Tokyo Rebirth: Start From Picking Up Sayu

With the addition of Mayu Sagara, the last vacancy in the studio has been successfully filled.

And this also represents the official launch of game planning.

Like a machine that has just been wound up, the studio begins to run.

Whether it's Shiu who is responsible for writing the script, Eri who is responsible for the first original painting, or Yoshida and Tomoya Aki who are responsible for program development, everyone acts independently.

Even Hasumi Kanoko began to be busy looking for a good outsourcing company.

As for the newly joined Namishima Dekai and Sagara Mayu, they are not idle either.

Following the advice given by Akane Kurisaka, Yusuke Kato assigned part of his manga work to them.

In addition to unifying the painting style as quickly as possible according to the needs, the two women also had to help him with tasks such as background and coloring, playing a proper assistant role.

This job is not difficult, it is simply very tedious.

Even if you just find someone to practice with for a period of time, you can make a big difference, even if you really do it with you.

For example, drawing grids, pasting dot paper, perfecting details for storyboards, etc...

How difficult are these things?

The answer is of course no.

Although there are also experienced writers who use a draft without even the facial features of the characters as a storyboard, and leave the rest to their assistants.

But Yusuke Kato is obviously not in that category.

He will not skip the parts that should be painted, but only divides the subsequent processes that need to be processed.

This is also a common relationship between cartoonists and assistants in the industry.

Generally speaking.

Depending on the popularity of the work, a serial cartoonist will have about 3 to 5 assistants.

The assistants will learn from the cartoonist until they can draw a comic strip themselves. At that time, they will set up their own business and recruit their own assistants.

This is a general ecological cycle.

This is basically how everyone came here.

But someone like Kato Yusuke, who draws everything by himself and can draw quickly and well, is just a loser.

In fact.

In addition to his friends around him, the outside world has always believed that he has his own assistant.

Otherwise, if his actual situation is known, it may cause quite a disturbance.

After all, that was too incredible.

Back to the topic.

Facing the work assigned by Kato Yusuke.

Mayu Sagara, who had published a book of her own, got started immediately and did it well.

As for the sea trip to Hashishima, which is far away in Nagoya.

Kato Yusuke was unable to intuitively understand the specific situation there and could only communicate regularly through video.

However, he still deliberately made adjustments when making assignments, trying to give the more difficult tasks to Mayu Sagara, and the rest to Dekai Hashishima.

Neither of them had any objections to this, and they were even happy to be 'entrusted with important tasks'. They silently learned all kinds of knowledge and skills from him, and asked detailed questions from time to time.

Kato Yusuke didn't have any secret thoughts about this. He basically answered all questions and talked about everything he knew.

Seeing him so easy to talk to.

Mayu Sagara, who was still a little nervous at first, and Namishima went out to sea, but they also threw their inner worries away.

During this period, their respect and admiration for him also increased day by day.

From "Fujimotosuki-sensei" to "teacher" at the beginning, the change in title was so natural, as if he regarded himself as his little apprentice.

The relationship between the three of them has lost its original vitality and has become much closer.

This feels a bit like Nakamura Katsu and Koyano when they were in school, and they were deeply loved by the students.

Of course, Kato Yusuke did not get any practical benefits.

Even though it was just a trivial task, it suddenly gave him nearly twice as much time as before!

In order to finish the book as soon as possible, Kato Yusuke devoted all the extra time to the manga.

In addition, Yamaguchi's study sessions were also held simultaneously.

In order to cope with the final exam, the Mangtake brothers and Himekawa Yoshiko would come to the studio basically every day after school and study together in the conference room or lounge.

Kei also went with them.

Sometimes the person in charge of tutoring is Kato Yusuke, sometimes it's Hasumi Kanoko, and occasionally Shiyu will come to join in the fun.

Later, even Serizawa Yu and Shinjoka also participated.

Since the navy incident, Shinjoka, who played a huge role in it, has also been accepted by the members of Kato's team. Even Himekawa Yoshiko, who is not too cold towards her, has changed a lot because of this.

On the other hand, some changes have also occurred between Yinglili and An Yilun.

Although no one knew the specific details, they could still tell one thing.

That is, An Yilun has suddenly become much more attentive recently, and often takes the initiative to do things such as serving tea and water for Yinglili.

The days passed in such a compact and orderly manner.

The week flew by.

Private Toyosaki ushered in a three-day examination week.

With the bad training from the previous week, the members of Kato's team performed well this time, and the Mangkhut brothers were also very excited when they answered the questions afterwards.

Then, the transcripts were sent out on the last day before the holidays.

There are a total of 40 students in Class E this year.

Yamaguchi and Takei finished 28th and 29th respectively.

Kei and Kako were ranked 16th and 21st.

Shintiaoxiang is ranked 20th.

Finally, there’s Yusuke Kato.

Not surprisingly, he once again ranked first in his year and received an excellent evaluation with a deviation value of 75, which was only 3 points away from Shiyu's 78.

People can't help but feel emotional about this.

It doesn’t matter if a person is more handsome than you, it doesn’t matter if he is richer than you, it doesn’t matter if he is more popular than you, or he has better motor skills than you. In the end, he even has better academic performance than you.

This feeling of being crushed by others in all directions makes it difficult for people to even think about catching up, and they can only hold back.

Kato Yusuke didn't take these things to heart.

After finishing the exam, he sent the original manga manuscript to the Immortal River.

From episodes 49 to 58, the manuscript this time has a total of just over 200 pages.

Suddenly seeing such a thick pile of manuscripts, Editor Suzuki couldn't help being shocked, and his eyes almost popped out of his head.

But after hearing that he had increased the manpower of the studio, he suddenly realized it, and happily accepted the manuscript, and decided to publish a supplement at the end of the year.

On December 23, school ended earlier than usual.

Kato Yusuke was listening to the Sangos brothers chatting about winter vacation plans, while he started to pack his personal belongings and prepare to leave school.

At this moment, Himekawa Yoshiko suddenly jogged up.

"Hey, everyone, listen to me."

There was a hint of excitement on her face, and she deliberately kept her voice low, as if sharing a secret.

"You must not have guessed what I just saw? That Xiaohui was actually called to the atrium by a boy. Is this really the one~?"

"That?" Yamaguchi blinked and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about confessing?"

"Yeah, yeah! That's it~!"

Himekawa Yoshiko nodded with approval, "And I saw them going there with my own eyes. This is definitely a confession~"
