Tokyo: Earth Online Manga Artist.

Chapter 119 Aragaki Rashomon

As Eri Aragaki watched the interactive segments on the main stage from backstage, she couldn't help but wonder if Attack on Titan would be animated by this time next year. If it were, she figured she could have the same treatment.

The interactive segment on the main stage soon came to an end, and the event gradually drew to a close.

However, after the announcement, the host reminded the audience that there would be an autograph session with the comic artists, but they would need to wait at each comic booth.

Upon hearing this, Lin Beimiao, who was sitting in the audience, said to Wang Haoxuan and Xu Shaoze beside him, "I'm planning to go to Pear Girl's place for an autograph first, and then go to Oda's place. Are you guys doing the same thing?"

Xu Shaoze shook his head. "I still want Kubo Tite's autograph more. I'll go to the 'Bleach' autograph session first."

Not all readers are so eager. Xu Shaoze himself has a girlfriend, so although he thinks Aragaki Eri is very beautiful, he is not a fan of Attack on Titan, so he doesn't really want Aragaki Eri's autograph.

Wang Haoxuan was different. He said directly, "Then I'll go with Bei Miao to get Li Mei's autograph first, and then I'll go get autographs from the other comic artists."

Lin Beimiao nodded immediately, "Okay, then let's separate for a while."

Soon after, during the lunch break...

The organizer then approached Eri Aragaki and said, "Ms. Eri, it's almost time for the autograph session. Please head to the Attack on Titan venue with your three assistants to prepare."

Eri Aragaki had no objections, "Okay, I'll be right there."

She turned around and, together with Erina, Natsume Akane, and Takeda Ayane, under the protection of security personnel arranged by the organizers, went to the Attack on Titan booth to begin the autograph session.

The fans were incredibly enthusiastic, constantly crowding around to wave and shout, "Teacher Pear! I'm your fan!"

"Teacher Pear, you're so beautiful!"

"And the one next to Ms. Pear, is that her younger sister? She's very pretty too!"

"Those two are Ms. Pear's assistants, and they're so pretty too."

"Teacher Pear is so tall, she must be almost 1.7 meters tall."

"Ms. Pear! I like you!"

Eri Aragaki waved to the enthusiastic fans and even shook hands with some of the fans in the front row.

However, because there was a risk of being pulled down by enthusiastic fans, security personnel quickly stopped her and advised Eri Aragaki not to do such a thing.

Okay, Eri Aragaki understood perfectly, and then she didn't actively contact those fans anymore.

Sure enough, after Eri Aragaki touched hands with several fans, the fans became even more enthusiastic.

After all, it was a beautiful girl comic artist touching hands with them, so the lucky few people were all smiles, and the others squeezed even harder.

Soon, Eri Aragaki arrived at the Attack on Titan booth, ready to sign autographs for her fans.

The venue was quite lively at the moment, as more than a dozen popular comic artists, as well as other comic artists with moderate popularity, were holding autograph sessions.

As previously arranged, Lin Beimiao and Wang Haoxuan went to the Attack on Titan booth to ask for Eri Aragaki's autograph and a photo.

Surprisingly, there were a lot of fans queuing up for Attack on Titan.

Lin Beimiao glanced at the booths next to him and found that the number of fans queuing for Attack on Titan was no less than the number of fans queuing for Naruto and Bleach.

That's outrageous!

One Piece undoubtedly has the most fans asking for autographs, with Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece being roughly the same, but Bleach and Naruto are slightly inferior.

However, the number of fans queuing up for Attack on Titan is no less than that for Bleach or Naruto.

Ultimately, it's just that Eri Aragaki, this beautiful manga artist, is too eye-catching.

The main point is that you can't just get an autograph from one manga artist, so many fans of Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece were tempted by the artist's appearance and switched sides immediately.

Especially since this isn't the first time Oda, Kishimoto, and Tite Kubo have held autograph sessions.

Their autographs weren't scarce; many fans of Naruto and One Piece had already gotten theirs at the event.

But this is Eri Aragaki's first time signing an autograph, which makes it quite rare.

This resulted in many audience members queuing up at the Attack on Titan show.

Moreover, Eri Aragaki is not only a beautiful girl manga artist, but she is also quite different from what people imagine. She is very enthusiastic, even towards male fans.

This could be attributed to her own personality, which is why she doesn't seem to mind her male fans.

She showed great respect for her fans, who were her bread and butter, by shaking hands, signing autographs, and taking photos with them, making the process quite smooth.

They would even take the initiative to make some gestures when taking photos, including offering their hearts as a gesture, as well as various gestures that became popular in later generations, such as making a heart shape or a "yes" sign.

This made the fans even happier, and those who got the autographs all expressed their joy.

"Teacher Pear is so beautiful, she's just as beautiful up close!"

"And Ms. Riko is such a nice person. She would shake my hand and even make a heart shape with her hands for me, something like that!"

