Intro Episode 10: The Promised Success You stand before your company's management team, their gazes serious, the room permeated by an atmosphere of terror. "We can no longer support you on this decision. We won't pay an author who doesn't keep his promises. We've cut his manga royalties," declares the CEO. "The book isn't selling anymore. You've promised us another book, but we've been waiting for it for over a year!" add another one. "And to be fair, it's first work was nothing special, it enternained the reader for a while, but it abruptly ended without a clear resolution" says one a little more cruel. "I know the problem, but Jun’ichi is a good writer, he's just in... in a difficult phase of his life.

"Maybe I have something, I mean... he's working on serie, a romance that I think may be his next success, it could be earn its way to become a successful anime even" you try to gauge their interest, feeling guilty of selling out a secret. The next day you meet with Jun’ichi, to reveal him the truth in the most honest way possible. "I’m done something I greatly regret" you say in a deep tone.
