01x11 - I Am Currently at a Love Hotel

[bunniefuu]

Seriously

I'm melting!

Mind if we rest for a while, Gojo?

Sure.

Welcome.

I've never been

to a comic book cafe before.

Really?

This place is a top-tier one.

The air-conditioning is a real breeze

and they have tons of comic books!

Plus, you can buy some food

and drinks as well!

Can't get any better than this, right?

Yes.

But

This is too close.

And I can stretch my legs, too!

It's amazing!

Gosh.

Nothing beats a flat sheet

for your cushion!

Oh, we've got a menu here.

Where is my potato?

This is really too close.

Why is this room so cramped?

Is it normal for a comic book cafe

to look like this?

Yes. Is something boggling your mind?

Well

Is there anything you want to eat?

MEGA LARGE

Oh, god! What a page she's looking at!

Anyway, I brought this on the way here,

and it's definitely one of

my recommended books, so try reading it!

I, a Very Popular High

School Light Novel Author,

Am Being Bothered

Every Night by a Succubus!

Was that the whole title?

You bet! Boccubus for short!

A slice-of-life, four-panel comic!

Slice-of-life?

Well, like, nothing happens in particular,

but that's where the fun is?

Like a peaceful daily life, you know?

So we're supposed to enjoy the peaceful

daily life the characters live?

Yes, that's right!

Slice-of-life stuff is really soothing,

so I always read it before bed.

This particular title

has the protagonist, Kaname,

write light novels all night long,

so he rarely sleeps at night,

and the succubus,

Cutie Rizu, does her best

in trying to put him to sleep at night.

Boy, am I a sucker for half-pigtails!

Like, my brain automatically

records it as "something cute."

Half-pigtails?

JuJu's hair is also cute, right?

I'd love to do Rizu's pose myself.

She's just too cute!

So lovely!

Her skin is so exposed, huh?

I'll take that into consideration

when choosing my next character.

Well, compared to Prisoner Veronica

Though, I won't actually do her cosplay.

What? Why?

Are you concerned with skin exposure?

The skin? I don't mind that.

No?

I mean, I love Cutie Rizu,

especially with her half-pigtails.

But it just doesn't look right

on me, or something.

She's more suited to someone cute,

so I'm kind of

out of the league, you know?

Now that's a serious look on your face.

Is there something on my face?

Well

I think you would look good in it.

Still a no?

What?

You didn't cosplay as Shion

not because of her petite appearance,

but because of her hair, right?

Yes.

Then why don't we do it?

I mean, you love Cutie Rizu, right?

This will be great, I think.

If you say so, Gojo.

I guess we should do just that.

Okay.

She looked great in Shizuku

and Black Lobelia's costumes,

so I don't think

she needs to worry about it.

By the way, what's a succubus?

I've never heard of it.

-Oh, to put it simply, it's a girl demon.

-And?

She shows lewd dreams to men

and sucks their semen before k*lling them.

You call that "peaceful," miss?

Yes, Gojo?

So this series has gore in it?

Not even a bit!

It's a super peaceful story.

You'll know when you read it.

A murdering demon and peace

I can't connect the dots at all.

"Lullaby."

Hey! Just go to bed already!

It's already three in the morning!

Oh, right! I'll just sing you

a lullaby to make you sleepy!

Sleep

Have a good dream

CLACK

"Chocolate."

Even if you sleep

in school during the day,

being a night owl is bad for your body!

It messes up the autonomic nervous system!

Damn. Talk about a decent argument.

Hey, Succubus.

I'll give you some snacks, so pipe down.

Oh, my! Are you sure? Thanks!

There's milk in it, too! Delicious!

I've got to share this with everyone!

Oh, my. This is so soothing.

She speaks like a boy.

A mega cute archetype, right?

I'll get some more books.

Okay.

Slice-of-life, huh?

Nice.

What?

Hang on.

This series has a deformed art style,

so I can't tell

how the costume actually looks.

There were some parts

I couldn't make out before,

but this one's different!

Her back is completely covered too!

How could I tell what's behind her hair?

I see.

I can't expect to know every detail

of the outfit from every series.

I need to think about it

by myself.

Oh, sh**t! It's already this late!

