Full-time comic artist

Akemi Akimiya's lips curled up. "Really, you have no manners."

Hearing his parents' voices, Higashino Mirai peeked out and blinked, discovering that his father was engrossed in enjoying a delicious meal.

He couldn't help but feel anxious and agitated; he wanted to eat too, and his mouth was practically watering.

"Wow! Wow!" In his anxiety, Higashino Mirai couldn't speak anymore and could only shout.

"Do you want some cake too?" Akemi Akemi asked, holding a small piece of cake and squatting down in front of the baby.

"Yes, yes, Mom, cake." Higashino Mirai nodded repeatedly.

He smelled a sweet aroma and couldn't wait to stare at the cake.

"I want to eat it."

“They’re all just gluttons.” Akemi Akemi chuckled, letting Mirai Higashino sit at her special dining table before placing the cake there.

Then she saw Higashino Mirai's mouth open wide, big enough to fit her small fist, before her head slammed into the cake.

The sound of chewing, "mmmmm," rang out.

When Higashino's future rises, there will be a huge gap in the pie.

"Wow, that's amazing! That's incredibly efficient." Higashino Hibiki exclaimed in admiration upon seeing this.

"Hehe." Higashino Mirai looked up, his face covered in green, his nostrils practically sealed shut by the cake. He tilted his head back and grinned smugly.

"You've become arrogant!" Akemi Akemi exclaimed in exasperation, rushing to Higashino Mirai and wiping her son's face with a handkerchief. "Don't do that again! It's dirty!"

She took Higashino Mirai's hand and gently tapped it. "Do you understand?"

“Yes!” Higashino Mirai nodded.

"Listen to your mother, okay?" Hibiki Higashino said.

"You too!" After dealing with her son, she scolded Higashino Hibiki, "You praised your son for causing trouble, you really love to cause trouble."

"I was wrong, Mom." Higashino raised his hands in surrender.

Akimiya glanced at him.

"Pfft." Higashino Mirai laughed so hard that snot bubbles appeared on her nose.

……

"Tori Akino-sensei, clean the lawn."

After leaving Katsura Hoshino's studio, Koji Yoshida went straight to the Higashino family home.

As soon as he arrived at the entrance, he saw Higashino Hibiki wearing a straw hat and driving a lawnmower.

"Apologize for doing housework." Higashino Hibiki didn't stop, the lawnmower continued moving forward, "Wait a moment, I'll be done here soon."

“Oh, I’m not in a hurry,” Yoshida Koji replied.

He entered the house, went to the living room, and found Higashino Mirai facing the wall in contemplation, and Akemi Akimiya having afternoon tea.

Koji Yoshida roughly understood the reason. "Wow, marriage is terrifying."

Akemi Akemi saw him, stood up in a friendly manner, and said, "Hello, Yoshida-kun, would you like some tea?"

"No...no need!" Yoshida quickly shook his head. "Don't worry about me!"

"I see." Akemi Akemi ignored him.

She ate cake, drank black tea, and stared at Higashino Mirai.

Koji Yoshida remained silent, sitting obediently in his chair.

"Teacher Toriakino, I'm really worried!"

Twenty minutes later, Higashino Hibiki walked into the room. "Is it about the storyboard? I'll take a shower first?"

He worked up a sweat cleaning the lawn under the scorching summer sun.

Koji Yoshida quickly tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "There's no need, this is fine!"

"Ok."

Hibiki Higashino brought over the storyboard for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica." Yoshida looked at it, then looked up and said, "This kind of plot... even though I was prepared for it, you really have a heart of stone, teacher."

"Huh?" Hibiki Higashino said, "It's just normal content, right? According to the direction it's going to go, it should be like this."

“A cold-blooded creator,” Yoshida sighed.

This editor, when reviewing storyboards, actually thinks from the reader's perspective, which is unacceptable.

Yoshida patted his cheeks and looked at it again. "The cinematic language is like a work of art; I have nothing to change."

