I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Unexpectedly, even after the ripples reached their limit, there was still such a possibility—

"It's not over yet—take this, Jerry!" DIO shouted. His Ripple abilities had reached a point where he could control them all, and in an instant—a massive amount of Ripple energy surged from the ground, from beneath Kurokawa Kazuya's feet, towards his body—

"Oh, oh, oh—not bad! That's it, but... I'm not going to end it so easily—"

Even though he was about to die, Kurokawa Kazuya was smiling because he had seen the limits of the two powers and the various ways to use them. That was enough!

*Pfft*

The next moment, two more piercing shots shot through DIO's throat—a truly shocking sight.

"Ha...ha...no...impossible...I, DIO...I, DIO—can't heal...can't heal—?"

DIO tried to heal his injuries with Ripple, but failed.

The extra ripples were used up, and because he couldn't breathe due to the attack on his throat, he was no longer able to generate new ripples.

On the ground...

The ripples that spread from his arms and legs had destroyed Kurokawa Kazuya's entire body. He fell to the ground, and even his head gradually turned to dust, leaving only a trace of his consciousness.

The remaining consciousness did not awaken, but instead gazed at this space, watching DIO's end.

"No...it shouldn't be like this...my life...it should have just begun...it should be like this..."

As he spoke, he collapsed to the ground and never got up again.

DIO...Death—

Kurokawa Kazuya peacefully exited the dream and died in reality.

"Ugh—" Kurokawa Kazuya rubbed his head after waking up and looked at the floor of the room.

"Hmm... Ripples spreading from underground... Perhaps it's time to give the carpets at home a break. Although I had some scarves custom-made before... it seems that's not enough now; I need to replace the entire floor and walls!"

Replace everything with something that can efficiently transmit ripples—

In that case, the room becomes like one's own fortress.

Once it's finished, you can send the Fate/Zero manga manuscript to Tokiomi Tohsaka. Of course, you have to send your sister away first.

He was ready.

Let's see if we can actually step into this mysterious world!

Ripples... Stone Demon Mask.

He was about to reach his peak, and he didn't think he would lose when facing those magicians!

However... even so, even if Fate/Zero continues to be serialized but no magician comes to bother him... then, ah... in that case, it can be confirmed, one hundred percent confirmed, that there are no mysteries in this world.

But... in that case...

I might also break ties with the Tohsaka family. After all, I drew their daughter like that...

He did something so disgusting that even he himself felt disgusted...

However, he did not change it.

He admired Tokiomi Tohsaka's style. If this world had no mysteries... although in that manga Sakura Tohsaka was still called Sakura, how many people in all of Japan were named Sakura?

Several thousand? Tens of thousands? Or hundreds of thousands?

When I was drawing it, I deliberately didn't follow my original impression. For example, the hair color and the way the face was drawn were completely different. Except for the name, everything else was completely different.

Moreover, if this world truly has no mysteries...

He could also go on TV and talk about it; someone had invited him before, but he declined at the time.

Then you can say something like, "I have a good relationship with the Tohsaka family, so I borrowed their identity for a while. However, I haven't been there for a long time, but I didn't expect that they had a second child. And coincidentally, the name is [Sakura] or something..." Then you can conveniently change the name of the character in your book.

We could also try to get Tokiomi Tohsaka involved, but I don't know if he'll agree.

However, this content will not be changed.

Because—if mystery truly exists in this world, and if mystery truly does exist, then this should be enough. This was also a reminder to him, to Tokiomi Tohsaka. If the original drawing hadn't been reproduced, Tokiomi Tohsaka might still have sent it over...

That should be able to save the little girl Sakura Tohsaka's fate.

If there were no mysteries in this world, there would be many ways to remedy the situation. However, if there really are mysteries in this world... without a warning, that girl's future would truly be over.

However, all of this is predicated on Tokiomi Tohsaka believing what's depicted in the manga...

Hmm... I guess they'll believe it... but who knows?

After all, the Tohsaka family has a tradition of "failing at crucial moments"...

However, even so, he would definitely still have doubts, and that's enough... With such doubts, how could he dare to send his daughter over without investigating what the Matou family really is?

Huh?

The Matou family?

Speaking of why I didn't go to the Matou family... well, I wasn't thinking clearly when I first arrived, so I guess I just didn't go.

"Speaking of which, today's the serialization meeting... I wonder if Fate/Zero will get approved for serialization in JUMC..."

If it were another magazine... the transmission speed to the Otherworld might be slower.

Given the massive number of people who buy JUMC... there might even be magicians among them, provided, of course, that mystery exists in this world.

not good--

I forgot something...

If mystery truly existed, he didn't consider the possibility that there might be a magician in the editorial department—

I don't care about myself, but I must send Hemei away immediately!

Chapter 59 Serial Meeting

"Phew—that's it..."

As for houses, he has plenty... After all, he has bought quite a few properties in Japan, but they are mainly concentrated in Tokyo. He doesn't know where the prices will be higher in the future, but big cities should be fine, right?

