With Akito's help, Takagi gets another classmate and his school crush, Azuki Miho, who is an aspiring voice actress, to voice in the anime adaptation of their future manga once it is completed. However, Mashiro also proposes to Azuki, who surprisingly accepts only on the condition she will marry him when both of them have achieved their dreams. With a goal set before him, Mashiro begins a long and struggling path to become a famous mangaka.
Stubbornly episodic, the plot is a collection of standalone tales, each of which focuses largely on one of Dante's clients. That may seem a wise move given Dante's cold reticence, but the series' writers aren't deft enough to flesh out a character in a bare twenty minutes, which leaves viewers with precious little to care about, despite the focus on universal familial and romantic relationships. Only once—in the two-part finale, during Patty's messy and emotionally charged attempt to revive a crucified Dante—is the series freed from the confines of its episodic nature long enough to demonstrate what it might be capable of were it given room to develop its soft emotional underbelly. But it never really gets the chance, which leaves the series with nothing to fall back on but its action.