We've lazed about

to our hearts' content, huh?

Yes, we did. And it was fun.

That's it, then!

Kitagawa

Yes?

Do you mind if we visit the book store?

I could use a copy of Boccubus, too.

You're into it already? You rock!

Where was the book store again?

There's a clothing store here?

Oh, you bought that?

That looks cool and cozy.

Nice jinbei.

Yes!

I bought two!

That fits you like a glove!

Grandpa

I'm

now

in a love hotel.

"Last night."

I bought a swimsuit that looks

like Cutie Rizu's! It's super cute!

I've finished my work, too.

Really?

Anyway, let's do the photo sh**t

for Cutie Rizu in a studio.

The nasty posters in my room won't cut it.

Wait, I've found a studio

that looks like Kaname's room!

And it's close to your house too!

Oh, it's only 5,900 yen! Super cheap!

There's actually a photo studio

near my house, huh?

Swooped a slot just now!

Meet up at the station tomorrow?

Okay.

There's a photo studio here?

Looks like it.

We have to pay in advance,

so I'll do it first.

It's Room 303.

What?

Room 303?

Here it is.

Oh, my gosh!

The bed is so huge! Awesome!

Isn't it larger than a double bed?

A popular light novel author

must have a bed this large, right?

It's so big and simple,

just suits the vibe of Kaname's room!

A vibrator right at the bedside?

We really are in a love hotel, huh?

It is what it is, I guess.

What's wrong, Gojo?

Did you just say "love hotel"?

Yes, you heard me!

I didn't know!

Why are we in a love hotel

and not in a studio?

You know, last night,

I found a big bed

just like in Kaname's room.

And they said it's okay to do

a photo sh**t here, so this got to be it!

But right when I swooped a slot,

it turned out to be a love hotel!

I just realized it after seeing

the front entrance!

I messed up. It's sad.

I've got to read

the description properly next time!

She has that quality about her!

But it's a nice room considering, right?

It feels so spacious,

just like Kaname's room.

I

I just have to think that it's

Not a studio, damn it!

I can't do something

so convenient like that!

This whole room has the adult atmosphere

that the abandoned hospital studio

didn't have.

I can't! My eyes are spinning like crazy!

All I can think of

when I'm alone with Kitagawa

in a love hotel

Anyway,

I guess I'm getting curious

about love hotels too.

I mean, those cosplayers having

a girls' party at a love hotel looks fun.

Girls' party at a love hotel?

Yes. Like this.

There's a plan for everyone

to cosplay and stay in the hotel.

You're right.

They look like they're having fun.

Right?

Is that all bread underneath?

Yes. Isn't there some here as well?

Didn't you like sweet stuff?

I would grab some sweets

sometimes when working these days.

Chocolate is good

for when you're using your brain.

Kaname also used to eat some.

Oh, so that's why

he picked chocolates as snacks.

I guess I should order some.

Sorry for the trouble.

Wait, I'm not!

Now that's an exquisite retort.

Even if you messed up,

this is no place for students.

Well, I'm sure this is no place

for normal people.

We are, though!

My bad! I guess it's just too much, huh?

All right.

-I'll go and get changed.

-But why?

I mean, we're here to do some cosplaying,

so won't actually doing nothing

be bad for the money?

That's

The bathroom is awesome!

It's so luxurious!

We can do jacuzzi and bubble bath here!

Want to take a bath with me?

Just kidding!

Make yourself at home back there!

My goodness.

I cannot make myself at home!

Sure, we can't just put

6,000 yen to waste.

But still

Kitagawa

How can she

In this situation

I guess I'll just watch some TV.

It might take my mind off things a little.

This is a love hotel.

No way

I can't watch more!

-Gojo!

-I'm sorry!

What the heck?

It's so cute, I can't stop smiling!

I've seen the drawing,

but nothing beats the real deal!

Really?

It's so brilliant!

You're really a genius, to put it mildly!

These pearl buttons are super cute, too!

The back of the collar is heart-shaped,

it's so awfully cute!

It's just too good, I'm starving for more!

I've matched the collar

with the shape of the tail,

and used chemical

and cotton laces to make it.

So that's what they're called!

Also,

I've done my research on succubi.