He also bought some from Morioh, but relatively little...

However... after a perverted woman moved in next door, he simply bought up as many houses as possible in the surrounding area.

Of course, there are a few who don't buy, but now they own six properties in Morioh.

He has already arranged for his younger sister to live in the nearest school, just one street away from here. He also brought Xiaohua with him; it would be good for her to raise her.

And He Mei moved in with great excitement. Her stated reason was: to develop her independent living skills...

Fortunately, his sister has always been very brave. Even after being kidnapped, she was excited and said that she wasn't scared at all when she was kidnapped... If her eyes hadn't turned red, he would have almost believed her.

Of course, it seems I still have to go and cook three meals a day myself.

Next... he can start a large-scale renovation here. He wants to transform his current house into a ripple fortress, so that... regardless of whether this world is mysterious or not, his sense of security will increase significantly.

......

"Now we will begin the serialization meeting for the May issue of Weekly Shonen Jump. I, Hiroki, will be the chairperson. There are a total of 11 candidate works for this serialization, and we will discuss them in the order they were copied."

Time passed in the process—

Iwamoto Yu stared at the closed conference room door in the distance and took a deep breath...

Today will be the day.

Whether 【Fate/Zero】can be serialized depends on this.

This manga could be considered a transformative work for Kurokawa-sensei... and Iwamoto Yu has absolutely no idea what he's trying to achieve. However... according to him, they can discuss the plot of the next manga together.

Ah, I wish it could really be like that.

Once this serialization meeting is finalized, I'll head over tomorrow to see what his new comic is all about.

On the other side—in the conference room

"Finally, there's Kurokawa-sensei's [Fate/Zero]." This manga was added at the last minute yesterday, so it's naturally the last one to be mentioned.

"This will be handled by Iwamoto from our group," said Shoji Yuito, holding the prepared script in his hand. "The story is about seven magicians who, in order to seize the omnipotent wish-granting machine, summon historically renowned Heroic Spirits to fight each other—the Holy Grail War..."

Although everyone had already seen it last night, Shoji Yuito still gave a brief overview of the story's plot.

And it's very long... because other people's comics only have the first few chapters, but this one is different; the original manuscript was already complete from the beginning.

Whether it's good or bad, whether it has future potential, or whether it will collapse, you can tell at a glance.

"Now, please give your opinions on this work." After saying this, Shoji Yuito looked at the others.

"Another manga by Kurokawa-sensei..." Maruyama Yudai said with a sigh, pushing up his glasses.

"Yes, and this should be the fourth one, right?" The slightly chubby Kanade Uemura flipped through the complete manuscript a couple of times and could only say this one sentence.

“The art style is completely different from the previous ones, such as Rohan Kishibe, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and Battle Royale, which wasn’t serialized in JUMC… What is he thinking?” Maruyama Yudai said, looking at Shoji Yuito.

"Well, maybe it's because Kurokawa-sensei has always wanted to push his limits. His update frequency is never a problem, everyone knows that, including this time. He submitted the original manuscript directly, and it's all up to the ending." Shoji Yuito nodded, trying his best to persuade him.

Yoshikawa Taishi remained silent, instead looking at the others.

"That guy is a monster." Kazuhiko Torishima looked at the manga with some emotion: "While others are submitting three or so chapters of the NAME, he actually took the entire manuscript, all the way up to the final chapter 32! You know, 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' and 'Battle Royale' are still being serialized! If Akira Toriyama had half his speed... no, one-fifth would be great."

"Not only that, there have been two previous instances where the magazine didn't have enough pages due to a lack of high-quality works, and they used JOJO to fill the gaps."

"How many drawings did that guy actually make?" Ishida Sora asked, looking at Shoji Yuito with a puzzled expression.

"Well... we're not entirely sure about that either. All we can say is that he draws very quickly, and... he's not the type to work himself to the bone. He even went on a month-long trip during spring break. Everyone knows that, right? And during that time, the updates for JOJO and Battle Royale continued as usual. So, don't worry about things like [a manga artist dying from overwork] happening to him." Shoji Yuito repeated his prepared statement.

"Hmm... As for Kurokawa-sensei, his manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is very popular, and its popularity has been rising rapidly since the second part came out, without declining despite the change in protagonist. However, didn't he start going astray from the path he took starting with Battle Royale? Weekly Shonen Jump is a manga aimed at shonen audiences, with the themes of friendship, effort, and victory. But... in his two most recent manga, we don't see any of that at all," Uemura Kanade said, dismissing Kurokawa Kazuya's manga. He also admitted that Fate/Zero was very interesting. In fact, in terms of plot alone, no other manga in the current Jump series can compare to it.

However... their editors also have performance targets, and this time he also recommended two new comics, but in the end only about three works can pass this serialization meeting.

The more you reject other works, the more opportunities you have.

As for saying that Kurokawa and Mieiro have run out of ideas, he couldn't say anything, because their recent manga are indeed very interesting... it's just that they don't fit the theme of JUMC. His purpose is to seize on this fact that they don't fit the theme.
