Aki thought about the events that took place before he convinced the guild master Makarov to open a manga store in the guild.
Aki noticed that there weren't many forms of entertainment available for the guild members outside of missions. He then shared his idea of opening a manga store with Natsu and Lucy, who both found the idea interesting.
They later presented the idea to Makarov, but he initially dismissed it as he didn't see the importance of manga in the lives of guild members. However, Aki, Natsu, and Lucy continued to persuade him by explaining how manga could help guild members unwind and relax after missions and training.
Makarov remained skeptical, but Aki, Natsu, and Lucy were persistent, and they even went ahead to gather a group of guild members who were interested in the idea. They explained to Makarov how the store could potentially attract new members who shared similar interests.
As the guild members gathered around Makarov, Lucy held up a copy of the newly-published Fairy Tail Volume 1. Makarov's eyes widened in surprise as he took the book from Lucy's hands and examined the cover.
"Is this what I think it is?" he asked, flipping through the pages. "A story about our guild?"
Lucy nodded eagerly. "Yes! It's a manga that tells the story of our adventures!"
Makarov couldn't contain his excitement as he continued to read through the book. He laughed at the depictions of his guild members and their antics, and marveled at how the story perfectly captured the spirit of Fairy Tail.
"I never would have thought that our guild would become the subject of a manga," he said, beaming with pride. "This is truly an honor."
Eventually, Makarov saw the potential benefits and gave in to their proposal, agreeing to the opening of the manga store in the guild.
Makarov then turned to the rest of the guild members and held up the book, announcing that they would all have a copy for themselves to keep. The guild erupted in cheers and applause, thrilled at the prospect of being immortalized in a manga series.
The three friends and the interested guild members then worked together to bring the idea to fruition.

Aki sat in his corner of the Fairy Tail guild hall, taking a brief break from his manga writing to check his notifications. He had recently thinking about implemented a system where readers could also earn points by reading his manga, which could then be used to redeem exclusive merchandise or sneak peeks of upcoming chapters. As he scrolled through his notifications, he saw that he had received a considerable amount of reading points from several readers.
