Anime Crossover: Becoming Mangaka in Anime World

Eriri remained silent for a moment, before letting out a sigh and saying in a tone of self-pity:

"I know, I know!"

"When I got to the fifth page, I realized something was wrong."

"But what could I do? I'd already drawn this much scene, and quitting now would be so unsatisfying!"

Seeing Eriri's face full of frustration, Akifumi didn't let her off easily.

"Then why did you hesitate when you got to the story part?"

"If you're dissatisfied, just keep drawing until the end! Show those people who doubt you that they're the ones who are wrong!"

"That would solve it, wouldn't it?"

Eriri bit her lower lip and stared at him with wide blue eyes full of grievance.

'Idiot!'

If I could be that cool, I wouldn't have ended up in this mess to begin with, right!?

At the same time, Akifumi couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling the same frustration as the girl.

'Why is she making things harder for herself?'

If you knew you weren't capable of something, why try it in the first place!?

Just continue drawing your usual hentai illustration! and your fans are looking forward to it.

Why mess around with something else?

If you have weird ideas, save them for when you have more time.

"You're so egoistic!"

Never mind.

Though there were many things he wanted to criticize, at least this time her procrastination didn't kick in.

The painful memories of frantically rushing to finish the manuscript in the final month made his stomach churn just thinking about it.

"Heh, who's so egoistic just now?"

The girl, who had just been looking all pitiful, now glared at him like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She pushed against his forehead with a disgusted look, trying to act tough, but her strength was so weak it posed no threat.

"Who else but you?" Akifumi rolled his eyes, teasing her.

"Are you sure you want me to list all the mistakes you've made recently because of your ego?"

"Ugh!"

Eriri let out a pitiful sound, and although she felt a strong sense of fear, she still braced herself and said, "Say it!"

"Fine, when you're all decayed in a few hundred years, your mouth will still be as stubborn."

Eriri snapped back, "Nonsense, it's soft!"

"Hmm?"

"What are you looking at, you've touch it before!"

Eriri glared at him, and within a few seconds, her face was a fiery red.?

In such a situation, she still managed to stir up a strange sense of competition.

Akifumi had a subtle look in his eyes, then smiled wickedly.

"Now that you mention it, we never got to fully experience last time, and you ran off."

When Eriri saw him getting closer, her heart skipped a beat, and an ominous feeling surged in her.

She stuttered, "W-What are you doing!?"

Akifumi paused for a moment, then honestly nodded, "What do you think?"

What?

What does that mean?

Eriri blinked in confusion, quickly reacting as she realized what he meant.

Her already blushing cheeks turned even redder, embarrassed and furious, but also slightly scared.

Though she didn't dislike him, the situation wasn't anything like she imagined!

At least...

"At least, we should move to another place!"

But Akifumi didn't give her a chance to speak, sealing her lips with his.

"Mmgh!"

Eriri let out a small cry.

This time, there was no escape, and she froze for a moment, her mind going blank...

10 minutes later.

Looking at Eriri, who was lying on the couch with a dazed expression, like someone who just pleasure themself, Akifumi felt his little brother got hard.

But, with his strong willpower, he managed to suppress it.

Though he knew she wouldn't resist anything at this point, he wanted to make her first time a good experience.

This casual approach wasn't his style.

"Fine, I take it back. Eriri's lips are definitely soft!"

Eriri, who hadn't fully recovered, could only weakly glare at him with all her might.

After a while, Eriri, regaining some energy, muttered, "You're just bullying me!"

Akifumi shrugged innocently, "Aren't you the one who asked me, 'What are you going to do?'"

She shot him a huge eye roll.

Do you really have no idea what that means?

Akifumi didn't mind her glare.

It's not like he would lose anything, and if she was happy, that's what mattered.

"Let's talk about the Summer CM."

Akifumi said, "The stuff you showed me earlier? Just keep it for yourself."

"You mean start over?" Eriri frowned.

"Well, what else is there?"

Akifumi shrugged. "Don't you think it's harder to fix something like this than to just start over from scratch?"

"Or do you already know how the plot should go?"

Eriri was at a loss for words, but then she stubbornly said, "But there's only a month and a half left until the Summer CM!"

The Summer CM takes place from the second Friday of August to Sunday.

It was now the middle of June, so there was actually a little more than a month and a half.

"You've done the last-minute rush before."

Eriri was speechless.

After thinking for a moment, she hesitated and said, "Then let's start over, I guess."

"But doesn't that mean we need to think about what to draw?"

"It's not like we're drawing a manga. You don't need to overthink it."

Eriri countered, "Even if it's just a doujin, story is also a important!"

"So after all these years, do you think you've improved and can write a new story?"

"..."

Eriri angrily muttered, "Can't you say something nice for me just once?"

"Lies don't hurt, but the truth is a sharp knife."

Akifumi said bluntly, "The truth is, after all these years, you still haven't made any progress in your storytelling."

"Instead of relying on 'experience' that you don't even have, why not try depending on me for a change?"

"Depend on you?"

Eriri looked at him with suspicion, and Akifumi casually replied,

"Well, I do know a few people in the manga industry."

"You know the person who drew Madoka Magica, right?"

"Of course!"

After the Madoka Magica volume came out, Eriri had bought a copy immediately and became a huge fan of "The Warrior of Love and Hope."

Although it was violent, the fresh path it depicted shocked her!

Thinking of something, Eriri looked at him suspiciously, "You don't mean you actually know the author, do you?"

"I do, actually."

"Huh?" Eriri laughed.

"I'll introduce you to him next time."

"Really?"

Eriri instantly believed him.

Akifumi wasn't the type to joke about such things.

"When?"

Seeing how excited Eriri was, Akifumi smiled, "When you finish your Summer CM work, I'll tell you."

"It's a deal!"

Eriri exclaimed, then jumped up from the couch.

"What are you doing?"

"Going back to draw!"

"Wait."

"Mm!?" Eriri didn't understand, and once again, the room was filled with her pitiful cry.
