Shiori meets with mixed results when she tries to get additional assistant work with local manga artists. In an effort to encourage her, Ichiro takes a leaf from her book and decides to put his thoughts down on paper.
I did think my pen technique was weak, and that
 I wouldn't have contributed much right away.
،ظننتُ فعلاً أنّ تقنية القلم خاصّتي كانت ضعيفة
.وأنّي ما كنتُ لأساهم بالكثير من البداية
Meine Stiftführung
war in der Tat schwach,
Es cierto que a mi trazo
le falta fuerza
Sé que mi trazo carece de fuerza
C’est vrai que mes tracés
laissent à désirer.
मुझे लगा था मेरी पेन की तकनीक कमज़ोर है,
और मुझे अभी वह काम ज़्यादा नहीं करना चाहिए।
In effetti il mio tratto è ancora incerto,
De fato, achei mesmo que minha técnica com
a caneta foi fraca e que não contribuí muito.
Да, работа с линиями оставляет желать
лучшего, так что толку от меня пока мало.
