Moritaka Mashiro can draw; Akito Takagi can write. When the two junior-high students reluctantly team up, they set their sights on the impossible: serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump and, someday, an anime. Moritaka confesses to his crush Miho Azuki that if their manga is ever animated, he wants her to voice the heroine and marry him. Talent, obsession, first love and friendship collide as their long climb toward the top begins.

⚠️ Spoilers ahead.
Moritaka and Akito form the pen-name duo Ashirogi Muto and commit fully to becoming manga artists. The tragic story of Moritaka's uncle Kawaguchi Tarou, a former serialized artist who worked himself to death, hardens his resolve. The pair finish their first real manuscript, bring it to the Jump editorial department and meet their editor Hattori. The promise with Azuki stays unspoken face-to-face, sustained only through emails, as the two take their first genuine step toward the pros.
