I, who tortured the readers, was knocked to the ground by them!

Chapter 74 "White Album", please read it!
Hane Shion used the tablet as a mirror, carefully wiped the cream off her face, and glared at Sakurai Itsuki who was also in a mess because of her.

Although it was quite ridiculous, it made my depressed mood much better.

Especially when I threw the cake at that bastard Sakurai Itsuki, I felt so relieved.

I guess I've accumulated a lot of resentment towards Sakurai Itsuki.

However, after the commotion, when it came to the formal meeting, she still had to unconditionally support Sakurai Itsuki.

This is their agreement.

Moreover, Hane Shion had an inexplicable feeling in her heart that although Sakurai Itsuki was a difficult person to describe, it seemed that the choices he made were correct and he was trustworthy.

Everyone simply cleaned up the messy meeting room and then started the meeting.

Sakurai Itsuki shared the first phase of the script, outline, and main character settings with everyone.

"The text is very good. What kind of monster are you? Are you going to let me live?"

Shinichi Kojima couldn't help but sigh again, this is so unfair.

"Not only are you good at drawing, but you're also great at writing. You're going to drive me to death."

"Amazing! This writing is really authentic."

Sakurai Itsuki nodded. "Perhaps all story creation methods lead to the same goal. I'm simply moving the story from my mind."

I thought to myself, every line of this was polished word by word by a well-known veteran in the industry, how could it not be correct?

I'm just a porter.

However, his honest words once again drew the same expressions from everyone as Shinkawa Aimi had at the time: an expression of "Listen, is this even human language?"

There is no doubt that everyone thought that Sakurai Itsuki was just showing off, but facing Sakurai Itsuki's terrifying and outrageous strength, they could only watch quietly and had no way to refute.

“I like this translated name.”

"White album, the translation should be, white photo album! As expected of a literary and artistic serial painter."

Yuuki Tsukimo always gives a thumbs up and praises Sakurai Itsuki.

As the president, she tried her best to keep a genius like Sakurai Itsuki in the club. She vaguely felt that the future of the club lay in Sakurai Itsuki.

"It's excellent, but I have a question. Your outline doesn't seem to complete the story, and there doesn't seem to be a plot line."

Kojima Haruna looked through Sakurai Itsuki's files and asked her question.

In fact, the original name of the document that Sakurai Itsuki took out was not "White Album", but "White Album 2" to be precise.

However, there is no previous work in this world, so it is impossible for Sakurai Itsuki to abruptly add the title 2 to the subsequent work.

The story of "White Album 2" is divided into three parts for sale because the total text volume reaches a terrifying 240 million words.

As for the first part that Sakurai Itsuki came up with, it was quite shocking in the industry at that time.

Because it is unprecedented, it only has a prologue.

"Yes, this is just the prologue." Sakurai Itsuki nodded and replied.

"But the outline of your prologue is so long. How much do you want to write?" asked Shinichi Kojima.

"About 250,000 to 300,000."

Before Sakurai Itsuki answered, Hase Hatsuna, a teacher who has never been associated with "reliability", answered the question first.

This couldn't help but startle Sakurai Itsuki slightly.

She only looked at part of the manuscript and a brief outline and the word count she estimated was very close to the actual text number, which was really amazing.

“It’s so long, how can I fit the whole article in there?”

There was even more doubt on Kojima Haruna's face.

The prologue alone has 300,000 words, so how complete is that?
Although Galgame is also called a visual novel, it is different from a novel after all.

Three hundred thousand words is just the size of two or three volumes for the popular light novels nowadays, but for galgame, it is almost reaching the production ceiling of a small workshop.

If I make a 300,000-word prologue, is that still the main content?
"So, I think we should just do the prologue, and then update the main story as a sequel if the response is positive."

After Sakurai Itsuki finished explaining his plan, the studio fell into silence as expected.

Selling the prologue of a galgame separately is unheard of in this world.

