Full-time comic artist

Kitamoto opened the magazine and stopped paying attention to his two good friends, immersing himself in the story of "Hanzawa Naoki".

……

Naoki Hanzawa faces immense pressure as he confronts the investigation.

Xiao Mu, wearing glasses and with a shrewd look, immediately pinned the 500 million yuan bad debt on Banze.

He accused Hanzawa: "You failed to see through the manipulation of Nishi-Osaka Steel's financial statements from the very beginning, and that's the biggest problem. Please explain why you made such a big mistake."

In the empty room, only a small chair was provided for Hanzawa.

The two interrogators and the one taking notes stared at Hanzawa.

Kitamoto felt extremely depressed and tense.

In this situation, most people would remain silent, or they would probably confess to everything without hesitation.

Moreover, Xiao Mu had been so malicious.

He kept banging on the table, making loud thumping noises, and his face was repulsive.

Kitamoto felt agitated just looking at the text in the manga.

In the shot, Hanzawa is drawn through Kogiso's palm. With the two drawings echoing each other, it's as if Hanzawa is in Kogiso's palm, at his mercy.

Hanzawa pursed his lips and lowered his head, remaining silent.

It seems they've already given up.

This caused Kitamoto great concern.

Hanzawa is currently facing a major setback in his life, and he is genuinely worried that Hanzawa Naoki will be broken by the weight of it.

……

"Oh, he was watching very carefully."

Nishimura whispered to Higashino Hibiki.

"Because 'Hanzawa Naoki' is very interesting," Hibiki Higashino said.

The fifth episode of "Hanzawa Naoki" is the most exciting part of the first episode, so captivating that it leaves you breathless and unable to concentrate.

“I will watch it,” Nishimura said.

He became even more curious about "Hanzawa Naoki".

Hibiki Higashino said it was interesting; he was someone who didn't even have the same self-satisfaction as Hikaru no Go.

"Hanzawa Naoki" will definitely exceed his expectations.

……

Higashino and Nishimura were talking quietly, but Kitamoto didn't notice. He was immersed in "Hanzawa Naoki" and undisturbed by the outside world.

"It's because you neglected your duties in the review process!"

"Don't you think you should say something apologetic first?"

Kogizawa slammed his fist on the table more and more frequently, and his tone became increasingly harsh.

His appearance was repulsive, directly referring to Hanzawa Naoki.

Naoki Hanzawa's face turned red, and he remained silent.

a long time……

“I feel…very sorry,” he said.

"Ah!" Kitamura exclaimed, his mouth agape.

Hanzawa conceded.

This workplace superstar actually compromised with his boss, becoming like most working-class people.

He was extremely disappointed.

The once dignified and unique Hanzawa, who demanded that his superior kowtow and apologize, seems to have had his edges smoothed out.

Seeing Hanzawa bow, Koki revealed a smug smile. He looked around and showed off his victory to his colleagues.

Hanzawa continued, "Regarding this loan, it is true... it is true that I bear part of the responsibility, and I apologize for that."

Kitamoto was taken aback, "A portion..."

He watched as Hanzawa straightened up, revealing a familiar smile, and said with righteous indignation, "If you two intend to place all the blame on me, then I cannot accept it!"

Hanzawa Naoki has struck back!

"It's about to begin!" Kitamoto sat up straight and watched intently.

Instead of being criticized, criticize others!

Hanzawa Naoki did not get caught up in internal strife; his words, like bullets fired from a Gatling gun, struck Kogiso's body.

He first explained the truth: he didn't have time to review the credit application because it had already been sent to the head office by Asano Tadashi before that.

Furthermore, Asano Tadashi has stated that he will take full responsibility for any problems that arise.

"Are you trying to shift all the blame onto your superiors?"

Kogiso asked in return.

Hanzawa Naoki replied quickly, as if he hadn't thought about it at all.

They blocked Ogiso and another person.

Kogiri started arguing unreasonably, saying, "It seems you haven't reflected on your actions at all!"

"If reflecting on my actions would bring me 500 million from the sky, then of course I would reflect on my actions. But sorry, I don't want to waste my time," Hanzawa Naoki said bluntly. "I don't have time to play house with you guys here. Can we just end this already?"

This investigation is pointless and only wastes Hanzawa Naoki's time.

"Great!" Kitamoto clenched his fist, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.

The initial sense of oppression vanished instantly.

Now, Ogiso actually thinks that Hanzawa Naoki is smearing the reputation of the Industrial Central Bank.

This merged bank is still divided into "yours" and "mine" even now, and doesn't seem like a family at all.

The internal conflicts have deepened.

"Central Industrial Bank... formerly Tokyo First Bank... what does that have to do with me!" Hanzawa was annoyed.

He loved his job as a banker, and his family business was reborn thanks to bank loans.

If loans are used properly, they can save many businesses, such as Makino Seiki, which is featured at the beginning of the manga.

But his colleagues at the bank only knew how to shirk responsibility, engage in internal competition, and split into factions, which made Hanzawa Naoki very angry.

How can the Tokyo Central Bank be run properly while surrounded by these bugs?!

He was beyond furious.

"Don't give me that nonsense based on taking things out of context! I'm talking to you! The recorder!" he yelled.

The person taking notes nearby was startled. He nodded hesitantly and hid behind the computer screen.

"Now I'll say whatever you want to write."

"I will definitely get back that 500 million, please stop causing trouble for me!"

Hanzawa glared at Kogiso and made a spirited declaration.

Chapter 375 Aspiration and Adoration

When Kitamoto got to the part he was enjoying, he was so excited that he couldn't help but slam his hand on the table.

With a loud "bang!"

Nishimura had something he was ashamed to ask Higashino Hibiki. He hesitated, unsure how to bring it up, before being startled by a loud bang and jumping up.

"What are you doing, Kitamoto?" He touched his chest, his heart pounding, almost having a heart attack from fright.

Kitamoto quickly apologized.

Seeing Hanzawa Naoki's domineering aura as he refuted Ogiso, he left the head office with an air of nonchalance, pulling off his tie and putting on a decisive tie.

Naoki Hanzawa pursed his lips, brimming with confidence, and resolutely continued on his path.

Zhongxi followed closely behind him.

This scene left Kitamoto speechless with admiration, and he couldn't help but be moved.

Nishimura waved his hand, forgiving him.

Hibiki Higashino looked at Nishimura with a puzzled expression. "What were you thinking about just now? You seemed so engrossed in it."

"I...I..." Nishimura scratched the back of his head sheepishly, "I wasn't thinking about anything."

He didn't dare look at Higashino Hibiki, his head tilted back. "Ah, the lights in this house are really bright."

Higashino Hibiki was exasperated when the shopkeeper walked by and interrupted his questioning.

"I'm so sorry, is there anything you're unhappy about?"

Kitamoto apologized without batting an eye, and the three of them left the restaurant.

School had let out, and many students were walking on the street.

Looking at the long, white legs lining the street, Nishimura couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! Tokyo students' skirts are still so short."

Higashino and Kitamoto quickly walked away, shaking him off.

They are not with that pervert.

"Higashino, Kitamoto, slow down!"

Nishimura called out, but they ignored him.

Kitamoto said, "Higashino, 'Hanzawa Naoki' is a very exciting manga. In my opinion, it is more exciting than all the workplace manga of the Heisei era."

No manga has ever moved him more than "Hanzawa Naoki".

Although lawyers are the most knowledgeable about the law, he, as a lawyer, still has to work overtime and swallow his pride in the workplace.
