1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx41

There are various things that are bad, but the typographical errors in the phototypesetting are really the worst…!

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

>>1

Masopp!

9: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>8

I got a boyfriend.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

Well, there are people who don’t really have the motivation and think of themselves as just carriers of the manuscript.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>2

This protagonist is a passionate editor who is striving for the sake of manga artists to release popular works to the world.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx17

>>6

They have motivation and probably speak about that vision beautifully from the heart, but…

There are people who don’t study or make any effort at all.

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

You’re suddenly stabbing me from behind, aren’t you?

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Incompetent enough not to disturb the writer.

4: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx16

Even if you say there are a lot of works, there probably aren’t that many episodes.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

I did it!

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

I will do it now.

I will do it now.

10: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>7

Monster…

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

The penis is out!

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

A spin-off project is being developed without permission…!?

Well, I wonder if that’s really how it is…

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>13

Since there are indications that the original creators are enthusiastic, a spin-off story has emerged from the original author and the editorial side.

If they are moving forward without getting the consent of the person in charge of the main story’s comic adaptation, then it might be possible.

In terms of rights, illustrators are really weak.

15: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

What’s scary is this editor.

I understand that, in manga, the role of introducing how-tos is often done by making mistakes.

“Everyone around me lacks motivation, but I am overflowing with enthusiasm.”

It’s a matter of self-awareness.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews
17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx13

I don’t like that it feels like a story or episode based on actual editing experiences.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

I think it clearly goes beyond what the protagonist should be doing, but if it’s based on real experiences, it might have become desensitized…

18: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

Based on what the anonymous person is saying…

Does that mean there are no erotic scenes edited by a sadistic editor…?

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if she was wearing that ribbon during the job interview.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

Huh…?

“Are you telling me to take off the ribbon while I am supporting the proofreading work on my own…?”

21: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx24

“I thought it was seriously scary to have an uneducated worker who thinks they are a motivated good person.”

26: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>21

Too much of an incompetent worker.

Shoot to kill.

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

I understand that the story is about a passionate but inexperienced protagonist and a capable senior who has something in their past.

I have a feeling that it might be set up a bit too immaturely, and I’m wondering if it can depict growth.

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The ribbon that looks like it’s from an anime character stands out among the other characters with regular hairstyles…

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can understand not wanting to cause waves and opting for ambiguity because of things like this being said.

25: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I thought having 21 volumes already published is quite a lot, but since I’ve written over 10 works, it basically gets canceled…

27: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

My penis is out.

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I don’t really care, but I dislike the roundabout remarks unique to proofreading and editing.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

The protagonist is motivated but has no knowledge, skills, or experience at all, causing failures and trouble for those around them.

It’s a typical manga template where a senior teaches and helps out with various things as one learns.

If we limit it to the former, there are quite a few in real life as well.

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

You shouldn’t use spin-off manga like a surprise party.

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

My best friend has become a successful manga artist, and if I had gotten involved, it would have just been a hindrance.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, not having motivation was still less frightening.

It’s scary to think that they are actually motivated with this.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

It’s still good if you’re motivated but aware of your own inexperience.

What’s scary is that there was nothing even up until this incident.

36: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Since there are only useless seniors around me, even though I have the motivation, no one tells me how to do my best, so I remain incompetent.

But since a capable and exemplary person has emerged, it’s not strange to say that I’ll learn from this person and surpass them, right?

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>36

It’s really scary that someone with drive has been incompetent all this time.

They believe the reputation of the initial move online, allowing it to be serialized and then canceled, causing real harm.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s really lacking for you not to have read the past works of the author you are in charge of…

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

I’m glad it clearly states that editing is not allowed.

It’s only natural to be sincere about the work of the person in charge…

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>41

So what was this child trying to be caring about in the author?

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>43

So, you thought it didn’t matter if it didn’t sell because you were really invested in it, right? You weren’t thinking at all about the future of a manga artist’s life, were you? That’s what they’re saying!

The protagonist is wrong about everything, incompetent, and all their mistakes are clearly pointed out!

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>51

Until now, I didn’t know what I considered to be a passionate editor on the side of the author, as pointed out.

But it was my misunderstanding, sorry.

This writer didn’t care at all.

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx8

>>41

Sincere.

It’s not good to try to balance both.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t the mistake between brother and younger brother worse than getting a penis out?

