Tsukuru Niwa ch4-1
p1
From a normal peaceful day... to?
Fwah~
Sweeping is tiring~
Do your best~!!
I gotta do it since Yume-chan's out shopping...
Sure is peaceful...
Hah~
Fwah~
p2
So sleepy~
Monst*r
Who are you?
That's my line!
Er
Erm
p3
Everyone feels differently.
Everyone thinks differently.
Everyone accepts things differently.
...That's why everything is so difficult.
p4
I'm a resident here.
And you are?
Eh? Why? Where's Kuu-san?
Eh...?
You know her, right?
This person.
p5
Ah, Kuu-nee.
In the past, a fan
got really obsessed with her...
I-
I don't know her.
You just said her name, didn't you?
Why are you playing dumb!? I just...
Kya~
p6
Hey, what are you doing?
Could you not touch my onee-chan?
What a hottie!
What are you!?
She's my twin sister, y'know...
p7
Alright, just show me inside already.
Eh... I can't do that...
I can't get through to this girl...
Then I'll let myself in.
Hold it right there!
Yume-chan, go get something to tie her up!!!
Kay~
p8
Are you girls into this kind of thing?
No!
We take stalkers like you to the police!
Huh!?
It's you, isn't it?
The one who got obsessed with Kuu-nee-san and did cruel things to her!
p9
Ah~... You've got it all wrong.
That probably wasn't me.
She undid the ropes herself!?
I'm Sakuno! And this is my account.
Uwah... You're really good...
p10
It's R-18 stuff again~!
Sweet Paradise
Loves intense relationships between women
Brimming with confidence
My art's great, right?
Y-Yes...
I always thought I was the best too.
But when I read Kuu-san's books,
it turned my thinking completely upside down.
So emotional!
So godly!
The drawings, story and production levels... were really wild.
p11
Heh~ She's that good, huh?
You've never read it!?
Showing others is a little...
But just a little should be fine...!
I guess I can show you this godly book!
R-18
Kya~
This is what Jose-san got at ComiPara... the book Kuu-nee-san drew.
With a style like that and an appearance like hers,
she's gonna attract some weird fans.
Attacking her at events,
or riding on the same train as her.
Eep.
They're the worst, right?
p12
And yet, I couldn't do anything.
Th-That sounds like a job for the police...
Even so, I should've been able to do something.
I was always by her side.
I figured that if she didn't say anything,
she didn't want me to say anything either.
We kept in touch like always.
p13
And then, out of nowhere,
she deleted all of her accounts and disappeared.
I lost all contact with her
and was left alone like some fool.
Sakuno-san....
I felt empty.
p14
Working on books while on the phone,
looking forward to event days,Deadline
and laughing at each other's faces was fun.
Though I guess it was only fun for me...
p15
Sakuno-chan.
Kuu-san...!
U-Um. Long time no see...
I mean, erm, I...
p16
...Why did you come here?
Why...
Why did you disappear!?
...I was tired.
of everything that happened back then...!
It's easier to have nothing,
so I cut all of it out.
p17
U-Um, what about... that big lady...?
Jose is part of the family.
She doesn't ask anything of me.
Th-Then... wh-what about me...?
p18
I just wanted someone to look at my work,
but soon I had more and more people expecting the world from me.
A fan showed up uninvited to my house.
I was terrified,
forcing a smile to desperately hide that my body was shaking.
Her twisted gaze
was aimed not at my work, but at me myself.
p19
I became so afraid of people, I couldn't take it.
I think I'll
delete all my socials...
Maybe I should let Sakuno-chan know...?
What would I even say?
I don't wanna make her sad.
I want her to keep making doujins.
Kuu-san, I can hear you~
Ah, sorry.
I was just saying how happy it makes me
that I get to work on doujin with you.
p20
It's because I have you with me
that I can enjoy drawing.
...Thank you.
I'm gonna hang up now.
Ah! Sorry for keeping you up so late!
See you tomorrow!
p21
Sakuno-chan,
could you leave for today?
But...
I just-
I'm sorry.
It's painful having you around right now.
