I turned reality into a romantic comedy.

"Does Guoning have a lot of anime/manga content?"

Delving into the best of everyday dating life,

"Being a fan of anime and going to anime conventions are not entirely the same thing. The former may not necessarily go to anime conventions, and the latter may not necessarily be a fan of anime. However, if we're talking about how many people are interested, it seems like there have been a significant increase in the last two years. When I chatted with a bunch of people who wanted to join the school's student union at the beginning of last year, many of them said they only became interested because I was organizing a sports festival at school."

"Then the tickets should sell very well?"

"Not necessarily. As I just mentioned, not all anime fans will go to anime conventions. In fact, more than half of otaku don't want to participate in these kinds of social events, especially local ones. Whether it's because they think they'll see acquaintances or because they're worried about whether there's anything to do, I don't think there will be many attendees. We've only registered less than a thousand people so far, but the most likely number of people to show up is around one or two hundred."

"Can I go?"

"Hmm? Does Wenyun want to go take a look too?"

"After all, I'm also a bit of an anime fan, and I've watched some classic anime in the last two years. Besides, didn't Junqian just say that anime conventions aren't really only for anime fans?"

Actually, more than a year ago, Zhu Wenyun had seen Chen Junqian and Gu Linguo at the comic convention through a live streamer, but at that time the two were far away in Shanghai. Now that she has the opportunity to be there in person, she is still very curious whether Chen Junqian and Gu Linguo will announce to the public that they are actually a couple, just like before.

However, this problem was quickly verified.

"If Wenyun wants to go, of course she can. Here, this is the ticket."

As Chen Junqian was rummaging through the drawer to retrieve the tickets, Zhu Wenyun noticed something else hidden in the compartment:

"what is that?"

"Oh, the poster. I'm going to take it to the milk tea shop near the gate after school to put it up. I just printed it out yesterday."

"May I take a look?"

"for you."

The poster, roughly the size of an A4 sheet of paper, was placed on top of the textbook. Zhu Wenyun's eyes immediately fell on the cosplay photo printed in the most prominent position in the middle. She had seen the movie "Your Name," so she recognized the character at a glance. Pointing to the face of the portrait, she asked curiously:

"It seems like I've never asked before, does Junqian also like cosplay?"

"I wouldn't say I like it that much. Just like the topic of anime conventions, whether or not someone goes to anime conventions or knows how to cosplay is not an absolute standard for judging whether an otaku likes anime or manga."

"So you're just playing with Lin Guo?"

"You could say that. After all, at first, she was the one doing the cosplay and I was in charge of taking photos and doing the makeup. But later, I was dragged into cosplaying couple characters together. However, for me personally, the experience was more like wearing matching outfits. Xiaoxi and I might be on the same page in this respect, but I'm a bit more into it than her? I consider myself to be a pretty pure anime/manga fan."

He's even reached a point where he could play the male lead in a romantic comedy for several years in real life.

"I see. So when does the anime convention start?"

"It's this winter break, the exact dates are written on the ticket, ask Yun to remember to come."

"Yes, I'll definitely be there."

Besides Zhu Wenyun, Shen Nianqiu, who is also a fan of anime and manga, also expressed her willingness to attend. When the number of attendees subtly exceeded half, Chen Junqian, feeling that the atmosphere was about to turn into "Hey, I'm going to throw an awesome party, guess who wasn't invited," quickly invited the remaining two in advance.

"Huh? A comic convention? But I know absolutely nothing about anime and manga, can I still go?"

"I did see the poster posted at the entrance of the milk tea shop, but it was photoshopped a bit too much. I didn't really recognize Qinqin."

"Lin Guo told me to Photoshop it to be as heavy as possible. Firstly, that's the style of everyone's cosplay photos these days. Secondly, she said that if I reveal my real name, there might be a lot of... well, fans coming to see me?"

At least in Guoning, a small county, Chen Junqian is indeed considered a minor celebrity.

"But can't everyone see Qinqin every day at school?"

"If I really want to explain, it's just that comic conventions are a convenient place to take photos."

After hearing Chen Junqian's explanation, Xu Youwei leaned back in a gesture of respect.

"Won't Qinqin be able to refuse when a bunch of people ask her to take photos with them?"

"Well, Lin Guo will keep an eye on it for me. After all, it's not like I can't refuse."

"That's good."

Lin Mu, standing next to her, also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, she really didn't understand anime culture. However, after hearing that anime conventions had such a magical social aspect, she suddenly felt a little uneasy.

"If it's winter break, why don't you come with me, Weiwei?"

After all, when it comes to the left and right protectors, the two of them are the most senior and experienced.

"OK, here are the tickets."

In this way, Chen Junqian achieved the feat of sending out five tickets before the pre-sale even started, effectively supplementing Gu Linguo's wallet with a ticket income of up to seventy-five yuan. Anyway, since the problem was basically solved, he was no longer worried about the scene of the six people gathering together.