46: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Let’s at least read the manga we’re in charge of…

47: Japan Otaku Reviews

The editorial department surviving through isekai manga adaptations.

It’s quite outrageous that there’s no need to inform the artist in charge of the main comic adaptation about the new spin-off story, and that it’s intended as a surprise gift.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is confusing an older brother with a younger brother originally in English?

49: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Huh? Sorry, I might have read that wrong.

This guy doesn’t care about writers at all and has no interest in them.

Are you just trying to take credit as the editor of a popular work?

In that case, it’s not surprising to neglect the writer.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

That’s right.

I was told to properly wear a ribbon on my head, and I realized that wearing a ribbon on my head shows that I take my work as a manga artist seriously, so in the end, I decided to follow your example.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>67

I mistook you for someone who was working hard for the sake of the writers, sorry…

This guy was only doing everything for himself.

I had strange expectations because you were acting like a good person.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>72

This guy’s dream is to create the most interesting manga, not to cater to the circumstances of manga artists or to create popular manga.

So from the beginning, why did you have me draw with this theme when it was never going to sell with the ribbon? It’s bound to get criticized.

In the first place, if manga creators don’t sell their work, they can’t draw manga, right? So I end up reflecting on that after hearing it at the end.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>105

Despite aiming to be an editor based on my experience with my best friend, I guess I had been treating the idea of becoming a manga artist as disposable until it was mentioned to me…

That’s why the passionate editor has a scary personality.

115: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>112

I actually think there are probably people like this.

It’s like showing motivation without any achievements or studying.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are quite a few people who don’t really make an effort but, for some reason, have a high self-awareness and end up doing nothing but unnecessary things, thinking they are motivated.

You don’t need to make that part so real…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

For now, I feel a hint of yuri from Ribbon-chan, so I think I’ll read it.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since they are the incompetent workers that Zeekt mentioned, I guess there’s nothing to do but kill them.

If the story is about the protagonist of a work-related manga growing, then this position is suitable for storytelling.

However, it is essential to depict them as inept workers, and neglecting this will lead to negative reviews.

It seems that this manga has cleared that part, at least.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really think it’s terrible to pretend to be enthusiastic like this.

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

There may be parts that resonate with me.

People who ridicule the entire manga often blow up one aspect of failure in work-related manga.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>58

I don’t know what you read to think that, but the link to the manga in the thread is posted above, so go read it.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

Did Zeekt really say something like that?

What was the rumor again?

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>59

There are various theories.

Whether I actually said it or not.

I was just joking and not being serious in my argument.

It was someone else who said that.

and so on

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel like I’ve seen the phrase “ochinko deru” somewhere.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, you don’t have to worry, I quickly drop any mediocre manga in Ultra Jump.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it a great use case for how incompetent workers can cause discord?

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I understand why I felt so uncomfortable.

I wanted to become an editor since my student days, but I was too lazy to study.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>63

Despite having admired this world for decades, it seems they don’t know anything at all and have been criticized for it all along.

The same mistakes keep being repeated.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

The best way to enjoy work-related manga is to be unemployed… is that what you’re saying?

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it’s a crappy edit, is editing in manga really necessary? There are a lot of things that come up with that.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ms. Miyabi is sexy.

77: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>70

Perhaps the image is of Kaoru Mori-sensei.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

If the protagonist were reflecting on their own faults, it would be one thing, but the rivalry vibe of “I won’t acknowledge someone like you, deputy editor!” is really pathetic.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>71

Since they fail because of that in the story, just read the whole first episode or something…

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

Whether to fail, reflect, or change.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>71

Are you reading a different manga than me?

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Making other characters shine by making the comparison characters excessively incompetent tends to push readers away instead.

Perhaps because it’s too easy to depict, I still see it in various places now.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

This protagonist will get into a love triangle with a ribbon and a super popular author, right!

I understand!

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought the ribbon head was big, but in other panels, it looks small, which confuses me.

In other words, the height is obviously variable.

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the first two pages, it clearly states that editing is the job of selling the writer, and the protagonist couldn’t imagine what would happen to a manga artist if they couldn’t do that. Despite their intentions of having motivation and sincerity, they are just a fool. Even though it’s the first episode, I can only say that it’s true that they are incompetent.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>79

That’s right, so it’s scary.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

I want to depict the protagonist who has enthusiasm but is still inexperienced, and the capable but ill-natured sub-editor.

