I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

Genkawa Yu looked at the two girls in front of him with a faint smile on his face. This YouTuber named MEM Chu was able to achieve a following of hundreds of thousands of fans, so she must have some extraordinary abilities.

The first thing I noticed today is that they are good at interpersonal communication and adept at reading people's expressions.

Such people are likely to be popular in a group.

The three chatted for a while, and soon the footsteps in the entrance hall became heavy.

Not long after, a tall boy in a black tracksuit walked in. His wheat-colored skin glowed with a healthy sheen under the light, and his arm muscles were clearly defined.

"Hello everyone! I am Nobuyuki Kumano."

He laughed heartily, revealing his little tiger teeth, and his Osaka accent added an enthusiastic touch. "I didn't expect to be the fourth one to arrive. I thought I could snatch the first place!"

The boy had just walked into the lobby with his suitcase when he heard the sound of an engine shutting off outside.

A boy in a black jacket pushed open the door and entered. His short, silver-gray hair was a little messy, and his eyes had a sharp look in them.

"Kengo Morimoto".

He gave a concise self-introduction, his voice carrying the characteristic husky quality of a band member.

After he finished greeting him, Nobuyuki Kumano immediately looked at him enthusiastically, "Morimoto-san! I've heard your band perform live! That song 'Tokyo Night of Confusion' was amazing!"

Kengo Morimoto gave a faint "hmm," then walked to a single sofa and sat down. Although his gaze seemed to casually sweep across the room, he actually sized up everyone.

"Now we have five people. If we analyze it by gender, we should still be missing one girl, right?"

"Yes."

Genkawa Yu glanced at the door, wondering if this was a deliberate arrangement by Director Aoyama.

The materials were sent in advance but one person was missing, and now they're making the other person arrive last. Is it to see how this "werewolf" will adapt to the situation?

"Um, I have a suggestion."

Just then, MEM's lips curled into a smile.

"What suggestion?"

Nobuyuki Kumano glanced at the girl with devil horns on her head. He had actually been thinking about how to take control of the situation, but she beat him to it.

"Let's do a group self-introduction after the last person arrives."

"Although the people who participate in this program all have a certain level of fame, I think that introducing themselves, including their identity and profession, can help everyone get to know each other more quickly."

"can."

Asakura Toru nodded, his blue eyes glancing at Genkawa Yu sitting next to him.

"I have no objection either."

"Then let's leave it at that."

Kengo Morimoto and Nobuyuki Kumano, who was standing next to him, exchanged a glance and agreed to the suggestion.

After everyone sat down, the seating arrangement on the white L-shaped sofa was as follows: Yu Genkawa was the first to sit down, but he took the initiative to choose the far left corner of the L-shaped sofa. Then, to his right were Toru Asakura, Megumi Chu, and then Kengo Morimoto and Nobuyuki Kumano, who were sitting on the single sofas.

Logically, with the camera constantly filming, the director should have given instructions via microphone to guide the conversation on a certain topic to avoid an awkward atmosphere.

But even after all five of them were seated, they still didn't hear any instructions from Director Aoyama.

It was as if he had simply gathered everyone together in this villa and then let everyone do as they pleased.

interesting

Genkawa Yu's gaze slowly swept over the others present. With the information advantage of having read the materials in advance, and after personally contacting these people today, he needed to think as soon as possible about how to build interpersonal relationships with this group of people.

After all, as a "werewolf," he wasn't here to play house or date.

Since the last person hadn't arrived, the outgoing YouTuber MEM啾 took the initiative to start a conversation, talking about some recent popular online topics.

Sitting next to her, Toru Asakura occasionally chimed in with a few words, while Nobuyuki Kumano responded with a smile.

Sitting on the outermost seat, Kengo Morimoto maintained his aloof demeanor, seemingly unwilling to say much. Each person had a very distinct personality, which was probably intentional on the part of the director when casting.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, footsteps finally sounded again in the entryway.

Everyone turned their heads in unison and saw a figure wearing a camel-colored cashmere coat standing in the warm light.

Her fur collar accentuated her fair complexion, and the black turtleneck sweater underneath highlighted her sleek neckline. The girl's thin lips were pursed into a shallow curve, and her blue hair hung freely down her back.

Before Akane Kurokawa pushed open the door, she was actually very nervous because the director not only made her the last to arrive, but she also hadn't told Yu Genkawa that she was going to participate in this variety show.

What kind of expression would Genkawa-kun make when he sees himself?

"Um, excuse me, I was the last one to arrive."

The girl apologized, but when she saw Genkawa Yu sitting in the corner of the sofa, she couldn't help but smile.

"I am Akane Kurokawa, hello everyone."

"Hello Kurokawa-san, I'm MEM Chu."

MEM, sporting little black devil horns, greeted them with a smile, and the other three also politely returned the greeting.

