've been the newbie's work~
Newbie Hayashi-san
p40
Are you the one who took the photo for this property,
Hayashi-san?
Y-Yes.
Erm... Please make sure to open the shutters when taking photos indoors.
Right!
Also, the processing on the photo... The color temperature is, um... off, so please amend it.
Right!
...I-I'm sorry...
Ng...
U-Um...
Here
is a manual we made!
Eh?
I-If there's anything you don't understand, let me know.
You can even... ask me over chat if you want.
Ah...
Right!
p41
Thank you very much!
!
S-Sure!
Hey there!
!
...
...What is it?
p42
Nothing~?
You're so kind, Makky-paisen.
Shut up and do your job.
So, about the next live show...
