Then the boring autograph session began.

In this session, the mangakas become relentless autograph machines, repeatedly signing their own names and writing other words according to the fans' requests.

"Amamiya-sensei, I'm your fan."

The first person to approach was a Lucy cosplayer, who didn't have a volume of Edgerunners in her hand.

"Sign here."

Instead, she presented her shirt in front of Ren, getting so close that even the huge scar was clearly visible.

She looked at Ren and continued to flirt, whispering, "Can I... get Amamiya-sensei's Penguin account?"

I must say, this cosplayer is quite attractive. You can tell at first glance that she's a professional.

She looked at the young and handsome Ren in front of her but felt inexplicably moved.

At first... she thought it would be good to have contact with this talented mangaka who has been gaining popularity lately...

Ren Amamiya, this talented and popular mangaka, must have a good income...

So, for money, she could accept him even if he wasn't very attractive.

But she didn't expect this talented mangaka in front of her to be unexpectedly young and attractive...

However...

"I don't use Penguin," Ren said with a "friendly" smile, signed his name on her clothes, and then shouted, "Next!"

The Lucy cosplayer froze and was then moved along by the staff.

Her face was furious, but it wasn't easy to get angry there.

Sakura, who was near the backstage, saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief.

However, this sigh of relief was seen by Ayumi, Yuka, Hiroki, Akutami Yuta, and others.

It seems... the relationship between Sakura and Amamiya-sensei is really like that...

As Ren's assistant, Hiroki, who is also a man, can't help but feel some envy. Amamiya-sensei... is quite a winner.

At his young age, he has become a recognized and popular mangaka in the industry, and there are such beautiful girls who appreciate him...

As for Akutami Yuta, who is also Ren's assistant and a man, why wouldn't he be envious?

It can only be said that after getting along for this time, Ren also noticed that his assistant seemed a bit... ahem.

Except for the small episode at the beginning, Ren returned to the expected, boring signing session.

Suddenly...

"Amamiya-sensei..."

In front of Ren, a different volume appeared.

The cover is not a portrait of David, but a face with half of it covered in flames.

It's Agni, the male protagonist of Fire Punch!

This is a single volume of Fire Punch! Ren looked at the fan, only to see that it was a woman who seemed thinner.

"I'm also your fan, but I'm a little different," the girl said. "I like the work Fire Punch more. Can you sign it for me?"

"Of course."

Ren neatly signed the cover of Fire Punch.

Whether it's Edgerunners or Fire Punch, they are all his fans.

So, what's so special about signing a single volume?

Unless he signs a work that isn't his, he might feel a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I wanted to ask, what does Amamiya-sensei want to express in Fire Punch?" the fan suddenly asked again.

"Me?"

Ren thought for a moment, "If it's just from my personal point of view, it's that no matter what happens, even if this world is a lie and everything is meaningless, you have to live!"

This is his own idea of Fire Punch. As for Mr. Fujimoto's idea, he doesn't know.

"Really?"

The fan became thoughtful, but the staff reminded her to move on.

She walked out slowly with the single volume of Fire Punch.

Ren continued to look at the next fan and carried on with his relentless signing work.

This time, due to the influence of the Edgerunners animation, it was evident that more fans were attending.

Therefore, he signed for a whole afternoon but didn't finish.

This is because... time was up.

The signing also has a time limit; otherwise, for mangakas with too many fans, wouldn't it last for several days and nights? So, when the time comes, it will end.

The Edgerunners signing could last until he signed for the last fan because Edgerunners wasn't popular back then.

Now, precisely because of its popularity, the number of fans is so large.

The signing can no longer last until he signs for the last fan, and it will end.

Although the remaining fans are a little regretful, they can't do anything.

The fans who got Ren's autograph are very happy.

...

After the signing session, Ren took Sakura, Ayumi, and the others and planned to go home.

Yuka, Hiroki, and Akutami Yuta saw with their own eyes today how crowded a successful mangaka's autograph session is.

Seeing the crowd of fans and Ren's "sad" situation signing autographs, they aren't very interested in the session.

Hiroki is still yearning.

But Yuka and Akutami Yuta secretly decided they wouldn't do autograph sessions even if they became famous in the future.

No! It's better not to reveal either their name or their appearance!

"Sensei... is your hand okay?" Yuka asked with concern.

"Me?"

Ren said with a smile, "Luckily, I've gotten used to it and I have a special physique!"

He does have a special physique; he didn't lie.

Sakura and Ayumi also knew that Ren had a special physique.

At least when his last book signing session ended, Ren behaved completely normally...

"Alright! Ready to go back!"

Ren took out his keys and planned to drive home.

But at that moment...

"Chirp, chirp, chirp!"

A strange cry came from the nearby bushes.

"This is...".

Ren approached the bushes and saw that the one lying on the ground, groaning non-stop, was actually a sparrow...

But it didn't seem to be in good condition, and one of its wings seemed to be pierced.

That's probably why it can't fly here...

"What a pity!".

Ren looked at it with pity.

"Ren..."

Sakura also picked up the little sparrow at that moment and said with pity.

"Alright, let's take it and take care of it," Ren also said after thinking about it.
