Drawing Manga in a Romance Fantasy

Chapter 0

Prologue

On a late night, the dim moonlight casts a soft glow on the wall.

A man, dressed in dark clothing, blends into the shadows, barely noticeable except for the faint light.

With a swift, light jump, he effortlessly clears the wall, which is well over the height of an average adult man.

“How did it go with the item?”

He lands silently on the other side, where a girl has been waiting for him.

Her noble attire hints at her high status, but her trembling hands betray her anxiety as she urgently questions him.

“Here is Volume 3 of the ‘Iron-Blooded Alchemist,’ as you commanded.”

In a dry tone, the man responds as he reaches into his inner pocket and pulls out an ordinary-looking book.

However, upon seeing the book in his hand, the girl quivers with excitement, barely able to contain herself.

Snatching the book from the man with care, she begins to inspect the cover meticulously.

After thoroughly checking for any potential printing errors, scratches, or damages, she lets out a sigh of relief upon confirming everything is in order.

‘Who would think this lady, so enchanted by a book, is the princess known as the flower of the empire?’

The man, silently observing her, also sighs inwardly, reflecting on the situation.

“Yurushite kure souni mo nai~.”

Indeed, the melodies of classic songs never fade from memory.

As I hummed the tune, dividing the lines on a white manuscript paper and sketching, I felt an exhilarating rush of inspiration.

It truly is a pity that there are no smartphones or PCs available in this world to listen to music.

“The Alchemist of the Strong X really shows its true colors when listened to while watching,” I mused.

I must find a way to venture into the anime business soon.

When I spoke with the Mage Tower last time, they mentioned that if I could tool the video storage magic and utilize the illusion magic devices, it might not be impossible.

However, the research and service costs would be astronomical, so I realized I need to work even harder to earn money going forward.

“Should I also sell merchandise as limited editions from now on?”

It may shock the fans to hear such a thing, but what can I do? Creating anime requires funding.

I’m not earning money just to spend it on myself.

Isn’t this a type of investment aimed at reviving the cultural arts of this world?

Thus, limited editions are an unavoidable choice.

Only now do I understand why Iphone sold smartphones in such a manner.

I will now follow your lead.
