I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

"Iwamoto...you're back, which means...you've already made your decision, right?"

“Yes.” Yu Iwamoto nodded and placed the two manga drafts in front of Takashi Sasaki, saying, “These are the manga drafts I’ve seen in the past month. One of them is a completely new theme for the current manga industry, and the other I think can make a certain breakthrough in the existing themes.”

“I understand.” Sasaki Takashi nodded and said without even looking at it, “I remember that a few manga will be canceled next week, so let’s make an announcement. The week after next, we will bring these two manga to JUMC.”

No need for serialization meetings.

Since it's a manuscript by manga artist 'Kurokawa Kazuya', it will be approved unconditionally.

This is the action plan issued by the senior management of the Yourong Society.

but...

After Iwamoto Yu left, Sasaki Naoki opened the folder himself and took out the original manuscript.

Each of the two folders contains approximately ten episodes of content.

As for more details, we'll need to get them from Iwamoto Yu later and then promote them appropriately based on their content.

One of the manga series planned to be serialized under the name of manga artist Kazuya Kurokawa is called "Sword Art Online," which seems to depict a story about a virtual reality game or electronic world, something that is currently lacking in the manga market.

The other one is a manga called "One-Punch Man"...

Since this story isn't over yet, I'm going to create a new pen name and serialize this comic under that name...

As for whether it will be canceled or continued, that will depend on the popularity of the manga at that time.

This seems to be a protagonist who's 'invincible' from the start, overwhelming all enemies with sheer power...

Of course, we'll have to wait and see to know the specifics.

He only glanced at the introduction briefly.

......

brush...

brush...

Ryougi Kazuya was flipping through the newly bought JUMC magazine in the room: "What, it's already published... Let me see, Sword Art Online and One-Punch Man... Ah, these two."

I wonder how many comics he read before choosing these.

In reality, the quality of Ryougi and Mi's numerous manga drafts is quite uneven.

Since I hadn't drawn any of the stories I had seen before, I filled in the gaps in the story and drew the content little by little, based on my own experience and drawing skills.

Because there was enough time.

During this period, he gradually drew many of the anime, comics, novels, games, and movies he had watched in his memory.

I draw whatever I find interesting, sometimes even mixing up two related stories and drawing a lot before realizing, "Huh? She's not a character in this manga." "Huh? Isn't he the boss? How did he become the protagonist?" "This...this must be a mix of three or four novels, I forgot about it before..."

such a situation.

Now, I still remember the ones I drew recently, but I've forgotten a lot of the ones from a while back.

Some of his works were even serialized in the Soul Society's Seireitei Newsletter and received great acclaim.

Back then, Tosen would even come to his Eleventh Division to urge him to finish his manuscript...

Although, in reality, he had already finished drawing it a long time ago.

Even after leaving Soul Society, he left behind the sequel to the manga he was serializing there and gave it to Hisagi Shuhei so that he could continue the serialization.

but.

He was somewhat surprised to see that these two comics had been chosen.

Of course, there's also a sense of anticipation.

He's a little unsure what to draw now. He's already drawn everything he could, but when he wants to stop, he realizes it's probably because he's been drawing for too long; his hand keeps subconsciously wanting to draw something else...

"Kazumi, have you seen Ori?" Ryougi Shiki came out of the room and sighed softly. "She's gone somewhere without me noticing."

“Ori? Ah... a Zanpakuto…” Ryougi Kazuya paused for a moment: “Well, maybe she wants to go there for a while, no need to worry.”

"Of course, who's worried? It's just that I'm not used to it..." Ryougi Shiki shook her head and walked over: "It feels a little awkward not having the origami in my hands..."

Several months have passed since I returned to this world. I visited Chaldea twice during that time, but things seemed to be going quite smoothly there. It looked like they were working on conquering the London Singularity, so I didn't pay much attention and came back.

Anyway, Fujimaru Ritsuka can summon Servants.

Mash, Kenpachi, and others were also there.

As long as we don't encounter a crisis like the previous singularity, everything should be quite simple.

so...

Ryougi and Mi decided to leave that matter alone. Ideally, they would fight their way to Goetia, and then Ryougi would wander around there... Roman wouldn't need to lift a finger; he could simply end Goetia's conspiracy and everything would be over.

Therefore, at this time, they also enjoyed a rather leisurely period.

"Is that so... But since we don't have anything else to do right now, let's go find her and wander around a bit while we're at it." Ryougi Kazumi said, closing the JUMC and placing it on the table.

"Is that... JUMC?"

“Ah, that’s right, two new manga series have started…” Ryougi Kazumi nodded: “Let me see what they’ve started.”

"Hmm...so what kind of things are there?"

“One is Sword Art Online, and the other is One-Punch Man…” Ryougi Kazuya smiled and said, “Mr. Iwamoto has a good eye for these.”

