Wow! 00:22.180 --> 00:23.350 Nico, your voice. 00:23.350 --> 00:24.640 U.M.? 00:24.640 --> 00:25.980 "Uron Mirage." 00:25.980 --> 00:30.560 A battle fantasy manga about sword-wielding high school boys who defeat monsters. 00:30.560 --> 00:32.110 I WONDER ABOUT THAT. 00:30.810 --> 00:33.360 It has vague worldbuilding, cool-sounding dialogue, 00:32.110 --> 00:33.360 NO ONE WOULD UNDERSTAND, ANYWAY. 00:33.360 --> 00:35.010 IT'S NOT BAD, BUT ALSO NOT GOOD. 00:33.360 --> 00:37.280 obscure plot developments, and an overall poorly defined structure. 00:37.280 --> 00:39.450 It's piqued interest because of its loose ends. 00:39.450 --> 00:43.160 Additionally, the creator announced approval for fan fiction. 00:43.160 --> 00:47.120 This has given more fuel to the otaku community, and it has become the hottest series now. 00:47.540 --> 00:51.040 So this is Utsuro, and this one is Oboro? 00:51.040 --> 00:52.380 They're so handsome! 00:52.380 --> 00:54.460 I said your voice is too loud! 00:54.800 --> 00:56.090 Utsu x Obo, huh? 00:56.510 --> 00:59.800 Kuku, you're getting better and better at this, aren't you? 00:59.800 --> 01:03.390 I've been getting into it ever since I started posting on Chitter. 01:03.680 --> 01:04.600 Chitter? 01:05.270 --> 01:09.270 Hold on a sec. I've already seen most of the Utsu x Obo fanart on Chitter. 01:09.270 --> 01:10.400 It's my daily routine. 01:10.400 --> 01:13.150 I'll even leave comments on my favorite fan artist's posts. 01:13.150 --> 01:15.190 How many followers do you have? 01:15.190 --> 01:16.860 Maybe about 10,000 followers? 01:17.320 --> 01:20.860 Wait, what? A popular fan artist? With thousands of followers? 01:21.200 --> 01:23.870 And this one went pretty viral. 01:24.660 --> 01:27.200 - No way, this is amazing! - Your voice is too damn loud! 01:24.660 --> 01:28.160 Oh, then I've seen it. I've probably seen that artwork. 01:27.200 --> 01:29.210 - You really drew this? - He's so hot! 01:28.160 --> 01:31.630 I've seen every single piece of viral Utsu x Obo fanart. 01:29.210 --> 01:30.790 So amazing! 01:32.290 --> 01:35.800 If she has 10k followers, that narrows it down a lot. 01:36.550 --> 01:38.880 Wait, is she... 01:39.380 --> 01:41.720 Is she my current most favorite fan artist? 01:43.550 --> 01:45.390 It's considered rude to expose an artist. 01:46.020 --> 01:50.350 Otakus on social media resent having their lives exposed. 01:50.440 --> 01:53.860 I, too, don't want people to know that I'm actually DengekiMelon. 01:54.190 --> 01:55.940 Any further prying shall be forbidden. 01:55.940 --> 01:58.530 Ms. Makuwa, why are you just standing there? 01:58.780 --> 02:01.360 It's nothing! I just came here to grab some paperwork! 02:01.360 --> 02:03.160 Nothing suspicious here! 02:03.160 --> 02:05.330 We weren't thinking anything like that. 02:09.910 --> 02:12.290 You girls hurry on home, okay? 02:12.290 --> 02:13.170 Okay. 02:13.170 --> 02:14.420 Have a nice day! 02:15.920 --> 02:17.300 Oh, Ms. Makuwa. 02:18.630 --> 02:20.170 Bye, Ms. Makuwa. 02:20.170 --> 02:21.680 Yes, have a good day. 02:23.050 --> 02:25.010 She's my favorite fan artist. 02:25.760 --> 02:30.890 Ureshino is "Haimi@SlightlyOutOfReach." 04:03.070 --> 04:08.530 MY STUDENT IS MY FAVORITE FAN ARTIST 04:11.330 --> 04:12.330 O' God! 04:14.290 --> 04:17.580 Haimi's growth as an artist has really been awe-inspiring. 