Full-time comic artist

It's a bit strange to put heavy burdens on newcomers.

Attorney Kitamoto immediately saw the problem.

He has seen many employees who were wronged and imprisoned by their companies, simply because they were not aware of the risks.

Hanzawa, with a strong sense of duty, accompanied Nakanishi on a visit to Nishi-Osaka Steel, helping this bewildered newcomer.

“Hanzawa Naoki is a good person.” Nishimura nodded.

There are far too few leaders like this who are capable of taking responsibility.

In the workplace, leaders who do not shirk responsibility are considered outliers.

Hanzawa discovered that the employees of Nishi-Osaka Steel were undisciplined and production was disorganized, and they opposed lending money to the company.

Asano Tadashi insisted on a loan of 500 million yen for five years at a fixed interest rate, without collateral. The credit application was submitted by Nakanishi.

Under pressure from higher-ups, Zhongxi nodded in agreement, somewhat bewildered.

The comics are getting more and more interesting, and the conflicts are starting to escalate.

On his wedding anniversary, Hanzawa and his subordinates worked overtime all night.

During this time, he stared blankly at a treasured resin screw, which his father had given him.

His father told him that no matter what job he did, he must value the relationships between people and never treat his work like a robot.

The entire country operates on top of people who are like cogs in a machine.

This is also Hanzawa Naoki's view.

He is an unconventional banker.

After a busy night, Nakanishi prepared the loan approval documents, but before Hanzawa Naoki could verify them further, they were taken away by Asano Tadashi, the branch manager, and sent to the head office.

He said he would take full responsibility for any problems that arose!

Under these circumstances, Hanzawa Naoki had no choice but to agree.

……

The first chapter of the comic has finally come to an end.

Nishimura felt like he had been watching for a very long time, witnessing countless events unfold, from Hanzawa Naoki entering the banking industry, to him becoming a section chief, inspecting Makino Seiko, a reputable company with patents, and then lending 500 million yen to the chaotic Nishi-Osaka Steel...

These contents, which could fill dozens of chapters, were fused together, making Nishimura feel as if he had been transported to another world, as if he had watched a TV series.

"Interesting, very interesting."

He prefers comics with such dense plots.

“There is clearly something wrong here. Asano Tadashi is extremely anxious and is demanding loans to bad companies, while also pushing these responsibilities onto newcomers.”

"Hanzawa Naoki has taken on the responsibility, and he will definitely have to face the challenges head-on from now on!"

"I'm really curious about what will happen next. Should I call Higashino?"

"Let's forget about it! It'll be a better experience to read comics with anticipation!"

……

"Hanzawa Naoki is able to argue with his superiors, care for his subordinates, and has his own principles. This protagonist is really great."

"I wish my section chief was Hanzawa Naoki."

"Tori Akino's new work is as wonderful as ever."

"Such a wealth of content in the very first episode, no wonder it's the teacher's work!"

Readers shared their thoughts and feelings.

They loved Akino Mirai's manga when they were young, and they remain obsessed with her work even after entering the workforce.

Whether it's shonen manga or seinen manga, they're all so interesting.

Tanaka Jun chuckled as he read the comments.

His subordinates reported that by Friday afternoon, Weekly Shonen Jump had sold out.

All the major partner distributors have requested additional printings.

On Thursday, he issued the order for a second printing. After all, Tori Akino Mirai, with over a decade of serialization history, had already cultivated a large readership.

They've given up Shonen Jump as adults, and are the target audience for Seinen Jump. They'll definitely buy Seinen Jump to watch because of the name Akino Mirai.

Of course, we'll see if "Hanzawa Naoki" can retain these readers.

"Weekly Shonen Jump achieved a miraculous circulation of 653 million copies because it had Akira Toriyama and Dragon Ball, far surpassing its competitors Magazine and Sunday. Now that I have Mirai Toriyama, maybe I can achieve the same success as Jump did in the past."

"Under my leadership, Weekly Shonen Jump will shine brightly!"

