Kyou mo Ashita mo.

Since childhood, Chika has harbored a single, unwavering ambition: to become a professional manga artist. However, her aspirations stand in direct conflict with the rigid expectations of her family. In her household, every member is bound by a strict tradition that demands they pursue careers as educators, leaving no room for personal ambitions outside this predetermined path. Torn between familial duty and her lifelong passion, Chika finds herself unable to take the first steps toward the creative future she truly desires. Her circumstances shift dramatically when she unexpectedly reunites with Ryou, a childhood friend who has successfully established himself as a working manga artist. Recognizing her talent and shared history, Ryou offers Chika an opportunity she never thought possible—a part-time position working alongside him as his assistant. This role not only immerses her in the professional manga industry but also places her directly beside someone who has achieved the very dream she has been forced to suppress. For the first time, Chika is given a tangible foothold in the world she has always wanted to enter. As she balances the heavy weight of her family's expectations against the thrilling reality of assisting a real creator, she must decide whether to follow the safe path laid out for her or finally seize the chance to chase her own dreams.
