Full-time comic artist

“We’ve been losing data since day one, so we’ve compiled a complete list of all the files and documents.”

He produced a document that proved the information was complete.

"What I really want to know is, how exactly do you manage your files!"

Are you trying to say that we lost it?

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that!"

"I have never been so insulted!"

"Branch Manager Asano, this is really going too far. This head of the financing department has serious problems."

"Hanzawa, stop making futile struggles! You're tarnishing our branch's reputation!"

"Did you hear that, Hanzawa! Hurry up and admit your mistake!"

The criticisms were incessant.

It was just a storyline in a comic book, yet it made readers extremely tense and shudder.

Some cartoonists have said that comics are an art of exaggeration.

To give readers a greater sense of immersion, comics are always different from reality, with richer expressions that create a higher level of experience.

In One Piece, when a character is shocked, their lower jaw will stick to the ground.

In "Hanzawa Naoki," the people who come to inspect the store are all drawn with demonic faces, their muscles are abnormally developed, and they are twisted into terrifying shapes.

"It's very similar to the style of the criminals in Ace Attorney after their identities are revealed."

Although it may seem ridiculous on its own, it becomes quite engaging when you immerse yourself in the storyline.

Unlike novels, which can use delicate writing to evoke empathy in readers, comics rely on their unique art form—drawing—to showcase their most special aspect.

However, this is something only capable cartoonists can use.

It's easy to end up with a dog instead of a tiger.

……

This morning, Hanzawa Naoki photographed all the materials along with today's morning paper, including the lost meeting minutes.

This proves that the meeting minutes were still available as of this morning.

"Please allow me to check the belongings of everyone present."

His true intentions were revealed.

This request was very impolite, but Koki thought he was being clever and, in order to give Hanzawa a false sense of security, arranged for Hanzawa's friend, Watari Shinobu, to be among the people traveling with him.

Watari Shinobu stood up. "I can't stand being insulted like this."

“Yes,” one of the inspectors echoed.

"Come on, everyone, let's prove our innocence by opening the bag and letting him see clearly."

Watari Shinobu scattered the contents of her handbag onto the table, pretending to scold, "If you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. You'll know you're wrong soon enough, Hanzawa!"

After saying that, he smiled and raised an eyebrow at Banze.

……

"What a great teammate! Unlike you, you little devil, who lied to me."

Kuriyama Minami was deeply moved, and her long-suppressed emotions finally subsided.

The person who has been helping Hanzawa Naoki all along, Watari Shinobu, is finally putting his skills to use!

Seeing his veiled sarcasm and veiled malice, Kuriyama Minami couldn't help but laugh.

He also couldn't resist making a sarcastic remark about his friend Guitou.

Gui Tou lowered his head and said, "It's all because of my excessive vanity."

……

In the manga, Hanzawa Naoki checks everything and finds nothing except a yellowed "Youth Training Manual".

However, there was one person who was not checked.

That person was Kogiso.

Sure enough, the missing meeting minutes were in Ogiso's file folder.

Hanzawa threw the file away and demanded sharply, "What's going on here? Please explain yourself properly."

"Ogiso!"

The three characters "小木曾" were widened and enlarged, firmly occupying a portion of the frame.

It's as if it's showcasing Hanzawa Naoki's desperate questioning.

Tori Akino Mirai poured her heartfelt emotions into these three words.

It made the readers incredibly happy.

It's even more exciting than "Dissent!!!"

Xiao Mu remained unrepentant and demanded evidence.

Zhongxi produced the audio file.

He once witnessed Ogiso stealing documents and was threatened by Ogiso. He then secretly recorded Ogiso's words.

Everything has come to light.

Xiao Mu went from being furious to being powerless, limp, and speechless.

Hanzawa Naoki has achieved a resounding victory!

The manga depicts Hanzawa's pursuit of victory.

"I demand that you apologize for the insults and abuse you have inflicted on us over the past three days!"

"I will send a letter of apology later..."

"Now! Immediately! Right now!"

"Sorry……"

"Can't you even utter a word of defense? Aren't you ashamed?"

Everything has been reversed, and the readers found it quite enjoyable.

Some might think that Hanzawa is in the right and not bothering anyone, but the readers who were oppressed were so happy!

"Even though it's a comic, it's so much fun to read!"

"Hanzawa is so assertive, I love it!"

"He was so imposing in the meeting room that everyone else was speechless. Hanzawa was like a lion surveying his territory. It was amazing."

"Ahhh! This is so exciting!"

"Down beats up! Down beats up!"

……

This is the most exhilarating chapter of "Hanzawa Naoki" so far. Although the backstory of Asano Tadashi is still unresolved, it's exciting enough.

In the editorial department of Weekly Youth Jump, many editors are busy with their own work, as well as receiving numerous calls from readers.

The feedback from readers of "Hanzawa Naoki" came in droves.

Tanaka Jun didn't have time to work as the editor-in-chief; instead, he worked with Go to organize readers' feedback.

Some of the suggestions were quite outrageous.

For example, something like, "Draw more of Hanzawa Hana's storyline."

"Slow down the pace, my heart is pounding. I prefer a more relaxed pace."

"Give Hanzawa Naoki a confidante! Hanzawa Hana isn't interesting at all!"

None of this feedback is acceptable; just take a look and move on.

Of course, the feedback was mostly positive.

Readers displayed an unusual desire to share, with many mailing their thoughts to the editorial department of Weekly Young Jump.

99% of the reviews are positive.

Tanaka Jun and Go looked at each other.

"Hey, don't you think 'Hanzawa Naoki' should be published as a standalone book?"

His words startled Xiang: "Editor-in-chief, 'Hanzawa Naoki' has only been serialized for 11 chapters."

“Yes, there are only 11 episodes,” Tanaka Jun suddenly said, his enthusiasm waning. “There’s no way to schedule an anime adaptation for the time being.”

The plot is too short, so production had to stop shortly after it started and wait for the original work.

It should have at least 24 episodes of content.

"Huh? It's going to be animated!" Go was taken aback; Tanaka Jun's thoughts had already jumped to the idea of ​​it being animated.

In other words, the release of the standalone volume was inevitable and had to be done.

"The anime adaptation of 'Hanzawa Naoki'..." Go stroked his chin, "...I can't imagine what the scenes would be like..."

“Actually, Editor-in-Chief,” he said seriously, “Hanzawa Naoki is more suited to a TV drama adaptation!”

Chapter 381 Matters related to the TV series "Hanzawa Naoki"

"Are you filming a TV series?"

"Yes, the editor-in-chief is very interested."

Xiang sat down in front of Higashino Hibiki, picked up his teacup and took a sip. The weather had been terribly hot lately, and it was time for editors like him, who needed to travel back and forth, to suffer.

"Which TV station does Editor-in-Chief Tanaka favor?"

Japan doesn't have as many television stations as China; there are only five: Fuji Television, TV Asahi, TV Tokyo, TBS, and Nippon Television.

However, the competition is quite fierce. Before the 80s, TBS was firmly in the top spot in viewership ratings, but after the 80s, Fuji Television rose to prominence, and then in 2000, TV Asahi reaffirmed its viewership advantage through reforms.