Moreover, it doesn’t even have the most classic plot-division part of a galgame, so can it still be considered a galgame?
Back to the point, the style of this story is also different from most galgames.
Sakurai Itsuki had already guessed that everyone would hesitate.

But from the practical considerations of the community, this is currently the most suitable work for the small workshop community.

Compared to other commercial blockbusters with millions of words, White Album 2 stands out as a standalone prologue, making it the perfect fit for them. The characters are simple, the storyline is one-line, and the text is significantly reduced, making it a viable proposition.

Of course, the most important point is that it is indeed torturous enough.

Just as Sakurai Itsuki was about to explain further, it was Hane Shion who raised her hand first and broke the silence.

"I support it. I don't understand other things, but Jump has always had a standard. As long as the comics are interesting, that's enough. Galgames should be even more so. As long as they are interesting, that's enough."

Hanase Shion expressed her opinion.

I should have said earlier that Jump didn't have any romance manga before "Strawberry 100", and before the serialization of "Flame Fist", there wasn't such a "disgusting" manga.

But this does not affect the fact that they still have a large number of followers.

Hanase Shion believes that as long as it is interesting, what does the prologue matter?

She also believed that Sakurai Itsuki could make this prologue interesting.

Everyone turned to look at Hane Shion.

However, when Hane Shion noticed Sakurai Itsuki's gaze, she glanced at him with contempt.

It seemed to be saying, "I'm just fulfilling the bet. I raised my hand first because I wanted to get rid of you as quickly as possible. Don't misunderstand me."

Sakurai Itsuki couldn't help but admire himself. Just by looking at the young lady's expression, he could actually imagine her classic tsundere remarks.

"I don't know much about this, but I believe in Shu!"

When Sato Wakaba saw Hane Shion raise her hand to express her opinion, she quickly raised her own hand to express her consistent position.

No one was surprised by this.

After all, their positions are almost always the same, just like a young couple who always follow the husband's lead.

Currently, Sakurai Itsuki has received three votes of support, which is still less than half of the votes, and the remaining people have obvious hesitation on their faces.

After all, this involves everyone's long-term efforts, the work in the following months, and this is a very memorable first work.

But another person Sakurai Itsuki didn't expect raised his hand.

Hase Hatsuna put down the tablet and raised her hands straight up decisively.

"Do you also support only doing the prologue?" Kojima Haruna asked Hase Hatsuna in surprise.

She should be well aware that there is no precedent for this in the industry.

"Of course. Just because we're only producing the prologue doesn't mean we can still make money from the main content later on! This is a good thing!"

Hase Hatsuna said it as a matter of course.

"Do you think this will be popular? You're already thinking about the sequel before it even starts." Yuuki Tsukimeng asked.

She was already thinking about running like Bolt while she was still walking.

"This thing will definitely go viral. I feel like as long as the production quality is up to par, it will easily sell tens of thousands of copies."

Hase Hatsuna's tone was even more determined than Sakurai Jūto's.

This made Sakurai Itsuki look sideways. It seemed that this Hase Hatsuna was not as unreliable as he thought. Her vision seemed to be very sharp.

Looking back, it was she who used all sorts of methods to pull herself here.

"Besides, isn't it super fun to create something unique like this? Just do this! Otherwise, I'll disband the club! I'm the founder!"

Hase Hatsuna suddenly made some outrageous remarks, and then she was punched on the head again as expected.

However, despite the fight, after Hase Hatsuna announced her attitude, everyone in the club raised their hands and voted unanimously to pass this policy.

Sakurai Itsuki vaguely understood that this genius teacher with a poor sense of direction seemed to be more than just a mascot.

"Great, then let's celebrate the official launch of our project! Let's party again!"

Seeing this, Sato Wakaba waved her hands excitedly again.

Hase Hatsuna looked at the character chart, squinting her eyes slightly, and at the same time raised her head and scanned the three of them.

The cheerful blond girl now plays the female lead.

The second female lead is a tsundere black-haired young lady.

The male protagonist has a bit of a scumbag personality.

Wow, this is so interesting!
