What is this, Ririka-Sensei?
This is no good. Fix it.
- The background stands out too much. - Sorry.
Everyone, please do this properly.
Chief Editor Kataoka is coming for the script soon.
Yes.
Hey Nobuko. Please check it properly!
I'm sorry.
Even though we're twins,
You are different than me, and are slacking off.
And Nobuko, get me a cup of coffee.
The strong one to make you wake up.
- I want... Mocha for the beans. - Okay, Sensei.
The cup for Mocha has a flower pattern. Don't mistake it.
Yes, yes, flower pattern. I understand.
Chief Editor Kataoka is here.
Kisaragi Ririka-Sensei! I have good news!
[Koiseyo Mangaka] Has sold more than 40 Million copies!
Congratulations!
Thank you! Ririka is very happy.
For the celebration,
I would like to invite Ririka-sensei for dinner. Is the script okay to go?
It will be finished soon. Hey, Nobuko.
Yes... we just need to finish the background.
We'll be done by tomorrow morning.
If Nobu-Chan said it's okay, I guess it is.
- Well, Kataoka-San. Let's go! - Okay.
No matter how popular she is, Ririka-sense really is too much...
Really! She always leaves the finishing to Nobuko-San.
Ah~ now I've lost my mood.
Ah!
Are you by any chance, Kisaragi Ririka-San?
I'm a big fan of your manga!
[Koiseyo Mangaka], I always read it!
That's... thank you very much.
But why are you here?
Is it for your new project?
Actually I'm...
Kisaragi Ririka's younger twin sister.
Younger sister? Ah, I think they wrote it here.
Ah, Nobuko-San!
Well...
I understand. So, you want a different face from your twin sister.
Yes. Even though our faces are the same, our behaviours are totally opposite.
My sister is glamorous and sociable, and she's popular with guys.
She also has the talent as a mangaka.
Kisaragi Ririka is really popular!
[Koiseyo Mangaka], is very popular,
She makes her life story into a manga.
We'll know what she ate today, what boyfriend she went out with.
Many girls look up to her.
My sister isn't only drawing manga...
She appears on TV, starts rumors on Tabloids...
I'm the one who manages her life.
The one who finishes what she's starts. Also finishes her manga.
In other words, you live in her shadow.
But... I've had enough of all of that.
Also falling in love with the same guy?
Men always choose the bright, positive girls rather than,
dark girls, full of envy.
But only if they have the same face...
Thank you for your hard work.
Ah, thank you for your hard work.
Eh? You're still working?
Yeah, I'm going to bring it to the printers right now.
Sis, were you with the Chief Editor the whole time?
Yeah. Hey, look...
he left kiss marks.
I guess he wants to marry me.
But, aren't you going out with Hamada-San?
We broke up.
But, he's quite persistent...
There's no way he can monopolize a girl like me.
What's with the hateful look?
How about I give you Hamada-San?
We have the same face. I guess he'll be happy too.
I don't need that.
Nobuko, you like Kataoka-San, don't you?
I'm...
When I get bored with him, I'll give him to you.
You're great at having my leftovers, aren't you?
But I guess, girl with the same face...
Is not good.
That's why I want a different face from her.
I want to throw this face away, no matter what!
I want to be reborn, be another person...
I want to start again from zero.
Okay then...
This...
Choose the face you want from these.
On one condition,
Do not disclose this place to the world.
And, once a person has an operation,
they cannot get back their previous face.
The price is... you face.
Kirishima Shun, once belonged to the United States Marshals Service.
As part of the US Federal Witness Protection Program,
he performed cosmetic surgery.
Granting people new faces,
He was known in the black market as: Face Maker.
File 9: Two Sides Of The Twins subbed by erhanz from D-Addicts.com
This is your new face.
This is... me?
Thank you very much, Kirishima-Sensei!
Please excuse me.
I have a feeling that my fate will totally change.
It seems she has become brighter.
Okamoto Ayumi. That's my name from today onward.
I've been reborn.
In a new face and environment,
I want to try to draw a manga I really want to draw.
And then, he...
Before that, let's say goodbye to the past.
