The Sakura Garden community saw the end of the animation, and praises resonated.
"It's my first time seeing this animation; it's very exciting!"
"I'm really looking forward to the plot later; it seems I'll have to go to the animation department more often in the future." "Pokémon," he hadn't expected it to be so exceptional. Hinotori Publishing's animation department was established two months ago, but it didn't communicate much with the original departments. The mangaka and editors were completely unaware of it.
In fact, when it was established, it caused a stir within Hinotori Publishing. At that time, they faced pressure from Kanto Manga. After seeing that the company blindly entered the animation industry and that its first work was the first episode of Pokémon, people were convinced.
"Mirai-sensei is truly excellent in everything he does!"
Since his debut, Mirai-sensei has created miracles again and again. None of his works have failed to have good sales, and this animation will undoubtedly be no exception.
The editors looked enviously at the kitchen, where Alice was helping Aika prepare dinner.
That beautiful editor was the luckiest person in all of Hinotori Publishing. In fact, she became Mirai-sensei's exclusive editor, and for a long time, she completely took away opportunities from other editors.
"Mirai-sensei, did I hear that you created all the songs for this animation?" Hiroshi Kawakami asked nervously. "And those Pokémon, did you design them?"
Before Takumi could reply, Tomato laughed.
"Yes. Mirai-sensei did all that!" His eyes suddenly lit up and he turned to Takumi: "Sensei, I heard you're experimenting with new themes for the New Year; is that true?"
The other editors looked at each other. 'Yes, how could they forget? Mirai-sensei is preparing a new theme, a blessing for all the mangaka in the company!'
In recent months, these mangaka have become best-selling authors of Gundam and Magical Girls manga, just like Sakura. Since she started drawing magical girls, her popularity has increased enormously. If it weren't for the appearance of Kanto Manga, Sakura could have competed with the romantic princess Kaya Hoshino in the female manga market.
This phenomenon has greatly increased Mirai-sensei's popularity at Hinotori Publishing. If before there were still people who envied his achievements, now all mangaka consider him a respectable person and hope that he will propose more themes and ideas. There are even some mangaka who have finished their series and are reluctant to start new manga, waiting for Mirai-sensei to make a move.
For editors, Mirai-sensei's themes are more realistic. If their mangaka seize the opportunity, their bonuses will be higher.
"Mirai-sensei, is the new theme ready?"
"What's the theme? Reveal it!"
the editors asked, pestering Takumi. Takumi hadn't discussed it with Genji yet, so, naturally, it was difficult to reveal. '"Pokémon." Do you think there's anything strange about it?'
"Strange? Nothing..." 'What's so strange about Pokémon?'
"I think it's good."
The editors' replies reassured Takumi. His evaluation of Shiori was still very low. She could do voice acting at this level as if she were a beginner. 'Once she masters the skills, she can do incredible things!'
Takumi looked at Shiori with admiration and was about to say something when his cell phone rang.
He took it out and saw that Miyuki was calling. 'Why was she calling?'
"Mirai-sensei!"
However, when the call connected, the voice that came out surprised Takumi. 'Wasn't that Haru?'
"Haru, what's wrong?"
"Oh, I really heard it... Mirai-sensei, Miyuki has been discharged from the hospital. She said she wanted to come work for our company. Did you accept?"
Haru asked on the phone.
"Discharged?" Takumi asked, surprised, and then said: "Well, let her come."
Although it was a repayment, Takumi felt that Miyuki was undoubtedly his lucky star. Not to mention things from his previous life, Tsuki Animation was able to succeed, and it was also thanks to Miyuki's intermediary role.
"I have to find her a good job,"
Takumi thought to himself, and then hung up the phone.
"Woman?"
Suddenly a voice sounded, and Takumi was startled to see Shiori appear beside him.
"Yes, yes, is there any problem?" Takumi said, a cold sweat breaking out; 'Shiori was too elusive.'
"No." Shiori pouted slightly: "Takumi, I want to continue being a voice actress."
"Huh?"
Takumi's eyes widened, wondering if he had misheard.
Shiori was very direct. After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Mirai-sensei!" Tomato looked at Shiori's back and asked curiously: "Is Shiori a voice actress?"
"She's Ash's voice, the male protagonist of Pokémon."
