NOVEL NEXT chapter 1
1. What? Why is the ceiling so strange…?
1. What? Why is the strange ceiling…?
“…Was it?”
“…”
“Haiseki-kun~ Wake up, eat and go to kindergarten!”
I woke up to someone’s help. And the unfamiliar ceiling in front of my eyes.
“…?”
It wasn’t my house.
“Ah…”
Come to think of it…
I am dead. I’m sure. No, exactly, I was ‘sure’.
Until I woke up without any pain like this.
I thought he must have died after being hit by a speeding car.
“Are you alive…?”
What happened?
In the confusion, I managed to clear my mind and calmly turned my head to look around.
It was strange.
It was really strange.
The fact that this room I am in right now is not the room I knew would not be a big problem compared to all these things I am witnessing right now.
“Huh…”
Dark and beautiful disparate colors.
A thin but vaguely black line that can be seen on an object.
And…And…
No matter how much I stare at it, it is a sight that I have never experienced before, so heterogeneous that I can no longer describe it with my insufficient expressive power.
Even if some great man comes, he won’t be able to accurately describe the scene I’m watching.
No,
…Maybe it’s possible.
I decided to try to define this phenomenon.
That’s just one word.
“Could it be… Annie?”
Animation.
Aside from that simple word, the sight that matched so perfectly that I wondered if there were any words that could express it more accurately filled this world, not only in my room but also outside the window.
“What!”
“Haiseki~! Come out quickly!”
Let’s roll our heads in the confusion of the unprecedented sight unfolding in an unknown place and organize it even a little, then someone’s.
No, as the memories of my previous life came to my mind, the memories of me reincarnated in this world, which had been pushed to the back of my memory and forgotten for a while, started flooding back.
“Ugh!”
“Haiseki, what’s wrong..? Mama going up?”
“No! I’m leaving soon!”
A thin, soft voice coming from the throat. And the Japanese that comes out like it’s natural.
…Yes, I think I understand now.
I, a 20-year-old Korean man who died in my previous life, was reborn as a Japanese in this cartoon-like world, and now, the memories of my previous life have returned to me.
According to my memory, my name is Shujinkoo Haiseki, 5 years old. I am 7 years old in Korean age, and I am 13 years younger.
I went down to eat from the 2nd floor where I was to the 1st floor in a state of confusion even though my memory came back to my mother’s care in this life.
As I recall, I naturally approached the kitchen where I usually ate, and there was my mother who had prepared breakfast and waited for me.
“Please have a seat, Haiseki-kun.”
My mother’s face looking at me and smiling.
Wait. Face?
“Huh?”
This is strange..?
Is it because the memories of the previous life, which have an overwhelming capacity due to the long life, have returned?
“Ohh..!”
Despite the coexistence of my two memories from my previous life and my present life, the things I took for granted in this life began to feel new and strange, just like when I first woke up!
When I look at my mother’s face, I see a sharp chin and big eyes!
In addition, it looks three-dimensional from the side, but from the front, it looks like a line, even though the bangs are covering the nose, the eyebrows are clearly visible as if they are on top of the hair, and even the clean white skin without any blemishes!
To say even the people are like anime, what a wonderful world this is!
As I admired her eyes, my mother smiled and said to me,
“Are you so excited about going to the new kindergarten?”
“Oh.”
Memories suddenly merged and there was a part that I missed for a while. Today is the first day they went to a different kindergarten due to moving.
…Maybe I wasn’t interested in this life.
“Ah…?”
“Ah! Yes! Hee hee…”
Seeing my answer while quickly hiding my embarrassment, my mother made an expression as if saying, ‘See how shy he is too, he’s a kid’.
What expression? I know it when I see it.
Anyway, fortunately, I quickly finished eating a meal that tasted not too different from what I ate in my previous life.
I looked in the mirror while washing myself in preparation for going out.
A boy with brown hair and eyes of the same color.
“Yeah… This was me.”
I too, since I was born in this world, of course, had the same face as the character in the anime.
