Start By Becoming A Mangaka
Chapter 5: Publishing Company

Yuuki had just been discharged from the hospital and was being accompanied outside by Ayako.

"*Sigh* I won't be able to see you every day now." Yuuki was quite sad that he couldn't see this beautiful Onee-san(older sister) every day.

"Yeah..." Ayako seemed sad as well.

"Hey, your promise to take me to see that jousting match is still available right?" Yuuki asked.

"That's right! Don't forget about it! Promise!" Ayako said with a lot more energy than before.

"Yeah, I'll definitely come." Both of them said their goodbyes. Yuuki then entered the car where his father and Raku were waiting.

"I didn't expect you to get so close to her." His father said.

"Hahaha, it's normal if someone spends that much time together." Yuuki didn't acknowledge it. Even though both of them had spent a week together, it was still too early for both him and Ayako to have a relationship.

"Well, I don't mind if you make her become yours." His dad was smiling.

"I'll tell you if I get her pregnant then." Yuuki turned his head to the window.

"What!!!" Both his dad and Raku was startled, they started asking him a lot of questions but Yuuki ignored them.

The trip was quite long and Yuuki could now see his house. He could see a huge traditional Japanese house in front of him. There were many people were lining the driveway waiting for him.

"Welcome, oyabun! Wakadanna!!" They were shouting at the same time.

"Huwaaaa, young master, you've finally been discharged!!" A man with a full body tattoo ran toward him.

"Ryu, I'm home." Yuuki was smiling. He could relax after he finished writing the 3 chapters of 'Fairy Tail'. He now needed to research a bit about the publishing companies in this world.

Yuuki told them that he needed some rest so he could back to his room. They didn't stop him and let him back to his room.

Inside his room, Yuuki found a computer and turned it on. He opened a browser and searched for information about the world of ACGN (anime, comics, games, and novels) on the internet. He couldn't access the internet when he was in the hospital, so he had to search it now.

Yuuki knew it was hard to find a good company. After all, the manga industry was still in its development stage. He needed to find a company that had a firm foundation. He was surprised when he didn't find any famous manga beside 'Dragon Ball', 'Golgo 13, and 'Astro Boy'. Those three mangas had already finished and there wasn't any interesting manga anymore.

There wasn't any 'Bleach', 'Naruto', 'One Piece', etc. Now, he understood the reason why the system gave him a quest to save the manga world. There was almost no interesting manga in this world, but it would start to change after his appearance.

He kept searching until he found a good company. There were two companies that caught his attention.

"Weekly Shonen Gongon and Weekly Shonen Jump." Both companies were the only manga publishing company, but in the past, there were many good mangas being published from those two companies. Yuuki remembered that Shonen Gongon was from anime 'Mangaka-san to Assistant-san' anime and Shonen Jump was from 'Bakuman' anime. He was wondering if he could see any famous character from those two anime, but he shook his head.

'I didn't have time to think about that!'

Yuuki was in a dilemma in choosing which company he should publish his manga in.

"Hmm, I'll look at the contract first before I decide which company." Yuuki needed to see which companies would give him the best contract for his manga. He decided to sleep and visit those companies tomorrow.

There was a meeting in the Weekly Shonen Gongon, all the editors in the companies had a very nervous expression on their faces.

In the middle of those editors, there was a little girl with a white T-Shirt and short green hair. Her name was Minano Matome. She was the editor-in-chief of Weekly Shonen Gongon. Even though she looked like a little girl, her age was in the late 20's. "We need to get an interesting manga." Minano's words were simple, but everyone who heard it couldn't say anything.

"Our company situation isn't good," Minano said softly. "Many newcomers will go to Shonen Jump to publish their works, for example, Ashirogi Muto and Eiji Niizuma."

No one said anything when their editor-in-chief told them the fact that Shonen Jump would beat their company.

"*Sigh* Even though our company has 'Adventure World' from Konno Ichika-sensei, it isn't enough," Minano said seriously.

"Anyway, we need to search for a newcomer with a great talent!" Minano said. "Now, I'll end the meeting!"

All the people inside the meeting room started to stan and exit. They needed to tell their mangaka's to make their manga better. They went to their respective mangaka leaving only a girl inside the room.

The girl sighed tiredly when she heard the chief editor's words. Her name was Mihari Otosuna. She was a new editor in Weekly Shonen Gongon. She still didn't have any mangaka under her. She was in a hurry to search for a mangaka so she could show a result in this company.

"No, I can't give up! I'll need to search more!!" Mihari changed her attitude and became spirited. She couldn't be depressed and needed to search for an interesting mangaka for her company.

Mihari stood up and waited in the reception area, hoping someone would enter the company to submit their work.

'You need to work hard, Mihari!!' Mihari was pumping herself up and waited for someone to enter.
