... 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 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. :)
