My girlfriend is Kusunoko Saiki

JUMP SQ, whose full name is JUMP SQUARE, is currently the monthly magazine department of JUMP.

After the original monthly magazine JUMP was discontinued due to poor popularity, most of the works were transferred to SQ for serialization.

Representative works include "Blue Exorcist" and "Seraph of the End". In Japan, it is also a popular publication. Even "Blood Blockade Battlefront", "Prince of Tennis" and "Wandering Swordsman" are currently serialized on it. Sometimes, its popularity even exceeds that of weekly magazines.

Unlike weekly magazines, Jump SQ also publishes girls' comics, young men's comics, anime or novels, comics, essays, novels, etc., in addition to boys' comics. It is a comprehensive magazine. However, the mark of the single volume is Jump Comics.

The editorial regulations of "Jump SQ" are relatively loose, and there will be works with strong impact, such as social issues, ****, tragic and violent descriptions.

Moreover, even if the serialization of "Jump SQ" is stopped due to low popularity, there will be a special measure to resume serialization on the Web. It can be regarded as one of the few conscientious works of Shueisha. Many cartoonists will choose to retire in monthly magazines after they are tired of serialization.

For Naoto, this was his first time coming to the SQ editorial department. Even, this was the first time he met editor Hiroshima.

After all, in the past, Zhiren basically just faxed the manuscript over and then didn't care about anything else.

At most, we would discuss the next plot on the phone.

The reason why he came here this time was for something that even he had not expected, and that was the animation of Chunghwa Boy.

To be honest, he had never thought of such a thing before.

After all, judging from the current progress of Chunghwa First, it is just a drizzle compared to the original animation of Chunghwa First.

Even the first part has 52 episodes, and Naoto still updates it monthly, so the pace is even slower.

However, since the editorial department had already discussed it, Naoto would naturally come over.

As for the reason why it was adapted into an animation, Naoto could understand it.

The first is the huge success of the animation of "Vampire Diaries".

From the beginning to the end of its broadcast, it has basically firmly occupied the position of the overlord of the new anime in January. Various commercial activities have been carried out to the point where it is dizzying. Even now, which is almost April, it is still carrying out activities, making direct profits for the Weekly Department and JCSA.

The huge success this time naturally made some animation companies set their sights on Naoto's other comics.

Of course it's impossible for Parasyte, after all, there are really too few of them now. At least we have to wait until the end before it can be adapted into an animation.

All that Naoto has left is the still serialized Chukuichi.

Although it seems that Chuka Boyu doesn't seem to be very popular.

But in fact, in the monthly magazine, Chungchu Ichiban has always been the ace manga and has never fallen.

Every update is simply the ultimate torture.

Every time the editors looked at the delicious food, their mouths watered. It was said that during the year when Naoto was serializing the series, even the editors of SQ gained at least three kilograms.

Moreover, the plot of Chunghyu Boyan has reached a peak recently.

He participated in the assessment of top chef and finally became the youngest top chef in history, and started to show off.

Originally I was just cooking, but now I am forced to install it every time after cooking.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the logo representing the top chef was revealed. Then the crowd of spectators fell to their knees one after another.

This kind of pretentious routine immediately touches the readers' hearts.

I ask you, is there any plot more exciting than watching the protagonist show off?

Due to the influence of multiple factors, the popularity of Chow Yun Fat increased rapidly, which led the editorial department to decide to let Naoto prepare for the animation in advance.

"Teacher Naoto, you are finally here. Please come in. I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

"Um, who are you?"

Just as Naoto was standing at the door of the editorial office, planning to call editor Hiroshima to come out and pick him up, a man in a suit with a square-headed look spotted Naoto at a glance and walked straight in with him.

"I'm Hiroshima, Naoto-sensei. I heard you were coming over, so I've been waiting for you here."

"Editor Hongdao? No, this is too grand."

Naoto never expected that his editor, Hongdao, had been waiting for him at the door since morning.

I didn't even recognize Editor Hongdao, but he had already recognized me. This is too much. Is it necessary to make such a big deal?

"It's okay. After all, Naoto-sensei, you are our JUMP's ace manga artist. You deserve this kind of treatment."

Editor Hiroshima didn't care about Naoto's surprise at all, but thought it was the right thing to do, which really made Naoto feel flattered. Is this what SQ does?

And under the guidance of editor Hiroshima, Naoto also met the current editor-in-chief of SQ.

Compared to the middle-aged editor Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of SQ is already an old man.

At the age of 50 or 60, it is said that he will be promoted to Shueisha soon.

Unlike the sharp-eyed editor Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of SQ was very kind and looked like an old grandfather that you might meet in the park. In short, Naoto felt no pressure at all.

"Then Mr. Naoto, this time the animation will be handed over to Studio DEEN. Is that okay with you?"

"No problem. I'll trouble you, editor-in-chief, to take care of these matters."

Naoto didn't care much about the fact that the editor-in-chief handed the animation of Chunkchu Ichiban to Studio DEEN. Although this company had begun to decline when Naoto traveled through time, it was still an old anime company after all. Famous works such as Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan and Ranma: Part Two were all produced by this company.

Moreover, the painting style of this company itself is more suitable for Chinese culture.

"No, no, serving excellent comic authors is what we editors should do, right? Especially young and promising people like ONE, who deserve special treatment. I hope there will be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

After hearing the editor-in-chief's words, Naoto felt a little embarrassed.

But overall, today's work seems to be going pretty smoothly?

Chapter 112: Let’s go enjoy the flowers together

As time goes by, April is getting closer and closer.

As April approaches, it is time to enjoy the flowers in Japan.

