Great Mangaka

Taro Tanaka was enthusiastic.

Kira Kira Animation Studio and Kanto Manga Company reached an agreement to handle the animation of Kanto manga in Osaka. After the news spread, several advertisers and investors contacted them and offered sponsorship.

Some television channels also offered them financial support and were willing to provide channels for animation distribution.

The emergence of Kanto manga led to an overall improvement in the animation situation. Taro Tanaka seized the opportunity. Now, the most promising animation company in Osaka is Kira Kira Animation. Funds, channels, and animation originals are no longer a problem after maintaining Kanto Manga Company. Taro Tanaka donated

many shares, but being a sole proprietorship, Kira Kira Animation remains in his hands and has money, which allows him to do more things,

including merging with similar companies to grow and develop.

Tsuki Animation Company is his main target. This company was founded by a young couple and has excellent animation production capabilities. The couple are not good at business, and producing animation is a very expensive business. Tsuki Animation does not know how to raise funds or how to deal with television channels. It is now facing a severe shortage of funds. Not only does it not have money to buy new animations, but it cannot even afford the office rent.

Taro Tanaka saw the opportune moment and prepared to buy it cheaply.

He took 5,000,000 yen from Hinotori Publishing and thought he could buy Tsuki Animation in one go, but the other party refused to give up and kept stalling until today.

The blood-stained sedan stopped in front of a building. Taro Tanaka got out of the car, and a man in a suit approached to greet him.

"Tanaka-san, welcome."

This building is a Class A office building, and the man is the manager, named Akio.

"Akio, has Tsuki Animation paid the rent?"

Taro Tanaka asked. He was very satisfied with Akio's appearance. Generally, clients who rent offices don't need Akio to appear in person. He came to show respect to Taro Tanaka.

"No, today is the deadline. Aren't I waiting for Taro Tanaka to come with me?"

Akio said with a smile. 'If a company's employees were expelled from the office building, it would be a big joke:' "Taro Tanaka, Tsuki Animation is desperate. I'll help you get them today. After this...".

"I know." Taro Tanaka nodded: "I'll continue to rent the office building, and I guarantee that the price will be higher than the current one."

"Great."

Akio became more enthusiastic and extended his hand: "Please, Taro Tanaka, I'll accompany you upstairs."

The two walked towards the building. Akio praised him along the way: "Lately, I always see you in the news. Taro Tanaka is the head of Osaka Animation. I heard that you were the young master of Hinotori Publishing. How were you able to start your own company? Without you, Hinotori Publishing would regret it greatly!"

To please the young master of the Tanaka family, who was in the spotlight, Akio thoroughly investigated.

Taro Tanaka was relieved to hear it.

Kanto Manga Company cooperated with him, as did the Osaka television channel. If Hinotori Publishing really wanted to launch animation in the future, Tsukimoto Genji would have to come and ask him, unless he wasn't stupid.

"Haha, then the company has other heirs..."

Taro Tanaka narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.

"Other heirs?" Akio seemed surprised, shook his head, and sighed: "Then they are very blind!"

On the six floors of the building, the two quickly arrived. Akio led Taro Tanaka and his bodyguard out of the elevator, and saw several people taking down the Tsuki Animation sign from the wall. A little further away, Tsuki Animation employees were huddled together, enthusiastically moving things.

"Huh?"

Akio and Taro Tanaka looked at each other, surprised by the scene.

"What are you doing?"

Akio asked.

"Hello, Akio, the rent has expired, and we're ready to leave."

A beautiful girl dressed as a receptionist approached and asked:

"Ready to leave?" Akio's eyes widened: "You're not going to rent it? What's going on?"

Yesterday, Tsuki Animation was still closed; the employees knew that the company was facing a desperate situation and everyone bowed their heads while working, and the atmosphere was solemn. But today, he couldn't feel that atmosphere. Although they were moving things, their faces showed a lot of excitement.

Taro Tanaka had a premonition that something was wrong. Whenever he came, the receptionist would look at him with bright eyes, serve him tea and water with great courtesy, and treat him as the future owner of the company. But this time, the girl showed no enthusiasm at all...

He was secretly displeased and smelled something bad.

"Where are you moving to?"

he asked.

The receptionist looked at him and was about to answer:

"They're coming to Hinotori Publishing."

A voice interrupted him, and Taro Tanaka looked up and saw it was an acquaintance.

"Kenji Sato, what are you doing here?"

he asked curiously. The man was Kenji Sato, Hinotori Publishing's Chief Financial Officer. He came out of an office with several documents in his hand.

"Tanaka-san, long time no see,"

he said.

"What do you mean by what you just said?"

Taro Tanaka's heart sank slightly, and an ominous premonition washed over him.

"Apparently." Kenji Sato held up the documents in his hand and curled the corners of his lips: "We've acquired Tsuki Animation, and they'll be moving into the Hinotori Building in the future."

This startled Akio, the office building manager. 'Is this client really moving out?' Akio quickly looked at Taro Tanaka, and his face paled.

"Are you kidding? Why would Hinotori acquire Tsuki Animation for nothing?"

"Of course it's to make animation." Kenji Sato smiled even more: "I'm very sorry, Taro Tanaka, I heard you're very interested in Tsuki Animation, wow!... It seems we arrived earlier by accident."

Seeing Taro Tanaka's pallor, Kenji Sato felt comforted. He was the young man he disliked the most. Back then, Taro Tanaka tried every means to take money from the company, and even bought a car in exchange for his prestige.

That was Hinotori Publishing's income for 5 or 6 years. At that time, Kenji Sato couldn't object due to his status, but this had always caused him embarrassment. Now that he saw Taro Tanaka humiliated, he felt an indescribable pleasure.

"Animation department? Impossible!" Taro Tanaka said sarcastically: "How could my godfather open an animation department? He doesn't dare to take that risk."

He knew Tsukimoto Genji very well. The old man is too conservative and very cautious in running the company. Tsukimoto Genji would rather give in to Taro Tanaka and let him make animations than risk venturing into the world of animations.

"Taro Tanaka, you're right, you understand the president." Kenji Sato nodded, smiled, and said: "But don't forget that Hinotori now has more than just the president."

He turned slightly to let the people from the office pass.

Three people came out of the office: two of them were Haru and Kenji, the founders of Tsuki Animation, and a delicate boy.

The boy stood between the young couple and smiled faintly.

"Good afternoon, I was the one who asked Hinotori Publishing to buy Tsuki Animation."

His clear voice sent a chill down Taro Tanaka's spine.

"Mirai-sensei..."

"What is this mangaka trying to do?!"