"No!"
"I can't hear anything! Isn't Ash a boy?"
Everyone was stunned.
Soon, Aika and Alice prepared dinner. On the first day of moving, this meal was considered a celebration meal, and they ate until 9:00 PM.
Then, the guests began to disperse. Shiori and Aika took care of washing the dishes, while Takumi sent the assistants and editors to the community gate.
"Mirai-sensei, you usually work too hard."
On the way, an editor said to Takumi: "Other mangaka hire two or three assistants for each serialized work, but you're serializing two works at once, and you're also responsible for animation and other tasks. Why don't you consider adding some assistants?"
"Yes, Mirai-sensei. My teacher Kusano has always wanted to learn from you. If you need an assistant, you can tell me anytime."
"Isn't Kusano's serialization halfway through? My teacher Matsumoto is about to finish it. He has good drawing skills and is the ideal assistant."
This group of editors didn't forget to promote their own mangaka before leaving. They helped with the move because they wanted to get some benefit from Takumi. This is not surprising.
Takumi felt sad.
Alice told him that the manga industry is growing rapidly. New mangaka have emerged at Kanto Manga. Those mangaka are not as good as Takumi, but they have dealt a heavy blow to other original mangaka at Hinotori Publishing.
Everyone longs for Takumi's help. And the editors' actions are, in fact, a manifestation of this desire.
"I'll consider it."
Takumi nodded and accepted the editors' words, but he knew that assistants were not the solution. To save Hinotori Publishing and the original mangaka, he had to take further action.
Tokyo, Central Ministry of Culture.
In an office, several employees were organizing materials.
"Have you received the latest information about Osaka?"
"Some reports and photos have been scanned... The target this time is incredible. His fans gathered in more than 10 plazas in Osaka. His fanaticism is comparable to that of a star."
"Normal and attractive people can easily attract fans. We've been investigating him for almost 20 days. Every report I received shocked me. Now I'm almost paralyzed."
"Hurry up and sort out the information. I want to leave work."
'How many more days do you think we have to investigate? Why haven't the superiors said anything yet?' "Hey... This photo is interesting. It's in a square. A paralyzed old man stood up after watching the animation... Do you think we should submit it?"
"Damn it! You're exaggerating... Veto!"
"Veto!"
The employees chatted while working, and their hands were not slow at all. Soon, the information was correctly classified, and the report was written and compiled.
The file's title was already written on the folder: "Mangaka Mirai-sensei Investigation Report No. 18."
The report was handed over, reviewed several times, and finally fell into the hands of an old man.
The old man sat in a room filled with the scent of books, put on his glasses, and carefully examined the report. On his desk, there were 17 identical reports stacked.
After reading it carefully, the old man picked up the phone.
"You can stop now."
His voice was a little old: "Mirai-sensei's animation has passed the evaluation."
"What...".
The voice on the other end stopped abruptly: "Minister, the animation won't be broadcast until this afternoon; how did you come to such a quick conclusion?"
"It's no longer necessary."
The old man slowly said: "He could have finished his evaluation a long time ago, but the animation is about to air, and I just want to take another look."
"..."
The person on the other end of the microphone solemnly said: "But Minister, he has musical talent that has not been evaluated."
"Music?" The old man shook his head: "We have many musicians, but we lack mangaka... The manga industry is still very weak, and Mirai-sensei has met the standards."
"Then...".
"Well, although Kanto is our support company." A light gleamed in the old man's eyes: "But Mirai-sensei has great potential. You gave Kanto a warning, and I told you the content a long time ago."
"Yes..."
"Remind those capitalists too that the central government has started to protect Mirai-sensei." The old man said: "Don't let the news leak to the market. The government maintains its traditional neutrality and does not hinder normal competition."
"Okay." The voice on the microphone nodded and then asked: "So, what is Mirai-sensei's official code name?"
The government will not directly reveal the name of the person it wants to protect, because it is easy to leak it and affect the market, so they are generally given code names, and only those who should know will know.
The old man pondered.
"I remember a child had the code name Angel Mangaka. So this Mirai-sensei, let's call him Devil Mangaka...".
"A mangaka with devilish skills and temptation." The old man smiled: "I'm really looking forward to seeing how much the manga industry can develop."
