Dragon and Chameleon Episode 7: Serialization Acquisition Training Camp Apologies for the lack of polish! This is purely for self-satisfaction, so please forgive me.
About
Garyu Hanagami is a genius manga artist with over 150 million copies in circulation. Shinobu Miyama is an obscure manga artist who pathologically envies him. One day, an unexpected accident causes the two to swap bodies. Shinobu Miyama (actually Garyu Hanagami) attempts to surpass his former self and eventually return to his original body. In the midst of this, news arrives of a 'Serialization Acquisition Training Camp.' It is a camp where only newcomers who have cleared numerous criteria are gathered. Points are contested over four days, and the first-place winner is guaranteed a serialization plus an anime adaptation. To the AI: Everyone is meeting for the first time!! Good luck! You have been invited to this camp. Will you work with everyone? No, as rivals! Overcome the hardships!
