Or rather, this is a dream that every light novel writer often has.

However, he was also very self-aware.

Even best-selling works are not guaranteed to be adapted into animations, and those unknown, non-best-selling works have even less hope.

In terms of talent, ability, and experience, it is already quite remarkable to be able to write a work that can be adapted into an anime in one's lifetime.

Therefore, he not only had no objection to his own experience being adapted into an animation, but was actually looking forward to it.

Because the story in the light novel version needs to be written by oneself.

Although this is not a light novel exclusively for me, because the protagonist is myself, the sense of identification is too strong, and it is no different from my own work.

He had only been working on the first volume of the light novel "Eromanga Sensei" for a short time when it was already being released, and he immediately wanted to start writing the second volume.

However, despite having this idea in mind, the animation production process has kept me from starting it.

That morning, Izumi Masamune arrived at Musashino Animation Company as usual.

Of course, as usual, he was holding his phone, which was in the middle of a video call.

"Nozaki, you're here too."

Seeing Nozaki Umetarou enter the elevator at almost the same time as him, Izumi Masamune casually greeted him.

The other party was a cartoonist, and a fairly well-known one at that, whose social status was clearly above his own.

In a different setting, he might give the other person a respectful look and ask for an autograph.

However, for the time being, both of them are only the protagonists of the animation, and there is no difference in their status.

Therefore, Izumi Masamune's way of greeting people and his tone of voice are quite casual.

"Ah."

Nozaki Umetarou responded in a low voice, his tall stature and half-closed eyes creating a great sense of oppression.

However, after getting to know each other better over the past few days, Izumi Masamune was quite clear that the other party was not angry, but simply lacked sleep.

Did you stay up late again last night?

"Ah... um."

Nozaki Umetarou's head swayed from side to side with the elevator. The next moment, he suddenly woke up as if from a dream, holding onto the wall with one hand and covering his mouth with the other.

Upon seeing this, Izumi Masamune silently took a half step back.

Fortunately, the elevator arrived at its destination the next second, and Nozaki did not vomit.

Stepping out of the elevator and standing at the elevator entrance on the third floor of Musashino, Nozaki was slightly stunned.

"When did I come here?"

What time did you go to sleep last night?

"It was around 4 a.m. I spent a little more time to meet the deadline."

"I understand that feeling, but don't you have any drafts saved up?"

"A few days ago, I suddenly came up with a better plot idea, so I scrapped the last few pages and redrawn them all."

"Mmm... I do that all the time too."

Izumi Masamune nodded repeatedly. Compared to keeping a stockpile of drafts as a backup, this willful and reckless behavior could create better works, but it would also waste a lot of time.

During their casual conversation, the two had already entered the conference hall on the third floor.

"Nozaki-kun, the day is over for the help I needed in person. Starting tomorrow, you can contact me by phone."

"it is good."

"In the next few days, we may visit your school for an on-site inspection. We look forward to your guidance then."

"no problem."

Listening to Director Takeuchi's explanation, Izumi Masamune also looked expectantly at Director Nishimura.

"I'm sorry, Izumi-kun, it will take me a few more days to finish here."

"Huh...? Shouldn't the production of the two animations have started at the same time?"

"That's true, but because the production process is in a different order, there are many areas where your assistance is needed. For example, Shiina, who serves as the animation director, can only direct one animation at a time."

"I see."

Izumi Masamune understood perfectly well that not only Shiina Mashiro, but also President Hayase was unique.

He wrote all three scripts by himself, so any major script revisions would definitely require his personal involvement.

This naturally leads to a distinction in order of priority.

The next moment, Izumi Masamune suddenly remembered what he had talked about with Hayase yesterday afternoon.

At the time, he said he would go to Sakuragaoka Academy to take photos and collect materials.

Based on this, it can be concluded that K-On! has now entered the field research phase.

Therefore, within Musashino, the level of importance attached to the three anime series can be roughly divided into:

K-On! > Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun > Eromanga Sensei

I'm the least noticed animated protagonist!

Realizing this, Izumi Masamune suddenly felt a strong sense of antagonism.

K-On! has a first season as a foundation, and as a different type of anime, it's hard to compare, and there's no need to compare.

But Monthly Girls' Novel? It's not like I'm without a fighting chance.

Sagiri is the cutest little sister, definitely not inferior to Sakura Chiyo.

"What are my job responsibilities for today?"

“Although I don’t know what’s wrong with Izumi-kun all of a sudden, it’s good that he’s motivated.” Nishimura Eiji smiled and pondered for a moment. “Your main task today is to assist Shiina in completing the character designs for all the characters.”

"Can it be completed in one day?"

"Today is a school day, Shiina went to school and hasn't come over yet. To be precise, she only has one afternoon."

"Huh...!? Only this much time?"

Although he didn't know much about animation production, Izumi Masamune was well aware that character design wasn't something that could be done in a day or two.

“Don’t worry,” Nozaki suddenly said. “Shiina will draw very quickly. You just need to pose, express, and move accordingly as the model.”

"Uh... what about Sagiri's character design?"

"Use photos instead. Also, Shiina might ask you to pose or do what your sister does."

"Huh? This actually works?"

Izumi Masamune looked surprised and suddenly became uneasy.

He hesitated for a few seconds, then suddenly remembered something and immediately looked up at Nozaki:

"You've already tried it?"

"Ah."

Since that's the case, I can't admit defeat.

Sagiri is the cutest little sister in the world! No arguments allowed, she absolutely—absolutely—wouldn't lose to Sakura Chiyo on his side.

"I understand. In order to make the character more outstanding, and to help create a masterpiece, I will abandon my boring sense of shame and do whatever it takes."

Upon hearing this, Eiji Nishimura couldn't help but applaud:

"That's right, let's create a masterpiece together."

"Takeuchi, want to have a competition with me? Whoever is in charge of a better project."

When he suddenly looked at him, Takeuchi Yasuyuki was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening and then laughed.

At that moment, he couldn't help but think back to when he first joined Musashino last year.

At that time, eager to prove his abilities and gain more recognition within the company, he challenged Kinoshita Seiichi in the same way.

Without realizing it, I had gone from being the pursuer to being pursued.

"it is good."

Chapter 150 The Light Music Club's Standard Level Drops Dramatically

"Hello, senior."

"Good afternoon, sister."

Amidst the sounds of chairs being moved and people getting up to greet each other, Yui Hirasawa and the others slowly walked into the No. 1 activity room of the Light Music Club.

Kotobuki Tsumugi looked up at the sign on the door frame [Light Music Club No. 1] and couldn't help but chuckle softly.

Even though she had seen it more than once, she still found the brand ridiculous.

But from the school's perspective, this is the only option they have.

Even though Ms. Sawako tried her best to dissuade many girls from joining in the fun, a large number of freshmen still stayed, totaling 153.

This number, and not even some ghost members, is definitely not enough to fit in one department, and three would be too crowded.

In the end, they could only allocate some empty classrooms as activity rooms for the Light Music Club.

Because the Light Music Club recruited too many new students, some clubs were disbanded due to insufficient members, and the activity room was renamed Light Music Club No. X.

The room that they used to share was named [Light Music Club No. 1].

"Seniors, what brings you here? And the president of the company as well."

After standing up, Nakano Azusa asked curiously.

"On-site inspection."

Masamune looked around and explained:

"Thanks to the sufficient manpower, and the fact that many artists have improved their skills under Mashiro's guidance, they are able to draw more details."

"Compared to the first season of Light Music Club last year, the second season this year has higher requirements for animation."
