It's not uncommon in the comics world for serialized comic artists to draw doujinshi (fan-made comics).

Many cartoonists hold positions of status in the industry, and amphibious travel is commonplace for them.

"However, I can't debut under the pen name of my serialized comics, otherwise my reputation will be ruined."

If his fans found out that he was actually using his pen name to draw doujinshi, even though it wasn't a big deal, Naoto would still feel very ashamed.

It's no wonder Eriri was so shy after Naoto and the others found out her identity. After all, if her classmates found out that she drew erotic pictures, she probably wouldn't even have the courage to live.

It's already incredible that Eriri didn't kill Naoto and the others on the spot and then go to keep company with the Martian cockroaches.

As for Naoto, he wanted to stay on Earth for a few more years and didn't plan to meet Ultraman so soon. So, to be on the safe side, he had to act like someone who wouldn't be discovered by others.

As for what pen name to choose and what subject matter to draw, Naoto is still considering it, but he has some ideas.

"Hmph, I, Naoto Yamashita, will rule the world of shoujo manga!"

Chapter 200: The Man Who Will Eventually Become the King of Doujinshi

"Is this the speed of professional comic artists? Wow, that's really fast."

"Compared to them, we feel like we're just slacking off."

"How can someone who's only a high school student have such strength?"

At this moment, in the eyes of the second generation of Genshiken, Moritaka and Naoto were like they had cheat codes, constantly drawing manga on the paper as if they were printing.

Chika was already used to the surprise of her fellow club members.

Compared to those who can draw two or three comics a week, there's no way to compare to someone like her who struggles to draw even one comic a week.

If she could, she would want hands like those too!

"But what kind of content is ONE-sensei planning to draw for this doujinshi?"

"I'm not really sure. Naoto-kun said before that he would prefer to draw a One-Punch Man doujinshi."

"One-Punch Man? Yeah, there are so many One-Punch Man fanfics lately, like those featuring Fubuki and Tatsumaki. They're incredibly popular. Speaking of which, who's the female lead in One-Punch Man?"

"This...who knows?"

Speaking of female protagonists in One-Punch Man, does it even have a female lead? Based on the current plot development, neither Fubuki nor Tatsumaki really fits the bill. If we're talking about a female lead, Genos is more suitable than either of them.

Just as the group began discussing what Naoto would draw, Eriri cautiously approached Naoto from behind.

Although Eriri always wanted to defeat Naoto, she had to admit that he was a genius when it came to his paintings.

No matter what kind of drawing technique it is, this guy can master it quickly, and the things he draws seem to have a soul.

It's as if the painting was meant to be this way.

Now that Naoto has started drawing doujinshi, Eriri can't help but wonder what kind of things he will draw.

At this time, when Naoto was drawing the scenes he had in mind, he also felt that drawing doujinshi seemed to be much more difficult than drawing serious comics.

For a proper comic, all you need to do is draw the characters and write the plot; the most important thing is the plot.

But doujinshi are different; for doujinshi, the plot is actually the least important thing.

While some doujinshi may have excellent plots, the most important aspect of doujinshi is always sex.

A doujinshi that doesn't provoke sexuality isn't a good doujinshi. If it doesn't even provoke the urge to sexually assault people, then it doesn't deserve to be called a doujinshi.

To achieve this, one must ensure that what one draws reflects the most primal human desires.

The most top-tier doujinshi must fully possess all these qualities: the fullness or thinness of the human body, whether it is cute or sexy, and the emotions and expressions the character wants to convey.

Generally speaking, it's easier for doujinshi artists to switch careers than for regular manga artists, because they have a stronger grasp of the visuals.

Well-known artists who excel in both astronomical and terrestrial drawing, such as Hiromitsu Takeda, Tony the Great, and Shun Saeki, may not necessarily have the strongest storylines, but their figure drawing style is absolutely top-notch.

After Naoto sketched a tornado with his pen, the entire room seemed to be filled with a strong sense of hormones.

"Oh my god! What's going on?!"

The moment Eriri saw the figure drawn by Naoto, she felt as if her soul had been struck by something.

My body started to feel uncontrollably hot.

"This, this is ONE-sensei's drawing?!"

"I always feel that if ONE-sensei were to specialize in drawing doujinshi, then there would be no room for other doujinshi artists."

"Naoto-kun, you pervert!"

After seeing Naoto's drawing, everyone present looked at him as if he were some kind of super pervert, which made Naoto feel uneasy all over.

"Hey! Can you guys calm down? This is just work, I'm really not a pervert!"

Seeing the admiring looks from the men around him and the horrified looks from the women, Zhi Ren felt that if he didn't explain himself soon, his reputation would really be ruined.

“Naoto, I understand. After all, he’s a young boy, and he’ll be like this for a while.”