- Hello? - It's me.
Eh? Your voice is a little different.
I have a cold.
More importantly, I won't be coming back to the office.
- Please do it on your own. - That's... what about the manga!?
You can draw it yourself, right?
You have great assistants too.
Aren't you Kisaragi Ririko?
It's a hard to understand. Fix it.
Chief Editor Kataoka. My name is Okamoto Ayumi.
Can you take a look at my manga?
The story is interesting and the drawing is great.
It's my own work.
- But... - But what?
It's too similar to the work of Kisaragi Ririka-Sensei.
I know. Yet compared to her,
I think my skills are better.
That's true. From that side, you are better than her.
But that's not the problem.
Then, what's the problem?
We don't need two people with the same style.
I'm sorry, but we can't put it in our magazine.
That's...
I threw away everything for this day...
How about you work in our Editorial Department?
Eh...?
It looks like you know a lot about manga.
Just take your time and consider your next move.
Really?
If it's okay, let me be your strength.
Thank you very much!
- Thanks for your hard work. - Ah, Chief Editor. Please check this.
Released from the curse called [Twins],
My new life has started.
Oh, delicious.
When you are done with that, please check this out.
Yes.
You are still here, Ayumi-Chan...
Just a lil bit more. I want to finish today.
I'm surprised at your hard work.
That's because Chief Editor's guidance is good.
Your work is fast and accurate.
Although I'm already at the limit.
And not only about work,
you understand me.
It feels like I've known you before.
How can I say it... It's calming when I'm around you.
Chief Editor...
Yes, Kataoka here.
Eh? What did you say!?
I'm going there.
Something happened?
- Kisaragi Ririka was killed. - Ririka was!?
Chief Editor!
- Chief Editor... - Why did this happen?
When I came here, Sensei was not breathing anymore.
Who the hell did this?
The culprit is someone named Hamada.
I heard that he came & confessed to the police.
Hamada?
"The culprit is someone who was dating Ririka-San,
Hamada Takuya, 25 years old.
He had been calling the office and threatening her,
Sending mail with "I'll kill you" written inside.
And just like her works, Kisaragi Ririko-San...
"Had the pattern of having a great relationship with the opposite sex."
What will happen to serialization of [Koiseyo Mangaka]?
Me?
Following her death,
We want you to continue the serialization for the manga Ririka wrote.
Isn't your dream is to be a mangaka?
I think this is a good chance for you.
But, Ririka-San just died recently...
Many people are waiting for Ririka-san's Manga.
I'm also betting on her manga.
And the one who can continue it,
is only you.
I'm to take over Ririka's serialization...
We're going to make this into a great advertisement,
As the starter who have the DNA of Kisaragi Ririka.
Kisaragi Ririka's DNA...
This is going to be big. Because,
You can draw the same pictures as her.
I know that you're uneasy about this. It's going to be okay, because I'm here for you.
Let's try our best together.
I understand... I'll try.
- You've made a great work. - Thank you very much.
It's because of you, Kataoka-San.
Let's give our best together from now on.
You've gained everything.
That's because of you. But, why are you here today?
Your face was sold. I came to tell you.
My face were sold? I see...
You have no regrets?
Although if you didn't change your face, you'll still have those.
After I changed my face, I decided not to look back anymore.
This is my real life from now on.
Real life, eh?
Things you get from using the fragments of your twin as your stepping stone.
Eh?
My operation can change one's face into a different one.
But I cannot change what's inside.
The only one who can change that is you, yourself.
What's wrong, Chief Editor?
I have someone I want to introduce to you.
Who is it?
Katsuragi Ririko's twin younger sister, Nobuko-San.
She went missing 2 months ago,
But she returned after hearing about her sister's death.
From now on, she will continue the serialization.
So, am I fired?
No... You will work as her assistant.
I'm ... her assistant?
Wait!
Who the hell are you?
I'm Kisaragi Ririko's twin younger sister, Nobuko.
That's a lie.
- I know that you are a fake.
Because that face was my old face.
So that's how it is...
So, if I told everyone about your secret...
I'll be destroyed.
But you will too.
- I am your... - What are you saying?
