Clearing her throat, Takegami Kasumi's doggy eyes also became mottled and bright at this moment:

"...But to be honest, if Mochizuki-san's manuscript is really shown to a manga editor, he might get scolded severely."

"Indeed."

The cartoonist, who is very self-aware and interested, also nodded at this moment:

"After all, there are a lot of people in the industry who are good painters. Seeing my level that has not graduated from kindergarten, I will definitely be angry enough to enter the red temperature state."

"...Speaking of it, Mochizuki-san."

Kasumi Takegami gently held the manga manuscript with a serious expression:

"Leave aside the comic style... I just heard you say that the protagonist of this comic is bald and a hero wearing a cape. Is he in the invincible style?"

"That's it."

Mochizuki nodded slightly, then became a little confused:

"...What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just think this setting is a bit messy and vaguely interesting..."

The girl who has always been obsessed with the unrestrained temperament of comics also said this at this moment:

"So, Mochizuki-san, can you lend me the manga manuscript to read carefully?"

"...But don't you have the manuscript in your hands?"

"Oh, oh, yes, yes."

"........"

Seeing the girl in front of her with a shaggy hair and dog eyes flipping through the manga manuscript hurriedly, Mochizuki couldn't help but sigh.

This new friend...why is he acting like Kurihara Saki?

14. One Punch Man is being serialized

The setting of One Punch Man is quite simple and crude. The protagonist is set to be invincible at the beginning of the story. He can kill everything with one punch. No enemy can make him fall into a difficult battle or desperate situation——

So... Takegami Kasumi is also very concerned about how to draw a complete comic and create an interesting story with such a random setting.

With such curiosity, the girl gently opened the manga manuscript Mochizuki handed to her.

In the scrawled picture, City H is being bombed indiscriminately.

The monster who launches an attack on the city looks like the devil Piccolo with a different color.

With a wave of his hand, the city street exploded into flames, and miserable screams rang out from all directions.

And officially at the moment when the fake Demon King Piccolo was about to extend his claws to the lost little girl, the protagonist of the comic came on the stage and directly saved the girl!

"........"

Looking at this comic with very cool storyboards, an eye-catching opening, and quite funny drawing style, Takegami Kasumi always felt like her head was spinning.

Suddenly, she felt that Mochizuki's comics seemed to have an inexplicable magic power - they looked ridiculous, but they always made her want to read further...

With some faint throbbing, the girl continued to read the comics.

Saitama, a bald man with a simple style and a cape, makes a grand appearance, saves the girl, and also makes the big devil Piccolo angry.

Perhaps he felt that the scrawled bald head in front of him was too nosy. The monster's muscles flexed with resentment towards humans, and its appearance became huge, and its fangs protruded——

Although the painting style is very crude, Takegami Kasumi has to admit that Mochizuki-san is still very good at creating a sense of oppression and storyboarding... Leaving aside the painting style, this strength He is indeed very talented.

The next step is the battle...According to the setting, the protagonist seems to be very strong. If he is invincible, how should he draw the battle?

At this moment, the girl had a lot of thoughts.

But...just as Takegami Kasumi was thinking about it, a stick figure battle that shook the world and made people cry was about to come.

She just stared dumbfoundedly at the next page of the comic, where Saitama, the bald and caped man, smashed the monster to pieces with one punch!

On the next page, the invincible One-Punch Man Saitama-kun just fell to his knees on the ground, lamenting the tragic situation of accidentally killing his enemy again.

This concludes the first episode of "The Bald Man in the Caped Man".

".......ah?!"

Seeing the extremely abstract scene in front of him evolve at this moment, Takegami Kasumi's little hand holding the water glass began to tremble continuously.

"Is this... gone?"

As if she couldn't believe that these ten pages of comics ended just like this, the girl kept flipping through the manuscript, but she didn't find any missing pages——

Realizing that President Takegami in front of him seemed to be unable to recover, Mochizuki handed the baked cookies to Kasumi Takegami and tasted the sweet dessert:

"The first episode of Bald Man in the Caped Man really has so much content... Takegami-san, do you want to eat? The cookies are almost cold."

Kurihara’s mother once taught herself to know how to share, and Mochizuki is also well versed in this:

"I still have some tea leaves. Do you want to drink some tea to calm down?"

"Ahem......No, no need."

Perhaps finally realizing her gaffe, the girl cleared her throat and deliberately concealed her somewhat embarrassed expression:

"I'm actually a little surprised...I didn't expect Mochizuki-san's comics to be so...unique."

"Chic?"

Mochizuki's brain is running wildly:

"Is this a polite gesture from President Takegami to me?"

"No, it's not..."

