I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

After looking at the price per page of the original manuscript and considering the current situation, Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction.

After confirming there were no mistakes or omissions: "Okay, then let's leave it at that."

"Ah, great! Let's sign the contract then. As for the seal..."

“I have some here,” Kurokawa Kazuya said. “Wait a moment, I’ll go upstairs to get it.”

"Yes."

Kurokawa Kazuya smiled and walked up the stairs. This one book would bring in another ten million yen. And that was just the base price, calculated at 15000 yen per page. It didn't even include potential issues with future volumes or copyright matters.

If the artwork is serialized in Shonen Jump, the price will rise further, estimated to reach around 20000 yen per page. Of course, this is just his own estimate.

However, if you hire an assistant, the situation changes drastically; you'd probably have to share about half of it.

This is the norm for most cartoonists.

However, this only applies to ordinary comic artists. He is not an ordinary comic artist, so he doesn't need assistants at all.

Of course, this refers to not being cut in half.

He had run the program before and knew what to do. After carefully checking to make sure there were no errors or omissions, he finished.

Okada Tomomi once again felt utterly useless and insignificant as an editor...

But how should I put it? After all, it's a result that fell from the sky, and I don't have to do anything myself, so why not take it?

"Alright, things are all taken care of here." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded in satisfaction.

"Spring break is almost here... Should I take Kazumi somewhere to have fun?" Kurokawa Kazumi thought, looking at the schedule in front of her. There were only three days left... Kurokawa Kazumi's school would be on spring break.

Unlike the China of my previous life, Japan has three major holidays a year: winter break, spring break, and summer break.

During winter break, I didn't have much time, mainly because I was drawing my new manga. So, Kurokawa Kazumi usually hung out with her classmates. But now that it's spring break, it wouldn't make sense not to go out and have some fun...

As for the location, he has already decided.

"The most important thing in comics is realism!" Although he failed once because it was too realistic, he wasn't going to give up on that. The story could be a little more fictional, a little more romantic, and a little more narrative-driven. However, he wasn't going to abandon the descriptions of certain things within it.

"However, I'm only thinking about the places I want to go. I also need to ask Kazumi if there's anything I'd like to do."

night--

After dinner, Kurokawa Kazuya looked at Kurokawa Kazumi, who had finished her homework, and asked, "Spring break is coming soon, is there anywhere you want to go?"

"Huh? Going out for spring break?" Kazumi asked in surprise.

"Ah, that's right, anywhere is fine, it doesn't have to be in Japan, other countries are fine too, and several are fine as long as we can get back before school starts."

"Hooray!" Kurokawa Kazumi cheered.

"So, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"

"Hmm..." Kurokawa Kazumi thought for a moment and shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet... Hehe, this is too sudden."

"Well, if you have any ideas, just tell me. You can come anywhere."

"Hmm, Onii-chan? Is there anywhere you're going?"

“Ah, yes.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. “I will go to England sometime, mainly to visit the British Museum and King Arthur’s tomb.”

Of course, if he had enough time, he would also like to visit the Louvre.

However, there's no rush.

It's fine anytime. If there's still time after my sister goes somewhere, I'll go and take a look. If not, then forget it.

"By the way, Onii-chan, what about Hana?"

"Meow meow~~ Meow (Finally remembered me! I want to go too!)."

"Hmm... I guess you can't bring cats on airplanes, right?" Kurokawa Kazuya said. Although he vaguely remembered that there was a special baggage check-in system, that was for 21st-century airplanes, and he didn't know about airplanes from this era, let alone those from Japan.

However, taking this guy out would be too much trouble, so let's just skip it.

"Sigh... what about Hana?" Kurokawa Kazumi said in surprise. Won't she starve to death after so many days?

"Ah, I'll ask someone else to help raise it for a while."

"Whom should I ask?"

“Editor,” Kurokawa Kazuya said with a smile.

......

"Ah...what a free manga artist." Yu Iwamoto couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the cat in front of him.

This guy is really rare; he said he was going on a trip with his sister and asked him to look after the cat...

Most cartoonists don't even have the spare money, let alone the energy.

"However, this will delay the third comic as well."

Well... he actually relaxed a little.

"Meow~~"

"Looks like you're quite dissatisfied too. That guy..."

Chapter Sixteen: The Purpose of Making Money

Starting from Japan, the plan is to first go to London, England, mainly to visit the British Museum. Afterwards, they'll go to Paris, France, primarily to see the Louvre and Disneyland Paris. This is Disneyland that Kazumi wants to visit. She's already been to Disneyland in Japan, and she wants to see what the Parisian version is like.

Next up is Hawaii... I'm also very curious about this famous tourist destination, Kurokawa Kazuya.

There's no need to worry about language; he speaks both English and French and can communicate fluently.

A high-end camera is ready.

He had investigated and found that photography is allowed at both the British Museum and the Louvre.

