chapter 84: puella magi madoka magica
Since his sister was so confident, Izumi Chihiro didn't intend to say anything discouraging. Encountering difficulties and then overcoming them is inherently a necessary process in life.
Moreover, whether she could adapt to the subsequent work was originally an uncertain matter. Perhaps Sagiri's ability could exceed his expectations?
After deciding on the direction of the genre, he also mentioned this to the editor.
"magical girl? Izumi-sensei, you really like to surprise people, to actually choose this genre… Although it's a relatively brilliant aspect of ACG culture, the works are mainly concentrated in animation, and there are very few light novel works. If it weren't for Izumi-sensei, I definitely wouldn't be optimistic about its prospects."
Machida Sonoko said honestly.
Because the later popularity of demon slayer had actually exceeded her original estimates. As a newly debuted author, and so young, being able to maintain a profitable level was already enough to be admired.
However, Izumi Masamune not only met her expectations but also showed a very talented side, so she chose to trust his ability.
"Machida-san, just wait and see! This time, my results will definitely surpass the previous ones."
Izumi Chihiro said with full confidence.
In terms of storyline, puella magi madoka magica goes without saying, and his writing ability was no longer at its initial stage. On such a foundation, an improvement in results should be considered reasonable.
"Izumi-sensei, I naturally believe in your abilities… So go ahead and do it boldly. I will also do my best to secure more resources for you, so you can have more starting advantages."
Machida Sonoko was also infected by his confident words.
"Then I'll trouble Machida-san."
Izumi Chihiro was also quite moved.
Suddenly, he felt a heavier burden on his shoulders.
...
After establishing his direction, he felt his daily life regain vitality and a sense of purpose.
But before he could start writing, he needed to go to a place to replenish his 'ammunition depot'.
The key to improving writing ability through practice still lies in extensive reading, writing, and thinking; reading more works, absorbing their essence, and then integrating them into his own works to transform his writing style.
Therefore, every so often, he now buys and reads the latest popular light novels, all to continuously enhance his foundation.
When your talent is not as good as others, the methods you can think of, besides hard work, also require appropriate approaches.
Takasago Bookstore.
"Izumi-kun, you're here! Speaking of which, your debut work has concluded, and I haven't congratulated you yet! Here, let me congratulate you on the official conclusion of your debut work! I hope your future works will also achieve better and better results!"
The girl, who was cleaning, looked over and said with a beaming smile.
"Then I'll take that as a good omen."
He nodded slightly.
"Your way of speaking is truly cultured, as expected of a famous light novelist."
Takasago Tomoe put the broom aside and came to his side, "What, are you here today to buy new works? Perfect, I can recommend some to you; there should be quite a few that suit your taste."
She knew why the boy was there because their relationship hadn't reached the point where he would visit without a reason, so she proactively picked up the works from her recommendation shelf and introduced them.
From the works he bought in previous visits, she could accurately deduce his preferences, so Izumi Chihiro gladly accepted her recommendations and then chose two or three works he was more interested in buying.
"Izumi-kun, keep it up! I hope that one day, you can make me your true fan!"
As he was about to walk out the door, Takasago Tomoe clenched her fist and said with sincere earnestness.
"That day will come."
Izumi Chihiro turned his head and smiled slightly.
Accumulating experience to grow and improving his skill level would allow him to master a work with the style of puella magi madoka magica.
Evidently, the difficulty of the first theme was even higher, and by his own standards, it would only get higher, so he needed to do some preliminary preparation.
The few new works in front of him were the nourishment for his growth; now he needed half a month to digest them, and then approach his next work with a fresh mindset.
In his previous life, puella magi madoka magica was the only TV anime to simultaneously win Japan's three major animation awards, and it was also the most awarded Japanese TV anime in history; its excellence in all aspects was, of course, unquestionable.
He, of course, remembered the plot clearly, including the even more stunning rebellious story that came later.
When novelizing it, Izumi Chihiro only considered the plot script aspect; other things were not his concern.
When describing the novel, many parts needed to be more detailed, such as psychological descriptions, so he needed to be more attentive to the transitions of character perspectives.
Additionally, in the early stages, Homura Akemi was more mysterious and unknown, so her inner monologues would be fewer, and she would need to speak in 'riddles' as a foreshadowing, but without making readers too confused; he also had to consider this aspect.
After deliberating in his mind for half a month, and re-enacting all the characters' animated performances in his mind, Izumi Chihiro finally opened a document on his desktop, ready to type new words.
In this world, magical girls were still just magical girls, with the same old plot repeatedly, at most divided into a few factions, classifying some magical girls as villains to increase some tension and novelty.
But that was all there was to it.
From today onwards, everyone would have to accept a new concept: what is called a magical girl is actually the stage of a witch's growth.
Although it was just a simple fact, after reading this story, it would surely shock one's heart.
This sounded very cruel, especially for children who harbored beauty and innocence!
Fortunately, the puella magi madoka magica he was writing was only a light novel, and most of its readers were already of a certain age, with sufficient capacity to bear it, unless it was animated one day, otherwise it should not cause a huge blow to children's hearts.
But with such an excellent script, unless he wrote it poorly, there was no reason for it not to be animated, right?
"Hehe..."
As if thinking of something interesting, Izumi Chihiro showed a joyful expression on his face.