The protagonist just looks like a loser because they are slacking off to the point where you would think they would be doing it if they had any enthusiasm.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes there are people who think of their editor as either a dad or a mom, or both.

It’s just a site supervisor acting as a subcontractor for a general contractor, right?

95: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>87

You don’t need to take care of areas outside of your job scope, but aren’t you supposed to do your job properly?

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>87

You can’t even do the job of that site supervisor.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Most readers are likely to drop out before the protagonist grows.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you need a massive ribbon?

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The teacher who doesn’t get angry at the excessive poor edits is just too common.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>90

As a result, it’s hard for the person to think of it as anything other than being looked down upon.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s nice that they neglect tedious tasks like proofreading but still put in effort for pointless surprises…

94: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It seems that there are some people who interpret that I didn’t come to like you because I recognized you as a goal and an opponent to surpass as an editor.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

Is that what you call tsundere?

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

Earlier, Ribbon said to me, “Someday you will come to like me!”

I admire it, but I’ll surpass it someday! Besides, this is different from what I fell in love with! I said.

120: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>114

(That’s so tsundere…)

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>94

It’s an otherworldly uncle!

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

◆What about this edit…?

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

It looks like I’m getting angry in the end because my boss, who is also at a level where he gives guidance based on work quality.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

The reason this protagonist is no good is that it’s disrespectful to the author and the art; someone should guide them before the new editor arrives.

103: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>102

It’s just handling the aftermath of a defeat on the verge of going out of business, and since there’s no motivation and it doesn’t matter, no one points it out, right?

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

Looks like I don’t have the motivation.

On the contrary, I hope you don’t show off your enthusiasm and capability in future discussions.

If it happens, it will turn into malice because the protagonist has not been educated until now.

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

It is said from the protagonist’s perspective that the motivation around them is low.

Well, I’m not sure how it is with this feeling, though.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>102

Everything around is depicted as trash, right?

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

The role of an editor is too vague and I don’t understand it.

Are you fulfilling your official duties from the company just by transporting manuscripts without being involved in the work?

Is it part of the job to go through past works like in the thread and give descriptive advice, or is it just a way to drain motivation?

117: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

In school-themed stories, the editor might create an overall map of the school.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

The only thing I can praise about this guy is that he’s great for not dragging his best friend down by staying away!

110: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s like a story where a genius first-year ace shows up in a baseball club that’s falling apart and full of delinquents.

113: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>110

In that analogy, the only motivated protagonist is so ignorant about baseball that it makes you think, “What is this guy?”

116: Japan Otaku Reviews

From the writer’s perspective, I want the editor to be a host.

Editing feels like a job I do because I dislike customer service.

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

This teacher’s expression of strength and surprise is about 90% due to the unexpected attack from behind, so please try not to draw it out of habit next time.

121: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was confused by a panel where I couldn’t tell if the character was facing backward or forward.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it necessary to get permission to start a spin-off, just as an adaptation of the original work and not as the original creator?

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>123

If you think it’s unnecessary, you can do whatever you like.

Even the comic artist in charge has the right to step down from a job that they’ve been treated poorly in.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

There shouldn’t be any legal issues, but…

It’s an example of how failing to follow through can lead to trouble.

131: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

If there are depictions not found in the original work and it’s still established, then it’s fine.

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

One of the stakeholders in the story is explicitly identified as being concerned about profit distribution; do you have any thoughts on that?

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>123

I will contact you as usual.

136: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>123

Since the comic is based on a minor web novel that hasn’t been published in book form, I think there are considerable rights involved.

124: Japan Otaku Reviews

Manga editor Takeda-kun

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There must be many manga artists whose potential has been crushed because of this guy, and in that regard, it’s already impossible to follow up.

If I had to say, I feel like this guy growing up and being able to create hits instead of just having his works canceled would be a form of atonement.

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

My penis is out!

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

Could it be that the manga artist’s personal grievances are somewhat reflected in this protagonist?

128: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Aside from the unpleasant aspects, it was a fairly intriguing work that left me wanting to know what happens next.

134: Japan Otaku Reviews

Reading the already published 21 volumes…!?

139: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>134

What are you going to do if you become a mob character in another world?

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

This is fiction, but I’ve seen a series (that was canceled) that was so full of typos every time that I wanted to doubt the editing process.