That's good.

The contents can be used as excellent source material.

"Is this London?" Kurokawa Kazumi asked uncomfortably after getting off the plane. It was her first time flying, and she felt quite uncomfortable.

"Alright! We've finally arrived in London. Let's find a hotel to rest for the day, and start having fun tomorrow!" Kurokawa Kazuya said. Although he had used most of his money to buy real estate in Tokyo, and even took out a large loan from the bank to buy more real estate, and then used the purchased properties to take out more loans in a continuous cycle... he still had to have money for fun!

As for the reason for buying real estate...

Now it is 1985. He vaguely remembers what happened afterward, but he has forgotten the specific reasons. He only remembers that Japan's economy began to boom from the end of 1986 to the beginning of 1991, and real estate prices soared. Although there may have been other factors, they were beyond his control. He was not clear about them and did not intend to get involved.

He had forgotten the exact dates from 86 to 91.

He vaguely remembered that at that time, the Japanese yen rose from 240 yen to 120 yen to 1 US dollar. He didn't need to wait until then; just in case, he would have stopped and sold everything when the yen was around 130 yen to 1 US dollar.

He remembered that in 87, there was something called "Black Monday" in the United States... He knew about it from reading too many novels. But all he knew was that it was a Monday! He didn't know which Monday it was, so he just let it go on that specific date and didn't participate in it.

But if you change a specific date to a specific year, you can get involved yourself.

There's only one reason he wants to make so much money!

He doesn't care about money, nor is he interested in being the protagonist of an urban novel or the boss of a multinational corporation; he doesn't have the ability either, and he's very clear about that. Although he has some understanding of future trends and knows some general opportunities, and is even prepared to participate in some, there's only one fundamental reason!

That is, he needs money to make animation!

Animation existed in this era, but the visual effects were unsatisfactory in his opinion.

He wanted to bring "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" to the television screen and make it into an anime.

However, in this era, it would be impossible to achieve the same effect as the "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" that he had seen, but—by burning money, it should be possible to get close, infinitely close!

There is nothing in this world that money cannot buy; if it cannot, it simply means that you don't have enough money!

He doesn't want to make defective products. He'll do anything else, but absolutely not JOJO!

What he wants to do is wait until Japan experiences a major economic downturn, gather a large number of talented people, and directly acquire several animation companies, since those people have experience... Then he will produce "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" himself. At that time, the main method will be to burn money!

With money, and the ability to compare yourself to the "JoJo" series you've read in your mind, there's nothing you can't do!

Of course... this is his current opinion since he has never done it before. He will deal with the difficulties that may arise later, but he absolutely cannot be short of money. He doesn't care how long it takes to make it or how many times he has to start over, as long as he achieves the best possible result in his mind.

At that time, I should be able to cash out around 10 billion yen, which is a huge fortune in this era!

I wonder if this fortune will be enough to acquire Yueisha... Of course, I'm just kidding. He plans to spend it all on producing "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," making as many episodes as possible...

He doesn't even care if anyone watches him, but he has to get it done, and the sooner the better.

This is the belief of a JOJO fan.

Anyway, he's not short of money... JOJO's monthly income is enough for him to live comfortably...

However, even so, he did not intend to save money on his living expenses and still left enough money for travel, enough to accompany his sister on her travels.

Even on short weekends, I often take her out to play in a relaxed way.

He felt that this was what life should be like.

Dreams exist, freedom exists... there are no troubles. This kind of life is simply like a dream; sometimes he even thinks that if this is a dream, he'd rather be forever immersed in it and never wake up...

"Get up, you silly goose."

Kurokawa Kazumi patted Kazumi's little head and said.

"Hmm...let me sleep a little longer...just five more minutes..."

“Okay…” Kurokawa Kazuya smiled, lifted the curtains and looked out at the streets of this country he was visiting for the second time.

This is why he specifically chose a room with a window.

He had been here in his past life, and his current personality is the same as in his past life: once he has money, he goes on a wild spree until he's broke... He has no self-control, and no matter how much he earns each month, he always eats instant noodles a few days before payday...

When he earned less, he would travel nearby; when he earned more, he would travel abroad. He learned English and French little by little during that time... In addition, he also knew a little Spanish, but he could understand it, and it took him several seconds to think before he could have a conversation, and he often made grammatical errors.

However... I never went to the British Museum or anything like that in my past life... I did go to King Arthur's tomb, and I tried mystical gacha pulls there, and then I got the good stuff. It turns out that mystical methods are invincible.

However, this time he wanted to visit the British Museum.

Such ample funding and preparation were something my past self had never experienced.

"Five minutes have passed. If you don't get up soon, you can stay in the hotel all day. I'm going out by myself."

"wait for me!"

Kurokawa Kazumi quickly sat up, perking up completely, and then pouted, saying, "Brother, you just scare me..."
