[Anime Crossover] Becoming Mangaka in Anime World

For most people, by 11 or 12 PM, they've usually finished spending time with their girlfriend and are getting ready to sleep.

But for editors, as long as there's work, whether it's day or night doesn't make much of a difference.

The quiet discussion group became active because of the package file sent by Minamoto Matome.

"This beautiful art style and storyboard treatment—if it weren't for the clear personal contact information written on it, I'd really wonder if a certain teacher created a new alias!"

"From the current level of expression in this story, even in the highly saturated 'magical girl' genre, it's a pretty good work! Minamoto Matome editor is lucky."

"Such a pity. If it weren't for the 'magical girl' theme, this stunning art style and expressive potential could have the power to break through and get selected. Right now, it's more likely to be considered a 'near-selection.'"

"The work itself doesn't matter much; the most important thing is that the teacher named 'Warrior of Love and Hope' already has very mature skills. Even without suggesting any edits, 'Puella Magi Madoka Magica' could be directly serialized in 'Shonen Jump' as a finished work. With proper nurturing, it might become one of the company's pillars in the future!"

"Congratulations to Minamoto Matome, I'm already crying tears of envy."

"Treat us! Treat us!!"

In the office.

Looking at the messages on the screen, Minamoto Matome couldn't help but smile.

An editor's salary is closely tied to the works they handle.

Whoever discovers a good piece is responsible for it, and while the only reward might be fame, if the work eventually gets a volume release, the editor will receive a small royalty.

"Since it was discovered by Xiaoyin Sha, let's have her take charge of it later."

Minamoto Matome thought for a moment, quickly edited a message, and sent it to Mihari Otosuna.

In a single-apartment.

After finishing another work, Mihari Otosuna couldn't help but sigh.

"Really, only a few works are worth watching."

After reading Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the works she had in hand seemed increasingly unappealing.

It wasn't that the stories were particularly outstanding or unforgettable, but...

Comics are all about expressing the story through illustrations, and it's clear how crucial the art is!

It's like how you can ignore the childish doodles in some comics if the story is gripping—only one teacher, One-sensei, has been able to pull that off.

Setting the plot aside, the art in the submissions from other creators was simply not good enough.

Compared to Puella Magi Madoka Magica, the difference between the two was obvious, and naturally, she couldn't keep reading them.

Mihari Otosuna glanced at the time.

23:01

"Has it really gotten this late? I'll continue tomorrow then."

She powered off the computer, stood up, stretched, quickly washed up, and lay down in bed, pulling out her phone.

"I'll just watch one video before sleeping!"

Two hours passed.

"Hehehe, Maiko-chan is so cute."

Mihari Otosuna wore a foolish grin, twisting in her bed like a lovestruck person.

A casual glance at the time in the top-left corner of her phone.

02:13

"??"

"What's going on!? How did time pass so quickly?!"

"I just watched 1462... videos! Damn it, I have to sleep! Otherwise, I'll be late for work tomorrow!"

Mihari Otosuna closed her phone and placed it aside, shutting her eyes.

Two minutes later.

"Damn it! I can't fall asleep!!"

The excitement from watching the videos had her brain buzzing; she was totally too wired to sleep.

"Forget it, let's see if there are any new messages on Line."

Mihari Otosuna grabbed her phone again, and then...

"Hm? Eh?! Is that... Minamoto Matome's message!? From two hours ago?!"

"Oh no! I didn't see it right away! Will this leave a bad impression on Minamoto Matome editor?!"

Mihari Otosuna's composure broke, and she randomly scratched her hair. "Forget it, let's see what Minamoto Matome has to say."

"Mihari, congratulations on discovering a good work. After the evaluation results are out, you'll be responsible for contacting 'Warrior of Love and Hope' teacher. Is that okay?"

"Eh?! I'm responsible!?"

Seeing the message, Mihari Otosuna was shocked, and then an overwhelming joy surged from her heart.

This was...

"Yess!!"

She had heard that editors typically get assigned to handle a teacher only after six months of employment. For a new hire like her to get this chance was like a windfall!

"I have to grab this chance!!"

Mihari Otosuna waved her fist, determination on her face.

But then...

"Damn it!"

"Doesn't this mean I won't be able to sleep at all now?!"
