The smaller girl, who
adorably introduced herself as Kimura Chou, surprisingly kept her spider on her head, which still dangled about without a care in the world.
"
-This was field research on my part, as I specialise in horror manga and like to keep my characters' reactions authentic. I'll be in your care."
Field research? Well, that was
one way to get inspiration: A darn good one at that, why hadn't Yatsumi thought of such a thing? Oh right, because 2D is way better. But 2D is just an improved version of 3D, so she supposed that producers and artists had to do the same thing this girl did in the first place. "
That's genius" Yatsumi unknowingly muttered under her breath, thinking she was just speaking internally.
"
Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself," Yatsumi suddenly said, after realising that she must've looked incredibly daft for a moment there. After quickly patting her hair back down, Yatsumi bowed forward and presented herself, "
I'm Tanigawa Yatsumi, I'm a second year. I don't really specialise in any kind of Manga, because I just want to produce magazines!"
Yatsumi immediately perked up, pushing the Clubroom's door wide open and wildly gesturing toward it. "
Well, Kimura-chan, this is the waifu-cave," she said, ushering the younger girl in. The Manga Club looked like a mix between a classroom and an Otaku's dream home. Yatsumi gestured to the large chalkboard at the front of the room, "
we use this to brain-storm ideas and characters for our group project," she explained, "
we do do our own stuff too, but we just need to do at least one group project every semester to keep the club going. Company rules."
Anime posters adorned the club's walls, and on the back wall was a shelf
filled with manga and scale-figurines. Yatsumi lead Chou over as she clarified, "
now all of these have been donated by past club members and some by Manga Pop!, so you have to be very careful with them, but they're free to use." Oh, how she loved Manga Pop! Kimura vowed that she'd either work for them, or make her own magazine which would be just as good.
Now there was desks in the club room, but the room also had soft furniture - specifically, two bright beanbags in front of the bookshelf, one blue, and one red. The actual drawing stations were placed along the walls, facing away from everybody, so people could concentrate. The light table lived in the darkest part of the room, and the inking table was a longer table that sat underneath the window.
Yatsumi's bag still sat on one of the middle tables, as she hadn't even thought about going to her dorm yet. Though she supposed that she
should, because class was due to start soon. She just kind of stared at it for a moment before the action actually kicked in. Scooping up her bag, Yatsumi looked over toward Chou and hastily bowed as she edged back toward the door, "
it was really nice to meet you, but I'm a total airhead and I've gotta go!"
Yatsumi darted out of the club room, calling back, "
I'll see you after school!"
---
Yatsumi crossed the school ground, heading toward the dormitory. Of course, she'd forgotten which dorm she was due in, so Yatsumi was awkwardly trying to locate a scrap bit of paper in the front of her bag as she walked, and of course, stumbled right into the garden because she wasn't paying attention. Maybe she really
was a ditsy anime character.
She didn't know how she did it, but Yatsumi had somehow contorted herself among the branches of the bush, so she was half-sticking out of the bush in the
strangest position. As she squirmed about, trying to escape, she
prayed that no-one could see her.
