It's not easy to become and live as a mangaka, as Mashiro knows from his late uncle. At his 9th grade, while trying to keep up with reality, school and then normal job, he left his notebook with a sketch of Azuki, a girl he likes. Tamaki, a first rate student found it and trying to convince Mashiro to draw a manga with his story. Mashiro doesn't like the idea and tries to decline. Tamaki, however, tries to stick to dream and found out that Azuki also wants to be a voice actress and already got a good reply from a production company. Tamaki, then, brought Mashiro to her house and telling her his dream.... Mashiro then tells her that he will write a manga with Tamaki and will ask Azuki to voice their anime. Out of confusion, Mashiro asks her if the dreams become reality, will she marry him? She says yes, only if their dreams become true, and not otherwise!! Now, lives of wannabe mangakas begin!!!

The music is more forceful than necessary, but makes up for it by breaking out the very best of the series' musical themes—Hitomi's delicate arias, the spaghetti western opener, a goodly measure of chanting and grunting—and by manipulating the sound design in inventive ways; matching rhythms of dialogue with the editing and choreographing a scene of devastation to the careless humming of the Claw.

ADR director Liam O'Brien's dub is the same impressive work that it has always been, with David Vincent's Van leading a cast that knows how to translate roles over while placing their own distinctive stamp on them. Kudos go to Kirk Thornton for the almost frightening aplomb with which he nails the Claw's mix of civility and sociopathic lack of empathy. Overall, a work that all but the strictest of dub abstainers owes at least a try.