At this moment, Nanko seemed to have suffered a severe blow, and she spoke to Naoto with deep sorrow, which seemed to hurt Naoto even more.

"Nanzi! Let me explain!"

"I understand, I understand. It's my fault as your girlfriend. I didn't know you were so desperate."

Looking at the heartbroken Nanko, Naoto felt like he was going to be played to death by her today.

Nanako clearly has telepathic abilities; she should know everything, so why is she playing these tricks? Does she really think I'm immortal? Where did my cute and understanding Nanako go? Who is this little devil anyway?!

"Pfft."

"Hey! You laughed, didn't you! You definitely laughed, didn't you!"

"No."

"Damn it! You'll be sorry when we get back!"

Although I don't know why Nanzi is playing a trick on me today, at least I managed to finish this comic.

After that, all that's needed is to make further modifications.

"Alright, stop watching. Aren't you guys afraid you won't be able to sleep later?"

Naoto couldn't bear to watch the group of guys fighting over the comic book. These guys were all college graduates, couldn't they be a little more composed?

"Hehe, doesn't this just show off your drawing skills? By the way, have you decided on a pen name for these comics yet? Although ONE is fine, it would be better to think of something else, right?"

"Hmm, I'm still thinking about it. Although using my current pen name can increase my visibility, it's still not quite right. Let me think, which one should I use?"

At this moment, Naoto was thinking about the doujinshi masters from his past life, and now he wondered which ones in this world he hadn't used.

"How about the green charcoal?"

"Green charcoal? Um, does it have any special significance?"

"No, I just thought of this name."

In fact, Naoto himself was quite surprised when he mentioned this name, since the legendary Aotan was actually Murata's name in the sea.

Because this person's art style is extremely similar to Murata's, and sometimes even better than Murata's, netizens sometimes jokingly say that Aotan would be a better artist for One Punch.

Naoto had no idea at the time what kind of wave his choice of "Blue Charcoal" as a pen name would create in the world of doujinshi (Japanese comics).

Chapter 201: The Cosplay of Boys and Girls

"Alright, I've prepared your cosplay outfits. Try them on and see if they fit."

While Naoto and others were preparing their doujinshi, Tanaka also prepared the cosplay outfits needed for this comic convention.

In less than half a month, he prepared all the clothing needed for everyone. Although this was partly due to Tanaka's previous experience with clothing, it also proved that he was a genius among geniuses when it came to making clothes.

"Is this the clothing we need? The quality is amazing!"

"These clothes are actually of better quality than those big-name brands."

Looking at the cosplay outfits of Yukino and Mai in their hands, they couldn't help but marvel.

Needless to say, given Yukino's family background, even if all her clothes aren't designed by top international fashion designers, they are at least all expensive, genuine designer clothes.

Mai has been a spokesperson for major clothing brands for many years, and she owns countless expensive clothes.

Even the two of them thought the clothes were of very high quality, which shows how skilled Tanaka was.

"Senior Tanaka, with your skills, even if you didn't work as a fashion designer in a big company, you could still make a lot of money as a freelance designer overseas, right?"

Looking at Tanaka, Hachiman and Sakuta couldn't help but say something.

"Haha, not at all. Although you can make a lot of money going to those places, to be honest, I still prefer making cosplay costumes and doing what I love with the people I love. Is there anything happier in this world than that?"

"What are you saying? This is so embarrassing."

Hearing Tanaka's cheesy words, Ohno couldn't help but give Tanaka a playful tap, but even so, Tanaka continued to grin foolishly.

"Wow, this candy is so sweet!"

"Is anyone there? Someone's abusing their love here!"

After the little incident involving Tanaka and Ohno, the rest of the people also began preparing for the characters they wanted to cosplay.

For the Genshiken students, cosplay is naturally a familiar concept, but for Naoto and others who are still high school students and have never participated in cosplay, it's completely a mystery.

"Listen up, everyone. Since this is your first time participating in an OCS activity, let me, your senior, introduce what OCS actually requires!"

Upon seeing so many adorable female students who were going to cosplay, Ohno, who had long been unable to contain his cosplay spirit, immediately ran out.

"First and foremost, the most important aspect of cosplay is your cosplay outfit. That goes without saying; the characters you want have already been prepared for you. Next are the various wigs and props. You all know what I mean, since the characters you want might not have the same hair and eye shape as you. And some characters' defining features are the props; without them, it's hard for people to recognize you. But the most crucial thing is actually..."

At this point, when Ohno got to the most crucial part, he deliberately kept it a secret.

"Senior, what's the most crucial thing?"

"Yes, what exactly is the most crucial thing?"

Seeing that Ohno had stopped at the most crucial moment, even the members of Genshiken became anxious.

"The most important thing, of course, is the suitcase!"

"Huh? A suitcase?!"

"What is this?"
