Master of the Machete Style Manga

Chapter 61 Haruna stood at the door.

Haruna Mikazuki was changing clothes in her room.

She put on the skirt and pantyhose, the whole outfit, and carefully smoothed out the wrinkles in the silk fabric on her feet.

The floor inside was spotless as she walked downstairs.

As soon as she appeared in front of her four assistants, the four girls widened their eyes in surprise.

"Wow……"

"Ms. March Spring, you look so good in this outfit!"

Forty-Haru stared at Haruna's legs for a moment, then said, "Mitsuki Haru-sensei, do these stockings have a special texture?"

"Huh? Forty-Haru, you noticed?"

At this moment, Forty-Hara leaned closer, wanting to get a good look at Mikazuki Haruna's thighs.

"The subtle pattern is so delicate..."

"Huh?! What are you going to do..."

“I’ve thought of a new character and I want to refer to this pattern, it’s from an illustration collection.”

"The one titled 'I really want someone to show me their underwear with a disgusted look'?"

"Hey~"

"Alright, here you go." Mikazuki Haruna put her foot up on the edge of the chair.

"March Haru-sensei's legs are so beautiful~" Forty-Haru chuckled and said, "I really want to touch them."

"That won't do." Feeling secretly pleased by the compliment, Mikazuki Haruna coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, I should get going."

Mikazuki Haruna and her four assistants walked out of the villa, where a Lexus LM was already waiting.

"Go Haruna-sensei!"

"We'll flood your live stream with comments!"

Thanks!

Haruna waved to her assistants and got into the car.

The car door closed, and the car immediately became quiet. Aunt Hezi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, had already turned on the air conditioning, making the car warm.

Haruna habitually kicked off her slightly restrictive little leather shoes, freeing her feet.

She stretched her feet out in front of the air conditioner vent, feeling the warm current gently tickling the soles of her feet.

It was still a bit chilly outside on a spring evening.

The warm breeze blowing on her thin stockings brought a tingling, comfortable sensation, making her toes stretch out involuntarily.

Five tiny toes spread out like flower petals, supporting the elastic silk fabric and creating a nearly transparent spiderweb-like area between the toes.

She rubbed her feet together again until her slightly cool insteps felt warm.

Haruna Mikazuki reclined the chair back a bit, adjusting it to the most comfortable angle, before picking up the tablet computer that was lying next to her, opening JUMP+, and enjoying the remastered version of her manga.

The car drove smoothly through the streets of Tokyo, and not long after, Aunt Kazuko's voice came from the driver's seat.

"Miss, we are here."

Haruna Mikazuki put down her tablet and sat up.

She put her shoes back on and tidied her hair in front of the vanity mirror in the car.

He raised his hand to his chest, took a few deep breaths, pressed the button to open the door, and got out of the car.

……

In front of the Shueisha building.

On the way there, Mikazuki Haruna sent a message that she had set off. Editor Ohno Tomohiro was already waiting for her at the door, with a serious yet polite, formulaic smile on his face.

"Welcome, Teacher March Spring."

"Hello, Editor-in-Chief~" Haruna nodded in response.

Tomohiro Ohno led Haruna Mikazuki into the building, took the elevator, and then walked down a long corridor.

"This is our JUMP live broadcast room." Tomohiro Ohno pushed open a door.

The room was decorated with an anime atmosphere, with posters of popular anime covering the walls and various fancy character figurines displayed in the corners.

Several staff members were nervously adjusting the equipment in front of the lights and cameras.

“The live broadcast is still being prepared. Sakamoto-sensei’s interview is earlier. Why don’t you go to the dressing room next door to rest for a bit, Mikazuki-sensei?” Ohno Tomohiro said. “Okay.” Mikazuki Haruna nodded.

She was prepared not to be the first to appear, but rather to be part of a "surprise" segment.

Tomohiro Ohno led her to a separate lounge next door and said, "I'll get back to work now. I need to notify the operations department to release the official live stream announcement."

"Okay, Editor-in-Chief, you can go now."

The door to the lounge was gently closed, leaving only Mikazuki Haruna in the room.

She sat down on the sofa, took out her phone, opened YouTube, and found JUMP's official channel.

The live stream page is already set up, with the cover image being the color page from "Chainsaw Man," and the title written in eye-catching font: "Ken Sakamoto, author of 'Chainsaw Man,' is a guest in the live stream!"

The screen was still showing "about to start", but the number of real-time viewers below was already showing "3".

Are there two other people online besides yourself?
Mikazuki Haruna pondered, "Maybe it's the Forty-Haru and the others, since the live broadcast notification hasn't been sent out yet."

JUMP's YouTube account doesn't have many followers, so no one will be waiting for the live stream early on.

Soon, Haruna browsed JUMP's Twitter account and saw that the number of followers there had increased significantly. She noticed that the official account had posted a formal announcement about the live stream.

Then, the number of people waiting in the live stream began to slowly increase.

A few comments started appearing in the chat box.

"Oh my god! Is this the author of Chainsaw Man? I can't wait!"

"Will we finally get to see Ken Sakamoto's face?"

"I hope the teacher can reveal more about what will happen next!"

"I want to be Miss Machima's dog!"

"I want to be Miss Machima's dog!"

"I am Miss Machima's dog!"

"..."

What's going on? Why are they arguing?

Seeing that the chat box was full of discussions about Chainsaw Man and not a single one mentioned her own comic, Haruna felt a little resentful for some reason.

But then I thought about it again, and this live stream announcement was mainly about Ken Sakamoto, so it's normal for people to talk about him.

In the initial promotional materials, there was never any mention of her participating in the live stream.

Time ticked by, and there were still ten minutes until the live stream started.

Just then, a series of clear footsteps and a woman's slightly excited voice came from outside the lounge door.

"...Sakamoto-sensei, in a little while it will just be a brief talk about the creative process and stuff, don't be nervous. There are still some parts later, but they're all arranged by the operations team, and they won't make things difficult for you. Just handle it as you see fit, Sakamoto-sensei..."

It's that female editor!

Haruna's heart tightened suddenly; she must be talking to Ken Sakamoto!
Haruna Mikazuki immediately went to the door, but unfortunately the door to the lounge didn't have a peephole, so she could only press her ear against the door to listen.

Unfortunately, only Keiko Kaji's voice was heard; Ken Sakamoto didn't say a word.

She even briefly considered opening the door and jumping out to stop him.

But after thinking about it, I decided against it. After all, the live stream was already planned, so I just had to follow the plan.

The girl clenched her fists, her heart pounding with excitement.

I'm about to see him!
