``Axed Mangaka and Doujin Creator'' is a comedy about a passing relationship that begins when Yukuru Michishita, also known as RO Robou, an unsuccessful male manga artist, is told that his serial work ``Goblin King'' has been canceled. Dejected, Yuki learns that a doujinshi based on his manga will be on sale, so he goes to a doujin event that he is completely unfamiliar with, hoping to buy some as a thank you. There, he befriends Chirita, a woman who draws a doujinshi for ``Goblin King,'' while hiding her true identity... This is a one-shot serialized version that has become a trend on SNS. Two episodes are being released today.
