My girlfriend is Saiki Kusunoki

"This...this is really the sequel to the vampire clan?"

Miki took a closer look at the manga and felt that something didn't quite look right.

This art style is really terrible; it doesn't look like ONE's work at all, although the original work is indeed credited to ONE.

"Are you sure this isn't fake? ONE-sensei's work is never this ugly."

Miki looked at the man with disgust. She thought to herself, "This guy is definitely a fraud."

"Oh, beautiful lady, you don't believe me? I have ONE's original manuscript here. Take a look if you don't believe me?"

"ONE-sensei's original manuscript?"

Miki glanced at the manuscript in Qin Kou's hand with a puzzled look. Although it was somewhat messy, it was definitely ONE's art style. There was even ONE's signature in the corner.

As a loyal fan, Miki naturally recognized this unique signature.

"Is this really ONE-sensei's original manuscript? How did you end up with something like this?"

"Of course... cough cough, ONE-sensei and I are old friends. You might not believe it, but I'm the ace assistant of JUMP manga artists. I've worked at the homes of several artists, and ONE-sensei is just one of them. This manuscript is a souvenir that ONE-sensei gave me when I left the company. If it weren't for this comic convention, I wouldn't have bothered to bring this out."

"But the internet says that ONE-sensei clearly didn't hire any assistants, right?"

"Hey, you believe what you read online? Are you going to buy it or not? If not, then forget it."

"Buy, buy, buy! I'll buy two, no! Four!"

"Thank you for your patronage, that's ten thousand yuan in total!"

"Ten thousand! Why don't you just rob someone?!"

When Miki heard that this person wanted to charge her 10,000 yen, she was completely stunned.

How can such a low-quality doujinshi cost 10,000 yuan?

Putting aside the quality of the painting, the key issue is that the production quality is also quite poor.

The cover and paper alone exude a strong sense of cheapness. What is this supposed to be?

"Beautiful lady, you should know that this is ONE's work. Once this opportunity is gone, it's gone forever. If you weren't my first customer today, I wouldn't be selling it to you at this price."

"Damn it, I'll buy it, okay?!"

Although she was heartbroken, Miki still decided to pay the money.

After all, this is ONE's work. If it's over, I don't know if I'll still be able to buy it.

"Hehehe, thanks for your patronage."

........................

"Nanzi, have you seen anything fun nearby?"

"That guy over there cosplaying as a coffee jelly looks pretty interesting."

"You're just craving it, aren't you? How about I go buy you some coffee jelly later?"

"Okay! It's a deal."

At that moment, Naoto and Nanako were leisurely strolling around the anime convention. Just as they were about to find a place to eat something, they suddenly saw a group of people running towards a corner.

"Everyone, hurry over there! Someone's selling ONE-sensei's manga over there!"

"What the heck? My comic book?"

Naoto looked in that direction with suspicion, making sure it wasn't their stall.

"What happened? Someone else took my place?"

Chapter 208: Naoto's Burning Fury

"What the heck? My work? I don't recall having any other works for sale."

Looking at the direction the crowd was moving in, Naoto was genuinely confused. When did he suddenly have another manga being serialized? Who on earth was impersonating him?

"Something's off with Naoto."

At this moment, Nanzi also noticed something unusual. The comics that the people who had already bought them were indeed fan-made copies of "Bloodline".

However, apart from one book, Naoto's only doujinshi for the vampires this time is a four-panel comic strip in chibi style. So where did these doujinshi come from?

After exchanging a glance, the two realized that this matter was not so simple.

"Hehehe, I got it! It's an original by ONE!"

At that moment, a fat otaku who had just bought a comic book was happily looking at the comic book in his hand when suddenly, a man wearing a cool leather suit appeared in front of him.

"Excuse me, bro, is that comic book you're holding by ONE?"

"Oh, yes, the shop owner said that this is an authentic work adapted from ONE's original manuscript, and it also has ONE's authorization."

"Really?"

At this moment, Naoto, inside the suit, suddenly turned pale. When had he ever hired anyone else to draw his comics? He should have all the drafts, whether discarded or original, in his possession. How did these people manage to buy his comics? Could it be that someone was impersonating him?

"Hey bro, I'm actually a huge fan of ONE too. Could I take a look at some of the content?"

"Hey bro, you're a fan of ONE too?! That's great! I bought ten copies, take one and take a look."