Takegami Kasumi, who has always been very serious when it comes to comics, also shook his head at this moment:

"I was simply shocked by the comics created by Mochizuki-san...I never expected that in today's comics industry, I could see such anti-conventional comics."

"Very high rating."

The lonely old Ji, who was sitting at the dinner table and eating alone, finally couldn't help but complain twice:

"...So you two, now that you've finished reading the comics, is it time to come up and have dinner?"

"Eh...Okay, okay."

Kasumi Takegami quickly put down the manga in her hand, and sat down at the dining table with Mochizuki in despair. She looked like a child who was caught sneaking out, with her head hanging down, and she faced her mother Kurihara speechlessly.

"...Really, I finally made a table of food, but if you don't eat it, it will all get cold."

While saying this with a slightly unhappy mood, Kurihara Saki seemed to have remembered something and asked with interest:

"So...Little Chengzi, do you also think Mochizuki's comics are funny?"

"Yes... and it's very counter-intuitive."

Kasumi Takegami, who has always been deeply influenced by the three principles of youth jump, friendship, hard work and victory, couldn't help but nodded at this moment:

"Apart from the elementary school-level painting style, the storyboards and story of "The Bald Man in the Caped Man" are very attractive. It's been a long time since I watched a good work that made me want to know the follow-up after just one episode."

"...that's it."

Kurihara Saki gently picked up the hamburger meat, and a hint of teasing appeared on his usually expressionless face.

She gently elbowed the boy next to her and said:

"So, when will your comic style become more normal and you will submit it to Shonen Jump?"

"...Well, I'm usually busy, so I may have less comic practice."

Mochizuki rubbed his head, thinking that his second year of high school would start tomorrow, and he still had to study, write songs and play games, and he couldn't help but feel a chill running down his spine.

Can his painting style really transform and evolve? The young man really couldn't tell.

Looking at the casual style of the simple sketch in front of him, Mochizuki was speechless for a while.

However, it was also at the moment when the young man was thinking a lot.

Takegami Kasumi said this:

"Actually, it doesn't have to be changed... After all, Mochizuki-san's painting style is too crude, maybe it can be used as a selling point or something."

".......what?"

Mochizuki was slightly stunned:

"Can this actually be used as a selling point?"

"Of course. After all, comics are about making dreams. No one stipulates that comics must be well-drawn, right?"

Kasumi Takegami said this quite expertly, and her whole expression showed a sophisticated feeling:

"If you ask me, Mochizuki-san can try publishing this comic online first, see how the response is, and then make follow-up plans."

"...Send it online?"

Mochizuki nodded in understanding:

"I see - if you think about it carefully, it would be unrealistic to send my comics to industry leaders like Shōnen Jump. It would be easier to get attention if you post them online."

"Yes, yes, so Mochizuki-san, please quickly post it online and try it out——"

"But President Takegami."

Gently interrupting Takegami Kasumi's words, Mochizuki responded with a calm expression:

"I was joking just now - I actually posted this comic online some time ago."

"Eh...is that so?"

Hearing what Mochizuki said, Takegami Kasumi's puppy tail wagged even more happily:

"I'll go search and see... Is the name of the comic also called Bald Man in the Caped Man?"

"No, if you post it online, it's called One Punch Man - I think it's easier for people to watch it this way."

"I see......."

The little president with dog eyes nodded gently, tapping the virtual keyboard with his slender fingers——

When the page was loaded, the first thing that caught the girl's eyes was the familiar little bald head.

(One Punch Man: Serialized.)

(Author: all.)

(Current popularity value: 11451.)

15. I have become stronger and bald

Gently sliding the page on his phone, Takegami Kasumi also began to silently observe the website where Mochizuki published comics.

This website called Xindushe has already published thousands of works for free. Because it is a web page, the entire interface will be larger and the words can be easily seen clearly. Just looking at the effect, this is different from what is seen in magazines. The effect of published comics is no different.

.....The Internet has really changed life, the girl with dog eyes couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Looking through the popularity list carefully, Mochizuki-san’s new manga is about to be released.

"So popular."

Looking at the "One Punch Man" comic page and data content that popped up on the search software, Takegami Kasumi's expression also showed considerable clarity at this moment:

"I didn't expect Mochizuki-san's manga to have over [-] views. It's really a good result."

"...Well, it's been almost a month since I posted it, so it's normal for the number of clicks to be slightly higher."

"Huh? Is it the monthly update?"

"Do not."

The boy explained while holding hamburger meat:

"I am a comic author based on my interest, so the comics will be updated from time to time."

“What a liberal idea.”

"No, he's just plain lazy."

Kurihara Saki, who knew Mochizuki's urinary properties best, easily dismantled the boy:
