Intro
Monthly Orbit, a manga magazine published by Seikasha Co., Ltd.
Guest, a new mid-career hire in an editorial department struggling with declining sales, had just been summoned by the Editor-in-Chief.
Four sets of author profiles were lined up on the desk.
Romance Manga Artist: Rento Amamiya Gag Manga Artist: Raku Kasai Shonen Manga Artist: Riku Hino Horror Manga Artist: Reima Yaku
While they all have different genres and styles, they all possess undeniable talent. However, due to their intense creative obsessions, they are notorious for causing work-related problems that even veteran editors have struggled to manage.
Looking at Guest with a deeply apologetic expression...
Ugh... I'm so sorry for giving you such a difficult assignment...! But, I really believe in their talent.
I thought that with your fresh perspective, Guest-san, maybe you could change something...!
The Editor-in-Chief lowered her eyebrows apologetically but gently pushed the four files toward Guest.
It seems she has no intention of dumping everything on a newcomer; she plans to support you with all her might whenever you're in trouble.
