I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

Yu Iwamoto closed the latest issue of the manga. After such a long hiatus, it's finally time for "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" to make its move...

He seemed to see it. The entire comic book world was originally a mirror, reflecting countless comics. And on this day! Today! That man, accompanied by his Stand, shouted "Ora Ora!" and then shattered that mirror with a single punch—

He took his first steps into this era!

"JUMC is getting better and better lately," Yu Iwamoto remarked with some emotion.

“Yeah, who says otherwise… The brand new 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure,' 'Fist of the North Star,' the increasingly interesting 'Dragon Ball,' 'Captain Tsubasa,' and 'City Hunter' are all getting more and more interesting. And the recent 'Saint Seiya' is also very appealing.” Takeshi Mogi looked enviously at his former colleague, now his superior, Yu Iwamoto.

Now, thanks to the manga artist Kazuya Kurokawa under his supervision, Yu Iwamoto has become a team leader, which means he has been promoted!

Several other people were also promoted, because JUMC changed its editor-in-chief last year; the new editor-in-chief's name is "Hiroki Goto".

"Ah, but this day has finally come... Stardust Crusaders..."

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure has a very strong influence.

Especially starting with the third installment, just how significant was this influence?

Leaving aside other examples, let's talk about something familiar to everyone: because of his love for JoJo, in 2001 in Beijing, a young man started a subtitle translation group.

From then on, Chinese teenagers were freed from pirated comics that were only available once a month, and online serialization became the mainstream!

If it weren't for JOJO, it's not that there wouldn't be translation groups, but it would definitely be later!

"The report is in—!"

"Breaking news? Let me see it!" Iwamoto Yu quickly asked for it, and sure enough, he was overjoyed when he saw it, clenching his fist!

The first volume of *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure*'s Stardust Crusaders is in first place! 56 votes!

How popular was Saint Seiya back then? Just look at the taxes paid. In 1988, Masami Kurumada paid 313.97 million yen in taxes, the highest in all of Japan...

Chapter 78 The Comic Con in Fuyuki City

Having built up popularity over the years, he is a veteran comic artist on JUMC.

Kazuya Kurokawa's "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," which was arguably the first long-running manga series to be released at JUMC, has finally reached number one!

The introduction of Stands, the native protagonist, the resurrection of the evil emperor, and the popularity of Kurokawa Kazuya himself.

These factors combined finally allowed the comic to reach this level.

"Next up is the animation..."

Kurokawa Kazuya's eyes flickered slightly. He had originally planned to wait until 91 to acquire the company and produce animation.

But—now he's changed his mind!

He now possesses the Golden Rule of Grade A! He may lack something, but he certainly doesn't lack money!

Why bother with careful budgeting then! Just burn money! Burn money! Burn money!

Not technically skilled enough? Just pay up!

If it's not enough, just burn it! Kurokawa and Miyako have everything they need right now, but they don't lack money!

Once I finish redrawing JoJo, I'll go out and acquire animation companies and talent. Can't acquire them? That's definitely because I don't have enough money. If I had the money, it wouldn't be impossible. Talent isn't coming? Still, it's because I don't have enough money.

If the technology isn't good enough, you can develop it yourself. If you can't develop it, it's still because you don't have enough money.

In short, just burn money.

Spend money fast and make JOJO! Make the JOJO you see in your dreams, even better than the original ones you've seen!

......

Just when Kurokawa Kazuya, who had more money than he could ever spend, was preparing to use his wealth to start an animation company...

Fuyuki City.

A person got off the plane here.

'There are so many people here…' Hisayu Maiya frowned slightly, looking at the city with some confusion. Fuyuki City wasn't usually such a bustling city… so what was going on?

Why are there so many people?

If the Holy Grail War were to be held here, countless people would die.

I'll write this down later; it's important information.

Her purpose in coming to Fuyuki City is quite simple.

The Holy Grail War is about to begin, and before that, she needs to assess the differences between Fuyuki City now and before, and gather information on Tohsaka, Matou, and the other Masters.

"Hey! I'm over here!"

"Ryosuke! Haha, I found you!" Ishizaki Rihito ran over with a smile. He gave Hisa Umi a strange look as he passed her, and then continued running. However, he still felt something was off.

This person looks...so familiar.

Hisayu Maiya glanced at the two boys beside her but didn't pay them any attention. She continued walking forward and left the airport.

"Hmm...that person from just now, I feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Ishizaki Rihito said, looking at his friend Matsushita Ryosuke with a somewhat strange expression.

"That one just now... Ah! I remember, it was Hisayu Maiya, right?"

