◆ 'Let me make it! Ejima-san' Episode 9 Synopsis
Kaido and Ejima are members of the 'Game Club' at a certain art university. Kaido doesn't hide his love for Ejima, but he directs all of his affection towards creating a game based on Ejima. Ejima wants people to pay attention to her rather than the game, but she can't be completely honest with him and continues to approach him in a roundabout way, getting angry and irritated.

Winter is approaching, and Ejima will soon graduate. Their relationship, which was once filled with happiness just by being able to talk, is gradually beginning to change.

During a club trip to a hot spring, the two of them spoke a little more honestly than usual and it seems they have become much closer.

However, when the two returned to their daily lives, they found themselves back at an awkward distance, with Kaido still absorbed in the game and Ejima unable to be honest and nagging.

The three years they spent together at the same university and in the same club, seeing each other without even knowing it, are about to come to an end. But will Kaido's approach, his love for her growing stronger, bring about a decisive change in their relationship...?

◆GSC members only bonus: Episode 9 making-of
Below, the image on the left shows the original name before correction, and on the right, the revised name. The only changes were to the character's position and the placement of the speech bubble, but because this is an important scene where a crucial line is spoken, the composition was changed so that the character would not be cut off by the edge of the frame.

Also, unlike the previous episodes which focused on everyday life, episode 9 sees a big change in the story. To give it a culminating impression, we added a scene showing a roadmap of how we've made this game up until now and have come to this conclusion.

The completed draft of the roadmap section looks like this: By adding a virtual-looking cut to the 'AI Ejima-san' frame, the impact was enhanced.

As a further fine detail, on the left below, 'That's enough' is a shot that hides the expression and only shows the mouth, but after the edit it has been changed to a shot that only shows the eyes. This is to differentiate it from the previous page, which also had a shot that only showed the mouth, and because it is a scene that shows strong emotions, the emphasis was on the eyes, which show the emotions more clearly.
