Through Yoshida's recommendation, Shizukawa's new manga was given the opportunity to be published in a monthly magazine...... Then, at Yoshida's strong invitation, Shizukawa followed a certain editor in charge who came to collect the manga manuscript, and went to the editor's base camp of the monthly magazine to discuss matters related to his manga serialization!

Although at the beginning, Shizukawa did not delay the completion of the manga "CLANNAD" because he had to negotiate the serialization of the manga...... Although he agrees with Shizukawa's diligent and serious work attitude, Makoto Takahashi still successfully persuaded Shizukawa to go to the editor to discuss matters related to manga serialization on the dangerous reason of "If you don't go, I'll kill you"!

However, it is a little regrettable that Shizukawa's manga was not serialized in the end from the next monthly issue......

It's exciting news for such a rare opportunity, and for others who are working as assistants but have dreams of becoming cartoonists...... However, after calmly thinking about it, Shizukawa negotiated with Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine, and proposed to postpone the publication of the new manga until after the end of the manga "CLANNAD"!

After listening to Shizukawa's conditions, Sasaki, the editor-in-chief on the editorial side, agreed to this seemingly rude request while expressing his understanding!

After all, judging from the current situation of the monthly magazine, the manga "CLANNAD" occupies an overwhelming advantage! Even the manga "PCP", which was previously in the weekly magazine and caused many topics, can only barely maintain the status quo despite the best efforts of Yumeha Agi in Ajo...... Not to mention other comics!

No matter how novel the new manga style of Shizukawa is, no matter what twists the plot has, if you want to face the tough manga "CLANNAD", there is absolutely no chance of winning! Not only because of the difference in popularity among cartoonists, but more importantly, with the current popularity of the manga "CLANNAD", it is definitely not something that can be shaken by a new serial!

Shizukawa also doesn't want to start serializing his new manga in the monthly magazine before the manga "CLANNAD" is finished!

Let's not mention using my new comics to fight against the irrational behavior of monster-level works like "CLANNAD" for the time being...... The real reason why he proposed to postpone the serialization was that Jinghe didn't tell anyone on the editor's side!

Because yesterday I went to discuss matters related to the comic serialization, Shizukawa's work was not completed...... Out of the assistant's sense of responsibility or for other reasons, Jinghe is going to finish it earlier than he finishes today, in order to finish the rest of his comic sketch yesterday before the others on the assistant's side start working!

Shizukawa didn't think that coming to work early in the morning would interfere with Makoto Takahashi's rest...... In the past three months, when I worked with Makoto Takahashi to complete the comic draft of "CLANNAD" day and night, Shizukawa had a new understanding of the work attitude of a secondary and secondary cartoonist!

But then again...... Is it really just a comic strip?

If you don't finish the manga, you'll die......

The meaning of life is to complete the comic sketch......

Even if you become a demon, you have to finish the manga before you lose your mind......

Makoto Takahashi at that time, the feeling for Shizukawa was probably like this!

Putting aside the memories in his mind that almost made him feel psychologically shadowed, Shizukawa took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Makoto Takahashi's house! After the door was opened, before Shizukawa could react, someone held down his shoulder! And not only the shoulder, but also the legs used to stand, there was also the feeling of being hugged at the same time......

"Nana, Ruko, why don't you agree to the conditions of my dependent cat and start serializing new manga from next month? Why exactly?" Shizukawa can know without even looking at it with his eyes that the person who is slapping himself on the shoulder at the moment is Makoto Takahashi in a white coat!

"Why, meow?" was Rin Takahashi holding his left leg...... It's not just a little Lori with a cute appearance.,Under someone's bad taste education.,Even the way of speaking,It's already started to use a kitten-like sound as the ending word!

The reason why he stammered was because he felt a little embarrassed to do this kind ......of thing, right? Sure enough, the most normal thing is that Ogata Seiji is the little Shota......

"Uh......" Silent River is irresistibly stuck in a state of stupor!

It's not because a secondary and secondary cartoonist uses the [Fixation Technique] when he pats himself on the shoulder, or the legendary long-lost secret technique like [Sunflower Point Acupuncture Technique]...... It's because of the two little children who hugged their legs!

Rin with two ponytails, blinking big eyes, a curious look appeared on her immature face, and a sweet smile......

The essence of the hedgehog head, obviously just a little Zhengtai, but he put on a troubled look of an adult, plus the action of scratching his head......

This is the so-called [Moe]!

"Oh, Ruko, your expression is really funny!" Makoto Takahashi finally stopped patting Shizukawa on the shoulder, picked Rin up, and said with a happy expression, "Sure enough, even Ruko can't resist the trio skill of [True Moe Killing Technique]!"