At that moment, the fat man handed a comic book to Naoto.

Naoto frowned as he looked at the book.

"So bad."

The moment Naoto received the book, he felt that its quality was absolutely terrible.

Let alone comparing it to JUMP's printing plant, even the five-dollar pirated comics that Naoto bought back then were much better than this stuff.

Rather than coming from a printing factory, this kind of thing is more like something someone made by photocopying directly onto paper and then ordering it themselves.

"The original work, ONE?! Are you kidding me? It can't be that ONE himself came to this world, right? No, even if ONE really came to this world, there's no reason for him to draw fanfiction about vampires, is there?"

Naoto then flipped through the contents and found them increasingly familiar. He quickly realized that it was something he had actually drawn before.

"That's strange. Isn't this something I came up with during the training camp? How did it end up here?"

At this moment, Naoto couldn't help but recall that during the training camp, he had created a template using his own drawings to provide a reference for the other manga artists participating in the training.

At that time, since the content of Vampire Clan had already reached the middle and later stages, Naoto himself began to think about how to write the later content of Vampire Clan, so he drew out one of his ideas.

Actually, there was more than just this one draft; there were several other imaginative ideas, all of which were given to the cartoonists for their review.

I eventually collected most of the manuscripts, but it seems that one of them was given to someone else.

Naoto still remembers the past—

"ONE-sensei!!!! Your work is truly one in a million, an absolute masterpiece! It's such an honor to see such a piece! I'll definitely take this manuscript home and keep it as a treasure!"

"Ah, no, that..."

In the training camp venue, Enguchi was desperately clinging to Naoto's leg, crying and pleading, as if he wouldn't get up until Naoto agreed.

Although Naoto really wanted to get the manuscript back, there was just too much of a tight grip on it from Enkou.

Imagine a nearly 200-pound fat man clinging to your leg and refusing to let go—what would that feel like?

Anyway, I feel like I'm going to throw up.

Especially after Yuankou's tears and snot got stuck on his pants and manuscript, Naoto lost all interest in taking them back.

"ONE teacher! Please, please promise me! I won't get up until you print it out! Waaah!"

Since Enguchi had already said that, Naoto felt too embarrassed to refuse. After all, it was just an unimportant idea, and Naoto himself hadn't even figured out how to draw it yet, so he agreed to Enguchi's request.

"Thank you so much, ONE-sensei! I'll definitely keep this as a treasure!"

........................

Upon recalling this, Naoto suddenly remembered that he had given a manuscript to Enguin.

But isn't that manuscript at Yuankou's place?

Could it be that someone saw this manuscript at Yuankou's house and then copied its contents?

"But bro, the quality of this comic is just awful! Did ONE really create something like this?"

"Uh, actually I also felt it was a bit strange, but that boss even brought out ONE's original manuscript, so of course I had to believe him. It even has ONE's signature on it."

Upon hearing this, Naoto realized that something was seriously wrong.

Based on Naoto's understanding of Enguchi's personality, it's absolutely impossible for Enguchi to use Naoto's name to make money, nor would it be possible for him to create such a comic.

Back then, Yuan Kou was the kind of person who would rather go broke than give up drawing comics; he truly loved comics.

"So that means someone stole the manuscript from Yuankou and is making money using my name?!"

Thinking of this, Naoto suddenly felt a fire burning in his heart.

My name was suddenly being used by a group of strange guys. If I hadn't happened to be here at the comic convention, I probably would still be in the dark.

Even in the end, when this group of people realized they had been scammed, they were still the victims.

Fortunately, the straight man discovered it early, otherwise he would have been ruined if it had gone viral online.

"Let me see which blind bastard dares to make money using my name. I'll make sure this guy suffers a fate worse than death!"

At this moment, Naoto suddenly unleashed a terrifying aura, which made the fat otaku standing next to him feel a chill run down his spine.

"Ah Qiu! What's wrong? Why do I feel so cold?"

Meanwhile, Qin Kou San Niao, who was still selling books, was unaware that he was about to face a great disaster.

Chapter 209: An Argument at the Comic Convention

"Futsuki! Futsuki, I'm here!"

"Miki, what are you doing here?"

About an hour passed after the girl named Miki bought the manga that was supposedly drawn by ONE herself.

Meanwhile, Fuyutsuki, who had already gone out, met her friend Miki.

"Winter Moon! You have no idea what amazing things I bought on this trip!"
