Eren the Southpaw

Despite realizing he lacks the talent of Ellen and Akari, Koichi refuses to give up. Around this time, Chiaki, the advertising manager of Sonomiya Pharmaceuticals, brings a project to Ryukawa in the sales department: a rebranding of their cosmetics business. Koichi is put in charge of the project and heads to Sonomiya Pharmaceuticals, but Chiaki's father, President Sonomiya, suddenly appears at the meeting . Meanwhile, in New York, the street visions of the mysterious artist "Ellen the Southpaw" are captivating people's attention.

Ellen, based in New York, devotes herself to her work every day, but contrary to the public's attention, she still hasn't been able to paint the kind of pictures she wants. Seeing this, producer Sayuri has been plotting how to promote Ellen, but suddenly she receives a summons from Anna Kishi and heads to ANNA KISHI's office. After seeing a video of "Ellen the Southpaw," Anna becomes interested in Ellen and approaches Sayuri with the idea of making her the muse for her new brand—

Sonomiya Pharmaceutical's cosmetics rebranding project is progressing, and the model is being changed from Akari to a model who can more easily resonate with the target audience. Auditions begin, and Chiaki witnesses the professional work of Koichi and the others for the first time. Finding an unknown model with experience and talent proves difficult, but as the auditions progress, one model catches the eye of Koichi and Chiaki. But then, Akari suddenly appears as an additional audition participant—

Ellen, having left Sayuri, had returned to Japan and was back in Yokohama. Meanwhile, Koichi had decided that this would be his last job. As the studio was ready and the advertising shoot was about to begin, the photographer, Sakuma, ignored the plan and started shooting on his own, causing panic on set. As the director, Koichi was helpless and heartbroken, so he ran out of the studio alone. A total lunar eclipse was starting in the sky above, and Koichi stopped in his tracks when he saw "something" on top of a building in Yokohama.
