Now That We Draw Vol. 7

DRAW FAST, DIE YOUNG

Gorgeous gyaru Miyamoto-san and dweeby otaku Uehara-kun bonded over their shared love of manga, and that bond has slowly turned into feelings of love! Since neither one of them can share their feelings, they continue to support each other as they pursue careers as mangaka. With the arrival of spring and a new school year, Uehara-kun discovers his childhood friend (and fellow mangaka) Love-chan has transferred to his school.

Along with Miyamoto-san, the three form a manga appreciation club, collect members, chat on the roof, and enjoy the type of active school life introverted Uehara-kun always dreamed of. But as his social life kicks off, Uehara-kun finds it hard to meet up with his brutally honest editor.
Can his friends give him the push he needs?
