I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

There should be a giveaway if a comic book is completed, but I don't know if there will be one if it's my own original short story that's completed.

Is there a chance to extract some of its abilities...?

But thinking about it carefully, there are no special abilities in my comic at all.

Well, never mind, there's no need to rush these things.

Soon, the final chapter was finished.

The composition was almost complete; all he needed was an expression.

Realistic...?

Kurokawa Kazuya read through the entire book again himself and nodded in satisfaction.

When he became a manga artist, the person who influenced him the most was not the real-life manga artist, but Rohan Kishibe, the manga artist in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure".

Rohan Kishibe's motto was "The most important thing in manga is realism." He was deeply influenced by this.

It was fine when I was drawing "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," but when I was drawing this myself...

The daily routines and small actions of each person, the terrain of their hiding places, the image of a bullet hitting a head, the image of blood splattering, the effect of a knife slashing a person...

All the footage used is based on my own observations, and is as realistic as possible.

He looked closely at the comic and found some logical flaws, but he thought that was normal. Just because he couldn't understand the other person's thinking didn't mean he wouldn't do it. Everyone's thoughts are different.

What one person considers impossible may be taken for granted by others.

Therefore, the main theme of this comic is perfectly set: "realism"!

Chapter Fourteen: Editor's Evaluation

"How about it?"

Looking at Iwamoto Yu and Kurokawa Kazuya, who had finished reading "Battle Royale" up to chapter 29, he asked.

"Hmm... The story is very interesting. The art style is also great. Everything in it feels very real, and the sense of immersion is very strong... I also saw a reflection of myself in one of the characters, even though I died a long time ago..." Yu Iwamoto paused for a moment after saying this.

"Hmm? Is there a problem?"

“Yes.” Yu Iwamoto nodded and then said decisively, “Um… this manga, Battle Royale, can’t be serialized in JUMC!”

"Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, that's true." Kurokawa Kazuya thought for a moment and nodded.

“That’s right… because it’s too real. It even makes me wonder if this really happened in real life.” Iwamoto Yu gave a bitter smile. “And JUMC’s motto is effort, friendship, and victory! But… I don’t see any of that in this at all. The worst aspects of human nature are laid bare. Everyone is like that… Although some characters have some redeeming qualities, there’s no way good deeds are rewarded; they all die.”

“Continue,” Kurokawa Kazuya said, frowning.

"And the protagonist of this manga, apart from being good-looking, is a complete scumbag," Iwamoto Yu said. "But this is the protagonist of this manga. Although he lost an arm and an ear along the way, he still survived to the end... It even gave me a uncomfortable feeling of 'how could such a scumbag survive to the end.' So, the part of this manga that made me feel comfortable was actually the protagonist's death at the end. It gave me a sense of satisfaction."

"I see..." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. "I tried my best to maintain realism, but I didn't expect such a mistake to occur..."

Indeed, this thing is too real...

There's absolutely no art department... huh?

"However, Mr. Kurokawa's manga is undoubtedly quite interesting. If possible, I would like to submit it to Weekly Young Jump, as its audience is more suitable than that of Shonen Jump!"

"Okay, then do as you please." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. This work seemed to have been a bit of a failure...

Although it failed, we learned a lesson, and we can improve on it in the next comic.

Iwamoto Yuya breathed a sigh of relief. If his words had no effect and the man insisted on going his own way, there was nothing he could do.

However, while he wasn't asked to revise the comic, it would be fine if future comics didn't need to strive for realism.

However, I suppose he also had his own selfish reasons for not making him change it...

Because this comic was so captivating to him.

What attracted him was not anything else, but this sense of realism!

While Shonen Jump is unlikely to serialize this due to its founding reasons and target audience, Weekly Young Jump doesn't have as much to say about it.

......

Just as Iwamoto Yu had predicted, "Battle Royale" was quickly accepted for serialization in "Weekly Youngjumc". However, to his dismay, it wasn't his responsibility to handle that section, meaning...

Kurokawa Kazuya has gained another editor.

Although the editor accepted a completed comic book that had not been serialized at all.

"A cartoonist who just dropped in..."

Okada Tomomi looked through the photocopy in her hand and sighed softly.

According to the editor-in-chief, this was a comic drawn in the spare time by a cartoonist who worked in Shonen Jump. Because it was too unsuitable for the style of Shonen Jump, it was serialized here.

It is said that the editors-in-chief and others gave the comic a unanimous thumbs up.

