I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

“That’s true, but this manga is interesting enough, and although the content is a bit darker than the manga currently on JUMC, it’s much better than the previous ones. And—Mr. Kurokawa also agreed that the editor can be involved in the next manga to give some feedback.” Shoji Yuito threw out his trump card.

The killer move was simple: "to get editors involved and offer some feedback." Kurokawa Kazuya's talent was undeniable. But precisely because of this, every submission was the original manuscript, and the completed version was immediately handed to him.

This makes the editor feel very invisible. And... if the editor could offer some feedback, could the magazine commission him to draw some comics next?

After all, judging from his speed, helping JUMC without affecting his own comics shouldn't be difficult.

"Hmm..." Yoshikawa Taishi paused for a moment, then looked at the others and said, "Is this manga interesting?"

“Interesting, I find it very interesting,” said Yuu Iwamoto’s direct superior, Yuto Shoji.

"It's interesting...but..." Maruyama Yudai didn't finish his sentence, but everyone understood.

"Interesting, but the art style is a bit impractical." "Interesting." "It feels very interesting."

"That's good." Yoshikawa Taishi nodded: "Included—"

Chapter Sixty has been serialized.

Ring ring ring—

Ring ring ring—

"This is Kurokawa," Kurokawa Kazuya said, picking up the phone.

"Yes, this is Iwamoto. Mr. Kurokawa, congratulations on your new manga being serialized in JUMC."

"Well, I see."

"..." Iwamoto paused for a few seconds: "It's...that...new manga..."

"Hmm... I'm ready to create, you can come anytime."

"Yes!" Yu Iwamoto said excitedly... then hung up the phone and was a little stunned... He was so worried about the Fate series, he couldn't sit still or walk steadily... but when he called and heard... the voice on the other end was so calm, as if he didn't care at all.

What was that guy thinking? On the contrary, he was pleasantly surprised to know for a long time that Kurokawa-sensei had agreed to go and give his opinions on the new manga!

On the other end of the phone—

Kurokawa Kazuya was somewhat pleased, but not to the extent that he felt it was possible for Fate to be serialized...

It started at 50%.

The manga's plot is undoubtedly excellent, but whether the editor's perception of the outdated art style is a plus or a minus is debatable. However, the fact that it's already finished is definitely a plus. Furthermore, the author's depiction of battle scenes, having witnessed numerous battles firsthand, is far superior to the average person.

However, that is, after all, a battle of inhuman level, so you'll have to rely more on your imagination.

Furthermore, Fate is clearly not a JUMC-style manga; it's quite different from JUMC. If someone uses this as a pretext, it could really cause trouble.

However... yesterday's phone call from Iwamoto Yu put his mind at ease.

He said that changing his pen name from "Kuro" to "Kurokawa Kazuya" in itself implies that the editor-in-chief believes that if using the name "Kurokawa Kazuya" can bring benefits to JUMC, he will also manipulate things accordingly...

As for Iwamoto Yu... he probably spent too much time in that environment. Experiencing such tense moments every time made him subconsciously tense and unable to react to such a situation.

He also needs the editor's opinion on the next comic.

Because his next project is an original comic, and he wants to embody the three elements of JUMC: friendship, hard work, and victory.

I can't let the result of this final test make me stop drawing comics.

No matter what, I'll keep making comics... it's all out of love for comics.

Otherwise... why bother thinking about original storylines? Just draw all the comics I can still remember. It's a simple matter at my speed, and then I can start my own magazine and make money.

But in reality, he's just too lazy to do that...

As for money, I just need enough to make my own animations. I'm too lazy to manage magazines and stuff... I just want to draw the comics I like and do what I love.

And that's exactly how it is now.

He wants to draw original comics that he likes!

......

"Mr. Iwamoto is here again," the hotel receptionist said to Iwamoto Yu with a smile.

"Ah, yes... I have some things to do here tomorrow, so I made a special trip over here." Iwamoto Yuya replied with a smile. Tomorrow he would be discussing the plot and various settings of the new manga with Kurokawa Kazuya.

So he came over.

Considering Kurokawa Kazuya's habits, he, as always, traveled from Tokyo to Morioh that same day, stayed at a nearby hotel where he had been several times before and was already a regular customer, and then headed straight there the next day, anticipating that the elementary school students would have already gone to school.