04:18.250 --> 04:21.300 As a long-time fan who's followed her since her single-digit follower days, 04:21.300 --> 04:23.550 I feel something akin to parental pride. 04:23.920 --> 04:27.090 First, it looks like she studied on how to properly apply highlights. 04:27.090 --> 04:29.010 And not just the vibrancy of the skin tone, 04:29.010 --> 04:32.970 but there's been a big change on how the artwork just appears brighter throughout. 04:33.180 --> 04:34.730 Maybe she got used to the thick-line technique, 04:34.730 --> 04:37.350 but since the unnecessary lines have decreased, she can give attention 04:37.350 --> 04:40.520 to those brawny hands and flushed cheeks so the finished piece looks livelier than ever. 04:40.520 --> 04:42.480 A wonderful example of how an artist can move you. 04:42.480 --> 04:45.950 Even the vivid spikiness of Utsuro's hair and facial expression shows his sensitive characteristics. 04:45.950 --> 04:47.610 Ever since the Recapturing Chaos Arc, she utilized cooler colors 04:47.610 --> 04:49.110 on his shadow and eyes to show that underlying sadness. 04:49.110 --> 04:50.740 It's the result of Haimi's sharp investigative senses and observation. 04:50.740 --> 04:52.370 Oh, I only have gratitude to look upon such beautiful artwork. 04:52.950 --> 04:54.500 And above all else... 04:54.700 --> 04:56.870 The interpretation of the characters' relationship. 04:58.290 --> 05:00.710 Utsuro and Oboro met through Kasumi. 05:00.710 --> 05:03.460 They specialized in different things, so they didn't really interact much. 05:03.460 --> 05:06.630 Their feelings toward Kasumi seemed more important at the time. 05:06.630 --> 05:10.510 That's when lightning struck for the fanbase on Chapter 35, the training camp. 05:10.640 --> 05:13.720 Both of them were secretly keeping track of each other's rank within the school. 05:13.720 --> 05:15.520 The fan base started getting excited. 05:15.520 --> 05:18.480 Mainly because Oboro is a solitary character who possesses strong abilities. 05:18.480 --> 05:21.150 For someone like that to keep track of another person's ranking... 05:21.730 --> 05:25.030 How special must Utsuro be to him? 05:25.320 --> 05:29.490 She probably had Chapter 57 in mind when Oboro accidentally whispered to Sagiri, 05:29.490 --> 05:31.780 "My heart and mind are absent... But people are still here." 05:31.780 --> 05:33.410 That must be the influence. 05:33.410 --> 05:35.330 For a stoic like Oboro, he clearly said too much. 05:35.330 --> 05:38.500 If you consider the previous context, he's obviously talking about Utsuro. 05:38.580 --> 05:41.290 The moment the usually cool-headed Oboro pours out a single drop of emotion... 05:41.630 --> 05:44.300 It's so... precious. 05:45.170 --> 05:48.880 And then, another wonderful thing about Haimi... 05:49.050 --> 05:51.010 Oboro's complicated feelings 05:51.010 --> 05:53.890 are expressed through the scarf that he received from Sagiri. 05:54.310 --> 05:56.850 And that pose where his back is toward us, but his eyes being on Utsuro 05:56.850 --> 05:59.100 just seems like something that was intentional or not intentional. 05:59.730 --> 06:02.770 Just by taking one glance at this, you can see how perfectly their relationship is captured. 06:02.770 --> 06:06.360 I don't think there's any other illustration out there that captures it like that. 06:06.530 --> 06:10.740 I'm sure a lot of illustrations that were affected by this one will be posted by early next week. 06:11.280 --> 06:12.820 I can't wait! 06:14.070 --> 06:17.950 Oh, I can live again! Thank you so much, Kukumi Ureshino! 