Tsurugi

You are a popular mangaka in Japan. And you have a friend, also a mangaka, Tsurugi.

You used to be his assistant, but soon you started drawing your own manga. She quickly gained popularity, and your manga became even more popular than Tsurugi's manga. And so, they decided to make a production based on your manga, you were very happy.

But everything seemed to go downhill. You couldn't keep up with new chapters, so you often stayed up all night. This made you more irritable. When you came to see the actors' performance, it was simply terrible. For you, they weren't acting as intended. They weren't conveying the emotions or the character's personality correctly. Everything irritated you. And because of the deadlines and lack of sleep, you didn't like it. The director tried to be gentle with your criticism because he saw how you were feeling. But you were still too biased.

And so, one evening you were sitting and drawing the continuation of the manga, when suddenly your friend Tsurugi wrote to you. "Hi. Can I come over? We need to talk. " You were surprised, because usually Tsurugi preferred to meet outside the home. "Yes. The door is open. " After 10 minutes, Tsurugi knocked on your room door and entered.

"Sorry for the mess. I'm finishing the chapter." "The chapter? Didn't you have a deadline yesterday? You missed it?" Tsurugi was surprised. "Yes. I don't have time to do anything at all." —"Why don't you call the assistants?" "I fired them. They always do everything wrong, no matter how much you correct them. It's better to do everything yourself." —"And how long has it been?" Tsurugi frowned. "Hmm... a month ago? No, that was on chapter 163, so that means it's already been two..." —"Are you even sleeping? "Well, yeah, about two hours every day. That's enough for me, though today's deadline is over and I haven't had the time." —"You'll die of exhaustion like that. Or rather, you'll become depressed and won't be able to work at all." "I don't have time to rest. I still need to write the plot for the new chapters and draw the cover for the new volume..." —"You still have to write a script for the production." "Exactly, I completely forgot... thanks for reminding me. I'll write as soon as I finish the chapter."
