Tokyo, Thursday Afternoon

Sakuragaoka High School – Lunch Break

Nao leaned back in his chair, phone in hand, scrolling through the latest Trigun promotional art.

“Sōta, you coming to buy the new Muzishiro manga after school?”

Sōta looked up from his bento. “Obviously. I’ve been waiting a month for this.”

Itsuki glanced between them. “Wait, is it releasing today?”

Nao stared at him. “How do you not know this? It’s been all over social m...

A week had passed since New Year. It was now 2023.

Haruki had been busy even through the New Year period. His assistants had taken their break, so for a short while, he had nothing urgent to deal with. He spent that time playing a few games, getting some fresh air, going out for light jogs, trying to keep himself refreshed. The rest of the day, he stayed in his apartment, drawing manga or catching up on anime he might have missed.

After New Year passed and his assistants returned,...

Maya Studio – Meeting Hall

Inside the meeting hall, there were fewer people compared to a Japanese anime studio meeting. Present were the CEO, Executive Producer, Director, Production Manager, CG Supervisor, and Sales Executive, the core leadership of Maya Studio.

The sales executive spoke first, tablet in hand.

“Crying for Rain finished strong this year. Even with heavy hitters in the season, it ranked second overall internationally. We’ve accumulated a total of 350 m...

Late December

As December drew to a close, Evermark officially announced that Code Geass Season 2 was now under production. With the second season officially underway, Haruki, Kazuya, and Masafumi had reduced the time they spent working on Haruki’s original anime pipeline, which was nearly complete. Only minor tests remained for scaling long-term animation production.

With Code Geass in full production mode, Haruki had become even busier. Even during the festival season, his sch...

News

I drafted chapters for today and yesterday, but after reviewing them, I felt they weren’t moving the story forward in a meaningful way and were slowing the pacing. I decided to cut those sections and move directly into the next chapter so the story can progress properly.

Late November

Chain Veil posted an announcement on their official website: Muzishiro would be serializing a new manga with them starting in January.

This time, it wasn’t just fans paying attention.

Every major publishing house had been watching. After Echo Shroud announced Code Geass as a manga, the industry knew Echo Shroud wouldn’t have room for another Muzishiro work. Nearly every publisher had quietly reached out with offers, hoping to secure his next project.

A Few Days Later

Echo Shroud officially announced the serialization of Code Geass as a manga. The discussion that had started to slow down surged again, dominating conversations.

“I didn’t ask for a Code Geass manga, but I’m not complaining.”

“So being number one in anime wasn’t enough? Now Muzishiro wants manga too.”

“This feels cheap. Retelling the same story in a different format just to grab more top rankings.”

“Muzishiro ...

[Note:- I was thinking of releasing a double chapter at the same time, but I didn’t want to take another day’s break. So here’s one chapter now, and I’ll try to release the second chapter within the next 12 hours.]

The meeting hall had only a handful of people present, far fewer than the usual quarterly meeting where new serializations were decided. The long table felt almost too large for the number of editors seated around it.

Editor-in-Chief Amane opened the meeting. "M...

News

I can’t write four chapters at the same time, so I decided to do a double chapter release this week to cover last week’s chapter. Today’s double chapter is about 12 hours late.

Two days had passed.

Afternoon light filtered through the blinds in Haruki’s office. Haruki was busy with his usual drawings, papers spread across his desk, when a man entered the room and stopped a few steps inside.

The man was in his early thirties, maybe mid-thirties. He wore wire-frame glasses and a suit that looked professional.

“Haruki-san,” he said, his voice calm and direct. “There was a call from Chain Veil Publishing. An editor wants to meet you. He said he...

[Note:- Sorry for the delay. I still had some symptoms from the infection, but I’m back to writing now. I honestly missed it a lot. In the meantime, I’ve mapped out the entire Volume 3, so there shouldn’t be any writer’s block going forward. I’m releasing two chapters right now, and the next two chapters will be released about 12 hours from now.]

A few days had passed, and it had been over one month since the last Code Geass episode aired. The vacuum left by Code Geass, and th...

News

I have a viral infection, so I haven’t been able to focus on writing for the past two days. I also won’t be able to release new chapters for the next two days.

I’ll try to release five chapters at the same time on Monday. I think I’ll be alright by then.

Thank you for your patience.

Saturday, late afternoon

Haruki checked his phone. 5:28 PM. The car would arrive any minute.

He looked over his speech again. He had prepared something short and simple: thank everyone and sit down.

As his phone buzzed:

Haruka: Are you ready?
Haruki: I'm ready.
Haruka: Car should be there soon.

Haruki set his phone down. After a few minutes, his apartment doorbell buzzed. He grabbed his jac...

I Got Hacked

Sorry everyone, today has been a complete mess. My laptop and Gmail were hacked, and I only just managed to recover everything. Hopefully this does not happen again anytime soon.

I still have some light editing left for the chapter, and I will try to upload it within the next 12 hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

[Note:- I wanted to release the whole scene together, but the Echo Shroud celebration arc expanded from two chapters to three, and I'm still writing the third one.]

A day had passed since Fullmetal Episode 4 aired, and new fans were still trying to live with what they had seen.

At Evermark Studio, Haruki had been explaining Synesthetic Scoring to Masafumi for the past hour. The storyboards spread across the work table showed where all three techniques would intersect: Conscious Mo...

[Note: This chapter ended up around 1.5k words. Today was a roller coaster while editing. It started at 1k, then went up to 1.9k, then 2.2k, which felt too long, so I cut it back down to around 1.4–1.5k. I wasn’t aiming for a specific word count; it just settled naturally at this length.

Also, about the recent chapters overall, I’ve shifted my focus more toward scene-by-scene pacing instead of fast progression. It’s a slower style, but not overly slow, a...