......

night--

"Hmm... this is fine. And over here, um... move this chair a little over here—"

Kurokawa Kazumi, who had just moved to the next room, wasn't sleeping; instead, she was excitedly fiddling with all sorts of things—

That's right, I've grown up and should have moved out and lived on my own a long time ago. Yes, that's exactly it.

She paced around the room until she was completely exhausted before finally lying down on the bed. She let out a soft sigh, then sat up again, looking at the bedroom with a slightly embarrassed expression: "It seems... no different from before. Is it really best to leave it like this?"

The bedroom looked like this when we were in that room before, and it still looks like this now...

Even if there are some changes, they are very subtle.

The walls are much cleaner than the previous one.

The furniture, my own toys, and my favorite bed have all been moved in...

"Although my brother said I could get a new one, I still don't feel used to it... Hmm, this is fine."

She's lived alone before, which means she can do whatever she wants! It doesn't matter what she does!

"Hey, Xiaohua, is there anything you want? The rooms are so big, would you like to have one by yourself?"

......

On the other side—

Kurokawa Kazuya put down his paintbrush, looked at the completed character design in front of him, and nodded: "Well then, the initial design is complete... The design and characters are all done, we can start drawing the first chapter tomorrow..."

At that time...

Just like before, I should be able to start a new dream now...

I wonder if this original world can bring out the knowledge from within, like in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. If it can...

This would greatly increase the scope of one's own operations...

For example, add some items that can be obtained from a wide range of sources.

After all, the setting is just a matter of one's own words, which gives one more freedom in creating one's own comics.

That evening—

Kazuya Kurokawa continues to familiarize himself with the abilities of Ripple and Stone Mask within JoJo's dream world...

While doing this won't increase the quantity of your ripples, it will increase your control and skill in creating them.

the next day--

I just got back from dropping my younger sister off at school when I saw a familiar face standing at my door...

"Um... Mr. Iwamoto?"

"Mr. Kurokawa, you're back."

How long have you been waiting here?

"No, no, I just arrived, not long ago."

Kurokawa Kazumi's lips twitched slightly. Was it really necessary...? It was just a discussion about the plot... We'd been here before, why did we have to come so early?

Chapter Sixty-One Ideas

"Are you planning to stay here for a while?" Kurokawa Kazuya was slightly surprised by Iwamoto Yu's words.

"Yes... After all, you don't want to go to Tokyo, and it would take me several hours to travel back and forth, so, um... I plan to stay here for a week."

"I see. I won't interfere with these matters." Kurokawa Kazuya didn't suggest letting him stay here... Although he owns quite a few properties, JUMC wouldn't be short of money for a hotel, would they?

"However, I'll be doing some renovations here in a couple of days, so it might be a little noisy then."

"Huh? Renovation?" Iwamoto Yu looked at the room with some surprise. "It looks nice. Why are you renovating?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to change to a different style..." Kurokawa Kazuya didn't say much. He chose high-fiber materials for the new renovation... He found through experiments in reality that high-fiber materials are generally more effective at transmitting ripples.

Animal fiber is the best, and this time, he plans to cover his house with a large amount of animal fiber.

Walls, ceiling, floor...

Even everyday clothing is made from this pure animal fiber—

This is currently the best way he can solve the problem with money, although his current wealth has not yet reached the point where "anything that can be solved with money is not a problem".

However, as he owned more and more properties, although he also owed more and more money to the bank, his assets continued to expand.

I can already solve most of my problems with money.

"Really... That's true. By the way, won't this affect your manga? Kurokawa-sensei, aren't you preparing a new manga?"

"It's okay, I'll move to the apartment across the street."

"Huh? Across the street?" Iwamoto Yu paused on the stairs, looking out through a small window. The room across the street... Is Kurokawa-sensei related to that family?

“Yes, that place is mine too,” Kurokawa Kazuya said.

"..."

He didn't arrange for his sister to stay here... but instead arranged for her to stay a little further away, a two or three-minute walk from here.

Because he was worried that she might be caught in the crossfire if a battle broke out.

Actually, he's very excited right now...

It's like imagining how wonderful the world you live in is and what superpowers you have when you have no ability.