If I'm going to make the costume, I need

to embrace the world of succubi wholly.

So diligent!

Succubi seduce men,

so they're often depicted in sexy outfits,

but Boccubus doesn't emphasize those,

so I made the costume into something cute.

I get you!

THERE'S NO WAY THE PILLOW

FOOLISH HUMAN USES WILL WORK

-But

-What?

As the anatomy changes,

if there were a Cutie Rizu in real life,

I thought the deformed parts

would look like this.

So I added a lot of things to make it.

It's all down from my imagination.

So if someone were to

compare it to Kani Miso's art,

I don't think it would match.

I think that's fine, though.

What?

Like, sometimes the outfit in the comic

and anime adaptation may look different.

-Really?

-Yes.

But it's not like you can't do cosplay

based on the anime version.

People who make their own costumes

put a lot of thought into them, and

make them with their own interpretations

when they don't know what to make of.

In fact, that's the best thing about it.

Isn't being unrestricted to anything

what makes cosplaying fun?

So we can just say that it's your own

version of the costume, Gojo.

I mean, your costume is just too good,

I bet it's accurate enough!

Your costume is the best!

Thank you

On a different note,

if you put a condom in your wallet,

is it true that you'll get

lots of cash later?

What's with that urban legend?

I saw it on TV before!

Cosplaying costs a lot of money,

so you could use some financial charm.

There it is!

Here's your share.

I have to do it too?

Well, obviously!

What?

Are you sure it's not weird?

The half-pigtails.

Not at all.

It's just like Cutie Rizu

popped out of the comic book!

Really?

This is so embarrassing.

Oh, my!

It definitely looks pretty!

What?

Your wig has a tame color,

but it looks so fresh.

Oh, you mean that? I know that.

What? Oh, sorry?

Anyway

With these wings, I really feel like

a 2D character walking around already!

So unreal!

Well, I actually have some scenes

from the comic I want to reenact.

Really? Which one?

I've marked them up.

Isn't that like almost the whole book?

I've brought some items too!

Amazing! We can snap

some good photos with these!

HYPNOSIS FOR BEGINNERS

You're going to get sleepier!

I wanted to snap that one!

Getting desperate here, huh?

I can do it

as many times as you like, you know!

Yes! Very nice!

Even though you're wearing an eye mask,

you still got the Cutie Rizu vibe!

Next is the chocolate-eating scene.

Okay.

Oh, my! Can I eat another bite?

-Kitagawa

-And another bite!

Hey, Kitagawa.

We've got enough photos

for the chocolate thing!

We've snapped quite some photos, huh?

Yes!

The last one will be

the lullaby singing one.

There it is!

We really need to do that one!

Let's snap them now!

All right! Let's do that!

Well

Was it weird?

It's just lacking something.

Maybe you should stare

at the camera this time.

So we're sh**ting from Kaname's POV now?

That's it!

Kitagawa, hop on me!

Let's sh**t from Kaname's perspective!

On you? Won't it be too hard on you?

We can just snap

some quick photos, that's fine.

Okay.

Tell me if it's too heavy for you.

Okay.

I'm putting my hips down now, okay?

Go ahead.

Here goes.

It's perfectly okay!

I'm snapping the photos now!

Please do!

CLICK

Oh, my god!

-It's super cool!

-Right!

Best thing ever!

A change in angle

makes all the difference!

It's

so fun.

The preparation, the photo sh**ting

with this costume, and viewing the photos.

Every single one of them is so fun!

Everything about cosplay is just too fun!

I'm having a blast now!

Yes! I'm having fun too!

I think I heard a voice from next door.

That's right!

We're in a love hotel now!

I

I got carried away in the photo sh**t,

and told her to hop on me.

Kitagawa, get off me now!

Yes, this is Gojo Dolls

Wait, no!

Oh, okay.

Sorry, but we're not extending.

Oh, that's okay.

Okay. Excuse me.

Looks like our time is up!

Oh, okay.

Well, I guess so.

I'll go and get changed.

That was close!

What?

I'm sorry.

Oh, are they high school students?

What a cute pair.

I guess they're climbing a step

into adulthood this summer.

Well, they are at the age where

their curiosity leads them, after all.

GOJO DOLLS

Kitagawa!
