Tokyo, Thursday Afternoon
Sakuragaoka High School – Lunch Break
Nao leaned back in his chair, phone in hand, scrolling through the latest Trigun promotional art.
“Sōta, you coming to buy the new Muzishiro manga after school?”
Sōta looked up from his bento. “Obviously. I’ve been waiting a month for this.”

Haruki had been busy even through the New Year period. His assistants had taken their break, so for a short while, he had nothing urgent to deal with. He spent that time playing a few games, getting some fresh air, going out for light jogs, trying to keep himself refreshed. The rest of the...

Inside the meeting hall, there were fewer people compared to a Japanese anime studio meeting. Present were the CEO, Executive Producer, Director, Production Manager, CG Supervisor, and Sales Executive, the core leadership of Maya Studio.
The sales executive spoke first, tablet in hand.

As December drew to a close, Evermark officially announced that Code Geass Season 2 was now under production. With the second season officially underway, Haruki, Kazuya, and Masafumi had reduced the time they spent working on Haruki’s original anime pipeline, which was nearly complete. Only minor tests remained for scaling ...
2025-12-23 19:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostI drafted chapters for today and yesterday, but after reviewing them, I felt they weren’t moving the story forward in a meaningful way and were slowing the pacing. I decided to cut those sections and move directly into the next chapter so the story can progress properly.

Chain Veil posted an announcement on their official website: Muzishiro would be serializing a new manga with them starting in January.
This time, it wasn’t just fans paying attention.
Every major publishing house had been watching. After Echo Shroud announced Code Geass as a manga, the industry knew Echo Shroud ...

Echo Shroud officially announced the serialization of Code Geass as a manga. The discussion that had started to slow down surged again, dominating conversations.

The meeting hall had only a handful of people present, far fewer than the usual quarterly meeting where new serializat...
2025-12-17 20:55:13 +0000 UTC View PostI can’t write four chapters at the same time, so I decided to do a double chapter release this week to cover last week’s chapter. Today’s double chapter is about 12 hours late.
2025-12-17 19:55:52 +0000 UTC View PostTwo days had passed.
Afternoon light filtered through the blinds in Haruki’s office. Haruki was busy with his usual drawings, papers spread across his desk, when a man entered the room and stopped a few steps inside.
The man was in his early thirties, maybe mid-thirties. He wore wire-frame glasses and a suit that looked professiona...

In the meantime, I’ve mapped out the entire Volume 3, so there shouldn’t be any writer’s block going forward. I’m releasing two chapters right now, and the next two chapters will be released about 12 hours...
2025-12-15 21:57:10 +0000 UTC View PostI have a viral infection, so I haven’t been able to focus on writing for the past two days. I also won’t be able to release new chapters for the next two days.
I’ll try to release five chapters at the same time on Monday. I think I’ll be alright by then.
Thank you for your patience.

Haruki checked his phone. 5:28 PM. The car would arrive any minute.
He looked over his speech again. He had prepared something short and simple: thank everyone and sit down.
As his phone buzzed:
Haruka: Are you ready?
Haruki: I'm ready.
Sorry everyone, today has been a complete mess. My laptop and Gmail were hacked, and I only just managed to recover everything. Hopefully this does not happen again anytime soon.
I still have some light editing left for the chapter, and I will try to upload it within the next 12 hours.
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for your...
[Note:- I wanted to release the whole scene together, but the Echo Shroud celebration arc expanded from two chapters to three, and I'm still writing the third one.]

It started at 1k, then went up to 1.9k, then 2.2k, which felt too long, so I cut it back down to around 1.4–1.5k. I wasn’t aiming for a specific word count; it just settled naturally at this length.
Also, about the recent ...

Through the window, Haruki could already see the crowd gathered outside, dozens of people without tickets, pressed against the barricades, craning their necks toward each arriving vehicle. It was just past eight in the morning. The signing event did not officially start for another fifteen minutes, ...
2025-12-04 05:46:30 +0000 UTC View PostAs you know, this chapter is going to be pretty long, so I’ll make it a double chapter after I finish writing the whole section. If I split it now, I might forget to add something later.
2025-12-02 17:45:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone,
For Haruki’s next manga, I’ve narrowed it down to two options: Mob Psycho 100 or Trigun.
I’ve already watched Mob Psycho and really liked it, but I haven’t seen Trigun yet. From what I’ve heard, Vash is considered one of the best-written protagonists in anime and manga, but the original has pacing issues and a...

When I first started translating this story, I never thought I'd end up writing it myself. Back then, I set a standard rate of $5.50 for all content since translating took less time.
