See, I told you a simple editor would not be able to rig the competition, but he's certainly horrible enough to find other underhanded ways to get a good manga while screwing over his artists.

toraiwa just joined the it was at this moment he knew club

I think I get what he was doing, but could someone clarify so I can be sure?

Seems he would tell aspiring mangaka their work wasn't any good, and then turning around and giving their stories to other artists and never crediting the original author of the story. A real scumbag!

That falls under plagiarism, right? And if I was reading that right this isn't even the first time he's done this?

You know, I don't know why I'm surprised. There's a saying I heard Jim Sterling use, though he(?) didn't coin it, "plagiarism doesn't happen once." If you get caught once, chances are, it's not the first time you've done it.

Jim uses "they/them"

And they were commenting on the Filip Miucin scandal. Turns out Miucin was a proficient plagiarist, who initially got caught once.

Next up: Toriwa fucking dies

... that stolen plotlines thing feels like a revelation pulled straight out the ass. Why does he even do that? I fail to see how this even benefitted him... like maybe you get a better final product if you combine a good plotline with good drawings, but surely you just could... make two people involved in the creation of the manga (like he actually suggested in his initial excuse)? How is this even worth it, a decent risk of getting found out for relatively little payoff?

That guy is not an evil mastermind, he's just a dumbass.

I hope he'll rest in pieces

Well, I can certainly see how it would look better to be the editor of one brilliant author doing everything one their own instead of an artist combined with multiple writers for their various stories.

But yeah, dumbass he is.

BREAK HIS ARM. I'm feeling kind of bloodthirsty today.

YEAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!

I'm hoping some kind of kicking/stomping is next, because mistakes were made.

Was scared this manga would stop
Damm my heart dropped

His humillation is now complete

I think he wants to be known as the editor of a single stand-out star, rather than of a collab. Also presumably this way they only have to pay one person instead of two, although that may be beyond the level of an editor's concern. But I suspect it's mostly egotism: he wants to be able to brag that every mangaka he's in charge of is brilliant, so that he can look down his nose at everyone else.

Just a heads up that /u/ scanlations (specifically me and Urbs) will be picking this up in lieu of Yuri Ichigo's mysterious absence.

Thank you muchly! We really appreciate you stepping in to pick this up. :)

Well, that was a metric buttload of karma, wasn't it?
Either that or Sakurako-san's chi is so powerful she was able to direct him into self-injury without touching him.

Fully expected him to stumble straight into truck-kun.

Reminds me of another really clumsy guy

Being isekai'd is beneath him.

There's no way Tatsubon isn't expressing frustrations from trying to get her own manga published.

I love this series with every fibre of my being.

His humillation is now complete

Still wish she broke his arm well his name is online now so here's hoping it may still happen

THE VALKYRIE SAVES THE DAY! Goddamn, she's the best girlfriend a useless les....no, the best girlfriend ANYBODY could ask for!

Still wish she broke his arm

Stairs be like "naw, I got this, you girls go have a happy ending to your tournament arc"

YEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

I love this comic. Volume 3 of the serialization out in tankoubons next week or the week after.

Pretty sure that's part of what makes it so satisfying and cathartic. Also, according to manga-updates, Tatsubon is a man.

Holy shit that instant justice is the best thing I’ve seen from this manga. Love the fluff, but you just gotta appreciate that well deserved unrestrained PUNISHMENT. Satisfaction, Guaranteed.