"Huh? Yes, yes, that's her, that's her!" Rihito Ishizaki exclaimed in surprise, "What a high-quality cosplayer!"

Comic conventions have become increasingly popular since last year.

Although it existed before, what truly made it popular was the JOJO-themed comic convention created by Kazuya Kurokawa in Morioh last year. At the convention, several short stories following the manga "Rohan Kishibe: The Motionless" were sold, even though they hadn't been released at JUMC. This marked the sale of the sequel to Kurokawa's true debut work.

Because he had money, Kurokawa Kazuya began to do whatever he wanted, and quickly extended this form of behavior.

Furthermore, they purchased a large amount of land and created a JoJo's Bizarre Adventure theme park. They invited numerous people to dress up as characters from the show, which is cosplay. This effectively popularized an existing art form.

Because Kurokawa Kazuya didn't lose money from this incident; on the contrary, he reportedly made a considerable profit.

(The golden rule at level A means you can't lose money even if you want to.)

While Fate is currently the most popular theme... Kurokawa Kazuya's park and anime convention, which didn't feature Fate, inspired some people to create their own.

So... this year, several Fate fans pooled their money to create a Fate-themed anime convention in Fuyuki City, the city that inspired the Fate series. And, all cosplayers can enter for free.

"Well, that cosplayer from earlier will be there too, right? I think so... I'll ask her for a photo when we see her there," Matsushita Ryosuke said, patting his friend Ishizaki Rihito.

“Yes, let’s hurry over there.” Ishizaki Rihito nodded.

The two chatted as they walked.

"However, speaking of the Stand concept, it seems that Mr. Kurokawa had already thought of it a long time ago."

"Hmm? What do you mean?"

"Look, the protagonist's ability in that still Kishibe Rohan scene should be a Stand, right? And according to the information released by Kurokawa-sensei at the comic convention, Kishibe Rohan will also appear in the fourth part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure."

"Wow, so fast! The third movie was just released and they're already having the fourth?"

"That's not all. I heard that Kurokawa-sensei is also preparing a really cool manga."

......

On the other side...

As Hisayu Mai walked through Fuyuki, she felt increasingly uneasy...

The strange feeling came from the pedestrians around her; they were all looking at her with odd eyes... Why were they looking at her like that? She didn't understand, but she had a feeling it wasn't anything good.

"Um... miss, could I take a photo with you?"

Just then, a strangely dressed person, wearing a green bodysuit and a wig, appeared in front of her and stopped her.

"No." Hisayu Maiya frowned and refused.

She didn't want her image captured by other people's cameras, as that would be very detrimental to her actions... It seemed she needed to try to find less crowded routes.

but!

Because I haven't been here for so long, Fuyuki City has changed quite a bit.

The foot traffic is just too much, isn't it?

"Is that so? That's a real shame." The boy, cosplaying Lancer Diarmuid from Fate/Zero, sighed helplessly, then stared blankly at Hisayu Maiya's departing figure.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

His friend, who was holding the prop "dual pistols" for him, asked.

"Yeah, didn't you notice that cosplayer just now? It was so lifelike! The expression! The look! They must be professionals..."

"Huh? You mean what just happened..." My friend paused for a moment, "Ah... it did look like the real deal, and it looked very natural. But Hisa Umai... that's rare. You're more likely to see people cosplaying Emiya Kiritsugu or Irisviel, right?"

“But Saber is still the most common one!” said the boy cosplaying as Lancer Diarmuid.

"You'll know when we get there. Hurry up, we'll be there soon."

Chapter 79 Mai Kuu's Accidental Encounter at a Comic Convention

The longer Yu Wumi walked, the more she felt something was wrong.

There are too many strangely dressed people around here!

That's the person in the knight's armor and golden wig... They look like a woman, but you can tell when they speak—that incredibly deep voice. Definitely a man!

The guy next to me had his face covered in red beard, and two pieces fell off as he walked.

He picked it up and stuck it back on, while complaining to his companion.

And that one covered in golden armor, doesn't it get tiring to walk around like that? Huh? It's made of plastic?

What exactly is going on with the development of Fuyuki City? I've only been away for three or four years at most, and it's changed so much already?

Suddenly—she saw someone who looked somewhat familiar—

"Kiritsugu?"

The person she called Kiritsugu paused for a moment, then turned around and looked at her with a bright smile: "Wow, amazing! Your cosplay of Hisa Uta Maiya is so realistic!"

It wasn't Kiritsugu... Although he seemed to be deliberately imitating her, he only called her that because he was distracted by those around him. But in reality, the two are very different, the biggest difference being... their demeanor and eyes. But why would he say his own name?
