I'm Arale Nakamachi! I'll be in Class 1-B at Kanda Shiroyama Academy!

As today's event is intended as an opportunity for all creators affiliated with the agency to meet and socialize...

Arale

I am truly honored to have received your invitiation... invitation...

Arale

I fear I may cause you all no small amount of trouble...

Arale

Mew?

Yuno

What's that?

manager

Oops, sorry. I skipped a step.

manager

Starting today, the four of you are MewType!

Yuno

What?

Arale

Mew...? And what, exactly, is "Type"?

Nonoka

A new type of cryptid~?

manager

Of course not! It's obviously your group name!

Arale

G-Group...?

Manager

Miyako Fuji!

Miyako

Wha!? M-Me too!? Seriously!?

Manager

That's right! Put the four of you together, and you've got...
MewType!

Arale

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!???

Nonoka

This is gonna be fun~

Yuno

Nobody told me.

Miyako

R-Right...!
I thought I was only handling the illustration side of things...!

Manager

Nope! It's in the contract!
I remember explaining it to you in the meeting room. I even underlined it in red and everything!

Yuno

Oh... right.

Miyako

Back then, I'd been pulling back-to-back all-nighters... I was barely conscious...

Manager

Don't mess with contracts~~~~~~!!

Arale

U-Um...

Manager

Hm?

Arale

U-Um... groups...
They j-just bring back so many bad memories...

Arale

Just thinking about it is t-t-t-t-too much~~~~

Yuno

Whoa, what brought that on?

Manager

Ah! Don't worry!

Manager

It's a "B-A-N-D," not a "group"!
So you'll be fine!

Arale

Ah, a band~? Well, in that case...

Arale

Wait, nooooooooo, that's not the same!

Manager

Exactly. It's not the same as a group.

Arale

No, that's not what I mean~~~~!
A band's still a group of people working together, isn't it?!

Yuno

I'm with her.

Miyako

...

Yuno

I'm kinda over the whole band thing anyway.
There are already plenty of bands. They don't need us.

Miyako & Arale

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

Yuno

Whoa... That's kinda scary.

Manager

Geez... You girls really have no idea what you've got.
With this lineup? A band's practically guaranteed to blow up.

Manager

Everyone except Fuji-san already has a decent following on their own channels.
And one of Miyanaga-san's cover videos has racked up over a hundred million views.

Arale

A hundred million?!?!

Nonoka

Huh?

Haha! It's Usa Eater-chan~~!

Yuno

Wait, that was you, Miyanaga-san?

Nonoka

Nono-chan, age five!

Arale

Whaaat?!

Arale

Wooow~~! It's "Usa Eater-chan"—that video everyone's seen!
I can't believe I'm meeting a living meme!
This is amazing!!

Nonoka

Ehh...?

Nonoka

You upload videos too, don't you, Arale-chan?

Arale

...

Yuno

...?

Nonoka

Um... That cover you uploaded the other day...

Arale

Ah...! That one?

Nonoka

Yeah. Nono-chan watched your cover, Arale-chan...
You looked like you were having so much fun singing...

Nonoka

I love it~

Arale

Y-You loved it?!

Nonoka

Mm-hm! I really did~

Arale

W-Whaaaat... M-My...
My singing...? Really...? Hehe...

Arale

It's not good enough to deserve all that praise... Ehehe.
I've been told I have a loud voice in class before, but...
For someone to actually say they loved it...? N-No way, no way, no way~~

Arale

Um... So...
You really loved it?

Nonoka

Yep!
Nono-chan absolutely loves your singing, Arale-chan~

Arale

Aaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!

Yuno

Instead of starting a band now...
wouldn't it make more sense for everyone to lean into what they're already good at?

Manager

We've got branding to think about too!

Miyako

U-Um...

Miyako

I... I'm really not ready to jump straight into band activities...

Manager

Ah! Don't worry!

Miyako

...

Manager

I've already made sure there's plenty of practice time!

Group practice will follow this schedule!

Manager

We'll keep everyone engaged with uploads on your personal channels
while you work on band practice, then it'll be time for your first live!

Miyako & Arale

A live?!?!

Manager

I want at least one original song in the set,
so we'll work on that alongside rehearsals too!

Arale

B-B-B-But I can't show my face...

Manager

We'll have Sengoku-san compose, and Nakamachi-san write the lyrics.
All right, let's get to work!

Arale

I-I-I-I can't do thiiiiiiiiis!!!!

A band... A live...

Arale

I can't do either of thooooose!!

Arale

I can't even stand in front of people,
and showing my face is completely out of the questiooooon!!!

Arale

I thought all I had to do was sing~~~~~~

Arale

Ugh... I start high school tomorrow,
and now I've got all this hanging over me...!

Arale

*Sigh*...

Illustration

Arale

Wait... Does that mean...?

Arale

If I don't sing, I won't have to be in the band?!

Arale

Then I wouldn't have to play a live show or show my face either!
I might be a genius~~~~!!

Arale

Heh heh heh!
I'm done singing for a while!

Apparently, she never listens to anyone.

They say she got kicked out for always insisting on doing things her way.

I wish she'd listen to me for once too~

Illustration

Always making everything about herself. She had it coming.

Could you be quiet for a second?

Guess she nuked her account and ran away after all~

Better luck in your next life.
