Now reading: Chapter 37: Order of Rank from Parallel world Manga Artist, a Fantasy novel by AshNoir.

Manga readers in the Japan weren’t demanding people; they didn’t expect a new series to open with so god-tier, unforgettable plot twist in its very first Chapter.

In fact, most massively successful manga began with fairly ordinary openings.

So even though the pacing of Tonight’s first Chapter was a little slow, the new readers who followed over from Five Centiters per Second didn’t mind.

After all, Five Centiters per Second’s pacing was even slower.

By evening, Rei’s manga-artist account was flooded with comnts, both from new fans and readers who had followed him from Sakura-iro Weekly.

@BlueNightForum: "So this manga is going to be a flashback-style narrative?"

@MangaAnalyst: "From what we know, yes. Māori Hino’s amnesia will gradually stabilize, but the mories she’s already lost won’t co back. She can only rely on the diary entries she wrote before... And clearly, she’s already forgotten Tōru Kamiya."

@SnowyDays: "Why did Izumi do that? Is she a villain?"

@PlotDetective: "She doesn’t seem evil. Maybe she has circumstances we don’t know yet."

@HeartbrokenTheorist: "Maybe Tōru was actually a jerk? Māori got hurt by him, and Izumi didn’t want her to rember sothing painful, so she hid the handwritten diary?"

@KamiyaStan: "That’s possible, except Shirogane draws Tōru way too handso. If he turns out to be trash, I’ll be emotionally devastated."

@SighingAtSunset: "Honestly, after finishing Chapter 1, I exhaled in relief. At least it’s not heavy angst from the start. I already know the leads won’t end up together, so no matter what, I won’t be sad this ti."

@ColdLogic: "Exactly. If you know from the beginning they won’t be together, you won’t over-invest emotionally. No matter how it goes, I’m immune."

@ElderFan: "Hehehe... thinking that knowing the ending protects you from the pain... how adorable. You sweet sumr children."

@SugarTeaLover: "Anyway, Chapter 1 was great. I’ll stick with it! I wonder if Shirogane reads the forums? Please make the middle parts sweet!"

Late at night, Rei sat in his room, scrolling through manga forums on his newly purchased computer.

He wasn’t famous yet, not by Japan standards. But the number of readers who had followed him from Sakura-iro Weekly to Atsukage Weekly wasn’t small.

"They seem pretty optimistic," Rei murmured, amused.

In truth, Rei had already dropped a lot of information in Chapter 1.

In his previous life, the original novel Tonight only hinted vaguely that the male lead’s mother died from a genetic condition.

But Rei had boldly revealed that detail in Chapter 1.

Still, most readers in this world weren’t sharp enough to catch the implications.

Different world. Different thinking.

He had hinted everything clearly. If the readers didn’t figure it out themselves, well, that wasn’t his problem.

He turned off the computer and walked to the living room area of his room, where the half-finished manuscript pages lay spread across the table.

For serialized works, weekly storyboards and NA drafts needed to be handed to the editor for review. Editors would give advice based on market trends, and more importantly, prevent artists from accidentally drawing sothing risky or career-ending.

So every week, Rei had to produce storyboards, even though he technically didn’t need them, for Misaki to check. That was why he had gone to Miyu’s ho earlier today.

It wasn’t just the fandom that was optimistic, Misaki was, too.

Rei recalled what Misaki had said after reading the storyboard for Chapter 7 earlier.

"Rei, this manga of yours has the potential to beco the pure-love ceiling of Atsukage Weekly."

Chapter 7 contained the deeply emotional scene of the leads watching fireworks together, one of the highlights of the original.

But a "pure love ceiling"?

Rei chuckled softly, his expression complicated.

The first seven Chapters really were like that.

Starting from Chapter 8, things would change.

The next morning, Misaki drove to the Hoshimori Group Editorial Headquarters.

Even though it was Saturday, many departnts had rotating schedules and compensatory work days.

For example, the Statistics Division of the editorial departnt.

The Hoshimori Group’s entire manga editorial office occupied an entire floor of the building. Although it managed a complicated variety of magazines and publications, in reality, many editors were tasked with juggling responsibilities across two or three journals at once.

With Lant concluding, Misaki’s focus had shifted heavily toward the editorial work of Atsukage Weekly.

After arriving at the company, she headed straight for the Statistics Division’s office.

Other Atsukage Weekly editors were patient enough to stay ho and wait for the statistics team to email the results.

But today, Misaki had absolutely no patience.

This was her first ti participating as an editor for Atsukage Weekly, and the first ti seeing the ranking of a series she was personally responsible for.

At least for the first ti, she wanted to be here in person.

"You know... you could’ve just waited at ho for this," a statistics staffer she knew said with a smile, handing her a freshly printed sheet.

"We’d send the results to you. You didn’t have to co all the way here on a weekend."

"It won’t be like this next week," Misaki said softly.

"But this is a morable first. I want to see it with my own eyes."

She took a deep breath, accepted the warm paper, and sat down on a nearby chair.

Her heartbeat quickened.

Even though she felt it was unlikely, she couldn’t help but worry.

’What if Rei’s manga ranked dead last in its first Chapter?’

The Hoshimori Group’s rules were uniform across all magazines:

A manga that repeatedly ranked last in the reader survey would imdiately enter the cancellation process.

There had been works canceled within two or three months due to low popularity.