"Then I'll draw it like this."

"Well, please."

"Phew," Higashino Hibiki let out a sigh of relief, "Is there anything else?"

"The time and place for the book signing of the first volume of 'Little Circle' have been decided."

Yoshida explained the details and left hastily despite Higashino's attempts to persuade him to stay.

"Honestly," Hibiki Higashino said, hands on his hips, looking at Yoshida's retreating figure with dissatisfaction, "It's like we have a tigress in our house!"

"Are you...?" Akemi Akemi turned around, tilted her head to look at Higashino Hibiki, and asked kindly, "Are you making veiled accusations?"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong." Hibiki Higashino surrendered once again.

……

Katsura Hinagiku is watching "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

The human soul is merely a collection of nerve cells. Kyubey materialized the soul, making it something that could be held in one's hand and carefully preserved.

Mami Tomoe never imagined she would discover this until her death.

"Why...why do we have to encounter this?"

Sayaka sues Kyubey.

She only wanted to heal the pain of the person she loved, and that's how she ended up with this body—she's already dead, a zombie.

"You had a wish you wanted to fulfill, even if it meant accepting the fate of battle, didn't you? And hasn't that already been fulfilled?"

Kyubey doesn't think he's going too far; it doesn't apply human values, and it only claims everything as a legitimate price for miracles to happen.

Sayaka burst into tears.

"How am I supposed to face Kyosuke now that I've been transformed into this body?"

The boy she loved, the boy she gave everything to save, now dares not hug him.

The daisy in the cassia tree placed on the jump and let out a long sigh.

She tilted her head back, watching the leaves fall, "Tori Akino-sensei... he's really going too far."

The girl's feelings pained her deeply.

Loving someone but being unable to get close, unable to express your feelings, is more regrettable than being rejected.

Akino Mirai, who drew all of this, is destroying the hopes of Katsura Hinagiku.

Kyoko Sakura, who has always been hostile to Sayaka, has come to find her.

She took Sayaka to an abandoned church and then began to tell her story.

This church once belonged to her overly honest and kind father.

That person is someone who feels distressed for the distress of others.

In order to bring happiness to everyone, he instilled content that went beyond the doctrine, and as a result, he was not accepted by the believers, and few people came to the church.

Afterwards, Sakura Kyoko's father was expelled from the headquarters.

He did nothing wrong, but no one listened to what he had to say; they rejected his new ideas.

People just thought it was a newly emerging religion.

The Sakura family eventually went hungry.

She was unwilling to accept this. Even just five minutes would be enough. If people listened carefully, they would understand that her father was right.

"I'm not reconciled, I can't forgive, and I can't even stand those people ignoring him."

So Sakura Kyoko asked Kyubey for help.

"So, Kyoko, like Sayaka, made a wish for someone else, but..."

Thinking of Kyoko now, who utterly rejects Sayaka, Katsura Hinagiku's heart sank.

This is bound to be a sad ending.

"The next morning, my father's church was crowded with visitors."

"The number of believers is increasing strongly every day."

"That's how I became a magical girl so easily."

"No matter how correct Dad's preaching is, it can't eliminate the witch."

"So it was my turn to step in, working like an idiot with full enthusiasm."

"My dad and I are in the light and the dark, respectively, saving the world."

Chapter 340 The Car is Ready

The latest episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" tells two sad stories.

First, there's Sayaka. She made a wish to become a magical girl for the boy she liked, but now she's discovered that she's turned into a zombie and can no longer face Kyosuke Kamijou.

This saddened Katsura Hinagiku, and most readers were equally angry upon seeing this issue's content.

If Akino Mirai were here, they would want to...want to get her autograph.

Secondly, there's Sakura Kyoko's past.

In this painting, Akino uses a bizarre and novel style to depict Kyoko's tragic fate.

Apricot made a wish to Cupid, and a miracle occurred. Many people came to the church to visit and became believers.
