For these few reasons, Tsushima Kagami wasn't quite as morally opposed to it anymore.
Although he still couldn't get turned on by the flat figures inside (though there was no shortage of baby-faced, busty Towa Musu), that didn't stop him from approving of the pure-love works in this series that featured excellent plots and explorations of lifespan theory.
Besides, Editor Saito looked quite interested as well.
Who knows, he might end up changing history—turning the Towa Musu series into the independent flagship magazine, while making COMICLO the supplentary spin-off?
Talk about a complete role reversal!
"Towa Musu..."
Editor Saito muttered the words repeatedly, chewing them over, before finally slapping both hands down on the sales counter made of pushed-together tables. The sudden slam startled Sayuri and the others nearby.
"That na is absolutely fantastic!"
"Xuanyayi-sensei, have you already decided on what to draw?"
Although many Towa Musu works had been published, Tsushima Kagami couldn't decide on which one to pick just yet. He still needed to go back and carefully consider his options.
So, Tsushima Kagami replied,
"I haven't completely figured it out yet. Is Akansha in a hurry?"
"No, no, not at all."
"After all, it's a new magazine imprint. I also have to go back and discuss it with the other editors and the editor-in-chief."
"Once it's decided, it'll be good to solicit manuscripts from other creators in advance, to see who might be interested in this the."
"Only after we've gathered enough submissions will we set a date to test the waters."
"So there's no major rush."
Hearing this, Tsushima Kagami smiled.
"Then I'll take my ti and think it over. Just let know once Akansha makes a decision."
With that, Tsushima Kagami wrote his phone number on a piece of paper nearby and handed it to Editor Saito.
Taking the number, Editor Saito looked at Tsushima Kagami and the girls standing behind him, smiling as he spoke.
"Then I won't take up any more of Xuanyayi-sensei's ti. I'll pay you a formal visit next ti."
Saying so, he bowed to Tsushima Kagami. After Tsushima Kagami slightly bowed in return, Editor Saito picked up his tote bags of doujinshi from both sides and left, looking completely satisfied.
Only then did Tsushima Kagami turn to look at the others.
Hiroi Kikuri and her two companions stood to the side, whispering among themselves.
anwhile, Yukinoshita Shizuku and Shimizu Nayotake were tidying up the booth while keeping an eye on the situation.
Sayuri and her two friends stood nearby, asking excitedly,
"Are you going to draw a new genre this ti, Kagami-kun?"
"Honestly, don't secretly start a new genre when Sonoko and I aren't around! Now the two of us can't participate," Kosaka Akane said from the side, sounding both thrilled and slightly disappointed.
"There will be plenty of opportunities to draw together in the future. It's not like we're disbanding after this event." Tsushima Kagami looked at Kosaka Akane with a smile and continued, "Everyone, hurry up and finish packing."
"Then, after Akane-senpai has her family's helpers take the money away, we'll all go eat yakiniku together!"
Chuo Ward, Ginza.
After Kosaka Akane's family driver brought people to haul away the cash boxes, he conveniently gave the group a ride, dropping them off at a charcoal yakiniku restaurant here.
"Cheers!"
Inside a moderately sized private booth, Tsushima Kagami and the others clinked their glasses of juice and drinks together.
"Eat as much as you want, everyone. We can pack up whatever we can't finish and take it back."
"It's my treat today, so please, don't hold back!"
Tsushima Kagami waved his hand grandly, finally having the chance to splash so cash for once.
"T-T-This... Senpai, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"
Sitting with Ijichi Seika and PA-san, Hiroi Kikuri had originally thought Tsushima Kagami was just joking when he promised to treat them to 5A Kuroge Wagyu. She would have been perfectly satisfied with a regular all-you-can-eat yakiniku buffet.
She never expected him to actually bring this many people straight to Ginza.
Looking at the mouthwatering pictures of beef on the nu, Hiroi Kikuri swallowed hard. But then she glanced at the exorbitant prices and felt too intimidated to order.
This was her very first ti eating in a place like Ginza. She had long heard about the high cost of living here, but she never imagined it would be this high!
At this mont, Kosaka Akane also looked at Hiroi Kikuri with a smile.
"Junior Hiroi, junior PA-san, and junior Ijichi, please don't hold back. If you juniors hadn't co to help, we would have been worked to death today."
After saying that, Kosaka Akane looked over at Tsushima Kagami.
"Kagami-kun is actually a hidden millionaire."
"Besides, didn't he make 6 million yen just today? You won't eat him into bankruptcy."
Tsushima Kagami also smiled and nodded.
Although that 6 million yen still had to cover printing and transportation costs, there was still a substantial amount left after deductions.
Treating everyone to high-end cuisine in Ginza once or twice was definitely not a problem.
"Order whatever you want. Ah, no."
"Actually, let's just get one of everything. We'll taste them all, find out what's good, and then order more of the delicious ones."
"Oh my, no, there's no need! It'll be such a waste if we can't finish it all," Hiroi Kikuri hurriedly waved her hands.
"If we can't finish it, you can take it back for a midnight snack," Tsushima Kagami said with a smile, looking at Hiroi Kikuri, before turning to Ijichi Seika.
"Oh right, take so back for Little Nijika too, otherwise be careful she doesn't throw a tantrum at you again."
Ijichi Seika smiled and nodded.
Even though they weren't extrely familiar with each other, they had already t several tis. Cooperating to help sell doujinshi this ti had clearly brought everyone closer together.
As everyone chatted, the beef platters were finally brought out one by one. Everyone got to work, filling the two grills with high-grade beef from various cuts.
Watching the beef sizzling and oozing juices on the grill, Hiroi Kikuri hurried to pick up a perfectly cooked slice of thick-cut beef tongue and popped it into her mouth.
Blowing air out of her mouth—clearly having burned her tongue—she mumbled, "S-Sorry... I'm digging in!"
Seeing Hiroi Kikuri's reaction, the others also stopped holding back, picking up their freshly cooked ats and digging in.
At that mont, Tsushima Kagami noticed a plate of thinly sliced at nearby labeled 'Beef Cheek' and was just about to pick up a piece to grill when Yukinoshita Shizuku stopped him.
"What is it?"
"This isn't ant to be grilled."
Saying that, Yukinoshita Shizuku pulled the plate over. She drizzled the accompanying egg white, yuzu juice, and a layer of cooking oil from a small side bowl over the at. Only then did she pick up a slice of the beef cheek, using a small tray to catch any drips, and offered it right to Tsushima Kagami's lips.
Only then did Tsushima Kagami realize that this was actually sashimi!
He never expected that he still wouldn't be able to escape sashimi, even in a yakiniku restaurant.
Tsushima Kagami never ate these kinds of things. However, seeing that Yukinoshita Shizuku had already brought it to his lips, and noticing the other girls looking his way...
Forget it. The atmosphere is already here, so he might as well take a bite.
Tsushima Kagami tilted his head, bit down on the lower end, and quickly slurped it into his mouth like a noodle.
Yukinoshita Shizuku frowned, distastefully wiping away the sauce that had splattered onto her clothes, before wiping the corners of Tsushima Kagami's mouth.
"That was incredibly ungraceful."
"How is it?"
Tsushima Kagami chewed slightly with a pained expression, but then his brow gradually relaxed.
It wasn't as fishy or unpalatable as he had imagined, but it couldn't be called delicious either.
Still, for soone who didn't usually like this sort of food, finding it at least edible on the first try was pretty good.
"It's alright."
"Do you want more?"
"No more, I'm good."
