Episode 2: Dumb and Smart

Takagi explains that Mashiro’s strengths extend beyond schoolwork, and says Azuki has a comparable intelligence that draws people to her. Mashiro fears his parents will reject manga because he thinks his uncle took his own life, but his mother corrects that belief while still resisting his choice; his father and grandfather support him. His grandfather then gives him the apartment that belonged to his dead uncle, and Mashiro takes Takagi there.
