Cartoonists and their assistants

Page 101

She mainly wanted to learn more about the people and things involved, hoping to have the opportunity to communicate more with Yuriko Tsukishima.

What I really like is "Maschera," which airs on Thursday nights at 5:30 PM.

Meanwhile, people associated with Yuriko Tsukishita were also waiting for the first episode of the anime to air, and many of them even tried to subtly inquire about the situation with Yuriko via LINE.

"Don't worry, watch with confidence."

Machi Mizuki and Eriri, each staying at home, gave similar answers.

"coming."

The audience kept a close eye on the passage of time.

Just as things changed, the weather forecast on TV ended, and the animation officially began airing.

"I've been waiting for so long!"

"I've finally met Menma who can move and talk!"

"I love the original work of Anohana, so I've been looking forward to the anime adaptation."

"The work I'm most looking forward to this quarter."

Wow, the production quality is amazing!

"After all, it's the company that produced the Meruru anime; they're quite capable."

"This time it's a powerful alliance."

Mizuki Machi took out her phone and looked at the constant barrage of comments on Twitter.

The audience's praise was endless.

Some praised the art style for its accuracy, some praised the detailed character movements, and others praised the voice actors...

This was an expected situation.

When the background music started playing at the end, the speed at which the screen was flooded with comments became even more exaggerated, and everyone's discussion topics instantly converged on one point.

"Wow, that was a brilliant insertion! It sounded amazing!"

"This background music is so unfair, it makes me feel so uncomfortable."

"Is a song I've never heard before an original?"

"As soon as the voice actors' voices came on, I felt a lump in my throat..."

"This song is such a perfect match."

"The anime anthem of the year!"

"I cried. I haven't read the original work, but I was inexplicably moved."

"Holy crap, this song was actually written by Yuexia-sensei! Can you believe it?"

Just as the audience was still moved, they suddenly heard this sentence, which instantly changed the direction of everyone's discussion.

"I saw it too, it's amazing! How can Teacher Yuexia write songs? Is it really that incredible?"

"The difference between people is greater than the difference between people and dogs. Now I believe it."

"Tsukishima-sensei is the MVP! Tsukishima Yuriko is always carried by Tsukishima-sensei!"

"I'm in love! I want to be a die-hard fan of Yuexia-sensei for life!"

Being called "master" by 129, who can resist that?

The new serialization has been approved, and the anime adaptation seems to be quite successful. Perhaps, just as Eriri said, the golden age of Yuriko Under the Moon has arrived.

As the two celebrated at home, their friends on LINE sent them similar congratulatory messages.

In addition, Kanata Kurusu and Ruri Gokou each sent an invitation.

Kanata Kurusu: It seems like both Kanata and your anime adaptations are very successful! How about we celebrate tomorrow? Otherwise, we'll be busy with work after the serialization starts, and it won't be easy to meet up then.

Ruri Gokou: Teacher, I'm attending an offline tea ceremony tomorrow. Could you please come with me? Perfect timing, I'd also like to have you check if my work skills have met the standards.

Machi Mizuki immediately spoke with Eriri and exchanged opinions.

The final decision was to combine both tasks and complete them together tomorrow.

As for the location, it was decided that the tea party would be held in Akihabara, a famous holy site for anime and manga fans.

......

at noon.

The group agreed to meet outside the West-East Line station.

"Miss Black Cat, your outfit..."

The first thing Kanata noticed was that the Gothic Lolita outfit the other person was wearing was different from the one they had worn the last time they met.

"That's right, it's the outfit of the Night Demon Queen from Tsukimi-sensei's 'Maschera'."

When faced with the original work, Ruri Gokou even seemed a little shy when answering.

"I knew I wasn't mistaken. I didn't expect Miss Black Cat to like the Night Demon Queen so much. But it suits you quite well... Hmm, it seems to be handmade?"

"That's right, I made it myself."

"Miss Black Cat is really skillful."

The other side of the road praised him repeatedly, and I couldn't help but feel happy.

"Whose assistant are you anyway?!"

"Beside me," Eriri said unhappily.

"Of course it belongs to Teacher Yuexia."

"You guy!"

Ruri Gokou said that on purpose to provoke her.

Even though Eriri knew it, she still couldn't help but be provoked.

"Work is work, and hobbies are hobbies. I understand that quite well."

"I am a joking man," said Mizuki Masachika.

"Sawamura, please don't mind it."

Kanata Kurusu tugged at the girl's arm.

"Hmph, for Bibi's sake, I won't hold it against you!"

Eriri was immediately persuaded to stop.

"By the way, where is your gathering?"

The topic of "Kanzuki Masashi" was changed.

"It seems to be a maid café called 'Pretty Garden'."

The black cat's answer caused a slight change in Kanata Kurusu's expression.

"I never expected it to be such a coincidence."

"What's so coincidental?"

"Because one of my acquaintances is the manager of this maid café, I was thinking of visiting you later after you invited me here today. It seems like we can go together."

She smiled slightly.

.......

"Then we'll go in first."

"Okay, I'll go meet up with them first."

Separated from the black cat for the time being, the three of them entered the 'Happiness Courtyard'.

"Welcome home, Master!"

I was greeted by several maids with sweet, coquettish greetings.

This was the first time Mizuki Machi had experienced such service, and she almost got goosebumps.

"Men are really easy to deal with."

Eriri saw his slightly flushed cheeks and gave a cold laugh.

The three of them found a corner to sit down.

"Would you like to specify a title, sir?"

A maid with black twin tails came to the table and spoke gently to him.

What are some of the titles/appearances?

"Like master, husband, so-and-so, brother, and the like."

Wow, who can handle this?

How charming!

He really wanted the maid to call out those names.

"Black shop."

The girl who was looking at the menu suddenly spoke.

"What did you say, sir?"

The maid still had a smile on her face.

"I mean, this is a rip-off!"

Eriri retorted indignantly, "The prices here are clearly more than 30% higher than outside!"

"Sir, you're joking. These are all average prices. They're not cheap, but they're not expensive either. Besides, we also have special services. Trust me, it's all great value for money."

The maid explained gently.

"It really is a budget price, Eriri, stop messing around."

Mizuki Machi offered a word of advice.

The girl glanced at him, as if to say—

You're actually siding with them! Are you completely infatuated with them?

"Sawamura, don't be jealous over such a small thing."

"How could I possibly be jealous over something like this..."

A sudden remark from Kanata Kurusu threw the girl into a state of panic.

“This sound…”

Upon hearing this, the maid on the other side also changed her expression and turned to look.

"Yo, Kirara, long time no see~"

Kurusu Kanata smiled and waved.