06:18.250 --> 06:20.250 Did you just call me? 06:20.540 --> 06:21.960 I've turned into Hantengu! 06:23.460 --> 06:24.500 Ms. Makuwa? 06:26.050 --> 06:30.220 O' Goddess! My Goddess hath graced me with thine presence yonder! 06:32.090 --> 06:34.850 U-Ureshino, did you need me for something? 06:34.970 --> 06:38.220 Oh, yes. I wrote up the draft for the Health Newsletter. 06:38.220 --> 06:40.850 Could you please check it and give permission to make copies? 06:40.850 --> 06:42.650 I added an illustration, so please take a... 06:42.650 --> 06:45.020 Oh no, I could never, I am not worthy. 06:45.020 --> 06:45.980 Ms. Makuwa? 06:46.820 --> 06:50.190 Oh, no! I reverted back to my otaku habits in the presence of my favorite fan artist! 06:50.190 --> 06:51.610 I cannot let her notice. 06:51.610 --> 06:54.030 I cannot let my Goddess acknowledge my meager existence! 06:54.280 --> 06:57.490 Oh, great work. All right, let me see here. 06:57.740 --> 07:00.960 I am a teacher! Let's just get back to that, and... 06:59.370 --> 07:01.370 I WON'T GO EASY ON YOU! 07:02.250 --> 07:03.420 So precious! 07:04.080 --> 07:05.500 Wh-What is? 07:05.630 --> 07:08.630 Oh, no, it's nothing. Nothing at all. 07:08.630 --> 07:13.340 Let's see, this is drawn really well, huh? 07:13.550 --> 07:16.100 That was close, but I need to hurry and end this conversation. 07:16.100 --> 07:17.560 If she stays here any longer... 07:17.560 --> 07:20.640 Do you like drawing things like this? 07:20.640 --> 07:24.520 Oh no, my mouth is moving on its own because I wish to talk to my Goddess about art! 07:25.020 --> 07:28.400 Yes! I love manga so much! I'm a super-otaku for it! 07:28.730 --> 07:30.030 You'd call yourself that, huh? 07:30.030 --> 07:32.650 So, um, do you like reading manga, Ms. Makuwa? 07:32.650 --> 07:33.650 Not at all! 07:34.110 --> 07:35.660 I'm not familiar with it at all! 07:35.660 --> 07:36.620 I don't watch any anime, 07:36.620 --> 07:39.950 and I really don't know anything about those, um, voice... actors? I'm sorry! 07:39.950 --> 07:42.040 B-But Ms. Makuwa... 07:42.370 --> 07:46.080 Okay, so I thought Nakime had kidnapped me... 07:46.080 --> 07:48.750 You quoted something from a manga. 07:48.750 --> 07:50.920 Oh, well, I guess I read a little bit. 07:50.920 --> 07:52.300 Crap, my otakuness is leaking out! 07:52.420 --> 07:54.260 Oh, these manga books... 07:54.380 --> 07:56.260 Isn't that "Uron Mirage"? 07:56.260 --> 07:58.220 Ohh, yes, I've been borrowing those. 07:58.220 --> 07:59.930 This is starting to hurt. 07:59.930 --> 08:04.060 I really love U.M.!

Something like that? 08:11.030 --> 08:13.740 The Candidate Exam Arc? I love that arc, too! 08:14.070 --> 08:15.400 I don't really remember it, though. 08:15.400 --> 08:19.830 The Candidate Exam Arc is when Oboro enters the story, so it's a really big deal! 08:19.990 --> 08:22.620 And that's when the story blah blah characters, blah blah blah. 08:24.540 --> 08:26.920 I feel like I'm looking at myself and it's so cringey! 08:29.000 --> 08:31.590 I'm so sorry, I got carried away. 08:31.880 --> 08:33.960 I almost forgot about this. 08:34.760 --> 08:39.600 You dropped this U.M. event-limited merchandise in the classroom. 08:39.600 --> 08:42.890 That's a ticking time bomb if I ever saw one.
