Cartoonists and their assistants

After reading it, she didn't offer any constructive feedback on the work, but instead gave a direct evaluation.

Because she already trusted Yuriko Tsukishita to a very high degree.

"Of course, serialization is no longer a challenge for us."

Eriri proudly spread her hands out.

"Don't get too cocky, or you'll be proven wrong."

Mizuki Machi glanced at her.

"That's called confidence! Zhenzhi, that's exactly what you lack."

The girl held up a finger and shook it.

"Alright, I'll take the manuscript with me now. I'll let you know if there's any further news."

The editor didn't stay long before getting busy with her work.

Mid June.

With the winners of the first half of the year's Newcomer Awards now decided, the meeting for the next serialization of "Monthly Shonen Ganga" is about to begin.

"The 'Monthly Shonen Gangan' serialization meeting will now begin. I, Minamoto, will chair the meeting. There are sixteen nominated works in total, and we will discuss them in the order they were copied..."

Compared to previous meetings, this time Minamoto Matome, who was promoted to deputy editor-in-chief, took on the role of chairing the meeting.

People gradually discussed and voted on the works they thought had potential.

Finally, it came down to Minano Matsumura.

"Next up is Yuriko Tsukishita's new work, 'Your Lie in April,' which I edited. This is the second work by both authors, and their progress is evident to everyone..."

"Now, please give your opinions."

Editor-in-Chief Jiang Kou said.

"It seems to be in the same style as 'Anohana', and I believe the teacher will continue to shine on this path."

"The artwork has improved significantly compared to my debut work, and the content in the early episodes is also fine, especially the emotional storyline, which I feel is very interesting."

"The teacher's storytelling skills have also improved. The atmosphere of sadness and joy is blended very well, making people feel like they are in a very special state at all times."

"The female lead's description is brilliant and adorable. I love Kaori Miyazono! Please make sure your 'Your Lie in April' series continues!"

"Don't exaggerate like that, okay? Be serious!"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Someone's remark made everyone laugh.

Afterwards, everyone completed the vote, and the result is self-evident.

As a rising star, Yuriko Tsukishita is highly favored by everyone. Even if the quality of her works is a little lacking, they will still consider letting them pass, let alone the opening chapter, which is almost excellent in every aspect compared to her previous works.

Minamoto immediately relayed the news after the meeting.

......

In the afternoon, the two waited until sunset, and finally received good news.

"As expected, it was approved for serialization."

Eriri casually tossed her phone aside, her excitement not particularly intense.

After all, this isn't the first time.

"The serialization will start again next month."

Mizuki Machi lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling, her voice weak.

He was unwilling, but he was helplessly pushed forward.

In today's society, is it really that hard to just lie down and relax?

"Even more important than that is that 'Anohana' will premiere in two weeks! The broadcast time has been confirmed, it's the prime time slot of 9 pm... Ah, I wonder how well it will be done."

Eriri turned her head and looked at them with an anxious expression.

"Didn't Miss Aoi say that she would send over the sample tapes before the broadcast? Then we'll know the quality for sure."

He thought for a moment and said.

"Alright, if I'm mentally prepared, I can accept even the worst outcome... But, that's probably impossible! They all promised me!"

The girl was still there, looking anxious and uncertain, which made him shake his head.

"Don't worry, you always overthink and worry too much... That's what Eriri can't do."

128. The anime premiered.

"Mitsuki, Sawamura, my sister's here! Why aren't you coming out to welcome her?"

The door opened, and Aoi Makina raised her arm with great effort, looking languid.

"Alright, hand over the items, and you can leave."

Eriri coldly and ruthlessly shook her hand.

"Oh no, why is it like this~"

Miss Kui pouted and said aggrievedly.

"She was just joking, Miss Aoi, please come in."

Only then did Mizuki Machi speak up and step aside.

"Hehe, you're a true bro, Mizuki~"

Miss Kui immediately smiled and went inside.

"Clap."

The door is closed.

"Is this the sample tape for the first episode?"

Eriri watched as the other person pulled out a videotape and asked excitedly.

"Yes."

Aoi Makina nodded, inserted the videotape into the player, and then clicked the button to play it.

The three of them sat down in front of the television to watch.

Previously, the voice actors recorded their lines using storyboards, so Mizuki Machi and Eriri never got a full look at the anime. Now, they finally have the opportunity, and they are both very excited.

Vibrant colors, vivid characters, captivating voices, lifelike movements, exquisite art style...

Even after watching only a small portion of the animation, Mizuki Machi felt that the quality of this animation was on a completely different level from that of her previous life.

This effect can only be achieved with sufficient funding and a strong production team.

Even without considering the story, this high-quality production is enough to attract a lot of viewers!

"awesome!"

Eriri's eyes reflected the scenes from the anime, and she couldn't help but make a sound.

This sense of satisfaction only changed at the end of the first episode.

The moment Jinta Yadomi realized what was happening, that familiar background music started playing.

The combined singing of several female voice actresses is like giving the characters a soul through animation; it serves the same purpose.

That inexplicable surge of emotion was even stronger than before.

The girl's eyes quickly welled up with tears, the lyrics reminding her of that summer two years ago, her first meeting with her childhood sweetheart, and her first time going home...

Seriously, that felt so good!

I listened until the end credits rolled.

"Eri, why are you crying?"

Mizuki Maki turned his head away and said jokingly.

"No, no, it's just that I got some sand in my eye!"

Eriri quickly reached out and wiped away the tears from her eyes.

"So what if you cried? Don't worry, I won't laugh at you for being childish. It was really touching."

He patted the girl on the shoulder and comforted her.

Even he had moments of wavering resolve, let alone the young girl who had struggled for so long for this cause.

"Woo..."

The girl actually burst into tears.

"Zhenzhi, did you see that?! Our work has finally been animated! And the results are amazing!"

"Yes, yes, I saw it."

He responded quickly.

"I deserve a lot of credit for this!"

Miss Aoi stood aside, eager to take credit.

"Thank you, Miss Aoi."

Seeing that the other had kept their word and delivered a satisfactory result, the two expressed their heartfelt gratitude.

"I'm so happy to hear you two say that. It's a pity that our collaboration has to end here. I hope there will be opportunities to work with you two again in the future."

Aoi Makina looked regretful, walked over, and shook hands with the two of them.

"Don't worry, we won't stop here. There will be a second part, a third part... If Miss Aoi hasn't been kicked out of the team by then, we will still have the opportunity to continue working together."

Eriri turned her tears into a smile.

"Don't say such hurtful things~ I'll work harder from now on~"

Miss Kui's face darkened.

"I hope I can see Miss Aoi again."

Mizuki Machi delivered another blow.

"Well then, goodbye~"

Aoi Makina took the sample tape and waved goodbye.

At the villa entrance, the two watched each other leave, then looked at each other and laughed.

The animation adaptation was a huge success!

......

Saturday night, a little after eight o'clock.

Fans of "Anohana: The Flower We Saw That Day" or regular viewers of the TV station are already glued to their TVs.