As the national flower of Japan, cherry blossoms symbolize warmth, purity and nobility, and have been loved by Japanese people since ancient times. Even today, every spring when cherry blossoms bloom, Japanese people still go out to enjoy the flowers and celebrate the Cherry Blossom Festival. The gorgeous cherry blossoms and the happy people are really enviable. Basically, every year from March 15th to April 15th, as long as it is a weekend, you can basically see people out to enjoy the flowers.

Some families go out together, with parents bringing their children and the elderly, and some go together with classmates and friends.

In short, for Japanese people, flower viewing is not only a sentimental activity, but also a good time for socializing and gatherings.

It was during this time of year that Jianji, who had already become Akito's boyfriend, suddenly invited Akito to appreciate the flowers, intending to cultivate their relationship.

But Akito didn't want to leave Supreme alone, so he invited Supreme to participate.

In the end, everyone in the club was ready to participate in the flower-viewing activity this weekend.

As for why everyone agreed, it may have something to do with the "miserable" lives of these people.

Come to think of it, Naoto's parents are basically not interested in activities like flower viewing, and Kusunoki has no friends except Naoto.

Ever since his sister got into trouble, Sakuta has not been in the mood to appreciate the flowers.

As for Mai-senpai, she was a child star since she was young. She basically had no childhood. Not to mention flower viewing, she even had no entertainment activities. She was just a pitiful child.

And Yukino... does it count as admiring flowers in your own yard?

It can be said that among the group of people present, except for the kid Hachiman, basically no one knows anything about the activity of flower viewing.

Suddenly I had the opportunity to appreciate the flowers with everyone, and many people were quite interested.

It's just a pity for Jianji. He originally just wanted to go on a date with his boyfriend, but in the end, he couldn't tell who was the third wheel.

Baby Ji felt sad, but he didn't say it.

And after beating Akito up more than a dozen times in his heart, Jianji finally let it go.

After all, she already knew what kind of person her boyfriend was. If she cared about this, she would have been pissed off to death by Qiu Ren long ago.

And given Jianji's personality, he is actually quite interested in going out and playing with everyone.

It feels like it's more fun than dating.

So let’s just decide and go have fun together.

........................

The day before going to flower viewing, Naoto was preparing food for tomorrow's flower viewing.

Because this is an event in Japan, Naoto prepared some bento boxes as well as some snacks unique to Japan, such as sakuramochi, hanami dango, sakura yokan, and sakura taiyaki. Naoto even prepared some.

The sweet fragrance floats in the house, making people feel sweet just by smelling it.

Even the Saiki family, who lived next door to Naoto's family, could smell that sweet scent.

At this time, Nan Zi was sitting on the sofa in Naoya's house, and there were some food samples on the table in front of her.

At this time, Nan Zi was seen shaking her white little feet and occasionally putting a piece of dessert into her mouth.

Although there was no difference in her expression, Naoto could still tell that Kusunoko was actually quite happy.

In fact, Naoto was somewhat surprised that Kusunoko chose to participate in this flower viewing event.

After all, Nan Zi is generally averse to all kinds of so-called activities.

But this time, Kusunoki seemed to be surprisingly looking forward to tomorrow's flower viewing, which made Naoto wonder why Kusunoki was so excited.

"Nanzi, are you looking forward to the flower viewing tomorrow?"

While putting the dessert into the bento, Naoto asked Kusunoko curiously.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it."

"Why? Don't you usually hate activities like this?"

"Because, I can hang out with Naoto."

Kusunoko's words made Naoto stand there in shock. For a moment, Naoto didn't know how to respond to this.

"Because Naoto has been busy again recently, I don't know when I will have time. I'm happy to be able to go out with you."

"I'm so sorry, Nanzi, I didn't notice your feelings."

Just like what Kusunoko said, Naoto has been busy lately and often forgets about Kusunoko. Although Kusunoko said she didn't care, Naoto still felt a little guilty.

I clearly promised that I would spend time with Nan Zi after I became successful.

But now, I have more and more work to do.

Nan Zi doesn't really like flower viewing, but she is very happy to be with Naoto.

Who wouldn’t like a girlfriend like this?

"It's okay, Naoto. I know you've been very busy lately. Besides, isn't it because of Naoto's help that I've been able to make so many friends recently?"

For Nan Zi, who has the ability to read minds, she has come to know from her recent interactions with everyone that these people are kind-hearted and are all good people.

Compared to that, Nan Zi is already very satisfied with her current life.

"But speaking of tomorrow, Naoto, do you have any idea where you'd like to go to view the flowers?"

At this moment, Kusunoki asked Naoto again.

Although Nan Zi has never been there to appreciate the flowers herself, it is said that every time she goes there, the scene is always packed with people.

As we all know, no matter which country it is, there are the most people visiting various tourist attractions during holidays.

Not to mention places like flower viewing, the level of popularity is even more exaggerated than that of Apple's mobile phones.

"It should be...ok, right? I've set the alarm for six tomorrow. It should be OK when I get there, right?"

Although Naoto said this, he was still unsure.

He has no experience about the current situation of flower viewing in Japan. He asked the club members, but none of them had any idea either. What should he do?

"Is this really okay? If you can't handle it well tomorrow, it will be very difficult to deal with."

"I know, I know. I'll set the alarm for five o'clock, okay?"

For some reason, Naoto already started to feel tired even though the flower viewing event hadn't started yet.

This feeling is even more tiring than drawing comics for a whole day.

However, what Naoto didn't know at this time was that his flower-viewing activity was far from as simple as he had imagined.

As for the flower-viewing involution in Japan, Naoto greatly underestimated the determination of these people.

When Naoto got up at five o'clock the next day and rushed to the flower-viewing site, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

"Shit, what the hell is that?"
