Great Mangaka

Setting up a personal website wasn't difficult. Soon, Kurosawa informed Alice that she was ready. He prepared a certified space for Takumi on Japan's largest social network and published the news through the official website.

Takumi decided to start writing the book right away. After dinner, he went to the study and asked Alice and Aika not to disturb him.

Alice called Tomato and postponed Detective Conan's work to Tuesday.

"On Tuesday?" asked Tomato with obvious surprise: "Does Mirai-sensei have anything to do tomorrow?"

"Yes, he said he wanted to write something."

Alice didn't hide it.

"What is it?"

"A novel. The company has opened a certified space for him and he is writing a novel." Alice came out of the building, opened the car door, and replied, "I won't explain it to you in detail while I'm driving. I'll send you the address of the website later so you can have a look."

"Okay," Tomato nodded. Alice hung up the phone, sent in the website address, and went home.

I thought as I drove. 'On leaving, Takumi commented that he was writing a story and that it could be written in a day. This surprised Alice. What's so special about a novel written in one day?'

Upon returning home, Alice finished washing and turned on the computer before going to bed. I wanted to take a look at Takumi's space.

As soon as he opened the website, he discovered that the number of followers in the certified space exceeded 7,000. Only a few hours had passed, and there were so many fans.

Alice nodded slyly. 'Takumi's reputation in the comic book industry was truly unique.' He also noticed that several articles had appeared in space: one, two... a total of four. They had to be new novels. 'On average, an article was written in half an hour. Takumi's typing speed was truly amazing.'

He opened the first article. The title was

"Wukong Biography 01"

He understood it at a glance. Thinking of Takumi's question about the four great classics that night, Alice frowned slightly. 'It turned out that Takumi was planning to write Journey to the West. But Journey to the West is not easy to write. This kind of classic masterpiece has too many readers. Although there are no copyright restrictions, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction if you adapt at will.'

In the past, many films were adapted from Journey to the West. I don't know how many readers have criticized and boycotted it. The film production company was ungrateful. In recent years, no one has touched this piece of cheese with thorns.

In addition, Alice saw that Takumi published for free. He could charge to post in this certified space, but he didn't. Alice felt strange. She thought maybe she was wrong. 'Maybe Takumi had no ambition and writing novels was just a game for him.'

The contents of The Legend of Wukong seemed to reflect this point.

Alice had expectations before reading it, but after reading the first chapter, she had no idea what the story was about. The structure of the text is very strange. At first glance, it is difficult to appreciate its quality. The same thing happens to other readers. You can tell from the reviews that they are very dissatisfied.

"What a mess of a book! Is Mirai-sensei desecrating a masterpiece?"

"I came from the official website and was happy to see that Mirai-sensei had published a book, but after reading this chapter, I can only say one thing: Master, go home and keep painting!"

"Damn, it's an insult to Journey to the West again! I won't read it anymore!"

"It's so incomprehensible, the idea is too big, I can't read it."

"Trash words, trash book, I'm so angry after reading it."

All comments expressed their dissatisfaction with the content. Although most readers could speak rationally, some couldn't help but curse. Journey to the West is a historical masterpiece that accompanied the growth of the Japanese people. Its prestige in Japan is very high, and it is not surprising that there is such a reaction.

Alice also grew up under the influence of Journey to the West. If this wasn't a novel written by Takumi, she might as well feel dissatisfied.

He frowned and continued reading. After reading the second chapter, Alice sighed to herself: 'I'd better wait until I finish it before reading...'

The plot of the second chapter was also confusing and overdeveloped. I had no idea what it was about, and the book's reviews cursed it even more.

"Fuck, I read it twice with dog eyes, and found out that Tang Seng died! And Sun Wukong beat him to death!"

"Haha, Tang Seng died in the second chapter, how can this book continue?"

"Does Sun Wukong have a split personality?"

"Didn't you notice that the highlight is the second brother? Look how calm he is. He continues to laugh after the death of his master...".

Alice closed the website. I didn't want to read any more. 'It was an ordeal, an ordeal. If I kept reading, I would probably ask Takumi to stop. That boy is not good at writing books; It seems that no one can be a complete genius.'

One night later, on Monday, November 10,

Alice left early and took the subway to Takumi's house.

"Did Takumi sleep well yesterday?"

She was worried, but suddenly she heard the voice of a girl next to her, turned around and saw two high school girls.

"Mirai-sensei has an overflowing imagination. It's out of control."

"Yes, why write novels if you have nothing to do? Now people are looking forward to laughing at you!"

"I heard that Tatsuryū Novel's reporter will livestream the completion of The Legend of Wukong today at noon. Are Mirai-sensei being attacked? Why did Mirai-sensei note the completion time?"

"I know, it's so despicable... Seeing others mocking The Legend of Wukong, to top it off, the live broadcast, and I knew that they managed to contact NHK's cultural channel."

NHK's cultural channel? Live streaming?

Alice was stunned. 'He hadn't noticed all night. How did things get to this point?'

Tatsuryū Novel is the undisputed leader in the publishing industry. It has numerous newspapers and magazines, and even a television program. They often use this program to present various news from the world of novels and are also connected to NHK's cultural channel.

Today is Monday, and NHK's cultural channel will broadcast a few minutes of Tatsuryū's column. 'Doesn't Tatsuryū Publishing plan to present its own novels this week, but to broadcast 'Wukong Biography' live?'

No, that's impossible!

Alice was nervous. He had to ask Takumi to postpone the end to avoid Tatsuryū's column. Tatsuryū's influence cannot dominate NHK. They only have a few minutes of time to report. If Wukong Biography is not finished, it may not be livestreamed.

Rushing to Takumi's house, Alice knocked on the door of the study and told him this.

"When does that column start?"

Takumi asked, with dark circles under his eyes and looking very tired.

"The cultural focus is at 1:00 p.m., and from 1:10 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. is the Tatsuryū column." Alice nervously replied, "Takumi, please stop writing."

"Stop writing? Why not?" Takumi shook his head and closed the door: "I'll publish the last chapters in one go in those minutes, please don't bother me."
