Is this mangaka crazy?

When the news of the final chapter of "Edgerunners" reached the United States, the book signing for the first single volume of "Edgerunners" in Japan also arrived as scheduled.

"Amamiya-sensei, are you ready?"

This time, Ayumi stepped forward at Ren's house to avoid an "accident" like last time.

"No problem!" Ren said as he changed clothes in his room, giving a thumbs up and saying.

He wore a fake two-piece knit sweater with a white shirt, loose-fitting straight black pants, and white canvas shoes.

With his slightly messy hair, he had the style of a male protagonist in a romance story! This is the "special edition for the book signing" that he combined according to the advanced clothing combinations from his previous life.

There will be no problem!

The first time Ayumi saw Ren, who was a little serious and very well-dressed, she couldn't help but blush.

At that moment, Sakura also arrived.

She looked at Ren's outfit and was happy.

"Indeed... Ren is usually handsome, and he'll be even more so if he takes a little care."

"What do you think? Sakura, is my outfit okay?"

Ren saw Sakura coming and immediately said with a smile.

"Ren, you look very good in this outfit!"

Sakura praised him: "I was afraid of your outfit... Now it seems that Ren's vision is really very good."

Of course, this is a style of dress that is almost ten years ahead of its time.

That is Ren's confidence as a transmigrator!

"Alright, get ready! I can't keep my dear fans waiting too long!"

After Ren prepared everything, he was ready to depart for the signing event.

"Okay!"

Sakura and Ayumi had no objection and nodded in unison.

"Pochita, today you can only stay home and play here obediently."

Ren touched Pochita's head and said.

"Woof, woof...".

As a dog, Pochita is very human. Upon hearing Ren say that, she didn't make a sound, only responded twice.

Ren nodded with satisfaction. This is the best thing about dogs. They are not as cold or disobedient as cats.

In his previous life, his kitten Becca was very willful. She would either run away without anyone knowing where she was, or she would always follow Ren when he went out.

If you don't take her out, you can expect her to tear up your pants.

But Becca is quite smart. She also knows that Ren is her owner, so she won't wander too far each time.

But it's still much worse than Pochita. The only thing better than Pochita is that Becca can turn into a cat girl...

hehe... hehe...

"Let's take a taxi. I'll call a car."

After leaving the street, Ayumi offered.

After all, today is a special day, and taking a taxi is more comfortable and faster.

However, Ren looked at the time on his phone and said with a smile: "We still have time to take the subway, so there's no rush...".

"Well... okay."

Sakura and Ayumi thought it made sense, and they were also people who frequently used the subway, so, naturally, they wouldn't have any objection.

The Tokyo subway is not that crowded during off-peak hours on weekends.

If the subway is not crowded, the speed is much faster than a taxi.

After Ren, Sakura, and Ayumi got on the subway, they started chatting.

"Amamiya-sensei, it's your first time appearing in front of everyone. Are you nervous?" Ayumi asked nervously.

"There's nothing to worry about, but I guess many fans will scold me then."

Ren blinked and said innocently.

"Ren, you have the nerve to say that. You drew such a sharp ending. Mangakas who draw such plots are usually hated by fans."

Sakura rolled her eyes and said.

Indeed, she is one of them. After finishing the final episode of "Edgerunners", she couldn't recover for a long time.

Especially when Lucy's last trip to the moon and David's hallucination appeared, she couldn't control her emotions.

Girls tend to be emotional, so when Sakura saw this ending, she burst into tears non-stop.

At that moment, she also remembered what Ren said at the beginning: "Lucy will never die."

Yes, Lucy didn't die, but with such an ending, who wouldn't feel that living is more painful than dying?

This angered Sakura so much that she ignored Ren for several days.

"I can't do anything. It's my fault."

Ren blinked, feeling he couldn't express his pain.

He was just a plagiarist. The tragic ending of "Edgerunners" was not created by him.

He was just an impassive imitator of paintings.

"Who else should I blame if not you?" Sakura said sadly.

"If you want to blame someone, blame Hiroyuki Imaishi."

Ren smacked his lips and said: "He designed all this!"

However, Sakura and Ayumi did not take his words seriously. After all, everyone knew that Ren's brain was abnormal.

It is estimated that, to shirk responsibility, he simply imagined a character to help him take the blame.

"It is expected that the sales of the single volume series of "Edgerunners" will reach one million copies for the first volume, but unfortunately it's a short novel and there are only six volumes...", Ayumi said with some regret: "Otherwise, the profits should be higher."

Since the volume profits are split between the mangaka and the publisher, the more volumes there are, the higher the profits.

And Ren gets more money.

But, unfortunately, "Edgerunners" is limited by the volume length, and there are only six volumes.

The content of these 38 chapters can be combined into four volumes, and each can contain about ten chapters.

However, to get more revenue, the publisher decided to release six volumes.

Of course, the single volume contains the setting of "Edgerunners", the introduction of characters and prosthetics, plus exquisite illustrations, etc.

The main content is a little more diluted, but it is sold at the original price.

"Enough," Ren said with a smile at that moment.

After inheriting his parents' inheritance and alimony from his stingy uncle, he is now rich.

He planned to rent a larger apartment near the city center.

But after telling Takeda-ojisan, he had an apartment in downtown Tokyo, with two vacant and elegantly decorated apartments.

After talking to Takeda-ojisan, Ren planned to move again next week.
