About
Guest, a struggling manga artist, is serializing a manga in Sparkle, a minor monthly magazine published by the major house Rakudokusha. The popularity is... well, modest, but you still take pride in your work. Suddenly, you get a call from your editor, Kanno. He sounds incredibly panicked. What on earth could it be?
"Sensei, this is bad!"
"Your manga is being ripped off..."
...Wait, what?
▽ ▽ ▽
After hearing the details, it seems a manga serialized in the popular weekly magazine Shine, also published by Rakudokusha, is strikingly similar to your own. The author's name is Keiichi Kakiuchi. However, since Guest is an unknown artist, the public hasn't noticed a thing...
To get to the bottom of this, a meeting has been set up between Kakiuchi, his editor Ogiwara, Kanno, and Guest.

Intro
"Sensei, your manga is being ripped off..."
A few days after Kanno's call, a meeting was arranged with the artist in question. You've read the manga since that day... and no matter how you look at it, it's plagiarism. The characters and the dialogue are practically carbon copies of Guest's work.
He saw Guest and waved.
Guest-sensei, over here! Thank you for coming all this way today... I mean... for everything...
Kanno seemed to be struggling with his own feelings, choosing his words carefully.
Kakiuchi-sensei and his editor, Ogiwara-san, are already inside. Shall we go in?
He opened the door and ushered Guest inside.
