Is this mangaka crazy?

Michael was furious. 'Was this the end of his favorite manga character?' He couldn't accept it at all!

Absolutely! Unacceptable!

But what could he do?

After all, Edgerunners was a manga from Japan, and this was the United States.

But...

Michael clenched his fists. He had to do something to change all this.

He immediately went to his Twitter account and posted a new blog entry.

"I really like the character of Maine in Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners. He's a qualified and excellent team leader, so Silverhand, author of Edgerunners, please don't turn Maine into a cyberpsycho, okay?"

He also added a photo of Maine fighting elegantly in Edgerunners that he had taken.

After editing this blog entry, he clicked send directly.

Soon, his blog entry was sent.

As a member of the "Anglicization Group," Michael had no intention of keeping a low profile.

On the contrary, he was quite active on Twitter, often promoting his favorite manga and expressing his own opinion on their plots.

So he is also a man with some attention and fame in the American manga world.

At least his account has over 8,000 followers who follow his tweets, which is considered somewhat famous.

And most of those who follow his tweets also know that he is a member of the manga "Anglicization Group."

Soon after, someone replied to him:

"Michael, oh my god, according to what you said, Maine becomes a cyber-lunatic in the new episode of "Edgerunners"?"

"If so, I can't accept it either."

"Has the latest episode of "Edgerunners" already been released?"

"Brother, please, I want to know what the latest episode of "Edgerunners" is like."

"Oh, no, I also like the character of Maine, please don't let him become a cyberpsycho."

"I guessed that Maine's ending wouldn't be good, but why did he have to become a cyberpsycho?"

...

Michael's blog post caused an immediate and unexpected stir.

In less than half an hour, there were already dozens of replies below it.

They were all quite indignant comments, all outraged by Maine's conversion into a cyberpsycho.

Three hours later, there were already hundreds of replies to his tweet.

Judging by the homepage and avatar, most of them should be Black men.

Over time, more and more people paid attention to this post.

This was completely unexpected for Michael.

Perhaps even he didn't expect that Edgerunners already had so many fans in the United States.

After all, Edgerunners is set in the United States, and it is very similar to the American environment.

It is no exaggeration to say that Night City in Edgerunners is California in 2077.

Therefore, the sense of substitution is very strong, especially the lives of the cyberpunks who inhabit it.

It is very similar to the lives of the lower class in the United States.

And Maine, a very rare decent Black character in manga,

has also won the affection of many Black colleagues.

So, when these colleagues learned that their beloved character might become a cyberpsycho, they immediately became indignant.

They began to post comments and 'like' this tweet.

Many people even posted their own tweets, angrily denouncing the author of "Edgerunners" for being a 'racial gentleman'.

Why should Black people be so miserable? It's fine to have villains.

But a decent Black character should have such a miserable death, right?

No!

Protest! We must protest! And the protest must be carried out with a big banner, using the "racial gentlemen" hat to force the author of "Edgerunners" to change Maine's ending.

As for the topic of "racial gentlemen" in the United States, we all know how hot it is.

Soon, the matter became so heated that Michael never imagined.

Ren, who was walking by the river with Pochita, suddenly stopped.

Pochita, feeling a sudden pull, looked at Ren strangely.

Ren squatted down and picked up a smooth, scaly green stone from his feet.

"Wow! This stone..."

He showed it to Pochita and said with bright eyes: "It's very suitable for skipping stones!"

Pochita barked twice, with a confused dog face.

She seemed not to quite understand what Ren meant.

Soon, Ren looked at the river in the distance and weighed the stone in his hand.

"Take a deep breath!

Keep calm!

Keep your feet on the ground forming a stable triangle! Keep the hand holding the stone level with the ground and the surface of the river.

Then, use your waist to drive your body, your body to drive your shoulders, your shoulders to drive your elbows, and your elbows to drive your wrists.

Use force!

In an instant, the stone in Ren's hand flew out.

It hit the surface of the river at high speed, but the stone did not sink, instead, it danced smoothly on the water.

Ren put his right hand to his forehead, watching the stones on the water.

"1... 2... 3... 4... 31... 38... 42... 51!"

"Wow! Look, Pochita! A new record!" Ren laughed with his hands on his hips.

Indeed, according to the knowledge and experience granted by the [I Am the King of Skipping Stones (Bronze)] skill, obtained from the System, that stone is the most suitable for skipping stones.

Some passers-by looked at him with confusion, while other children looked at him with bright eyes.

It seemed they wanted to come over immediately and let Ren teach them how to skip so many beautiful stones.

This is simply... great!

At that moment, Ren's cell phone rang in his pants pocket.

Ren took out his cell phone and glanced at it. "Hello, is this Ayumi? Is there something you want to tell me?"

Ayumi was a little nervous. "It's like this... Amamiya-sensei, in your latest episode, the plot where Maine showed symptoms of cybernetic mental disorder seems to have caused dissatisfaction among fans..."

"Really?"

Ren smacked his lips. "It's fine, isn't it? After all, that's how the plot is."

"But..."

Ayumi said with a wry smile: "I don't know why, but this matter spread online and caused great dissatisfaction among foreign fans. Some even said that you, sensei, are a racial gentleman..."

"Ah, is this also considered a racial gentleman?"

Ren scratched his head. "Forget it, a gentleman is a gentleman, I don't care."

"But... the company is very concerned about this matter."

Ayumi said helplessly: "It is said that this could affect the company's international image... So the chief editor said that, although the plot can remain unchanged, Amamiya-sensei, could you create a Twitter account and explain this matter?"
