SummaryEdit

Due to all the trouble he's caused with Nanamine, Takahama and Aokoi, Nakai is refused by Jump for a job. Fukuda attempts to offer an assistant job to Nakai, but he refuses, prefering to make a living as a street artist. After a terrible prank, Nakai begins drinking and becomes delusional, believing that Aokoi is the cause of his troubles.

In the meantime, Aokoi is enjoying a phone call with Hiramaru; however, a very drunk and angry Nakai arrives at her apartment building, wanting to face her. Hiramaru convinecs Aokoi to stay inside while he hurries over; Aokoi refused to involve the police for Nakai's sake.

TriviaEdit

From the chapter onwards, Nizuma starts greeting Takagi and Mashiro with "Ashirogi sensei! Long time, no Bleach!"
