Continuing from the last volume, Higashimura is now a graduate. Like other university graduates, she also faces the hurdle to get a job. This is where we see her struggles in achieving her ambition to be a published mangaka after all that she did or didn't do in her university before. The more one reads the more one can understand why Sensei is such an important part of her life.

Empat tahun berlalu secepat laju anak panah, dan tibalah hari kelulusan Hayashi. Setelah melalui berbagai drama mencari kerja dan terpaksa mulau LDRan dengan kekasihnya di Kanazawa, Hayashi mulai mengambil langkah awalnya untuk meraih cita-cita menjadi seorang shoujo mangaka. Sementara itu, ia bekerja di perusahaan telekomunikasi rujukan bapaknya dan menjadi asisten pengajar di tempat kursus lukisnya dulu.

Hidaka-sensei yang tidak pernah mengetahui cita-cita Hayashi yang sesungguhnya terus mengajak Hayashi untuk mengumpulkan lukisan agar dapat mengadakan pameran bersama kelak. Hayashi dihadapkan pada dilema antara mengusahakan impiannya sebagai mangaka atau mengikuti ajakan gurunya. Ia merasa tidak mampu menolak ajakan Hidaka-sensei selama ia terus bertatap muka dengan beliau. Karena itu, ia berniat untuk mengumpulkan uang sebanyak-banyaknya agar bisa pindah dari kampung halamannya untuk mengabdikan diri pada cita-citanya yang sesungguhnya.
