To use our company's order request site, you must first elect an occupation for the Humagear.
First time having a proper go at this!
The S-Class Plan allows the client to customise a variety of features such as the face and height.
Oh! I made his face all weird...!
If you find that excessive, a recommendation plan is provided.
Oi, G-Pen! Enough daydreaming over that, get back to work already!
O-ok!
President, it's about time.
I even brought a signature shikishi*!

President Aruto, we're here for business today.
It's fine isn't it?
I grew up with Ishizumi Chouichiro-sensei's manga!
Cumulative copies sold: 1 million.
A frontline author in the realm of shounen manga, correct?
Can you even call this a "house"?
Good morning! I'm the President of Hiden Intelligence-
Sure thing. Bring it in.
Thank you for your recent order for a mangaka assistant Humagear!
It's Perfuman Palace!
I watch the anime every week!
President Aruto, please don't forget your business duties.
O-of course...
With that in mind, I'll begin the boot-up process.
Take off, toward a dream.
The A.I. enabled humanoid robots called Humagears have begun a new era of workplace support.
As for the young president of our A.I. Technologies Enterprise...
To protect the dreams of many, he leaps forth!
Episode 5 His Way of Passionate Manga
Horobi~
I really want one of them Progrise Keys too!
Our objective is the destruction of humanity.
To that end, the Zetsumerise Keys come first.
We have to continue collecting post-combat data to revive the Ark.
Once linked to the Ark, we can cause every single Humagear to go berserk in an instant.
We have another Humagear gaining self-awareness.
Jin, it's another friend of yours.
Sensei, aren't you going to draw?
You're still here, President-san?
Go home already.
"It's the scent of evil...woof!"
I'm a HUUUUGE fan of Perfuman Sword!
I ain't drawing anymore.
I got A.I.s doing it all anyway.
Their lineart is pinpoint accurate, plus they never get tired.
You seem most practical, Sensei.
So that's why your artstyle changed...
I prefer your old stuff. It was rough, but you could really feel the passion.
"Rough"?
Ahh...no I mean, I just really liked how lively and passionate the art was!
Again?!
This one's been freezing up often recently.
Do you know how much time it took to get this guy to learn everything?
Wait, Sensei-
What is it, G-Pen?
Got a problem?
Nothing? Go do some shopping instead of loitering then.
Sensei, I can't have you mistreating our Humagears.
Why? They're just tools aren't they?
Hiden-san, looks like the batteries are dead in this one. Mind replacing 'em?
Very well.
Good work today.
Hey I gotta ask, Sensei's at least penning the story right?
No, the story comes from a publishing editor of ours.
I also contribute on occasion.
I see...
Hi there, who are you again?
I am an assistant...
That's right!
Ours that is.
Linked to metsuboujinrai.net...
While we're at it...let's steal us a Progrise Key.
Ok?
Oiii, Zero-One!
MetsubouJinrai...
What are you even after?

