Full-time comic artist

This made his friend, Kohei Onishi, especially... happy!

So you've finally met your match!

In the past, he was the one who envied Yoshida Koji.

Seeing that Yoshida remained silent, Onishi ruffled Yoshida's hair. "Pfft, it's just idle gossip, pfft."

He covered his mouth, his laughter gradually becoming unrestrained, "Hahaha!"

"Hey Yoshida, how long has it been since you showered? Your hair is so greasy..."

Koji Yoshida glanced at him, stood up weakly, and staggered toward the tap with his water glass in hand.

"Hahahaha!" Da Xi's laughter was still behind them.

"Sigh." Yoshida sighed.

"Yoshida, come here for a moment." Sasaki beckoned to him, gesturing for him to enter the conference room.

……

There were only Sasaki and Yoshida in the meeting room.

Sasaki frowned as he looked at the water glass in his hand. "Put this down."

"Yes." Yoshida replied absentmindedly.

With a "bang," the water glass slammed onto the table.

"Cheer up!" Sasaki looked at him and said loudly, "You're the group leader of Jump, how can you be so absent-minded all the time!"

……

Da Xi looked at the conference room, feeling somewhat worried.

"I wonder if Yoshida got scolded by the editor-in-chief? No wonder, he made such a big mess."

Half an hour later, Sasaki left the meeting room, and then Yoshida Koji bowed his head and walked out after a long time.

"Yoshida, don't be sad, it's only temporary..."

"Don't call me Yoshida," Yoshida looked up, grinning, "Call me Team Leader! Hahahaha!"

Koji Yoshida was promoted.

"Ah!" Daishi opened his mouth wide, speechless.

……

"How did he become my superior?"

In Hideaki Sorachi's studio, Onishi cried to him.

“The relationships between adults are complicated,” Sorachi scratched his head, looking puzzled. “That’s why I don’t want to become a working professional.”

"It's all because of you, you're not as good as Mr. Torino..."

"I have tried my best."

The current success of "Gintama" is quite impressive. Without Katsura Hoshino, Hideaki Sorachi would be the Rookie of the Year.

The manga "Katekyo Hitman Reborn!", which aired around the same time, is not doing well now, and the sales of its collected volumes are also poor.

It's gotten to the point where if we don't change, it's all over.

"Secret Code" is a niche manga and it's hard to compare it with "Gintama".

The sense of despair in "The Diary of Despair" is diminishing, and it's difficult to maintain this kind of comic atmosphere.

"But becoming a teacher like Tori Akino is just too difficult!"

Hideaki Sorachi recalled the plot of the most recent episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

The Witch's Night has arrived, and dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to destroy it.

Her powerful magic caused the weather to become abnormal.

Due to this extreme and unusual weather, the government issued an evacuation order.

The city residents gathered together, discussing lighthearted topics like camping and barbecues, while Madoka knew that Homura Akemi was now facing Witch Night alone.

The girl's slender body is about to fight against a powerful opponent high in the sky.

It was a terrifying presence, resembling a doll in a tuxedo hanging upside down on a giant gear floating in the air—a bizarre and frightening sight known as Witch's Night.

She is also the opponent that Homura Akemi has faced countless times.

"In terms of Akino-sensei's drawing skills alone, I am far inferior to him."

Hideaki Sorachi picked his nose. Within a week, there were only a handful of manga artists who could turn their manga into works of art.

Paintings that are both wonderful and interesting are even rarer.

……

The appearance of Witch Night enveloped the entire city within a barrier.

A group of animal trainers walked past Homura Akemi.

"It's like the parade in Paprika, only in a different style," Ken Miyano thought.

But that doesn't matter. After the Beast Taming Clan, the Witch's Night appeared.

"Witch Bird Akino Mirai is coming!"

This final witch, who repeatedly defeated Homura Akemi, was named Witch Bird Mirai by readers, representing that cold-blooded and ruthless girl who always wields a knife.

The Witch's Night always feels like the author is getting involved, making things difficult for the characters.

Ken Miyano readily accepted this, finding it quite amusing.

"Is what's hanging upside down below the stage the Witch's Night?"

What does this mean?

"A tragic performance by magical girls?"

Homura Akemi transforms into a magical girl, and with a wave of her hand, rocket launchers, grenades, mortars, and other weapons scatter all over the ground.

This scene is exactly the same as Mami Tomoe's fighting style, but with even greater attack power.

This is, after all, the power of modern technology.

"Amelica Technology is number one in the world!"

She probably stole all of these from the US military stationed in Japan.

Homura Akemi then paused time and launched all the rockets.

Witch Night was hit squarely by a cannonball, and then bombed.

Next up was the oil tanker, engulfed in flames, and the Witch's Night let out a mournful cry.

Before she could catch her breath, a surface-to-ship missile struck her again.

As soon as they clashed, Homura Akemi's series of attacks all landed.

Ken Miyano felt no sense of satisfaction; as he watched Witch's Night, he felt immense heartache.

"She was once a magical girl too, a naive girl who wanted her wishes to come true..."

"How tragic, the endless cycle of reincarnation caused by Kyubey..."

"When will Cupid die?!"

Witch Night was smashed to the ground, and in that huge crater were countless time bombs that Homura Akemi had prepared in advance.

Countless attempts led to the perfect timing; flames shot into the sky, like a nuclear bomb, and a massive light enveloped the heavens and the earth.

Is it all over?

"Ah, no, that's not right!"

The attack from Witch's Night emerged from the flames, and Homura Akemi was knocked down.

"It's not that simple after all."

Chapter 356 The God of Roundness, Activated

"What's wrong, Xiaoyuan?"

"Go to the restroom."

Despite the raging winds and torrential rain outside, and the witch's night that could destroy the city, Madoka decided to face it nonetheless.

She remembered Homura Akemi's tears, and through Kyubey's explanation, she understood that Homura Akemi was a doll bound by time.

When Homura Akemi realizes that she cannot defeat Witch Night and save Madoka, she will fall into despair and become a Grief Seed.

This is the reality that Homura Akemi inevitably faced when she made her wish.

"Is there no salvation as long as there is hope?"

This is also the fate of all magical girls under Kyubey.

In ancient times, magical girls were like that too; they turned into witches after despair.

Xiaoyuan made up her mind and left the shelter.

……

Ken Miyano took a deep breath; he knew the big one was coming.

This is probably the final battle.

From this point on, we'll see where "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" goes next.

He felt a sudden, inexplicable fear and couldn't bear to watch any longer.

Perhaps Madoka will become a witch, and the Earth will be destroyed.

Perhaps the spiral formed by Homura Akemi will continue in an endless cycle.

Perhaps only Madoka and Homura Akemi survived; humanity had two Eves, and there was no future.
