Episode 25: Yay and Nay

Thirteen series come before the serialization meeting, where the team captains, the editor in chief, and the deputy editor discuss them. Detective Trap and Otter 11, created by newcomer Kazuya Hiramaru, are selected for serialization. Mashiro’s rivals congratulate him and vow to earn serialization so they can compete with him, prompting him to consider both his progress and the distance still ahead. Azuki then calls with congratulations and says their shared dream will come true. Hattori arrives with Miura, who is to become their new editor.
