After finishing cooking and heating two cups of milk, Kurokawa Kazuya walked over to his younger sister's room and knocked on the door: "Kazumi, it's almost time for school. Breakfast is ready, so get up quickly."
After he finished speaking, there was no echo in the room. He sighed softly, pushed open the door, looked at his younger sister, Kurokawa Kazumi, who was fast asleep, patted her forehead and said, "Get up, you'll be late for school."
"Hmm..." Kurokawa Kazumi slowly opened her eyes. A burst of blinding sunlight shone into the room, and Kurokawa Kazumi drew back the curtains.
"She's awake, Kazumi."
"Onii-chan..." Kurokawa Kazumi rubbed her eyes, still a little dazed, "What time is it?"
"It's 7:30. If you don't want to be late, you have a maximum of 35 minutes left," Kurokawa Kazuya said, glancing at the clock beside him.
"Hmm..." she said, lying down again. "Let me sleep for another fifteen minutes..."
"Hemei—Hemei—" Just then, such shouts came from outside.
"Looks like we can't sleep now." Kurokawa Kazuya looked at his younger sister and said, "Your classmate is here to see you. Get up quickly, don't keep your friend waiting too long."
"Yes, yes... I understand." Kazumi sighed and reluctantly sat up.
"Well then, I'll go check on your friends first. Get up quickly!"
Yes~~
With that, Kurokawa Kazuya left the room, went to the door, and pushed it open.
"Big brother~~"
"Hello... Hello."
"Hmm." Looking at the two little girls in front of him, who were about the same age as his younger sister, Kurokawa Kazuya nodded: "Kazumi just woke up. Anyway, there's still some time before school starts, so come in and stay for a while."
"Thank you, big brother."
"Th...thank you."
Kurokawa Kazuya smiled but didn't say much. The cheerful-looking little girl was named Chida Yo, while the other, who seemed a bit nervous, was named Kawamoto Sanae. They were both his sister's classmates.
Kazumi Kurokawa is currently a first-year junior high school student. She is 13 years old this year.
"I'm skipping breakfast and just leaving—"
"No."
Kurokawa Kazuya stopped Kazumi, who was rushing downstairs, and said, "You must eat breakfast."
"Hmm..." Kazumi pouted and sighed as she looked at Kurokawa Kazuya, who had no room for refusal. "Okay... I understand."
"You must drink all the milk too."
Yes.
I had a rather rushed breakfast.
Kurokawa greeted Miwa and then followed her companions toward the school, which was about a ten-minute walk from there.
Then—unbeknownst to her, Kurokawa Kazuya quietly followed behind, only returning satisfied after confirming that her younger sister had entered the school.
He didn't need to get too close; he had a special connection with his sister that allowed him to pinpoint her approximate location. However, it seemed his sister couldn't sense him.
"Well... it's about time to start working..."
Kurokawa Kazuya tidied up the room and then went to his studio.
Last night, as always, he entered that dream world, observing everyone's expressions and such. Now, he feels he should be able to finish drawing the first chapter.
Kazuya Kurokawa took out the original manuscript of the manga. At first, he needed to make drafts when drawing manga, but now he doesn't need to at all. He can now start working directly on the original manuscript.
Without the slightest mistake, he began drawing at an extremely fast speed!
There's a scene in the comic where, even with his speed, he still hadn't finished drawing after several days.
On the plane, people reacted in all sorts of ways after learning what was about to happen.
Based on his dream experiences, he memorized two faces each day and then drew them all perfectly.
Now, after drawing the last person's face—
What's in front of me doesn't look like a comic book, but rather a photograph—a photograph that records all the faces of everyone!
"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring—"
"The phone? The editorial office..." Kurokawa Kazuya said, looking at the phone next to him. Only the people in the editorial office knew this number; he used other phones at other times.
"Hello, is this Kurokawa?"
"Yes, that's right, Mr. Iwamoto... Is there something you need?"
"Yes, your original manuscript is all completed. Is the manuscript for the next chapter ready?" Kurokawa Kazuya's editor, Iwamoto Yu, asked with some doubt. He found it strange that this special person refused his assistant's request to draw alone and not be disturbed under normal circumstances...
"Ah, everything is ready. I'll bring it over to you in a bit if you need it."
Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and said.
"No, no need. I'll go over there myself. I also wanted to discuss the content of the comic with you, is that alright?"
"Okay." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. "Then I'll wait for you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Kurokawa Kazuya took out the manuscript of the second half of the first part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," which he had prepared long ago, from the shelf next to him, put it aside, and then continued to work on his original manga.
[What would the protagonist's acquired drawing ability from Rohan Kishibe be equivalent to in the novel writing industry, which is familiar to everyone...? That's right, it's equivalent to being able to write 100,000 words per hour or even more! With that speed... I feel like if you write even slightly well, you'd be absolutely amazing! A day of intense writing could easily reach millions of words, faster than reading! I really want that ability QAQ...]

Chapter 3 JUMC Editor
He recently finished drawing Stardust Crusaders, the third part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
The grueling work and all-nighters that are essential for most comic artists are almost entirely absent in him.
