so this is the legendary "watching it get translated in real time" phenomenon.....

Apparently 1 hour became 15 minutes when Yamame asked Kogasa on a date.

Trans-am?No..something greater...

Karaoke Power!

The rain woman is flaming up......

I'd planned to properly draw that Chinese dress's pattern too, but owing to the reasons shown here, it just came out plain pink. :-)

And so, tomorrow will have everyone doing my heart's desire, karaoke!

Reader-added tags include "Blazing 4-panel strip", "The ability to finish your work in 1/4 the time (karaoke-exclusive)", and "Kogasa activates her raging karaoke power".

The poll's all about ways to get the author's attention:

How do you hook in yours truly, Kogasa-san?
• Karaoke
• Delicious food
• Sweets
• Cute cosplay
• Over here, Sanae-san

Never underestimate the power of passion!

Which one is the #678? I kind of imagine a strip with stick figures.

Kinda impressive that he drew that in 15 minutes.

Well, two panels are taken up by one drawing, and he skipped the dress's pattern, so...

I don't think I could draw it that well in 15 hours...

And that's why you don't have a diary comic. (Don't feel too bad, though. I don't have one for the same reason.)

More than three times faster.

I like how his success was because of karaoke rather then his own skill lol. Sanae doesn't miss a step when it comes down to poking fun lol.

All of the above.

With Sanae's "mountains of faith" I don't htink most care.

Seconded.

It's okay, Kogasa-san, none of us knew about the pattern of the dress. Can't miss what we didn't know about, right? Amazing to hear that was finished up so quickly. The power of desire sure is something. I wonder how fast Kogasa-san would go if Sanae-san wearing a Chinese dress was the reward? My money is one five minutes or less.

On that note, one of the best ways to hook in Kogasa-san: cute cosplay. If Kogasa-san can devote an entire 4-koma to one cosplayer that caught her attention, then that must be a good way to get her attention.

It wasn't fifteen minutes total - it was that plus however much time he'd already spent on the strip. 45 minutes faster than estimated, but probably not four times as fast.

I don't know if Mizuki-san has mentioned how long a strip normally takes him. Some of the Anime Boston attendees might know; IIRC he drew one of those with a number of people around.

I believe it was about 2 to 3 hours. You can see him draw one from start to finish here, starting with the 43rd video.