Any editor-in-chief of a manga magazine would envy Nobuhiko Horie, who has 600 million male fans; it represents an absolute achievement.

This confidence, which Tanaka Jun would never have dared to imagine before, was instilled in him by Tori Akino Mirai.

"This time, 120 million copies of the comic magazine were printed. I wonder what the result will be?"

"And should we print another batch next week?"

This is Tanaka Jun's happy trouble.

……

"Tori Akino-sensei's new work is quite good," Kito said.

He saw in Hanzawa Naoki the things he had never dared to do.

As he worked longer, he felt increasingly inferior, struggling only for a paycheck and feeling no sense of accomplishment.

Was the work he did meaningful?

Ghost Head won't think about it now.

The plot of "Hanzawa Naoki" by Makino Seiki moved him deeply.

Makino Seiki employs many older workers who smile as they machine parts.

You can tell they enjoy their work.

Hanzawa was able to apply for a loan for the company, hoping to save Makino Seiki, a company with a human touch.

His work is meaningful and something he can be proud of.

However, this point was rejected by the cold-blooded branch manager.

Will you still buy Weekly Shonen Jump next week?

He asked Kuriyama Minami.

“Of course I’ll buy it,” Kuriyama Minami said. “I don’t know why, but I feel a strong connection to this manga. I’m completely absorbed in it.”

“Maybe we’re just people who work like robots,” Kito said with a sigh. “We’ve lost our passion for our work, and ‘Hanzawa Naoki’ is the kind of work that’s meant for us.”

There is no communication or interaction between people; they are just mechanically writing code.

Every day is so boring, but "Hanzawa Naoki" offers another possibility in the workplace.

……

"Teacher, 'Hanzawa Naoki' has been a huge success!" the editor excitedly told Higashino Hibiki.

Even this mature and composed man couldn't contain his excitement.

Very few comics achieve success in their first chapter.

Even seasoned comic artists rely on the storyline to speak for themselves.

Many writers produce excellent works in their early stages, but their later works become mediocre and can only be cut short.

"Hanzawa Naoki" got off to a good start.

This is also a rare case of Hibiki Higashino's manga taking off right from the first chapter.

"Hikaru no Go", "Slam Dunk" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" were all relatively ordinary in their early stages, but they achieved good results later on when the plot became more interesting.

Higashino nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

He's currently writing the storyboard for "Bakuman," which has already passed the serialization meeting, and Akemi Akimiya is pushing him hard.

He didn't even have time to be excited.

“Editor Hibiki Higashino,” Higashino looked up and said, “You’ll do even better in the future.”

Go clenched his fist, "I'm going to be number one in Weekly Youth Jump!"

The two assistants chuckled, "Mr. Xiang, you are truly a rare example of passion."

"Working with Professor Tori Akino has raised my expectations, but I don't have the same ideas as you do."

How is it possible that the first seinen manga by shonen manga artist Mirai Toriakino surpassed "Kintaro"?

……

On April 8th, the second episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" aired.

Hibiki Higashino learned about the ratings for the first episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" after being notified by director Araki.

It's 7.4%, which is the result for prime time.

The last century's "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" aired in the early morning, and the final episode had an average viewership rating of 2.3%. Heaven knows how many young people would get up at 3 a.m. to watch "Puella Magi Madoka Magica".

Chapter 368 contains 367 chapters of this middle-aged man's damn hot-bloodedness.

The second episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is about to air.

Just then, Higashino Shio picked up Higashino Mirai from kindergarten and brought her home.

The child was wearing a yellow hat, quiet and smiling.

It seems he is adapting well to kindergarten life.

Higashino Hibiki said to Higashino Shio, "Mom, thank you for your hard work."

“I’m picking up my grandson from school, what’s so hard about that? Besides, I don’t have much to do anyway.” Higashino Shio patted her clothes, went into the kitchen, and prepared dinner with Akemi Akemi.

After his mother left, Higashino Hibiki squatted down and asked her son, "How's it going at kindergarten, Mirai?"
