Is this mangaka crazy?

After finishing the exhausting night shift,

Haruto Sato stretched his weak muscles a bit and then returned home.

He wasn't working overtime, but because his job itself was a night shift.

So he had long been used to working nights and went to work after waking up.

But after getting off work, he looked at the time, and it was only nine in the morning.

He had no intention of going to bed so soon.

Haruto Sato even ordered takeout. While waiting, he turned on his computer and logged into Penguin.

One of the groups was called Anime Lovers.

The members of the silly group were very lively in the group early in the morning, but it took him a moment to clear the 99+ notifications.

As the name suggests, this is a group of anime lovers.

And Haruto Sato is also an anime lover, very interested in anime, but he basically doesn't read manga.

"Finally off work."

He also directly entered and typed.

People Who Love to Tear Fascia: "The boss is off work!"

Wansui Daozu: "Damn it, I just got to work!"

Jun Zhiwoyi: "You know I work the night shift."

Haruto Sato was a little speechless, but that's the daily life of sand sculpture group members.

Liangbanjianshouqing: "Hey, I heard a very popular anime came out recently, "Edgerunners". Have you seen it?"

People Who Love to Break Their Heads: "Nonsense! If you don't watch "Edgerunners", there will be no good animation in March!"

Haruto Sato suddenly became curious because he wasn't interested in manga.

And there's the limitation of manga. Generally, many well-known manga, if they are not animated,

practically no one knows about them.

Even being famous in the manga industry, it's still the same, like Ren's previous life's "Spy x Family".

If it weren't for the overwhelming publicity of the animation production, many people who don't read manga would never know about such a work.

Jun Sui Wu Yi: "Edgerunners? Is it good?"

Wansui Daozu: "It's okay... I watched one episode last night. The first episode was pretty mediocre, but they said the rest of the show was full of energy."

Ai Tear Fascia: "Very good! I watched the whole series online yesterday. Of course, you can't see anything from the first episode."

Wansui Daozu: "Only one episode was aired on TV? Where did you watch the whole series?"

Ai Tear Fascia: "Don't you know? Besides being aired on TV, Edgerunners also premiered online at the same time, on a small website."

Wansui Daozu: "Hurry! Send me the address!"

Ai Tear Fascia: "But it costs three hundred yen per episode, but you can watch the whole series directly with a one thousand yen monthly membership."

Jun Sui Wu Yi: "One thousand yen to watch the whole series; one hundred yen per episode is not bad."

Japan in this world still enjoys a relatively good situation, so everyone is willing to support genuine products.

You would never prefer to order takeout for 2,000 yen rather than watch the genuine product for 1,000.

Seeing this, the person who tears fascia copied the website address.

Haruto Sato clicked and went directly to the browser, arriving at a website with a very neat interface:

"Cilicili Danmu Network".

He looked at the website name and couldn't help but think it was a bit strange.

But... what does it matter?

He went to watch the anime, but on the website's scrolling homepage, an anime poster appeared with a note below: "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners".

Very good, it saved him the trouble of searching.

Haruto Sato clicked directly, but...

the page asked him to complete registration and log in.

It's a bit troublesome... He frowned.

Still, he completed the registration and logged in according to the instructions, and directly opened a one thousand yen monthly membership.

Soon after, he clicked on "Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners" and, indeed, on the video page, the words "ten episodes" and "completed" appeared.

"Ding Dong! Hello, your takeout!"

Just then, the takeout arrived, so Haruto Sato went to get it first.

Then he returned to his desk and started playing "Edgerunners".

After the opening song finished,

the story of "Edgerunners" animation slowly appeared before him.

But...

"What is this?" Haruto Sato asked, somewhat irritated, looking at the subtitles floating on the video.

"First!" he exclaimed.

"Welcome to the cyberpunk world!"

"Hello, cyberpsychos!"

"There's a knife ahead! Get ready!" he exclaimed.

"Hahaha, everyone's already here." Although there weren't many people, the annoying bullet screen irritated Haruto Sato a little.

But seeing a switch at the end of the video, he decided to turn it off.

In an instant, the screen was clean again.

"I don't know why they do this; wouldn't it be better to just show them the animation sincerely?" Haruto Sato asked, dissatisfied.

Then he continued watching the "Edgerunners" animation.

Trigger Studios attaches great importance to the production of "Edgerunners" and has invested a lot of money.

Therefore, the animation production of "Edgerunners" is as smooth as Ren's previous life, which makes "Edgerunners" even more vivid to the audience.

The adrenaline-pumping battle scenes, the crazy and desperate future technological world, the crazy but powerful prosthetic transformation...

Haruto Sato watched David go from being a poor boy with nothing to losing his mother, but accidentally meeting Lucy.

Later, thanks to Lucy, he met trustworthy companions like Maine and Dolio.

But then, David kept losing.

Kiwi, Dolio, Maine, Rebecca, Kiko...

Haruto Sato fell silent. He looked at the delicious takeout in front of him and felt he had no appetite.

The classic scenes from Ren's previous life's "Edgerunners" reappeared one by one.

"I'll take you to the moon!"

A unique romantic background music, "Moonlight Romance", played, making David and Lucy's kiss under the moon even more romantic.

...

Episode 6.

"Damn it! Stop trembling!"

David's face was covered in sweat, and he was pointing a gun at the door with an uncontrollably fearful expression.

"Go with your anti-terrorist squad! Let's go!"

The image remained on David's face for a few seconds, almost making Haruto Sato think his network was blocked.

However, Maine put his hand on David's at that moment...

He gave him a gentle slap, and David looked at him.

"This is my end."

Maine looked at David and said: "But you have to live."

David opened his eyes in disbelief and slowly turned to Maine.

And Maine finally said:

"Aren't you faster than anyone else?"

Maine's twisted face, caught between kind and mad, reappeared on the animation screen.

"Now... run..."