We should encourage healthy and sustainable development, reject unhealthy and destructive practices, and control these developments to a certain scale before utilizing them for our own benefit. We should view these developments from a sustainable development perspective and avoid exploiting them to the point of exhaustion.

The winter break of 2017 has arrived as scheduled. Considering that next year's winter break will most likely involve making up classes until close to the Chinese New Year, then this year's winter break will be the last normal winter break for this year's graduating class of high school students. It's almost like a long break, since they will likely have to make up classes again next summer.

I'm going to be a senior in high school soon.

Chen Junqian, who had already completed half of his three years of high school, could already sense what his relatives would talk about at the dinner table during the Spring Festival this year. He suddenly felt a sense of unreality, perhaps because he was getting closer to the era of his rebirth? He couldn't explain it to himself for a moment. The only thing he could feel was the warm body temperature lying on his chest, just like a kitten that always wanted to snuggle into his arms or a warm place like a blanket in winter. His sister had gotten used to this posture.

However, instead of his thighs being draped over her, she was lying between his chest and legs. Chen Junqian didn't know whether the female lead in the yukata in the summer romantic comedy was going commando, but he could clearly feel or see that the younger sister in the pajamas in the winter romantic comedy was like that. In the warm, air-conditioned room, he suddenly felt a little thirsty.

But today wasn't a good day to laze around in bed with his sister. After all, they had to go to a comic convention later, and unlike other visitors, Chen Junqian, as the organizer, had to get in early, so they did have to get up earlier.

Awakened by Chen Junqian's movement of getting up, Chen Xi also rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up in bed. Her cascading black hair was a little messy, falling to her waist and spreading on the sheets. Her collar and cuffs were also rolled up. If the "fanservice" achievement could be counted upwards, it would probably have surpassed the number of times the "feeding play" achievement had been triggered in the past two years. After all, even the most stingy childhood friend has started to become generous, not to mention her younger sister every morning.

"...Is my brother going to the comic convention?"

My sister, still half-asleep and yawning lazily in bed, continued talking as she flopped back onto the pillow:

"You go first, I want to sleep a little longer."

"Okay, Xiaoxi, go back to sleep. I'm leaving now."

After carefully tucking his younger sister in, Chen Junqian quietly left the room. When he finished washing up and went out, Gu Linguo was already waiting there.

Although they had just taken cosplay photos not long ago, neither Chen Junqian nor Gu Linguo planned to cosplay today. After all, they were essentially the organizers and staff for today's event, and there were already not enough people. If they cosplayed and people chased after them asking if they could take photos with them, it would be a disaster. So in the end, they both went out in casual clothes.

Is it more painful to cosplay in the summer or in the winter?

While riding a bicycle with Chen Junqian by the waist, on the way to the venue, Gu Linguo suddenly asked this question again.

"It depends on the situation, but if I had to say, it would probably be summer? After all, most of the characters' clothes are quite thick. Although there is air conditioning in the venue, people basically wear them all the time, and they sweat a lot after a long day, especially those with face coverings and armor."

"Indeed."

However, Guo Ning doesn't need to worry about this aspect at this anime convention. After all, a certain Weather Child, no, I should say Weather's father, has already set the conditions in advance, so the weather today is quite pleasant, allowing all the cosplayers present to put in less effort.

As per their initial assignment, Gu Lingguo was to set up the equipment for the screening, while Chen Junqian was mainly responsible for maintaining order in the hall. After all, there are amazing people in the world of anime who make people exclaim, "It's because of people like you that we otaku are misunderstood!" If anything unexpected happens, he can step in to coordinate or resolve it immediately.

Incidentally, after their discussion, the final movie they decided on was "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K.", a half-year anime that had just finished airing last year. The reasons for choosing it were simple: firstly, comedy anime are easy to get into the mood; secondly, it's an episodic series, so once you know the characters, you can watch it from any point in the series. Comedy movies are definitely more fun when watched with others.

Limited by the size of the venue and the number of visitors, this comic convention held in a small county town was destined to be nothing special to visit. In fact, most comic conventions are like that. So soon, the crowd began to flow towards the screening room. Even Chen Junqian, who was standing outside, could clearly hear the laughter coming from inside.

However, he couldn't go in and watch with everyone because, as noon approached, his leading ladies began to arrive at the scene one after another.

"Wow, there's Balala the Fairies! So this is considered anime/manga?"

Lin Mu, who came with Xu Youwei, saw two cosplayers dressed in blue and green as soon as she entered, and exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't kick Chinese animation out of the world of anime, hey! Besides, I've been really enjoying watching 'Fox Spirit Matchmaker' lately."

"Oh, so you can go up and take pictures with anyone you want?"

