I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Hattori Tetsuya placed a JUMC book in front of the two and said, "This is it. It was selected for the Tezuka Award before and has been serialized in NEXT. I hope that while working hard towards the main publication, I can also learn by working as an assistant to other manga artists."

"Huh... Is that so... Ah, it's this one—! Swordsman Kamo, I know him, I remember his manga serialized in NEXT was called 'Labyrinth Detective', right?"

"Haha, it's him, Johnny II. How about I introduce him to your side as an assistant?"

“Yes!” Makoto nodded. “We noticed him when we first saw his manga. How should I put it… the stories are very interesting, and there’s a sense of realism, especially the feeling during battles. That kind of tension is very rare. I can’t reach that level either… maybe Eiji Niizuma can! No… um… it might be rude to make such a comparison, but I feel like his style is very similar to Kurokawa-sensei’s.”

"Haha, you feel the same way?" Hattori Tetsu said with a laugh. "Yeah, it's not surprising that you think that way, after all, his understanding of manga started with Kurokawa-sensei."

"—! What—? Could it be that he's a disciple of Kurokawa-sensei, like that Genos?"

“No, that’s not the case.” Hattori Tetsu shook his head: “It’s not a disciple relationship, but a much closer one. This person is Kurokawa-sensei’s son.”

"Huh? Hu ...

"Wait... wait a minute, why is Kurokawa-sensei's son here with us? Wouldn't it be better if he stayed with Kurokawa-sensei?"

"That being said, you all know that Kurokawa-sensei's artwork doesn't require any assistants at all; he can complete it very easily, and there's an even deeper reason behind it... You'll understand when you meet him. As for our editorial department..." Hattori Tetsuya said, "Kurokawa-sensei has told us to treat him with even stricter standards, so it's impossible for us to force him to continue serializing even if it's not feasible... I think that's what he himself hopes for."

"Um... what kind of person is Kurokawa-sensei's child?"

"Well..." Hattori Tetsu thought for a moment and said, "How should I put it... if I had to describe the feeling, I'd say it's very similar to when I first saw you all."

"They're just like us...?" Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi exchanged a puzzled look.

Ah, they have a clear goal in mind!

Chapter 1152 Growth

"Mr. Hattori, when is the new assistant and his move to JOJO's Club?" Makoto Moritaka asked.

"My assistant will be back tomorrow, and I'll bring him with me then," Hattori Tetsuya said with a smile. "As for going to the JOJO Club, it'll be in three days."

Hattori Tetsuya paused for a moment, then said, "Don't get complacent just because you've achieved your dream of anime adaptation. Sure, your manga does have the potential to be animated, but to be honest, in my opinion, it's too early for you to join JOJO Studio."

"Hmm..." The two swallowed.

"You need to understand, that's a place even Eiji Niizuma has never set foot in. The reason you were able to have your work adapted into an anime by JOJO isn't because you're good enough, but because of Kurokawa-sensei. In other words, it's luck. And this kind of luck doesn't come around all the time, understand?"

"Yes!"

Makoto Shinichi and Akito Takagi nodded in unison.

"Yes, that's good to know!" Hattori Tetsuya said with a smile. "Then, let's work together towards our new goal!"

"I see--"

"But I'm still so excited! Finally, it's going to be animated—"

"Wow, and it's PCP! That's amazing!"

"Hahaha."

Tetsuya Hattori laughed along, his suppressed excitement finally bursting forth. After all, it was an anime adaptation, and by JOJO Studio no less. Whatever the reason, it was something to be very excited about.

the next day--

"If it's here... can I make even greater progress?" Ryougi Keichi took a deep breath and looked at the room in front of him.

He wanted to surpass his father.

In comics, his strongest area!

However, I can't do it on my own right now; I'm just following in Kurokawa Kazuya's footsteps.

He must break free from his father, learn from other cartoonists, forge his own path, and surpass that person!

She had also shared her thoughts with her father, Ryougi Kazumi.

He seemed very happy, and then introduced himself to the place—Ashiro Mugen's studio.

"It's very difficult to grow quickly on your own, but if you have peers to compete with and help you... you should be able to grow faster and go further. I'm waiting for that day."

“That’s right, this is it.” Hattori Tetsuya said, knocking on the door. After entering, he looked at the two people in the room and said, “Well then, this is Johnny II, hahaha, let him introduce himself.”

“Yes.” Ryougi Keichi nodded. “My real name is Ryougi Keichi. I hope you two will guide me in the future.”

"Um..." Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi exchanged a glance and said, "Um... how old are you this year?"

"You're 14? What's wrong?"

"No, no... Actually, we were also fourteen when we first started as manga artists... You're much more talented than we were back then." Takagi Akito shook his head and said, "However, back then, we were already exhausted from drawing our own manga on top of our studies... Um, you'll be drawing your own manga in the future, right?"

