When the Editor-in-Chief of a monthly manga magazine offers Kazuki a chance to become a professional manga artist, a fierce competition ensues between him and Eimi to see who is more fit for the job. Later, Mizuki wonders if there is room for her in Kazuki's busy life, while Kazuki is devastated after he sees Taishi embrace Mizuki. Is Kazuki in danger of losing Mizuki forever?

Kazuki Sendoh
A college freshman who failed to get into the arts college he was hoping for. Kazuki is still determined to become an artist.

Taishi Kuhonbutsu
A mutual friend of Kazuki's and Mizuki's, Taishi brings them to a doujinshi exhibition, or 'Comic Party' (a.k.a. 'ComiPa').

Mizuki Takase
Kazuki's girlfriend - beginning to have serious doubts about Kazuki's earning potential ...

Sekihiko Inui
Much like the characters in his series Comic Party, Sekihiko Inui got his start drawing doujinshi (self-published comics), and still continues to draw to this day under the doujinshi circle name Mix-ism.

Even as Comic Party continues to run in the monthly magazine, Dengeki Daioh, he has begun his first original series (Comic Party is derived from a videogame/anime series): Fantasism, which appears in the magazine Shonen Ace Momogumi.