“It’s so amazing”
From the solution of trivial questions such as touching my face and if I touch my pointy chin, will it sting (it didn’t sting at all), will I become handsome later? Are you having useless worries like this?
I heard my mother’s urging again, and I quickly got ready and left the house.
Today is the first day of kindergarten, so instead of taking a kindergarten bus, I rode a car with my mother.
About twenty minutes had passed. I arrived at the new kindergarten I had to go to.
From the point of view of my previous life, it would have been just a kindergarten where babies were gathered, but is it because I am young in this life?
Or was it because I was curious about how the children in the other world were doing?
Yes, ‘there was.’
“Uh… Sniff! What’s your name…?”
“Do you know Power Rangers?”
“Oh, where are you from?”
“People who want to play with our motorcycles, stick here!”
“Where do you live?”
“Here’s a sticker…You sniff it!”
“Hey! You don’t give it to me, but why give it to him! Heung!”
“Huh!”
Confused, confused…
Until I saw these guys and recognized the reality.
Adding red, blue, purple… Colorful hair to the barrage of questions made it even more confusing.
Even if you tell me, even if you tell me, I quietly run away to the bathroom in response to the barrage of questions, then come back out after a while and sit quietly in the corner.
Fortunately, the children were now busy playing among themselves, so I was able to avoid any further attention.
“Ha…”
Should I just spend my kindergarten life like this…
In less than a day, I was just worried.
***
How many days have passed as ordinary and boring times continued to flow in their own way?
It wasn’t until that day that I knew.
The world like this anime was right in the anime.
And that fact, right now, that girl over there has proven it.
“Hello-I am-Yoji-iina-zuke-“
“Applause guys!”
“”Wow!!!””
No way!
“No way no way no way…”
After muttering over and over again, I was finally able to find it.
A boy with black hair and shaggy hair unique to Japan who was so ordinary and ordinary that he didn’t even have time to care.
And seeing the name on his name tag, I felt my body getting stiffer.
Finally turning her head back to her girl and looking at her, I was sure. And I was astonished.
He, they….
Aren’t I the heroine of the main character and his childhood fiancé in ‘Why are you so popular?’
***
It started a year ago.
A romance animation about touching love, which was completed with astronomical amounts of money by the famous animation production company j.
It started when the harem waters of the other world produced by the mass production anime were aired in the same time zone and during the same period.
Company j poured astronomical money into making it with great care, and according to critics, the viewership ratings of the animation that was evaluated as a work that would stand proudly in the ranks of masterpieces of the century.
A 100% of the production cost was spent, and the ratings of other world harem dramas with trite content, not to mention the drawing, were no different from typical mass-produced ones, and the ratings had exceeded.
At this, Company J was in great shock.
According to their craftsmanship, this was unacceptable.
In the end, the president of company j, who had been stretched out as much as he could, made an announcement at an official event.
“Our anime production company has always prided itself on making the best anime ever!
But! These days, it’s the same, roughly made, and the content and drawing are not so good that you can’t see it without tears! That! Annies are playing the game!
On this! Company J is a mass-market product among mass-market products that anyone can recognize as a mass-market product! That! Produce animations and make them a mockery of the people who come out of these works. Never again! We want to create a beautiful climate where such commercials cannot compete! First of all, the content!…”
The president of Company J, who took an unconventional step by publicly declaring that he would make a mass-produced anime at an official event, as well as exposing the contents.
The president’s actions have become a hot topic through video media, not only in Japan, but also abroad, and even in Korea, through You Tube.
It even appeared on Korean news several times, so what more do I need to say?
At the time when this matter was becoming a hot topic, I, like other people, came across the press conference video through Youtube’s algorithm.
I wondered if I was crazy about the president’s unconventional move to make a mass-produced anime, but I felt quite a lot of interest, and eventually decided to watch it later.
Looking at the comment section of the You Tube video to see if this was the case with other people as well.