137: Japan Otaku Reviews

At least let’s surprise them and make them happy! It’s not something to keep quiet about.

138: Japan Otaku Reviews

T, who is just annoying, has actually been involved in several hit works, so they must be capable.

142: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>138

Seriously capable.

There are times when the bad jokes with the original creator are really bad.

141: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Isn’t it a bit too reckless not to read the past works of the assigned author…?

145: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

Are you saying I should buy it?

154: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>145

It’s fine if you read it without buying.

143: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The work doesn’t feel unpleasant because it’s intentionally drawn as an incompetent protagonist.

155: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>143

It is also a double protagonist compared to the capable deputy editor.

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it too harsh to tell a veteran of this series not to write out of habit? Just say it yourself…

161: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>146

The number of installments and the number of published works…

148: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Usually, that’s not the case, but the animator treats the protagonist like a bodhisattva and gets constantly disrespected, so it’s no wonder they lose their temper.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>148

What the… just because I mistyped “forgive” as “kill” and changed the planned 10 signed copies to 100…

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

It’s terrible how plausible the screw-up seems.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>162

In a way, it’s an inside joke, and similar things probably happened.

169: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>162

It’s out…!

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

The latter wouldn’t be surprising if a denunciation manga were released, or rather, it has already been released.

149: Japan Otaku Reviews

Why do they criticize the portrayal of incompetence in the first episode so much when it’s clear that it’s a story about the growth of an incapable person?

In Dragon Quest: The Adventure of Dai, is there a person who just can’t forgive Pop for how cowardly and useless he was in the beginning, no matter how much he has grown?

151: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>149

I can understand if it were a rookie like in “Shuppan Shutsujin,” but this guy has a decent career and has caused victims.

153: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>149

Before convincing Maho, it’s generally not allowed…

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>149

I understand the intention, but isn’t this a typical case of a problem with the way it’s presented?

As expected, being too inexperienced as a working adult before growing up is problematic.

175: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>149

That misunderstanding that if a new work has the same elements as a past masterpiece, it should have the same value is already annoying.

150: Japan Otaku Reviews

To be honest, there’s no reason to keep quiet, and if there’s movement in the overall work, it’s better to report it…

152: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, if you show me a tale of growth, then I’ll praise you at that time.

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

There must be many works in the world that end up being “why is this?” because their passion went awry.

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

It’s also great that the character who is set up as capable actually has depictions that make them seem capable.

There are many manga with amazing settings but poor descriptions.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

It looks like someone who makes oversized rice balls at a rice ball shop.

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I think the most unpleasant aspect of this protagonist is how they look down on their colleagues.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

I don’t understand the deletion criteria.

Are you deleting them randomly?

170: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s a story about someone who’s nothing but an incompetent worker, but is going to become a capable worker from now on, right?

171: Japan Otaku Reviews

Based on reading the first episode, it seems my best friend is a popular manga artist, but I wonder how the story will connect.

174: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>171

The best friend is a fiercely dedicated lesbian who has climbed to success because she wanted to work with the protagonist!

…How is it?

178: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>174

Yuri brain!!

184: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>178

B-but…!

A rave review…!

177: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

I really hate the very existence of editing, and I had a conflict with Ribbon because of it, which is probably why Ribbon got exiled.

180: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

The deputy editor is probably the former editor-in-charge.

185: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>171

It feels like I’m drawing commercially successful manga, but I’m not able to draw the manga I really want to.

172: Japan Otaku Reviews

Isn’t it a story about reviving the magazine with the responsibility of a close friend?

173: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Surely this ribbon is also from when Yamanoi was aiming to be an editor since middle school, and while they might be saying it’s a nice story, inside they must be thinking, “Huh…!?”

176: Japan Otaku Reviews

I also enjoy the development of “I hated you.”

179: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If there are too few expression patterns and it just looks like it’s drawn out of habit, it really loses its appeal on the page…

181: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’ve never seen someone who’s supposed to follow up after being harshly criticized suddenly stop halfway through.

I think you’re being seen as someone who can’t be helped even if told.

186: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>181

Not being a bad person and not being a capable person can coexist.

182: Japan Otaku Reviews

What you want to do is clear, but if you drag out the growth too long, this manga itself might get canceled, so be careful!

183: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder if they’re deleting it for a summary.

187: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s hard to understand, so please mention specific names of other manga to explain it.
