Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! Volume 8

Continues the story beyond the end of the Eizouken anime. Kanamori remains driven to protect Eizouken’s creative vision, while the rest of the club tests their boundaries as they prepare a full-length anime project based on Clutch That Machete With Strength! Their trailer wins approval to form a campus club, but Sowande, the strong-willed secretary of the Student Council, warns that taking their work outside the school could pit their freewheeling artistry against the grown-up world of media and politicians. Now, with more than three million yen in prize money at stake, the debate intensifies: should they reshape their battles to appeal to a broader audience, or risk disbandment by sticking to their guns? Sumito Oowara crafts a vivid, humor-filled saga about creative risk, collaboration, and the stubborn courage of young artists wrestling with reality. This volume showcases Oowara's expressive art and his ability to translate animation’s energy into manga.
