There, you'll learn parts about him unknown to you, and learn more about yourself.
And he will also gain a deeper understanding of you, and reexamine his own past.
In other words...
Eep!
...you'll find out!
Why Andy was born, that is!
Right now, Andy is experiencing another life.
A hypothetical one where he first met you long, long ago.
Of course, this won't alter his actual life.
But the memories of what-if will remain with him all the same.
And I'm positive those memories will strengthen his heart.
So if you interrupt this, I'll have to kill you...
...my little guests from Under.
Fuko arrives at Andy's oldest memory.
There, she encounters Victor, the personality that originally inhabited Andy's body.
Victor tries to regain his body from Andy by eradicating Fuko's soul within his memories.
Murdered multiple times, Fuko is cornered at the final chapter of memories.
But the one that came to save her from peril was none other than Andy,
who had powered up after his views on death changed.
Andy and Victor fight in the memory realm.
In the fierce exchange of techniques, Andy had gained power equal to even Victor.
He creates a new technique "Unluck Bullet" which combines his own Undead powers
with Fuko's Unluck powers to strike back at Victor.
At the end of the stormy battle, Victor sees hope within Fuko's Unluck powers.
He entrusts them to head into the battle against God.
Fuko's return to reality begins by a kiss with Andy.
The expansive book of past memories close, and a new page begins to be written.
We want to learn about the future. The part that you didn't draw out, that is.
You better talk unless you want those two you're desperately protecting to get all chopped up.
I decline!
Sean... not yet.
No way.
If I kill that brat, then I'll get a seat higher than yours in Under.
I'm over taking orders from the guy who sliced open my stomach.
You already know the past and the end, right? What good will saving those two do you?
Saving? Hah, not quite!
I see...
Their existence is the reason I'm alive!
That's why this time... I'm going to save them!
A STORY I WON'T SEE COMING
Akira Kuno was raised by a single mother.
A peculiar child who would have his mother read him manga at bedtime.
But before long, his mother instead listened to tales from her son's imagination.
He created the characters, plotted the stories, and drew the pictures.
He loved how his stories put a smile on his mother's face.
Oh?
Wow! A G-pen!
The name of that Artifact is G-Liner.
The first to touch it can see the past and future events of the current time loop in its entirety.
At that moment, all of the memories of this loop flooded into Akira Kuno's mind.
Wow! What is this amazing story?
"Negators"? "UMA"? "Artifacts"?
What an amazing sci-fi spectacle!
I can't waste time standing here! I need to hurry and talk to Mom!
Gah!
I'm very sorry for bumping into you, Mister! I guess I got too excited for my own good!
Huh?
And at the same time, he was chosen as a Negator.
Gotta draw the characters while I can! Then I'll show 'em to Mom!
I wonder who she'll like best? Maybe Rip?
As for me, it's gotta be...
Oh! She's back!
I'm back! I ended up grabbing takeout for dinner! Sorry!
Mom! Check these out!
I drew a whole bunch of cool guys! I'll give you this one.
He's called Rip and he's-
Akira!
I've got croquettes from the butcher!
They'll get cold!
Akira Kuno... Compulsory Activation-Type Negator.
Yes... that's right! I can't find him anywhere!
He's not at any of his friends' houses, either!
I'm begging you! My child... my child...
Please find him!
At all times, Akira's speech and conduct, or any external changes made thereof...
I beg of you!
...went completely undetected by any other living being.
No matter how hard he tried to yell...
No matter how much he tried to touch...
Not a single person noticed him.
Please... find Akira... my child!
Where are you?
I'm right here...
Are you alive?
I'm alive.
God... Please, I beg of you...
Please let Akira be alive somewhere... with a smile on his face.
Please let him continue to draw... the manga that he loves so much.
AKIRA KUNO
Okay.
I'm most likely a Negator, and this ability will stay with me until I die.
Then should I just die?
I shouldn't.
From the story that rushed into my brain on that day...
...my favorite characters were Andy and Fuko.
They didn't run away from their abilities. They fought to the very end.
So I'll fight, too. I'll draw manga!
For my mom who wishes me to do so!
And so that one day, everyone can learn of...
...the actions of the people who taught me this bravery!
I practiced a lot and drew a one-shot to submit.
I debated using Andy and the gang's tale, but I first wanted to try penning my own story.
The title is "To You, From Me."
TO YOU, FROM ME
An ordinary, naive romance manga.
A pen name, huh? Well, no one's going to read it anyway, so I can pick whatever.
Nobody (UN) knows (KNOWN)...
Anno Un.
There!
WE HAVE A WINNER! GRAND PRIZE, ONE MILLION YEN
Huh?
"Winner Anno... there was no contact info. Please contact us ASAP."
"We plan to serialize your submission right away..."
As Anno Un... as long as I don't draw anything tying them to Akira Kuno, I...
TO YOU, FROM ME
I can get everyone to...
...know me!
HOSPITAL
This is all the rage nowadays! "You-Me"! Would you like to read, too, Ms. Kuno?
Oh my...
The art's quite lovely.
"TO YOU, FROM ME" - ANNO UN NOW ON SALE! - SHUEISHA
SHUEISHA - EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT 3 Don't you think we run out of erasers faster lately?
Yeah.
A while after I got serialized...