I draw manga because I adored Katsuragi Ririko,
But my work never sold at all. Then, I got this face.
When Katsuragi Ririka died, my chance came to me.
You're not fit to be her substitute.
You can't draw like she could.
That's... not a problem,
because I'm her sister.
Copyright of the manga, inheritance, and the things that she saved up,
is now mine.
You'll be my assistant, right?
Who'll be your assistant?
If the serialization stops right now, Chief Editor Kataoka will be troubled.
You want to help him, don't you?
I won't do anything bad to you, let's work together.
Ah! Everyone's on the job!
Kataoka-San, good morning.
Here's some supplies. It's Nobu-chan's favorite Choux Creme.
Ah~ thank you.
Ayumi-Chan, can you get me coffee?
Yes.
After concluding chapter one, how about some lunch?
I guess so. I think others will be more relaxed if I'm not here.
Not at all. Because Nobu-San is here,
Our team can do the work properly.
That's right, just go for the lunch.
Then... I guess I'll be going.
Those two look like a couple.
Between us, but they are already talking about marriage.
If it's Nobu-San, I will support her. if it's Ririka-Sensei, I would oppose.
I understand ~
You want to change your face back?
If I leave it like this, I lose my job, my man, everything!
By changing back, which face do you mean?
Eh?
To the face of the younger sister, Nobuko.
Or the face of the older sister, Katsuragi Ririka?
What are you talking about?
Wait... What are you doing?
You're not Nobuko, but Kisaragi Ririka.
Ririka gets a kiss mark easily.
That's why she always wears a scarf.
Hey, look... He gave me this kiss mark.
Even though they are twins, her appearance differs from her younger sister.
That manga, she wrote it just as it is, right?
[Koiseyo Mangaka] Volume 2, Chapter 8.
The secret of the kiss marks.
You pretended to be Nobuko-San all this time.
After getting threatened by the stalker,
you thought about changing your face, didn't you?
You forced your past and your sins onto Nobuko-San.
Pitiful... She died as your substitute.
I never thought she would be killed.
I was just afraid.
Your other goal was to take back Kataoka-San.
You knew that he was more attracted to your sister than you.
I told you, if you have the same face,
men always choose the bright, and positive girl,
rather than the girl dark and full of envy.
You became a different person, and tried to make him turn in your direction.
Nobuko, you like Kataoka-San, don't you?
I'm...
But I guess, the girl with the same face...
is no good.
Sis?
- What's wrong? Are you okay? - Don't be so kind!
I know...
that you are kind and everyone loves you.
Kataoka-San likes you too, you know?
Because my manga is selling, he's trying to keep me happy.
He held me while thinking that I am you.
That's...
That's true.
Would you like to be my substitute?
What do you mean?
I'm tired.
I've been drawing manga since I was 10.
I don't know what I want to write anymore.
That's why, please let me rest for a month.
That's... What about the serialization?
You'll become Katsuragi Ririko.
Isn't that okay, Nobuko?
We're twins after all.
You knew I was Katsuragi Ririka from the beginning?
Why did you operate me knowing that?
I just do operations for...
people who want to change their face and start anew.
"I want to start again from zero." There were no lies in those words.
But... I don't want to lose him.
After losing everything, you can restart your life.
Don't you kid me!
Can't you understand how hard I worked till now?
I used to like Ririka-san's Manga.
Kataoka-San!
- Ah, what's wrong? - That girl, Nobuko. She's a fake!
- A fake? - That's why you can't marry her.
Hey! Nobuko-San is Katsuragi Ririka's real sister.
She's a good girl, and kinder than Ririka. She also has the inheritances.
Is that your purpose?
That's not it! This is not going anywhere.
Please don't go! I beg you!
I threw everything away because I liked you.
You are still drawing part-time, aren't you?
No.
The truth is... I'm Katsuragi Ririka.
It's true that your drawing is the same as hers.
But it's also called plagiarism.
Wait! I am Katsuragi Ririka!
I am Katsuragi Ririka...
After losing everything, you can restart your life.
You can restart your life.
I used to like Ririka-san's Manga.