"As long as Mumu goes up and says, 'Teacher, teacher, can we take a picture together?', it should be fine."

"Then I'll go."

And so, despite it being his first time at a comic convention, Lin Mu quickly began his stamp collecting career thanks to his natural adaptability, and Xu Youwei was also pulled over to take photos.

Shen Nianqiu and Zhu Wenyun arrived a little later, mainly because someone had only arrived in Guoning the night before and then made a phone call to drag Chen Junqian over. It was only because Chen Junqian was physically fit that he was able to get up and continue maintaining order at the comic convention after only a few hours of sleep. The two girls had obviously overslept and were yawning the whole way over.

"...Is there a rest area?"

"Isn't it a bit too much to just go to sleep as soon as you arrive at a comic convention?"

"Just coming here is already showing your support, right, Wenjun?"

The literary girl initially seemed to still want to come and gather material, but yawning and drowsiness are indeed contagious, so she couldn't hold on any longer. Chen Junqian had no choice but to drag the two of them, one in each arm, to the staff break room so they could catch up on some sleep.

However, compared to the two who showed up, the younger sister was more direct in canceling. In the end, she sent Chen Junqian a text message in a daze saying that she was too lazy to go and then went back to sleep. Hey, hey, hey, what did you do last night?

Regardless, Chen Junqian was temporarily free. Just then, the crowd outside had already gathered inside the theater, so he followed them in. He saw Saiki Kusuo on the big screen dealing with various unexpected situations with a blank expression. Several characters were causing a commotion due to misunderstandings, which made the whole theater laugh. Several girls who seemed to have never seen this anime before initially watched quietly, but when the plot featured exaggerated misunderstandings and contrasts, they finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"So this is the style."

A bystander immediately chimed in:

"Yes, the male lead appears very calm on the surface, but he actually deals with all sorts of troubles every day. I love this kind of scathing commentary style."

"The voice actor's performance was quite fitting."

"Hiroshi Kamiya, you watch it first, it gets funnier the further you go."

These brief exchanges happen frequently, with those who have seen the show explaining it to those who haven't. However, few people display a sense of superiority, like "How come you don't even know this?" After all, as a comedy anthology series, there's hardly any room for spoilers, and you can't exactly explain the jokes.

A little while later, Lin Mu and Xu Youwei also came in and stood with Chen Junqian in the last row of the screening room. They also curiously looked at the content on the big screen in front of them. After Chen Junqian explained the male lead and the world setting to them, they watched it together. It was a bit like when they were kids and turned on the TV and found that they could watch any episode of "Home with Kids" or "My Own Swordsman".

Chen Junqian was inexplicably moved, or rather, thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere of watching the film; this feeling was even more profound than when he went to the cinema to watch "Your Name."

In the anime "Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend", the male protagonist, Tomoya Aki, is ranked as one of the three most popular figures on campus, along with Eriri Sawamura and Utaha Kasumigaoka, because she once held an anime screening at the school festival.

Now, Chen Junqian suddenly had an idea that was infinitely bolder.

However, the first step was that he hoped the film would live up to his expectations.

As a reader of the original work, Chen Junqian knew very well that, given the quality of the original work, as long as it could be adapted and produced reasonably or even excellently, it would definitely become a film that would move countless viewers, just like the original story. However, there are countless examples in the industry of works being adapted into animation, so no one can guarantee that.

So, as the male protagonist of a romantic comedy, he made a sincere expectation, or rather, a wish, for the first time.

I hope you get the best adaptation and production, and that the voice actors can shine with the most dazzling performances.

Then, I will...

P.S.: Thank you for reading and subscribing.

PS2: I've been watching Fanshi's movie reviews for several years now. It's really interesting to rewatch with others or see their reactions when they watch it for the first time. However, it depends a lot on the quality of the comments. Fanshi's live stream met my expectations.

Chapter 44: One Room

If there's anything more comfortable than snuggling in a warm bedroom during winter break and watching an episode of this month's new anime "Oneroom" from the male protagonist's first-person perspective, enjoying a classic yet wonderfully classic storyline, then it's probably having two witty comedians next to you. In fact, Gu Linguo and Chen Xi have completely different styles. Just listening to them take turns saying something while nestled in the soft cushions of his computer chair, Chen Junqian couldn't help but chuckle.

The main issue is that each episode of this anime, which is only about three minutes long after the beginning and end are removed, is indeed a romantic comedy. In the current episodes, the two female protagonists are actually neighbors and younger sisters. This subtle sense of déjà vu, which aligns with reality, makes it hard for the three people in the room not to feel compelled to make sarcastic remarks.

"Speaking of which, did I give my seniors a gift when I moved here?"

"This tradition doesn't exist in China. It was fine in the past, but nowadays people don't really care who lives across the hall, let alone go to visit them. This is a tradition in Japan, I guess."

"...The perspective is so vulgar."
