My System Always Wants to Force Me to Confess-Chapter 254: The Idol Manga Artist’s Debut

"I have no ideas."

"How can that be... Shirakawa, you clearly have insights... Besides, you’re a guy; you must know what kind of manga guys like to read, right."

"I’m not that into the anime scene either; I haven’t even watched all the series, let alone read manga," Shirakawa Sawahei said nonchalantly. "If you want a male opinion, I can help ask around."

"Sure, sure!"

Upon receiving the reply, Shirakawa Sawahei took out his phone and pulled two anime-loving jokers into a group chat, sending a line message.

[What type of romance manga do you guys like?]

The two jokers quickly replied.

[Of course, it’s harem.]

[Harem +1]

Imamura Takuya replied excitedly: [Harem is the ultimate romance for men... Since entering the anime world, I never think about deep issues when reading manga!]

[Exactly, everyone knows you can’t have a harem in reality, can’t we at least dream about it in manga! I’m all for harem in this case!] Aoki Yoosuke chimed in.

[What’s that saying? People seeking reality in a virtual world must have something wrong in their head... It’s the wise saying from Master Brock in Pokémon.]

[I read manga just for fun, and those who criticize harem should just stick to stocks in single-heroine stories if they don’t like it, instead of criticizing. I’d love to show them the wrath of a harem god!]

[Exactly! We’re all just here to enjoy manga, how come they act so superior!] The two anime lovers started to vent about the discrimination they’ve faced since joining the anime community. Shirakawa Sawahei watched, a bit dumbfounded, and replied: [I was asking what type of romance manga you like... like high school, workplace, daily life, post-marriage... not if you prefer harem.]

[Oh, got it... if that’s the case, I obviously like workplace romance best.]

[I prefer post-marriage romance.]

[?]

Shirakawa Sawahei sent a question mark and then asked: [Aren’t you guys high school students? Why don’t you like high school romance but instead prefer romance after school?]

[Well... maybe because it’s hard to find love in school...]

[Yeah, we’ve given up on that dream, after all, not everyone can be as strong a delinquent as Brother Shirakawa...]

[Suddenly, the vibe feels a bit sad... my eyes are getting moist...]

Shirakawa Sawahei quietly closed the group chat and said to the slacking girl, "Hmm... no particularly useful advice... their situation isn’t quite relevant to most people."

"What? How can that be..."

"But they said they’d prefer harem more."

"Aha~ Jin, you lost! I told you harem is better!"

"Dream on! I’m going to draw sweet 1v1 romance, harem is strictly banned!"

"Hmph! Stubborn fool, I think you’ve inserted yourself as the heroine! Thinking the harem is there to steal your husband!"

"I’m drawing manga, of course I’m going to identify as the heroine, or should I identify as the hero!"

"Don’t be silly, even in a harem, you think you’d be the main wife? What if you’re just a side character!?"

"???"

"Mr. Shirakawa, quickly hold Rion down, I need to show her what happens when she calls me a side character!"

"Mr. Shirakawa! I’m your boss! Don’t listen to this side character manga artist’s nonsense!"

"..."

"Keep fighting, I’ll take a break."

"Ah~ right, Shirakawa, I prepared lunch for you... though it’s already afternoon now."

"Oh, thanks."

Shirakawa Sawahei gave the slacking girl a surprised look, thinking, has this guy been behaving recently? Is it because the previous training has paid off?

Hinata Rion, witnessing this scene, couldn’t resist teasing, "Jin, you’re using my takeout to curry favor... what a schemer."

"Bah, a heathen still talking? Take my pure love death punch!"

The two girlfriends played around on the couch for a bit, messing up Ise Yu Yuzhijin’s hair. Just then, the doorbell rang, and they quickly got up from the couch, tidying their messy skirts—though the slacking girl was wearing denim shorts at home and didn’t need to fix her skirt, she still needed to straighten her clothes.

Seeing them act guilty and sneaky, Shirakawa Sawahei was shocked, thinking, if he hadn’t seen them squabbling just a moment ago, anyone else might think they were up to something indecent.

As the door opened, manga editor Morihara Tomona politely bowed at the entrance, apologetically saying, "Sorry for the intrusion..."

"Miss Morihara, please come in... ah, let me introduce, this is Hinata Rion, my childhood friend and big sister, she’s also involved in doujin work."

"Hello." Morihara Tomona extended her hand with a smile, "I hope I can have the chance to read Teacher Hinata’s work someday."

"Aw~ I’m not worthy of the ’Teacher’ title, no need to exaggerate~" Hinata Rion blushed, grinning ear to ear, "Miss Morihara, come in, today is an important day for you and Jin, let’s not chat at the door... come in!"

Shirakawa Sawahei put aside the takeout and stood up, preparing to greet the visiting guest out of politeness. As Morihara Tomona entered from outside, she spotted the unfamiliar Shirakawa Sawahei and hesitated for a moment.

"This is..."

She glanced at Hinata Rion’s attire and Shirakawa Sawahei’s age, seemingly understanding something, and smiled, "This must be Teacher Hei Bai’s boyfriend, right? Nice to meet you..."

Shirakawa Sawahei’s extended hand froze midair.

"..."

"No, no!" Ise Yu Yuzhijin hurriedly ran over to explain, "This is Shirakawa, he’s also my good friend."

"Oh, oh... sorry, Mr. Shirakawa."

"I apologize for my mistake!"

"It’s fine... you guys chat, I’ll step out for a bit..." Shirakawa Sawahei shook hands with her and then took his takeout, ready to retreat, but the slacking girl quickly stopped him, "No way!"

"Shirakawa is a very important person to me, without your witness, no way!"

"..." freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

"I’m not your guardian."

"Just witness a bit, and maybe give some opinions~" The slacking girl coaxed sweetly, "Watching a friend step onto the manga path with your own eyes, isn’t that heartwarming?"

In front of this person’s future editor, Shirakawa Sawahei couldn’t just throw the slacking girl onto the couch and tell her to stay out of the way. With her words, Minotaur Artist Hinata Rion and manga editor Morihara Tomona both focused their eyes on him.

What... what’s happening?

Shirakawa Sawahei felt a bit bewildered, am I now the slacking girl’s agent?

But... I’ve never heard of any manga artist having an agent... could it be some legendary idol manga artist?