After all, he takes an average of ten minutes to complete one original drawing...
Moreover... after drawing "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", it meant that his future was no longer in danger of surviving.
In his previous life, "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" was a manga series that started serialization by Hirohiko Araki in 1987 and continued until 2017, the year he traveled to, and it was still being serialized and had an amazing influence.
Before he transmigrated, this manga had already become the twelfth manga in Japan to have sold over 100 million copies in a single volume.
This one comic alone is enough for him to live a very comfortable life.
He might even be able to hold a solo exhibition at the Louvre like Hirohiko Araki (Hirohiko Araki is the only Japanese manga artist to have a solo exhibition at the Louvre), and collaborate with fashion brands...
Of course, Araki's social skills certainly played a part in all of this. But even so, it fully demonstrates the power of this manga.
And unlike in the future, where some might find the art style uncomfortable or unpleasant to watch if this manga were serialized there, right now—everyone is used to the art style. Because that's how it is here now.
His manga's serialization wasn't exactly easy, but it still passed the serialization meeting and began serialization. However... things weren't ideal; it barely avoided being canceled, and there were occasional small bursts of popularity...
......
"Ding-dong-"
The doorbell rang, and Kurokawa Kazuya put down his pen, walked to the door, glanced at it, and opened the door after confirming who it was: "Hello, Mr. Iwamoto."
"It's been a while, Kurokawa," Iwamoto Yu said with a hint of helplessness. He didn't like his editor coming to his door... Should I say he was confident or what... But anyway, he was one of his manga artists who had passed the serialization meeting.
Moreover, he has witnessed the progress from the initial short comics to the present, and he cannot simply leave it unattended.
“Yes, Mr. Iwamoto too.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and said. Iwamoto Yu, thirty-six years old this year, is his editor: “I’m so sorry to have made you come here in person to pick up the manuscript.”
"No, it's nothing. You must be having a tough time right now, under a lot of pressure," Yu Iwamoto sighed, showing his understanding. The latest chapter's ranking has already dropped to twelfth; if things aren't handled carefully... it won't be long before it's canceled.
No...not at all...
Kurokawa Kazuya's lips twitched slightly. After all, if he thought about it carefully, his drawing could easily run for several years... This was a powerful manga technique that allowed him to perfectly maintain updates even in a world with accelerated time...
Having experienced a past life, he has no shortage of stories, and his current comic book skills are also superhuman...
I only feel a little tired when I'm thinking about my original comics; otherwise, it's very relaxing.
He knew about the latest chapter's twelfth place ranking, but he didn't care. The art style of the early chapters of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" wasn't very mature, but now—with his superb drawing skills, he's improving at a rapid pace.
The current version is a huge improvement over the manga that is currently being serialized.
He even redrawn the entire second half of the first part of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" that he had originally prepared!
Furthermore, the next episode features the main antagonist, Dio Brando, becoming a vampire. The artist's skills have also improved significantly, so the ranking should rise to some extent, allowing the character to escape the current precarious situation.
"How's your drawing going lately? Let me see," Iwamoto Yu asked, looking at the person in front of him.
Kazuya Kurokawa is 195cm tall, just like JoJo in his manga. He looks very muscular and doesn't look like a typical Japanese person at all, let alone a manga artist. If someone said he was a boxer or one of those muscular characters in manga, more people would believe it.
"Come with me." Kurokawa Kazuya nodded and led Iwamoto Yu toward his studio.
"Would you like something to drink?" Kurokawa asked Iwamoto Yu after they arrived, inviting him to sit down for a while.
"Hmm...then I won't stand on ceremony. Do you have any coffee?"
"Yes, please wait a moment."
Yu Iwamoto smiled, looked around, and then saw the comic book on the table.
"Hmm... what is this?"
Yu Iwamoto walked over and flipped through it: "Wow, amazing drawing skills... This is a huge improvement over your current work. But... this isn't JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is it?"
"Mr. Iwamoto, here you go." Kazuya Kurokawa placed the coffee in front of Yu Iwamoto.
"Thank you..." Yu Iwamoto nodded, then frowned and said, "This... isn't JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, is it?"
“Ah, that’s right.” Kurokawa Kazuya nodded. “This is a new manga I’ve been working on recently.”
"Are you planning to end the current manga?" Iwamoto Yu asked with some surprise. "The current situation of JoJo can't be described as good, but it hasn't reached the point where it has to end. Wouldn't it be a shame to end it like this?"
"Huh? No, it's not about ending." Kurokawa Kazuya paused for a moment, "Looks like you misunderstood."
As Kurokawa Kazuya spoke, he took a package from a nearby shelf. The package was labeled "Phantom Blood".
"This continues until the end of the first part."
"The first one?"
Iwamoto Yu paused for a moment, then took it and remarked with some emotion, "It's so heavy...it looks like a lot..."
Then, he opened the package and took out a thick stack of original manuscripts. His expression instantly changed from calm to shock: "This drawing skill? What a huge improvement! You can do it! With this kind of progress, your ranking will definitely rise this time!"
