Yusuke Sato put down the magazine in his hand. "I didn't expect... it would be Himeno's death and exit?"

After reading the serialization last week, he thought this week would be Aki Hayakawa's death.

But unexpectedly, Aki Hayakawa didn't die; instead, it was Himeno, who liked Aki Hayakawa, who died and left the scene.

The most important thing is...

He frowned. "Hasn't Himeno's character been established yet? He actually planned her death and exit like this...".

It was a truly reckless decision.

Even if it was like Maine in Edgerunners, there was good characterization before his death and exit.

Although Himeno's words to Aki Hayakawa before her death still moved Yusuke Sato, he still felt this characterization wasn't perfect.

At least it didn't manage to draw enough tears from the audience.

But after seeing Fire Punch, Yusuke Sato hesitated again.

A genius like Ren... What if the plot takes an unexpected turn? In short, Yusuke Sato felt he couldn't see Ren's intentions.

"But this is what makes it interesting," he said with a smile. "The popularity of my The Gods is getting closer and closer to yours."

"If it continues like this, it's meaningless for me to surpass you...".

The latest plot of Chainsaw Man has also sparked a small heated discussion among manga fans.

"I didn't expect... it would be Himeno-senpai who got stabbed this time."

"Himeno-senpai is so good... she gave everything for Aki Hayakawa."

"Wow! I didn't expect it would be Himeno-senpai who got stabbed this time."

"In this artwork, where Himeno-senpai is holding flowers, the flowers in her hands are daisies... the language of daisies is secret love and unknown love..."

"And Himeno said she hoped Aki Hayakawa would cry for her, but she didn't say it out loud. She hoped Aki Hayakawa would love her..."

"No, Himeno didn't even say she hoped Aki Hayakawa would cry for her... that's what she feels!"

"I really want to cry... Himeno obviously loves Aki Hayakawa very much, but Aki Hayakawa likes Makima."

"Don't cry, the female protagonist Makima is also dead..."

"Alas, Himeno also realized she didn't have much time left after getting shot, so she decided to give up everything to save Aki Hayakawa."

"In any case, if Aki Hayakawa died, the remaining Power would flee and Denji would be injured and fall to the ground, Himeno wouldn't be able to survive."

"Just help Denji activate the chainsaw sooner... There's no need to let Aki Hayakawa and Himeno take risks..."

"Seriously, Power should have activated Denji's chainsaw first."

"Power also fled, I hate her so much, why did she run away like that?"

...

There are still some manga fans who mourn Himeno's death and disappearance.

Fan Siwei is also a bit stunned. In fact, he likes Himeno.

After all, who doesn't like a beautiful, optimistic older sister with a good figure?

"Alas... Himeno-senpai..."

But Fan Siwei was sad, but he didn't break down as before.

Compared to Edgerunners and Fire Punch which he saw before, is the knife from Chainsaw Man now... easier to swallow? "Denji... must avenge Himeno-senpai."

In the end, Fan Siwei could only hope that Denji would give Himeno a good revenge.

To deal with bad people, they must be severely punished!

Only when they pay the price with their lives can people be satisfied! Not only Fan Siwei, but also Chainsaw Man fans generally share the same opinion about Himeno's death.

But in general, Yusuke Sato's idea is correct.

At this moment, Himeno's characterization is not complete, so her death is only a little moving.

After all, she gave everything for her unknown love and her secret love for Aki Hayakawa.

More manga fans were mocking Ren himself for this plot.

"I know this knife technique! Isn't that how Kiwi and Gloria died?"

"Have you ever seen a knife technique that fell from the sky?"

"He's a mental patient... I can't imagine who he will kill..."

"He just allied with Denji for the sufferers, but he died two episodes later, really..."

"Poor Himeno-senpai!"

"Don't forget the female protagonist Makima... She died even more miserably, I was stunned."

The manga fans on the forum were discussing it, but it seems that not everyone has deeply felt Himeno's death yet.

Only some are sad, or... most of Ren's manga fans are more tolerant, so this little sadness is nothing...

But... will it really be like this?

...

"Sensei..."

Yuka sobbed as she finished the work in front of her. "You are really cruel...".

They are now finishing the draft of the series.

Yuka had just finished drawing the special "cigarette," and Ren was in charge of drawing the characters himself.

Hiroki's and Akutami Yuta's eyes were red, visibly hurt by the knife.

"It's nothing," Ren said helplessly. "This is Himeno's final form. I hope... that everyone can mourn her death."

"Is this what the sensei said before, completing the final form with death?" Akutami Yuta asked with red eyes.

"Yes..." Ren replied with a smile. "That's right, the character's formation will be deeply rooted in people's hearts. After all, many times, you can only judge after closing the coffin."

"A person will show everything about themselves after death."

"Their past, their true personality, their obsession, their dreams, and their emotions...".

"Everything will be fully revealed after death, and finally... it will be sublimated!"

Yuka sobbed; she had finally understood.

What Ren had said before was true. Only after the character's death, everything about them will be revealed without reservation.

And afterward, their development will be perfectly captured.

After Hiroki and Akutami Yuta personally participated in Himeno's final development, they also understood each other better.

"I was so looking forward to you coming to clean the closets!".

Suddenly, Ren's cell phone rang.

After seeing the caller ID, he answered, "Ayumi? Moshi Moshi?".

"It's me, sensei," Ayumi replied. "I called to tell you something."

"What's up?" Ren asked bluntly.

"That's right, Chainsaw Man is now available in a single volume, you shouldn't have any objections, right?" Ayumi asked.

"Huh? It's going to be a single volume so soon?" Ren asked, surprised.