Chapter 1139 One-Punch Man

"Is this... this issue of JUMC... the cover of which manga?"

Makoto looked at the manga that Akito Takagi had bought and asked with some doubt.

The cover is black and white.

A male swordsman in black, and a female swordsman in white...

He doesn't recall having any roles like that at JUMC recently...

"A new work, a new work," Takagi Akito said with a smile. "Kurokawa-sensei's new work."

"Really?" Makoto Moritaka was taken aback. If it were anyone else, they might be curious as to why there was a cover recommendation for the first issue, but it was not surprising at all for 'Kurokawa Kazuya'.

"Let me see what it is—"

He immediately leaned over, and the two of them first opened the 'Sword Art Online' manga to see if there was any reference value that they could learn from and use in their future manga.

Then...

They were surprised.

"It doesn't seem to be a mainstream manga."

"In the end, most of Kurokawa-sensei's manga are not mainstream, are they?"

“Yeah, that’s true…” Makoto nodded. “But this… virtual reality game, and with this 'can’t quit' setting… sounds pretty good.”

"No, no, no, that's not right, Takagi Akito, you're looking in the wrong direction." Takagi Akito shook his head: "If it were other manga artists' work, it wouldn't be a problem to think like that, but since it's Kurokawa-sensei, there must be some deeper meaning. We have to look carefully at every panel, even the texture of the clothes, to understand the hidden content!"

"......"

"Speaking of which, is this person's action hinting at something...? And the protagonist's name... does it have some special meaning...?"

“I mean… you’ve been doing too many alchemy problems.” Makoto Shinichi sighed as he looked at Takagi Akito muttering to himself. “Kurokawa-sensei doesn’t hide information that deeply. Even if he wanted to express something, like alchemy, he would just write it down directly.”

"But... there is indeed an alchemy course that analyzes each page of 'Fullmetal Alchemist' step by step... and there are also reviews and such... I've written more than ten of them."

"...Are we really from the same school?"

"Oh, we're from the same school."

“That’s enough.” Makoto sighed. “I think the most likely possibility… is that if it’s Kurokawa-sensei, could it be that he wants to use this manga to tell us that ‘VR’ technology is mature and may be promoted in the future… Is there such a possibility?”

"That's right, that's right! If it's Kurokawa-sensei, then it's definitely possible. Wow, a virtual reality game... If it's not one that you can't quit, I'd like to try it out."

"I want to too! I want to play with Azuki!"

"Haha... But this game hasn't appeared yet..." Takagi Akito said, stroking his chin. "Of course, when Fullmetal Alchemist first came out, no one would have thought it would be written into textbooks... Now that such a big change has occurred, I guess no one except Kurokawa-sensei could have predicted it."

"If we're talking about Kurokawa-sensei's favorite manga, it's definitely JOJO."

"Ah, the manga is still being serialized, and the collected volumes have already been reprinted several times, each time more exquisite than the last, with the artwork becoming more and more astonishing. It must be that every time I improve, I redraw JoJo..."

Takagi Akito paused for a moment: "Oh, there's also a new manga series starting this issue, I think it's called One-Punch Man."

"Sounds good, let's take a look." Masashi Moritaka said, "By the way, how old is the manga artist? Has he submitted any works before?"

This is what he cares about most.

No matter what, he didn't want to lose to his peers!

Therefore, whenever a new author starts serializing a comic, he will check the author's real age and whether they have submitted any works in any category...

"The author's name is Genos, a name I don't recognize..."

"So this is your first submission..."

At this point, the two swallowed hard. Their first submission, a name they'd never heard of before, whether it was the Tezuka Award or the Monthly Award, was directly approved for serialization... It sounded incredibly impressive!

"Huh? Is this Piccolo Daimaō?"

The very first character that appears when you open the comic is such a striking character that it makes you laugh.

"Wait a minute, Akito, don't rush to turn the page... By the way, this explosion scene is drawn so well... Such skill is definitely not something a newbie can do. It must be a style that was developed after studying Kurokawa-sensei's 'How to Draw Battle Scenes' for a long time."

"That's really impressive... and it seems even better than that 'How to Draw Battle Scenes' you showed me before..."

"Ah...now that you mention it, the visual impact is really strong...I'll go buy another JUMC book later and cut out this page; it should be useful for reference later."

My initial feelings about this comic have completely changed.

Although they seemed to be newcomers, the two of them watched the show with a learning attitude.

"But the main character is bald... This guy named Genos really dares to draw that."

"But the protagonist of this story passed the serialization meeting, so he must have some outstanding qualities," Masashi Moritaka said as he read.

Then, watching Piccolo the Second... no, Vaccine Man suddenly transform, the powerful scene made him pause for a moment, and he wanted to cut out this page.
