Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! Volume 8

Continues the story beyond the end of the Eizouken anime!Kanamori may love making money-but no matter the price, she's not going to sell out Eizouken's creative vision!It was the trailer they made for Clutch That Machete With Strength! that convinced Sowande, the strong-willed secretary of the Student Council, to approve Eizouken as a campus club at Shibahama High. But Sowande has warned Eizouken all along that if they try to win an audience for their anime outside the school, they risk a collision between their creative freedom as amateur students, and the grown-up world of media and politicians.Now that clash has finally come, as the committee of TV anime pros judging their full-length version of Clutch That Machete With Strength! want its length to be just a bit shorter...meaning, they want the blood cut out of the battle scenes. If their experienced elders in the industry are trapped in a cozy image of what young people's anime should be, what can Eizouken do to free their minds? There's more than the three million yen in prize money at stake for Eizouken-if nevertheless they persist, they may find their club disbanded!