"Yes, I will draw my own comics."

"So, it's just academics, comics, and an assistant's job... Can you really handle it?"

“Yes, it’s alright.” Ryougi Keichi said with a smile, “I will temporarily suspend my studies. I have already finished studying the high school textbooks.”

Wow, that's amazing!

Makoto Moritaka and Akito Takagi exchanged a glance.

'Is this guy an even better student than you were back then?'

'Yeah, they seem incredibly powerful...'

"Um, what's wrong?"

"No, no, it's nothing." Masashi Moritaka quickly shook his head: "Oh right, we haven't properly introduced ourselves yet. I'm Masashi Moritaka. This is Takagi Akito. We're a duo, manga artists who serialize in JUMC."

"Ah, I know," Ryougi Keichi said with a smile. "That PCP story is very interesting. It's an honor to be here as an assistant!"

"Alright, when will your assistant arrive?"

"Ah... about half an hour more."

"Well then, take this time to familiarize yourself with the environment here," Hattori Tetsuya said to Ryougi Keichi. "Good luck."

"Yes!"

"So, what are you good at?" Zhencheng asked, "Background? Online presence? Blackout?"

"I know a little bit of everything..."

"Wait a minute," Takagi Akito said, "Um... you wouldn't happen to be like Kurokawa-sensei, the kind who doesn't need to draft and can produce a full manuscript in just a few minutes, would you?"

"No... I can't do that."

Takagi Akito breathed a sigh of relief.

“If I were to use the original manuscript directly, it would probably take me between thirty minutes and an hour to print one page.”

Isn't that incredibly powerful too?

Sincerity was taken aback.

"In short, we're currently short of assistants for drawing backgrounds. The one who was originally there has started drawing his own comics, so how about you help with the backgrounds first?"

"Yes, I understand."

Liangyi Qizhi said happily, "The first step is now complete!"

Then...

Two days later—

"Oh, this is really good," Hattori Tetsuya said, looking at the PCP manga in front of him. "The background feels much better than before..."

"Yes, I am." Masashi Moritaka sighed, "I'm exhausted..."

"Hmm? I'm exhausted?"

“Hmm.” Makoto nodded in the best of his ability: “Kichi’s background is top-notch. If it’s still the same as before, it will feel like the background overshadows the character… So the character needs to be drawn even better. Although we could make Kiichi’s background a little worse, that would be such a waste!”

Zhen Shisei said with a smile, "Moreover, this is not only an opportunity for him to learn from us, but also an opportunity for me to learn from him. I will draw my original manuscript even better and will definitely not be overshadowed by his background!"

"I see...no wonder it's so great...it feels like the quality of this PCP's artwork has improved a whole level...By the way, you're already calling him by his name..."

"Huh? It's...it was his own request." Zhencheng nodded and counted, "He said that calling him 'Liangyi' felt like someone was calling his father, so he just called him by his name."

"I see. Where's Takagi?"

“Takagi hasn’t arrived yet, but he should be soon,” Makoto Shinichi said. “Akito said he’s going back to create an even better original work! He can’t let people say, ‘This story doesn’t deserve this artwork!’”

Hattori Tetsuya paused for a moment, then smiled: "Ah, that's more like Ashirogi Muto's aura!"

Both sides are growing!

Chapter 1153 Two Elements Mona

"Is this the place—?"

The girl looked at the house in front of her, took two steps back, swayed slightly, looked around, smiled, and then walked forward to the door and knocked.

"咚咚-"

"Who—?" Thinking about the plot, Takagi Akito glanced at Makoto Moritaka, who was working frantically in the room, and his other assistants. He stood up and walked towards the door, saying with some doubt, "Is it Mr. Hattori...?"

click-

"Hello--"

"Oh... ah..." Looking at the black-haired girl in front of him, Takagi Akito was a little confused, then tilted his head. Who is this...?

"Who are you looking for?" Takagi Akito asked. "Could the address be wrong?"

“No, I’ve checked, this is the place.” The girl said, “I’m looking for Qi Zhi, Liang Yi Qi Zhi, isn’t he here—?”

"Oh my god... looking for Ryougi Keichi... huh? Huh? Eh—?" Takagi Akito said, surprised to find that the girl in front of him looked very much like Ryougi Keichi.

“I am Ryougi Mana, his older sister.”

"—!" Ryougi Keichi, who was drawing a background, seemed to have heard the noise and immediately rushed over: "Who's your younger brother? You're clearly the older brother, you're the younger sister—!"

"No, I'm the older sister, and you're the younger brother," Ryougi Mana said with a smile. "We agreed before, right? Whoever wins is the older brother, and I won before... So, do you think you can beat me now?"

"Damn it..."

"So, now tell me, what should you call me?"