"Teacher Riko is so wonderful! I'd give my heart for her!!"

"I'd give my heart to Riko-sensei!!"

"Pear teacher is so beautiful, and her drawing skills are top-notch. She not only signed autographs, but also agreed to draw a portrait of Ellen for me."

"Then I'm going to get the autograph from 'I Don't Eat Pears' too!"

"I even got a photo with Teacher Pear! That's awesome!"

"Me too!"

Eri Aragaki's unintentional actions were still too impactful. In any case, the other audience members were still hesitant about whose autograph to get first.

It seems like there are really long lines at any comic artist's autograph session these days.

But when they heard what the fans who had gotten autographs said, they immediately stopped hesitating and lined up to get Eri Aragaki's autograph.

The main question is, who can resist getting close to a beautiful manga artist?

In particular, this shoujo manga artist provides a lot of emotional value; she's not the kind of amateur who puts on a bad face or doesn't actively cooperate.

As a result, the autograph lines for Attack on Titan started to get longer and longer.

However, later on, many readers who originally planned to queue changed their minds and did not join the queue when they saw how long it was, which prevented the Attack on Titan fan queue from continuing to lengthen.

Even so, looking at the entire venue, you can see that the number of fans queuing up for Eri Aragaki's side is not much less than that for Naruto & Bleach and One Piece.

Fortunately, Lin Beimiao and Wang Haoxuan went straight to the Attack on Titan booth from the start.

So they lined up at the front of the queue very early. Although there were dozens of fans ahead of them, compared to the long line of hundreds of people behind them, their order was considered good.

However, Lin Beimiao waited for more than ten minutes before it was finally his turn.

When he finally got to see him, he stepped forward with some excitement.

Eri Aragaki was sitting in front of the booth. Her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her skin was fair. You could see the loose powder on her face, but her makeup was obviously not heavy. However, it was hard to hide her natural beauty.

Lin Beimiao was once again struck by Aragaki Eri's beauty at such close range.

"Hello there."

Eri Aragaki, on the other hand, had already adopted a rather formulaic approach, shouting.

"Hello, Ms. Pear, I'm your fan."

Lin Beimiao also instinctively replied hastily, "I'm actually an international student from the Republic, and I've always loved Attack on Titan."

"A fan from the Republic?"

Eri Aragaki paused for a moment, then pondered with a strange look in her eyes.

She then decided to say, "Thank you so much, thank you for your continued support of Attack on Titan."

Lin Beimiao was immediately stunned, because—Aragaki Eri spoke these words in Chinese, and with exceptional fluency!

It's basically like the Chinese spoken by people from the People's Republic of China, except that there's a slight oddness in the tone, and you can definitely feel that it's the accent of a Japanese person speaking.

This is also because Eri Aragaki really hasn't spoken Chinese for a long time, and the tones of Japanese and Chinese are indeed different, so her first part sounded a bit strange, but the rest was quite fluent.

Eri Aragaki had just thought about it briefly, and it's nothing, so—

Aragaki Raf has been decided to be released.

"Pear Girl, can you speak Chinese?"

Lin Beimiao then asked in surprise in Chinese.

"I really like the culture of the People's Republic of China, so I taught myself Chinese."

Eri Aragaki immediately smiled and said, "Eri-chan? Is that a nickname you guys gave me? By the way, give me the notebook first and I'll sign it for you."

It's a bit strange to be called "Pear Girl" or something, but well, it's not a bad nickname.

It's better than being called an "old thief" or an "old witch".

"Yes, readers in our republic love your comics, not only 'Attack on Titan,' but also 'Wu Song' and 'Fog Hill of Five Elements'!"

Lin Beimiao first handed over the Attack on Titan manga, then excitedly said, "We call you Pear Girl over there; it's a way of showing our affection for you."

"I'm so happy, thank you so much for your support."

Eri Aragaki immediately signed her name earnestly, then asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

Lin Beimiao shook his head and said with some concern, "Li Mei, signing autographs must be tiring. I won't ask for anything else, but I'm really grateful that you like the culture of the People's Republic of China!"

He was quite excited at the moment. Eri Aragaki could actually speak Chinese. It seemed that she really liked the culture of the Republic. She liked it so much that she even learned Chinese, which is known to be very difficult to learn.

"Thank you for your concern."

Eri Aragaki was also somewhat touched, although she didn't feel too tired from signing autographs at the moment.

Perhaps it's because her physique and strength have improved, but she doesn't feel tired at all.

"Let's take a group photo then."

Eri Aragaki spoke up after being reminded by a staff member.

After all, time is limited.

Then the staff next to them started arranging a group photo.

Even after Lin Beimiao received the group photo and autograph and left under the arrangement of the security personnel, he still felt a sense of elation.

Looking at the photo of him and Eri Aragaki in front of him, and the signed copy of "Attack on Titan" in his hand, he smiled with satisfaction.
