Kaoruko Moeta (Pen name: Kaos) is a brand new 4-panel manga artist, trying to get into the business. However, she finds out that her series had gotten the worst survey results. Her editor worries about her wellbeing and suggests that she go live at an all-girls dorm for manga artists.

After Kaos and Koyume start living at the dorm for a while, they all decide to go take a trip into the city together. There, they decide to go to a crepe shop and a huge art store and enjoy their time together.

After her experience at the crepe shop, Kaos creates a new manga storyboard and takes it to Amisawa, but it’s immediately declined because of the shape it’s in. She goes back to the dorm to ask everyone what she did wrong and...

Because of a deadline coming up, Ruki ends up staying up two nights in a row. She ends up going to school in this condition and can’t help but feel sleepy, despite how earnestly she usually tries at school. However, this dazed state she’s in makes her look sexier than usual, causing a stir in class...

Kaos and the other girls end up at the beach, solely because Koyume tells them, “Because it’s summer!” However, Koyume was the only one who brought a swimsuit, because she’s the only one who had the idea of actually having fun at the beach, so she takes them to the rental shop so they can all get swimsuits.

One hot summer night, Kaos spots someone suspicious while she’s in the bath. She looks in that direction again, but no one’s there. Kaos is terrified and heads back to her room with Koyume... But then a mysterious dark shadow chases them from behind!

Koyume lands a serialized series ! Kaos is happy for her but is sad that her own skills aren’t improving. She then decides to help Fuura-senpai with her manga and ends up with surprising results.

Kaos ends up having another storyboard rejected. She thought she finally had something really good, so she’s rather shocked. All the girls back at the dorm try to make her feel better. Meanwhile, all the girls have tests coming up, but will they be okay?

No matter how hard she tries to come up with a new idea, Kaos can’t seem to draw a new storyboard and she descends into the Kaospiral. Meanwhile, Koyume also hasn’t finished her storyboard, so she plans to go out for a change of pace. Kaos is amazed that Koyume has all these ideas that she would never think of so she tries to adopt the Koyumethod herself and goes out with her.

It’s now Christmas season. Kaos, Koyume, and the matron are all busy setting up the Christmas tree. Meanwhile, Ruki keeps walking back and forth in front of the dorm with a grim face for some reason...

The girls receive an occupational survey at school and of course, they all choose “manga artist” as their first choice. However, they’re supposed to write down at least one other option. They talk about what their other options could be, but Tsubasa doesn’t seem to want to do anything else...

Kaos gets her first guest spot! The first part did really well and was popular with readers, but the other girls at the dorm helped her draw it. She has to now draw the second part, but everyone has to leave the dorm so it can be remodeled, so she’s on her own. Kaos feels rather down, when she gets a visit from a rather unexpected visitor...