"I remember the manga teacher was Kurokawa Kazuya...?" Okada Tomomi knew this person; it was the name of a manga artist currently serialized in Shonen Jump.

After that, I need to go over and negotiate the price, and the next issue of this comic will be serialized.

really...

"Are all manga artists these days this amazing? They can still find time to draw so much while serializing in JUMC..." Okada Tomomi remarked with admiration.

"Oh, you mean that Kurokawa-sensei?" her colleague said from the side.

“Yes.” Okada Tomomi nodded. “And it just happened to fall into my lap like that… even though I haven’t even seen it before.”

Fumiko Sugiura smiled and said, "Yes, this is the first time this has happened here... But, do you want me to tell you a little tidbit?"

"What? What?" Okada Tomomi asked, still very curious about the person she was going to be in charge of.

"Oh, I heard that Professor Kurokawa doesn't need an assistant."

"Huh? Really?"

“Yes. Don’t tell anyone.” Sugiura Fumiko said, “Besides, he didn’t even need an assistant to draw this new manga… I overheard that the manga he’s currently serializing in JUMC has enough finished manuscripts to run for a long time. Now, I hear he’s going to create a new manga.”

"Really?" Okada Tomomi's eyes widened, somewhat disbelieving.

One has already been serialized, and this is the second one I have now. If another one comes along... that will be the third...

No assistant is needed yet.

Is this even human?

In her mind, she conjured up an image of a monstrous man with eight arms and glowing eyes—

"Of course it's true. Well, you're going to be in charge of him from now on, right? You'll definitely know everything you need to know."

"Mmm." Okada Tomomi nodded, swallowed, and then opened the manuscript in front of her.

......

After a long train journey of several hours, Okada Tomomi finally arrived in Morioh from Tokyo. Looking at the house in front of her, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Really...aren't most manga artists supposed to live in Tokyo? It's so far away..."

Before coming here, I made a special trip to the other editor in charge of him, Yu Iwamoto, to inquire about the situation.

According to him, you can't go on Saturdays and Sundays; you have to go from Monday to Friday.

He turned away the editor-in-chief on Saturdays and Sundays.

It is said that on Monday, Yu Iwamoto and Taishi Yoshikawa stayed at a hotel in Morioh the night before in order to see him as soon as possible, and rushed over as soon as his sister went to school.

That must have been really tough...

This time, she didn't come to discuss the comics, but rather the royalties...

Although he is still a newly started comic artist, he is already enjoying the royalties of a popular comic artist who has been serializing for several years.

Although he is now starting to gain popularity.

"Ring the doorbell now..."

Thinking it over, she reached out and pressed the doorbell on the wall—

Snapped--

Just then!

The door to the room suddenly opened—and a hand grabbed her arm!

Chapter Fifteen: Going on a Trip

“Eek—” Okada Tomomi almost cried out in surprise.

"Huh? Who are you?" Kurokawa Kazuya asked, pushing open the door.

"Um... I'm Okada Tomomi, an editor at Yueisha. I'm the editor in charge of Kurokawa-sensei's new serialization in Weekly YOUNGJUMC. May I ask who you are...?" Okada Tomomi asked, her heart pounding as she looked at Kurokawa Kazumi in front of her.

She was terrified; it felt like her heart had been hit by a huge blow.

“I see.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. “An editor at Yueisha… Then I am the manga artist you are looking for, Kurokawa Kazuya. Please come in.”

"Huh? You're Professor Kurokawa?" Okada Tomomi said in disbelief. Not the eight-armed monster she'd imagined, but someone like this...?

He looks very young...and quite handsome...

"What's wrong? Why are you standing at the door without moving?"

"No, it's nothing, I'm coming!" Okada Tomomi said as she hurried inside.

"Meow~~"

"Ah, the cat—"

"Alright, Hana, stay over there for a while." Kurokawa Kazuya said to the cat, then looked at Okada Tomomi and said, "Okay, this is fine."

"Hmm." Okada Tomomi nodded and sat down, switching into her editor mode. "This is the contract. I brought it with me this time. Can you take a look and see if there are any mistakes or omissions?"

"Okay." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded, opened the folder, and looked at it carefully.

This still needs to be examined carefully. Although generally speaking, a large company like Yu Rong She wouldn't stoop to harming a small-time manga artist, well... thinking about it carefully, it's not really funny, but it's still better to be careful.

just in case.