– Wow, look at your spirit
-Ah hahahaha
-Are you saying that by making mass media, you are making fun of other mass media? What kind of bullsh*t is that possible?
–Lㅇㅋ It’s impossible unless you make it cringe and leave people traumatized.
—Still, don’t you feel confident when you see him like that?
—-Looks like it’s just for publicity. Since the centipede anime went bankrupt, aren’t you trying to make money in a place like this? hahahaha
—–That president is famous for his craftsmanship.
– Ah ha ha ha ha ha I can’t stand this
–What do you keep holding back, you bastard?
—Yes Jinjichung refused
– Is the boss Goebbels? If you delete the translation, I’ll believe it even if it’s an all-out war speech.
– The boss is cool ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
-As expected, baldness is characteristic of real men.
–You are really…
-It must be fun, it’s novel hahahahaha
-Sa1 and TV Jota
-I wonder what it will be like
–All contents are listed. Full video
And so on.
Three months of waiting have passed, with everyone looking forward to the new work by company j.
Company J’s long-awaited new work, ‘Why am I popular? -School edition-‘ followed by ‘Why am I popular? Came into being
This work, which has already attracted tremendous attention not only in Japan but also around the world thanks to the president’s unintentional wide-area aggro, is the j company really like the j company?
It has gained immense popularity by showing clean and beautiful color drawings without a single roof and classic and classic hard-to-express harem school books and harem other world books that are difficult to express other than just saying that it is wonderful.
The broadcasting of the mass production anime, which lasted for over a year, ended very successfully after sending high school students to another world and proceeding with the story of the classic mass production itself in that world.
And the published track record.
In that performance table, records were written that were unprecedented in the history of anime.
Its sales were also unmatched, thanks to its widespread worldwide interest.
People admired it. It is said that the president was the god of marketing.
In fact, I wonder if it was aimed at pulling aggro in a wide range.
But this is also for a while. This controversy soon subsided.
Unintentionally, with the mass production animation that I hated, it was the biggest success ever in company j’s history.
The news had spread that the president of Company J, who was full of ambition and had been denied his entire life, was suffering from depression.
There were a lot of people who were silent with sadness.
In fact, the production team thought that the box office success of this anime was absolutely impossible.
They, united in madness, were focusing on making viewers tremble when it comes to mass production anime, rather than the box office success in producing anime.
For this reason, he was proud of having succeeded in producing an animation that was so full of clichés from all kinds of popular anime that ordinary viewers would not be able to see even a few episodes.
Their predictions were successful to some extent.
Most of the viewers who watched this anime gave up countless times after not being able to endure it during the serialization.
Also, some of them posted a post on the community saying that they couldn’t see it anymore even if something similar came out, as the production team wished.
But despite this, as I said earlier, the anime ended up being a huge success.
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons.
First of all, even if there are many people who give up because the president has attracted huge aggro around the world even before the airing.
Still, there must have been that the number of absolute viewers was the highest ever.
Secondly, among the general viewers who came in for the first reason, there must have been people who saw the anime for the first time and just enjoyed the excellent drawing and fresh story.
And thirdly, the president’s remarks about ignoring the mass production anime did not offend the existing mass market anime consumers, but rather made them look forward to it, and they must have become enthusiastic consumers.
Fourth and last, there must have been people who wanted to stop watching this anime, which openly tests how strong viewers’ anti-magic ability is, but rather, there were people who came across it and started watching it.
And I belonged right here.
Exactly in the fourth case.
To talk about my case, the first episode I saw was a series of pain.
The obvious clichés and the cheesy movements and expressions of the characters.
These things drained my exorcism and made it to the point of penetrating to the floor, constantly tormenting me the whole time I watched it.
But I did not give up and continued to challenge myself.
When I thought the production team made it this way, I rather came up with misunderstandings.
Because of that, I fought day by day, burning myself white.
In the end, by succeeding in seeing the finale, the battle against me was won.
And that day, I was hit by a car and died. Reborn in this world.