ATTACHE SHOTGUN
Too slow!
SHOTGUNRISE
Way too close...
Hey, wait up!
We'll need a countermeasure.
Oi, Yaiba! That was way too sudden!
I gotta do something about that shell...!
All the assistants were destroyed?
We will prepare substitute units by tomorrow morning.
Easy for you to say, bring them right now!
Getting them to a high level of art quality takes a lot of time and learning!
Sensei if I may, wouldn't it be best to draw the art yourself for now?
E-even if I did do the character art,
the sudden artstyle change would just confuse readers...
Just get the A.I.s drawing and we're good.
Sensei.
Can you really say you're having fun doing your job like this?
What?
Sir, we've received a complaint from Ishizumi Chouichiro-sama!
You postponed his replacement units didn't you.
It is company policy to dispatch replacement units within 24 hours of the client's order.
He is one of our longest on-going customers.
Plus, he's a celebrity.
If this gets out, trust in our company will plummet.
But Humagears aren't slaves...
...and for lazy people, they just become money-making tools.
Isn't that just your personal bias of him?
That's true, President. Quite rude of you.
You got that, Shesta? Make sure those replacement shipments happen.
Acknowledged.
Let's go.
What a let down that was, seeing Sensei like that...
Right, Izu?
I do not understand what it is you're trying to say, President Aruto.
Even after all that?
Sensei is troubled by the loss of his assistants.
But you see...what's the point if he doesn't have the passion himself anymore?
Rather than looking for help from Humagears, I think he's just looking to slack off...
Internet Search: Passion.
Passion: "When your emotions burn strongly for something."
"Burn strongly"...
President Aruto.
Would it not trouble a passionate person to experience a sudden increase in body temperature?
The thing with that, Izu-
Heating the body...
Examining Terms of Service.
Passion... Passion...
No related terms found.
Sensei, it is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Seine.
Finally even got A.I. seiyuu now huh? Awesome.
That'll make things exciting!
I'm looking to raise her slowly and with care.
Why? A.I.s don't even get tired President Tazawa!
Just get them running then leave 'em till they drop!
Oh, you're Hiden's A.I.
To begin, I apologise for the trouble we have caused, Ishizumi Chouichirou-sama.
Whatever, just get on with it.
They just decided to delay my serialisation for a chapter.
That's my first one in 15-consecutive years you know!
My deepest apologies.
However, there is one thing I wish to confirm.
Ishizumi-sama, are you still in possession of passion?
What?
Ishizumi-sensei...
For our recent ineptitude regarding your late replacements, we apologise profusely...
This may not be much but...
It's been 24 hours. They still not here?
They're currently in transit, so we've come to apologise in advance.
Isn't that correct, President?
Sensei, are you really ok with this?
What is it with you?
That A.I. of yours came to ask weird questions yesterday too.
Izu did...you say?
Oh, here they come, here they come!
Hey...where's the replacements?
Ishizumi Chouichirou-sama's shipment of replacement units has just been officially suspended.
Izu...
What was that!?
Hey, what's with this!?
Izu, do you understand what it is you've done!?
President Aruto, I apologise for infringing the rules.
According to our Terms of Service, even those who don't possess passion can order Humagears.
However, the concept did play a large role in the aspirations of our previous president.
Searching memories.
Passion...
While you may be my presidential secretary...
...you shouldn't be working for my sake alone.
"Help any and all people working with passion in their hearts".
That's what our company should be doing.
President Korenosuke...
Gramps...
Ishizumi-sama, this was my decision alone.
No! This is the decision of Hiden Intelligence's President, Hiden Aruto.
I don't care either way.
Sensei, you're not even writing your own stories anymore are you?
I'm free to do that aren't I?
They still sell despite that.
Selling manga for profit's sake... Is that really good enough?
President...!
I loved the manga you once wrote.
Every week I'd laugh, I'd cry, I'd be given courage...
And that's a part of me even now!
Please put your passion into drawing manga again!
Mangaka have the power to move peoples' hearts. That's an amazing job to have!
If people were to lose their flames of passion...
...then all we'd do is lose to the mechanical diligence of AI.
...It's too late for me.
My passion for drawing manga is already...
Anything but that!

G-Pen, only one guy can put a stop to you...
...and that's me!
FLAMING IMPACT!
What was that?
Sensei, the new chapter was bloody amazing!
Shucks. It's you I'm grateful to really.
You really opened my eyes.
Sensei, your intense artstyle really is the best!
Yes, very passionate.
My new Humagear's doing his best with the backgrounds after all.
Thanks to him, I had the time to come up with a new character!
A new character?
It's not me...?
It's Aruto or nothing...
Come on, this isn't even the right time...
Sensei...
Don't go aiming for the Progrise Keys on your own.
Why? What am I to you Horobi...?
Oh, I gotcha! I'm like one of those assistant guys right?
No...
You're far more precious than that.
Jin...
You... are my son.