"......" Jinghe rubbed his shoulder, which was slapped by Makoto Takahashi, and looked at Makoto Takahashi with helpless eyes on his face...... Judging from someone's excessive [daughter control] attributes, when Makoto Takahashi slapped himself on the shoulder just now, he definitely deliberately used force!

"Tsk, Ryuko, don't underestimate the power of this combat skill!" Makoto Takahashi just touched Xiao Zhengtai's hedgehog head as if soothing at Seiji's pitiful look of pulling his trouser legs, and said to Ruko with interest, "When I was practicing this combined combat technique last night, even the witch Rina who was the target of the attack fell into a state of inability to fight for a short time!"

This is not something to be proud of! Why do you want to practice such a strange combat skill?

"Teacher Phoenix Academy, about my comic ......" Although I really want to complain about Makoto Takahashi's deliberate practice of this weird combination of skills, Shizukawa still plans to answer the reason why Makoto Takahashi himself did not agree to serialize the comics before complaining!

"That kind of thing doesn't matter......" Makoto Takahashi unceremoniously interrupted Shizukawa, who wanted to stop talking, and said with anticipation on his face while teasing Rin in his arms, "Na, when the critters come, use this technique...... Oh, I've seen the ending!"

"Eh, it doesn't matter, then the teacher of the Phoenix Academy, you just ...... it" Didn't you ask the reason just now? Why is it ...... now? Obviously, for the thinking circuit of a second-year cartoonist, Jinghe said that it was beyond his understanding!

"It's just to be able to make Liuzi feel instantly mentally paralyzed when you perform a combination of skills......" Although the irresponsible beard of a certain middle school cartoonist makes Jinghe feel perfunctory!

Shizukawa is no longer planning to continue talking to Makoto Takahashi...... Because according to Makoto Takahashi's current state of excitement, if you continue to talk, you will not only be bullied, but you may also affect the completion of the manga manuscript in the future!

"Now, Ryuko, although you didn't tell my dependents or the commander why you postponed the manga, but ......" However, Takahashi Makoto didn't intend to let Shizukawa go, "I was thinking that the reason for your postponement wouldn't be because you couldn't take into account the simple reason of not being able to complete two manga drafts at the same time, right?"

The river was silent......

It's not that he still holds a grudge against what happened just now, at least Jing He, who is a man, is not so petty in terms of strength...... The reason why he is silent is because Shizukawa doesn't know how to answer Makoto Takahashi!

Is it like the editor and the editor-in-chief, saying perfunctory things to deceive......

"If that's the reason, there's no need for you to postpone the serialization!" Takahashi Makoto looked at the silent river and shook his head silently, "ANYWAY, THE COMIC "CLANNAD" IS ALMOST OVER, EVEN IF YOU LEAVE NOW, I CAN COMPLETE THE REST OF THE PLOT ALONE! NOT TO MENTION THAT THERE ARE SLAVES SUCH AS DINGDINGJISAN AND SMALL ANIMALS...... Ahem, there are other assistants who say!"

Or will you tell the real reason......

"Oh oh! Sneaking critters have been discovered!Rin, Seiji, ready!" After seeing Ueno Aoi in the distance from the window, Makoto Takahashi put down Rin in his arms and prepared for the combination of skills...... However, after seeing Shizukawa, who was in a confused and tangled state, Makoto Takahashi said casually, "No matter what the reason, since you are the one who completed the manga, then you must be the one who decides how and when the manga will be serialized...... You don't want to see the comics you created yourself and be crushed by the comics you participated in completion, right?"

“…… When, of course not!" Although he knew that Makoto Takahashi was not wrong, Shizukawa, who was full of black lines on his face, said that the reason why he postponed the serialization of the manga would definitely not be this reason!

But......

Because when you help the teacher of Phoenix Academy to complete the "CLANNAD" comic draft, whether it is dealing with the light and shade of the comic background, or the depiction of the characters' expressions, or even the perception of life...... I've already gained a lot!

If the monthly magazine starts serializing my new manga from the next issue, it will mean going against the manga CLANNAD, the manga that I worked on and the manga that changed my life......

And not just because I didn't have the confidence to compete with the CLANNAD comic......

It's not just because they don't have the strength to challenge the teachers of Phoenix Academy......

It's that I don't want to use my own clumsy work to fight with the comic "CLANNAD"! Not to mention that now I am not qualified to challenge the teacher of Phoenix Academy!

This is the real reason why Jing He asked to postpone the serialization of his comics!

It's a pity for the quiet river who is not good at words...... If you want to say this kind of thing directly to Makoto Takahashi, it's basically an impossible task to visualize! )
