"Masamune-kun, when do you plan to start making the anime?"

"Although the comics are very interesting, I'm still more looking forward to seeing them on TV. Just thinking about it is incredibly exciting."

"When Mashiro's manga gets a bit longer, maybe within two or three years." Masamune smiled, then bowed slightly. "Thank you for your guidance these past few days, Maishiro-sensei. It's all thanks to your guidance that this manga was born."

"No, Mr. Masamune, you are too kind. Your talent in screenwriting is outstanding, and the story itself is impeccable. I can only offer some simple help in terms of format and structure."

As they spoke, Maitake also started laughing.

Previously, Masamune had repeatedly invited him to join Musashino and guide scriptwriting.

Because of his overwhelming enthusiasm, he visited Wu Rong seven times, and Wu Rong was moved by his vision of a bright future, and finally agreed to the project.

And now, he is certain once again that this decision was the right one.

In the future, Musashino may become the world's number one dream factory.

Being able to witness such a miracle happen, even though I'm getting old, it feels like a new chapter in my life is just beginning.

"Masamune-kun, Mashiro, this manga has a novel setting and a very interesting story. Where do you plan to submit it?"

"Shueisha, right? This kind of shonen manga is best suited for JUMP."

"Indeed, the competition in JUMP is fierce, but with the quality of this manga, as long as Shueisha isn't blind, it will definitely be able to succeed."

Maitake paused for a moment, then asked again:

"Do you need me to introduce you to an editor at Shueisha? If you have a referral, you can skip the tedious submission process."

"Thank you for your help, Ms. Mai."

"You're welcome, Masamune-kun. Excellent works naturally receive many preferential treatments."

Seeing Mairou occupy the space, she walked to the window with her phone and started chatting with an editor from Shueisha, making plans to have dinner together.

Masamune stood up and sat down next to Mashiro, and said in a low voice:

"My schedule is too full today. Let me find a woman to accompany you to the editor to submit your manuscript later. If you have any questions, feel free to call me."

"Aren't you going?" Mashiro asked quietly, looking at Masamune.

"No, it's just a submission today, so it doesn't matter if I'm not there. Besides, even though I provided the story, it's still your comic."

I want to go with you.

"Thank you for your trust. I will definitely accompany you next time we sign a contract."

Seeing that she didn't say anything, but just silently looked at him, Masamune couldn't help but explain:

"I originally thought that the original manuscript would need to be revised several times, so I didn't deliberately set aside time. In addition, I had a lot of work scheduled for today, and I couldn't leave any of it."

"We have a meeting at 11 a.m. and a lunch meeting at 1 p.m. to discuss the sale of the anime Blu-rays."

"It's okay, I can manage on my own." Mashiro said softly, then added, "This is our manga, not just mine."

"Hmm...it's ours." Masamune couldn't help but laugh.

While the two were talking, Mai-chan finished her phone call and came back.

"Masamune-kun, I've already spoken with the editor at Shueisha. He's currently reviewing manuscripts at the editorial office, so you can just go directly there. Once you arrive, simply tell the receptionist his name, Sasaki Hisashi."

"Understood, Mashiro, did you write it down?" Masamune paused. "Never mind, I'll repeat it to the person who's going with you later."

"Huh...? Aren't you going, Masamune-kun?" Maizumi looked surprised.

"Isn't there a meeting at 11 o'clock to discuss the production progress and quality of the two animations? It wouldn't be appropriate for me to be absent, would it?"

"I thought that in Masamune's heart, Mashiro was a thousand times more important than animation production."

"While companionship is important, I believe that watching over someone is also essential."

As he spoke, Masamune was filled with mixed emotions.

Although the story was provided by himself, it is just a story. The fact that he was able to draw such an interesting comic is enough to show that Mashiro's growth in the past half month has far exceeded that of the past.

At that moment, he inexplicably felt the same kind of fatherly feeling as when his daughter grows up.

Even so, before his sudden death in his previous life, he was just a single man who had never raised a child.

Thinking of this, Masamune shook his head slightly, put the five original manuscripts into a file bag, and handed it to Mashiro.

"Mashiro, here's your comic book. I'll go downstairs and find you a companion."

"Who are you looking for?"

