Tokyo: Earth Online Manga Artist.

Eri Aragaki was a little embarrassed at this moment, but since she was a plagiarist and copied other people's works, she didn't feel like she was afraid of having her dark history seen or being publicly executed.

"That's right, it's that work."

So she said directly, "But it might not be the type of manga that girls like Erina would like."

Erina Aragaki became even more curious and said, "Since it's a manga by Naka-san, I'll definitely like it."

She turned to the first page of Attack on Titan and started reading.

Eri Aragaki didn't disturb her and continued eating.

A few minutes later, Erina Aragaki let out an "Ah!"

"Humanity's natural enemy... giants?"

A few minutes later, she bit her lip and said, "That's terrible..."

A few minutes later, her expression became tense.

"Is it possible that humanity still lacks the power to contend with the Titans?"

Eri Aragaki couldn't help but laugh as she watched her sister's changing expression.

Erina Aragaki continued reading, becoming increasingly engrossed.

Then came the relentless onslaught of attacks; Eren's class, his comrades, were killed and devoured by Titans one by one...

"Nai-san... this is too cruel..."

She couldn't help but say it.

Eri Aragaki said, "I told you I might not be the type of girl girls like."

Erina Aragaki shook her head and said, "No, it's very good. Although it's cruel, I can't stop watching."

She continued flipping through the pages.

She held her breath as she read the pages about the Battle of Trost.

She let out a long sigh of relief when she turned the last page.

Then she looked up at Eri Aragaki, her eyes filled with adoration.

"Nai-san, you're amazing! This manga is so good!"

Eri Aragaki smiled and said, "Thank you."

"But... I want to know what happens next..."

Erina Aragaki asked, "Um, will you be drawing this series again, Erina-san?"

"Don't worry, this is the next work I'll be serializing."

Eri Aragaki said with a smile, "I'm still drawing the rest of the story. You'll find out when the serialization starts."

"That's great."

Holding the magazine, Erina Aragaki excitedly said, "I'll read it every week! I want to be your first fan, Erina-san! You have to work hard to draw it then!"

Eri Aragaki said, "Don't worry."

She raised the can of Coke and said, "Come on, cheers, to celebrate your sister becoming a cartoonist."

Erina Aragaki also picked up her own Coke can and bumped it against the glass.

"Cheers."

The two sisters raised their glasses and enjoyed a hearty drink while also enjoying their sumptuous dinner.

Meanwhile, a new issue of Weekly Shonen Jump was released, and naturally many manga fans bought it and read it on the same day.

However, most manga fans don't really care about the winners of the new Tezuka Award.

The main reason is that the Tezuka Prize is an annual competition, sometimes even held twice a year.

Secondly, the works for the Tezuka Award were all by unknown new manga artists.

For ordinary comic book fans, they are more concerned about popular serialized comics.

Therefore, they don't care too much about what the winning work of the Tezuka Award is.

I will only read the Tezuka Award-winning work in the supplementary section after I have finished reading the other serialized works.

After all, it's free to watch it.

Therefore, after reading the latest issue of Weekly Shonen Jump, manga fans...

The plots of this issue of popular manga series are being hotly debated on major Japanese ACG online platforms such as 2ch and the Weekly Shonen Jump forum.

"This week's Naruto episode was so exciting! Jiraiya finally made his move, but just who is Pain?"

"It seems like Jiraiya might not come back after this trip; it feels like a flag being raised."

"In this week's One Piece episode, Moria got punched away by Luffy, that was so satisfying! But there's bound to be an even bigger boss coming up, right?"

"Gecko Moria is just an appetizer. The real boss is Kaido. It's too early for Luffy to fight Kaido now."

"This week's Claymore match is finally Clare facing Priscilla. We've been waiting for this battle for so long."

"Priscilla is too strong, can Clare really win?"

"Tsuna has finally awakened! The Dying Will Flame is so cool..."

"The plot of 'Katekyo Hitman Reborn!' has been pacing well lately, and it's getting more and more exciting."

"Where's the Bleach this week? Ichigo's fight with Grimmjow was so intense, his Hollowfication power was too strong."

"Grimmjow is the sixth Espada, and there are even stronger Espadas to come. Ichigo still needs to level up."

"Ryoma Echizen's new move is outrageous! Is this even still tennis???"

"You're only just finding out? Prince of Tennis has been a superpower manga for a long time."

"The republic over there calls it murder tennis, and I have to admit they're quite right."

"Saint Seiya: Next Dimension has been updated this week. Kurumada-sensei is still amazing. Pegasus will always be the strongest."

"The art style of the ND version is a bit different from the original, but the story is still very exciting."

"D.Gray-man had very little screen time this week, mostly focusing on Kanda, but Kanda's past was quite tragic."

"The plot of D.Gray-man has been a bit slow lately, I hope it will speed up."

"The race for Lightspeed Runner #21 this week is too intense. Hiruma's tactics are always unpredictable."

"Lightspeed Runner is my most anticipated sports comic of the week, bar none."

……

In these discussion threads, everyone is happily chatting about their favorite serialized works.

And that's perfectly normal.

These popular serialized manga have always been the mainstay of Weekly Shonen Jump.

The winning works of the Tezuka Award are not discussed by many people.

After all... these are just short works submitted by new comic artists.

However, the Tezuka Award still attracts attention.

For example, some comic fans who prefer to support promising new comic artists, as well as other comic artists in the industry and comic enthusiasts who aspire to become comic artists.

They gradually started discussing the winning works of this year's Tezuka Award online—

"After reading this year's Tezuka Award winner, Attack on Titan is amazing. It's the strongest new work I've seen in recent years."

"Really? Is it that exaggerated? I haven't seen it yet."

"It's no exaggeration to say that the drawing skills, paneling, and design are all top-notch. You can tell just by looking at the judges' comments."

"XD You can't really take the judges' comments seriously, right? Don't all the winning entries in the Tezuka Award get praise from the judges?"

"I still think the comments this time were indeed fair, and Toriyama-sensei, Oda-sensei, and others highly praised Attack on Titan and said they looked forward to continuing the series."

"I also watched Attack on Titan, and it's really amazing. The overhead view and the page where the Colossal Titan appears are so impactful."

"Those giants didn't look that scary, but for some reason, I found them much more terrifying than the grotesque monsters in many comics..."

"That's because of the uncanny valley effect, that feeling of something that's clearly a monster but looks so much like a human... it's unsettling."
