Great Mangaka

Alice suggested that by revealing Takumi's true identity, Takumi's influence might increase. It was a good idea, but even if

Takumi agreed, Aika would never allow it.

Takumi refused, and through this incident, he understood one thing:

The success of manga lies in two aspects: content and sales. Sales are particularly important. Not only do they depend on the content of the mangas, but they are also limited by factors such as publicity and the author's fame. Any significant failure in any factor will affect the final sales.

On Sunday, Takumi practiced piano at Osaka No. 1 High School. While doing so, he forgot other things, so the setbacks in the heats did not affect his performance.

Hirano-sensei walked around the classroom to the rhythm of the piano, nodding secretly. 'Takumi progressed rapidly. His current piano skills may allow him to be admitted to the Central Conservatory of Music. It's a pity that this child is not interested in music...'

Thinking of this, Hirano-sensei walked up to the window and saw a little girl below.

"It's her again..."

He frowned slightly. I had seen her yesterday. Why had he come to the music building for no reason during the holidays?

As if she had noticed his presence, the girl turned around and went into the forest.

'I should be here to listen to music...', Hirano-sensei suspected. The soundproofing of the building was very good, but I opened the window during the holidays and you could also hear the piano music from below. I didn't expect Takumi's piano  to have fans so quickly.

Hirano-sensei stroked his beard and laughed. 'This genius had formed himself. Takumi was so talented that it would be a waste if he didn't learn music. No, Hirano-sensei felt that he had an obligation to guide Takumi to the sacred path of music. Maybe he would be the great musician of the future.'

But how to do it?

Hirano-sensei pondered and thought a lot until the piano music stopped. He turned around and clapped his hands: "Okay, Takumi, rest for a while."

"Yes."

Takumi stood up and wiped the sweat from his face. Alice gave him water quickly.

"Did I hear from Alice that you want to learn composition too?"

Hirano-sensei looked at Alice in surprise. He had always felt that he cared too much for Takumi, but this thought only crossed his mind: 'Takumi, you have learned the piano well. You can learn composition with me in the future.'

He was also in charge of teaching composition.

Takumi had been waiting for him and accepted immediately. Learning piano was going better than I thought. He would graduate after two more weeks of songwriting. No one would doubt him if he could present his songs openly.

But songs...

Could he use them to enhance the influence of "Inuyasha"? For example, you could find someone who dresses as a priestess, record some music videos, and upload them to the internet. He could provide the songs himself, and it would certainly pique readers' interest.

This idea lasted a whole afternoon, but in the end, Takumi gave up.

First, it wasn't realistic to make music videos by himself. I didn't know how to compose music and it was difficult to find singers and actors. Even with the help of Hinotori Publishing, the impact of the music videos produced was limited. The most important supporting characters of "Inuyasha" had not yet appeared, and it seemed that there were no good music videos.

The charm of the manga "Inuyasha" lies in the secondary characters, especially in Kikyo... It can be said that this sad maiden of the sanctuary divided the story of the manga into two parts and sublimated the entire plot.

In the evening, Alice and Takumi said goodbye to Hirano-sensei.

"Huh?"

Leaving the music building, Takumi seemed to see something glowing in the forest: "What is that?"

"Something?"

Alice didn't notice. He looked at the forest: "You saw it wrong. There is no one."

Although it is a forest, it is just a green belt. There are large gaps between the trees and few undergrowth. If there is something, it will surely be seen.

"..."

Takumi frowned. He felt that he had seen too much, so he left with Alice without paying attention to her.

After the two left, Shiori jumped out of a tree and patted him on the chest: "Almost so!"

He looked at the backs of the two of them curiously.

'Who is that foreigner?'Shiori wondered, but she didn't think too much. He looked at his mobile, turned around and left happy: 'I finally recorded the piano music today. Takumi plays the piano wonderfully. The sisters will surely have nothing to say this time. We can convince him to form a team and act.'

Takumi, who had just gotten into the car, sneezed.

'Why does it seem that someone is thinking of me...?'

He closed the window, turned to Alice, who was driving, and asked, "Alice, have you read the Four Great Classics?"

"Yes."

Alice nodded and asked curiously, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

"Nothing...".

Takumi just wanted to make sure he remembered it correctly. This world also features the Four Great Classics, and it's just like in your previous life.

Alice's suggestion  a few days ago was spot on. If he wants to defeat Kaya Hoshino, Takumi can only increase his influence, but his influence in the manga industry is already very high, so he must start elsewhere. The animation and music are not good, so there are only novels left....

Takumi is a little resistant to novels. You can use your own style to draw manga, but the text of novels is very rigid and each one has a unique style.

'The writing style cannot be falsified. To maintain the quality of the novels of his previous life, Takumi must use the same text. Different writing styles generate different sensations in readers.'

'If Takumi mindlessly copies the novels of the previous life and uses various styles of writing, he will definitely not be able to justify himself.'

"This is also the reason why he doesn't want to get involved in novels. If you copy the text, you copy everything. Effort is worth nothing. But if it is little, it will not be a big problem. Takumi doesn't want to make money from novels, but he can use them to quickly increase his popularity.'

'The diffusion of mangas is still not as good as that of novels. It's good to use novels to boost the manga market...'

"Alice",

Takumi said, "Call Editor Ye tonight and ask him to prepare a personal space or a website for me."

"Simple, but what do you want to do?"

Alice nodded, but she didn't understand the meaning of doing so.

"Writing a novel...",

Takumi replied  lightly. He looked down at his right hand. He had a lot of calluses on his fingers. It was the result of half a year of heats. They reminded him that the mangas were the direction of his efforts and that he should not give up for the next honor.

The future of the manga industry will definitely not be worse than that of novels.

"Novel?" asked Alice, startled, and almost veered off track: "Do you want to write a novel?"

'Is this boy trying to attack Kaya Hoshino's base camp? Or is he declaring war on all novelists? This is too ignorant, even more rampant than Kaya Hoshino!'

"Yes, a novel." Takumi withdrew his hand and nodded: "Maybe I'll only write a novel once in my life."

"But..."

"With just one novel, I can also revolutionize Japan."
