◆A sneak peek of the main story! “It’s a gas shop!!” Episode 9 synopsis
Kiyu, a first-year graduate, has been assigned to plan the ``Gas Exhibition,'' an event to be held in the fall, even though she has only been with the company for a few months. In addition to the daily business, there is also a qualification test to work as a gas dealer, so Kiyu, who is serious and doesn't cut corners, is extremely busy.
Still, Kiyu tries his best in his own way, but at a meeting at a gas exhibition, he meets Mitsuki, a young lady from a company in the same industry who said, ``Last year, even though she was new, she did a great job at the gas exhibition.'' Kiyu, who can no longer use the excuse of ``being a newcomer'', worries even more about planning the gas exhibition.
Furthermore, as a project to liven up the gas exhibition, a sub-event called ``a competition between gas dealers'' has begun. Kiyu joined a fairly small gas company with four employees, and there were no competitors from the same period. This is the first time Kiyu has to face a fierce competition for achievements.
Although it is such a small gas shop, Kiyu's seniors are all amazing people. Not only is Kiyu impatient with her rival, but also the pressure of not wanting to embarrass her family makes Kiyu feel sick to her stomach.
With a lack of strength and experience, and not enough time to grow, will the gas exhibition go well? This is an episode that leads to a climax. Please check out the manga preview below so you can read the rest until the end!

◆Member-only material The rejected manuscript for episode 9 looks like this
When I looked back at the initial name for episode 9, it was significantly different from when it was published. We will reveal to GSC members only what the original name was and the parts that were rejected.
At the beginning of the initial name, Mitsuki proposes a 'game at the gas exhibition' and the flow is the same until the planning meeting is held afterwards. However, in the published manuscript, Kiyu also participated in the planning meeting, but in the initial name, we only hear from Arika-senpai who participated. In order to change the main development of episode 9, it seems that the change has been made to put more pressure on Kiyu.
Then the scene changes, and the initial name depicts Mitsuki's strategy meeting.
Mitsuki seemed perfect, but since she is only in her second year, she is unable to make any major moves without relying on her superiors. It was a scene where we could see some movement on Mitsuki's side, but because episode 9 focused on Kiyu's worries and troubles, it was cut in the second draft of the story.
In the initial version, Iga-senpai speaks out to Kiyu, who was hesitant when dealing with Mitsuki, saying, ``As a newcomer, I can't be your partner...'' The development after this has been moved to the beginning of episode 10, so please wait for the next update.
And then, the 9th episode of the initial name ended with everyone joining hands and saying, ``Let's do our best at the gas exhibition!'' As the final draw, we see ``Kiyu's poor health'', and although it is an interesting draw, the development of episode 9 felt a little weak, so ``Episode 9 will run all the way to the day of the gas exhibition.'' The flow focused on a sense of speed.
We will also share some of the making-of information, including the name and what changes were made after repeated meetings, in a making- of commentary article . If you have any other opinions or requests such as ``I want to see this kind of making as a GSC bonus!'' or ``I'm curious about this information,'' please contact us using the ` `GIGAZINE Manga Award Questions Reception Form .'' In the future, we will continue to release GSC-only advance releases as well as treasured materials that reveal the behind-the-scenes facts and know-how, so please continue to support 'Gas Shop!!'
