Editor Kyoka Izumi is having a meeting with Rohan Kishibe at a cafe when she proudly tells him that her new manga artist, Mika Nishion, has had a million-copy hit. However, Rohan criticizes her, saying "something's not right," and leaves the room. In reality, she has only ever met Mika through her brother, Soushi, and has no idea how she draws her manga. Driven by anxiety, she goes to the Nishion residence, but when Mika appears, she doesn't respond to her attempts to talk to her; for some reason, only her brother answers...