The only difference was that Genkawa Yu, who was sitting in the corner, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw the familiar girl, and was startled.

and many more.

So Kurokawa was the last member of this dating reality show?

why?

The next moment, countless thoughts flashed through the young man's mind.

Given the strength of the Burning series, could it be that deliberately withholding information from him was just to create this surprise?

As a "werewolf" who stirs up trouble in a dating reality show, how come an acquaintance is suddenly brought in? Is this the kind of program effect that director Aoyama wanted?

Akane Kurokawa, on the other side, was unaware of the complex thoughts in the young man's mind. She simply smiled and nodded at everyone before walking straight to the seat next to Yu Minakawa and sitting down.

The two were very close, just like when they were watching a variety show together in Genkawa Yu's apartment.

"Genkawa-kun, are you a little surprised to see me?"

The moment the informal "Genkawa-kun" was uttered, it immediately drew the attention of everyone else in the living room.

MEM's cat-like lips immediately curled up, and his gaze toward Genkawa Yu and Kurokawa Akane was filled with intense interest.

Hehehe, looks like this show won't be boring at all!

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star: Chapter Fifty: A Love Story That Doesn't Follow the Rules

All six people were present at the villa.

Akane Kurokawa's perfectly natural "Minamoto-kun" was like a pebble thrown into a lake, creating ripples in the hearts of the other four.

MEM's eyes sparkled with gossip, her gaze constantly shifting between them. Although Asakura Toru's expression remained calm, she still glanced a few more times at Kurokawa Akane, who arrived last.

As for the two boys on the other side, Nobuyuki Kumano sat up straight, his fingers unconsciously tapping his knees. Kengo Morimoto sat very upright, his originally indifferent eyes now showing a hint of inquiry, but he only glanced at the young man's seat before looking away.

By this time, Yuan Chuanyu had recovered from his shock. He glanced helplessly at the blue-haired girl beside him. She always had a gentle smile on her face and made no attempt to hide her affection for him.

That's it.

Since that's the case, let's meet force with force and water with water.

At this moment, MEM seemed to have received instructions from the film crew. He stood up, walked to the sofa, put his hands together, and said with a smile.

"Hehe, now that everyone is here, let's do our professional self-introductions as I just suggested, so we can get to know each other better."

"can."

No one had any objections, and soon the lively MEM Chu took the lead in introducing themselves.

"Then I'll start!"

She blinked her large, sapphire-like eyes, and a mischievous smile curved her cat-like lips. "My name is MEM啾, and I'm a YouTuber~"

"Focusing on dating advice and daily life experiences with a JK (high school girl) theme, it simply helps female high school students resolve their emotional dilemmas and exposes the tricks of boys!"

MEM proudly waved her phone, "This can help a lot of girls open their eyes."

“I’ve watched MEN’s videos, and they are indeed very popular on YouTube.”

Nobuyuki Kumano seemed very supportive, and the others joined in expressing their praise.

"So the next one is..."

Actually, there's no set order for self-introductions; everyone can introduce themselves as they please. But MEN blinked and looked at Kurokawa Akane, who was sitting next to Genkawa Yu, with a smile. "Please let Kurokawa-san introduce herself."

"me?"

Although Akane Kurokawa was surprised to be called upon suddenly, she did not show any signs of stage fright.

"Um, I'm Akane Kurokawa. I mainly work as an actress and stage actor. I've only acted in one TV drama, but I've done a lot of stage plays. If you're interested in stage plays, I can recommend some to you."

The girl stood up and spoke slowly to everyone, her voice calm.

"Um, the only TV drama that Kurokawa-san acted in was probably '49,' which he co-starred in with Genkawa-sensei, right?"

At this moment, Nobuyuki Kumano chose to speak, wanting to probe the relationship between Akane Kurokawa and Yu Minagawa.

"Yes, that's a kind of fate."

Before Kurokawa Akane could speak, Genkawa Yu said, "Kurokawa-san's acting is very good, and it has given me a lot of inspiration."

"No, it was Genkawa-kun who took care of me on set."

Okay, okay~

MEM noticed the blush on Kurokawa Akane's face and understood immediately. "Then, may we ask Genkawa-sensei to introduce himself?"

"can."

Genkawa Yu smiled gently, stood up and bowed slightly to everyone, "Genkawa Yu, my profession is actor and writer, and I have only acted in one TV series so far, as you all just learned."

"Then I wrote a book called 'Love Letters'..."

“This book is very famous, Genkawa-sensei,” MEN-chu said with a fan-like smile. “Many of my fans have recommended it to me.”

"Has MEN-chan seen it?" Genkawa asked with a smile.

"Hehe, I only watched a little bit, and I felt a bit sad, so I didn't finish it." The girl with the blonde bob stuck out her tongue. This behavior seemed a bit like she was deliberately trying to be cute, but she did it in a harmonious way that didn't make people feel disgusted.
