S1·E18 Grasp the New Serial: My Mom's Manga Way!

Hikaru's mother Terumi, who works as a manga artist, is chosen to draw one-shot manga for a magazine with the hopes of getting serialized. As Hikaru and the others decide to help Terumi out as her assistants, Terumi's editor pushes her to draw a romance manga, feeling sci-fi or fantasy, the genres she excels at, won't sell. Although Terumi manages to finish the one-shot on time, she becomes downhearted upon learning it is being poorly received by the publisher, leading her to become targeted by Tenjou and turned into a Notray. Remembering the fantasy manga that Terumi drew for her as a child, Hikaru rescues Terumi and encourages her to aim for serialization with a fantasy story. Meanwhile, Blue Cat manages to get ahold of a Star Color Pen.