"The animation production team is having a meeting later, so we can only find someone available downstairs. Luckily, it's summer vacation, and Shizuka Sakaki and the others are here every day."

Leaving the office on the third floor and arriving at the voice actor agency on the second floor, as the distance closed, the voice actors reciting their lines gradually came over.

As I walked out of the recording studio, Miki Ando greeted me and quietly explained the situation:

"President, they're recording a voiceover for a game's CG in the recording studio."

game?

Masamune instantly remembered what she had said.

Before I arrived, Musashino was only able to take on small jobs, such as anime OVAs, web animations, and game CGs, due to poor management and the failure of the anime six years ago.

However, for reasons such as training newcomers and integrating the team, Musashino has not given up on these small jobs.

Fortunately, they have their own voice acting agency and recording studio, which are small in scale, but just right for these small jobs.

After a voice acting agency takes on a large job, they will go to the recording studio of an audio company to do the voice acting. The studio is fully equipped with staff and equipment.

For smaller jobs, voice acting is done on the spot downstairs, saving the need to find voice actors from outside.

"Ando, ​​is anyone free right now? I need someone to accompany Mashiro to Shueisha."

"Then let Azuki go; her work has just finished."

Miki Ando strode into the house and quickly called out to Miho Azuki.

"Azuki, could you accompany Ms. Shiina to Shueisha?"

Chapter 44 Was it really me who was heartless?

"Huh...? Me?"

Miho Azuki looked surprised, pointed slightly to herself, and hesitated.

In middle school, after a boy confessed his feelings to her, she made a promise with him.

Once his comic is adapted into an anime, she will play the female lead in his work and marry him.

Before that, the two sides should not meet.

Years have passed, and the two have kept in touch by phone, text message, and email, but have not met in person since graduating from high school.

The magazine in which his works were serialized was JUMP.

If you go to Shueisha, you might run into him.

This matter made Miho Azuki hesitate somewhat.

But if you think about it carefully, even cartoonists don't spend all their time running to the editorial department, so the chances of them bumping into each other are very small.

"Is there a problem?" Miki Ando asked, puzzled.

"No, it's nothing, I'm willing to go."

Miho Azuki snapped out of her daze and lowered her head slightly.

It can't be that much of a coincidence.

"Thank you. Can you drive?" Masamune asked. "If not, I'll find you another driver."

"No problem, I can."

"Great, then I'll leave this to you, Mashiro. Here are my car keys."

"Please rest assured, President, I will take good care of Ms. Mashiro."

……

Soon, inside the meeting room.

"...In conclusion, following the completion of the storyboard, the first phase of the original animation is about one-third complete."

Following Seiichi Kinoshita, Yasuyuki Takeuchi also mentioned the production progress of Oregairu.

"I'm a little faster here; the first concept art is already halfway done."

"Well then, we can probably start recording the audio now." Masamune shifted his gaze to Yuka Okitsu, who was standing to the side. "How's the training for the K-On! Five going?"

“All courses have finished and can begin at any time.” Yuka Okitsu nodded slightly.

“Great, let’s start recording gradually. It’s summer vacation now, so we have plenty of time.”

"No problem, I will adjust the schedule as soon as possible, and start at the latest within this week."

Yuka Okitsu wrote down the recording in her notebook, and then said:

"President, will the recording times for the two animations be staggered, or will they be scheduled within the same time period?"

"Since the two recording studios are not far apart, it is more convenient to arrange vehicles if they are set up at the same time."

Masamune hesitated for a few seconds, then slowly spoke:

"Let's stagger the release dates. After all, several voice actors are involved in both anime, so staggering the release dates would be more convenient."

"Understood." Yuka Okitsu quickly wrote it down.

After all the work related to animation production was discussed, seeing that Masamune seemed to be planning to adjourn the meeting, Watanabe Hayato spoke up first:

"President, there's something else I need to discuss."

"Because our previous anime, Masamune-kun, mentioned a shoujo manga called Rose Eye Steroids many times."

"When the original author of that manga was negotiating with the magazine where the manga was published and another animation production company about adapting it into an anime, he insisted on inviting Musashino to participate in the production."

"Because of this, the president of that animation production company complained to Mr. Marukawa many times on the phone, and also complained to me many times at the dinner table."

Rose Eyes?

Masamune had naturally read this shoujo manga.