...I recalled and thought of my memories.
I thought about those two and their story. Were they all true?
Well, it sure felt real. But still, I just can't believe...
Oh, yeah...
Come to think, Andy was in Japan this August to learn quick-draw sword techniques.
If I miss this chance, Andy wouldn't be back in Japan until August of 2020.
I was still skeptical, but I relied on my memories and rushed off to where he would be.
Man, I need to exercise more...
Whoa!
Well done. That is the Gekkou Moonlight-style quick-draw slash, Waxing Moon!
It was... all real!
Here's your Japanese quick-draw, Josh.
Andy is here, right before my very eyes!
A-A...
Andy!
Welp, it's been fun. Later, Yusai.
Wait!
You've mastered all our arts in just one short year.
I will not let such immense talent slip away!
Don't you think fate meant for this to happen? Please, stay here!
And, um... I want an heir to continue our legacy!
I'm sure my late father would be pleased, indeed!
Sick.
Hold on! You already have Fuko, don't you, Andy?
If you can outlive me, that is.
See ya around.
That's right...
Negators are suffering.
The same went for all of the others, too.
They agonized and struggled with Negator powers so unreasonably thrust upon them...
But they still fought to kill God!
However, if these memories are correct... I already know.
...They will lose by losing Andy and Fuko!
Should that be allowed to happen? Of course not!
None of the others know of this fact!
The only one who does know is me, of all people.
No. They dared to choose me to toy with us.
Is there some way? Any way?
Nobody can know about me. But there must be a way so I can relay the future to them!
TO YOU, FROM ME
That's it... manga!
Under the name Anno Un, I can get my work out to the world. It's a loophole in the rules!
By using this, I can jot down details about the future.
But... is this really the best I can do?
If I recreated everything as is, wouldn't it also halt any growth they're supposed to have?
Driven by a range of feelings, they are all risking their lives, learning, and growing.
Be it Andy's past, or the details behind Billy's betrayal.
There is meaning in the process of knowing. I need to pick the right stories!
To change the future for the best!
My top priority will be the Autumn battle.
This is the branching point... a single, solitary oversight!
It will be the one thing I will make sure to change!
And to do so, I'll collect everything I need!
Hey, where's the encyclopedia that was here?
Great, you lost it again?
It wasn't me this time!
Everyone else is working hard!
And I'm a Negator like them!
So this time, I'll be the one to help them!
X-Day-the day it all happens- December 5th, 2020.
Today, on this very day, this very moment!
I'll go for her throat!
Andy! Deadline, now!
Deadline!
December 5th, 2020.
In the future Akira Kuno saw, while battling Autumn with Anno Un absent...
Unseen's invisible deadly blade had killed Fuko Izumo.
However, now...
Uh...
Sensei!
Your right arm is also-
Urp!
Fuko.
Who...?
This is Unseen. The Negator that got taken by Under.
And based on where he's standin', I'm certain he was aimin' to kill you.
If Anno hadn't spoken up, things would've been a lot worse.
So get over it. I taught ya in the book, didn't I?
You forget already?
Hell of a journey, wasn't it?
Yeah!
I did it!
From here on out is a story I won't see coming.
Backs. You take Unluck!
Qwit callin' me Backs! It's not cute!
That's a weal pwetty gun you got! Now, give it to Bunny!
A rabbit? Do I shoot?
No...
If they're a Negator, too, then...
...I can't stay passive!
Fweh.
Sorry! I don't think a big stroke of unluck'll come though!
Wah! She slapped me, agoo!
Rip-woo!
I managed to steal it, doe!
I won, agoo!
My gun...
Fwee! All done-got da gun, a...
...goo! Rip-woo!
Are you all right?
Still too early for Bunny, too, huh?
First Sean, now this. Nothing's going right.
Well, I guess it's easier to handle it on my own.
Why don't we work together to catch Autumn?
Pardon?
We're all Negators here.
Isn't our true goal to kill God?
I'm sure it's better to help each other!
But for that, we need to catch Autumn, strive to clear the four quests, and-
Killing God is the Boss's goal.
Creed's is to take control of nations. Feng's is collecting Artifacts.
Latla and I want Ark, that your boss supposedly has.
Our goals are all different. Only when our interests align, we come together and cooperate.
That's how we operate-that's Under.
If you can give us any info on Ark, then sure, we can fight together.
But if you can't, then you're in the way and you die here.
Ark? Isn't that the thing Ms. Juiz used for the Loop?
Why are you so fixated on tha-
You should give up on that idea. I already know.
Neither you, nor Latla, can ride Ark.
Huh...?
That's not all. You'll end up losing Latla as well.
Her life was repairable.
That's why I'm going to use Ark to redo things.
For her, I'm willing to risk it all!
Both legs... the rest of my life span... even the lives of others!
If you get that, then step back and leave Autumn for us to take-
I'm the same way!
Don't try to hog all the spotlight for yourself, Rip!
If it means saving her, then I'll do whatever it takes, too!
Yeah... that's right, Latla.
Oh? Big Sissy Latla is here, agoo?
Autumn is heading your way right now!
I think it's being drawn to that big book that was just there!
What's the plan? Do we deal with it here?
Yeah.
- Autumn... is ours! - Autumn... is ours!
