Going to Akihabara & The Creation of Food Wars! And Crazy Crazy Love!
The next day came and it was officially Sunday morning, I woke up completely refreshed and not a sore muscle on my body, so I got up and went to take a shower before getting dressed in nice clean clothes and getting my morning breakfast with a cup of milk.
"Man even though this stuff is just heated up instead of made fresh still tastes amazing! TeruTeru really does deserve the title of Ultimate Chef after all." I say as I begin to eat my rather healthy breakfast with a smile on my face.
"Master what are we going to do today? Are you gonna work on your art and start drawing something up?" Shinigami said as she appeared out of nowhere while drinking from a juice box that she got somewhere that wasn't my fridge.
"…. Well later I will, but first things first is that we have to go to Akihabara and sell off all the memorabilia to make some quick cash, it should be enough with selling all of it to pay for the rent at least, or at least close to it, besides everything is in mint condition after all, and some not even out of the box yet so it makes it likely they will sell decently well, after that we can begin working on my art piece I'm interested in drawing up, so long that is it hasn't appeared in this world as well." But I doubt it as I looked up the title and it came up with articles not related to what I was looking for what so ever so I knew that, that manga hadn't been made yet.
That Manga being Shougeki no Soma or otherwise known as Food Wars! One of the best culinary manga/anime of all time, and one that I know if I got TeruTeru to read would absolutely love it, all I need to do is draw up the first chapter before sending it off to a publishing company, though I'll look online to see which ones are the best choice later to choose from them all.
I don't need the absolute best one as they will slave drive me to make more chapters for them even if the pay is great, I'm not gonna let myself be forced to work that much and cause me to burn out.
So after eating my food I made a call to another moving company to bring a truck that will help grab my stuff and help bring it with me to Akihabara and to the store known as the 'Otaku Bizarre' the place that buys and sells all types of new and used merchandise from any and all memorabilia from any series into one place.
It's the easiest place for me to sell my stuff as 'Pretty Pudgy Princess' Merch is only available for purchase online and no physical store to go to so this place was my best option to sell at.
I could sell it online and just look for buyers on EBay and the like but that could take weeks to sell all of this stuff so it's best to get it out of here all at once.
So after about half an hour of waiting while playing on my computer a knock came at my door so I answered and it was the movers, so they came in and helped carry the six boxes which they carried gently after I told them too before all of it was put in the truck and I took a ride to Akihabara with them straight to the Otaku Bizzare.
Another 30 minutes later we arrived at the store without being hindered by much traffic and had their help taking it off before they left me by the counter with the seller.
After a bit of haggling, negotiations and showing off the goods with them in mint condition and or in good quality I was surprisingly able to get it all sold for 200,000¥(1411$) which more than enough to pay for my rent for the month with a bit left over.
"HmmHmm! Now I'm all set for the month, lucky for me I have all I need to make my manga artwork with without the need to worry for this month, plus it gives me time to draw quite easily.
"That's great master! Now all we got to do is find a manga publishing company and see which one is the best choice for you, though there are those from your world in this world as well since plenty of authors just took their own publishing company's and bring them into this world like Shonen Jump while others are specifically from manga and anime alone as well." Shinigami goes onto explain to me as we begin to walk around to see Akihabara and just enjoy the sites.
"Yeah your right, but man it's a bit sad, so many maid cafes but I can't go and enjoy them…. Haaa I have to reign it in and just enjoy the sights for now." I sigh sadly as I could only look but I couldn't enjoy any of it for the time being, but I wouldn't get too depressed.
So seeing all the sights I needed to see I soon enough took a bus and headed home, and after getting back I went to my apartment and into my room as I began working on this worlds new hit manga.
"It's time the world came to know the work that invented the word for 'Food-gasm' itself! It's time to make the story of Shokugeki no Souma or to me better known as Food Wars!" I say as I peer back into my deep memories of my past life to remember how it looked, but before I started drawing it, it was best I practiced my drawing skills like the system said I should, so I started with drawing various human poses while using the internet for reference and after 15 minutes I had finished the first quest of the Artist system.

"I guess there really is a difference in store point rewards for each mission, though they don't show how much I get unless I check it, but even with over 1000pts I can't get too much stuff as of now." Most of the mundane things that anyone could get hell I can spend one shop point and get myself 10,000¥ from it, it even grantees it won't mess up the economy if I do this so that's hopeful at least.
Sure I could just get store points and get cash so I wouldn't need to work, but I want to do this, I always wanted to make manga and my body has the skills to get that done, sure it's not my own personal manga but I do have a future idea to make as my own but I want to make something that will definitely make money where as my passion project that I make on the side and if it gets popular or not doesn't matter as it's something I wanted to make but never had the skills to make it.
And the title will be Crazy Crazy Love, a story about a teenager with a very dark past who has done everything to distance himself from that past to live at least a normal Highschool life while bearing the scars of his past etched onto his body, although he comes off to others as a chunnibyou and for the most part think his mute demeanor and way his dresses and acts leans almost into the aspect of being a goth living in Japan with his depressing personality but that's the point.
You want to live a normal life? Then just leave him alone and you will survive these next three years of Highschool, if you don't and you want to know more about him and his past then be prepared to put your life on the line as that darkness always comes back to haunt him.
A Dark, Romance, Pschological, Thriller are the main themes of Crazy Crazy Love with others themes sprinkled in that can bring out the light hearted side of things to give some people hope for the characters and their lives, but when the past comes back for Iseri Shuichi, him and anyone close to him is in a for world of hurt.
(N) this is actually an Original work I've always thought of making but I don't exactly how the story should pan out so I haven't ever had the chance to genuinely make it so I'm using this story to pan out my ideas on it, and to give an image of the front cover it would be his face on one box surrounded by 8 boxes numbered 1-8 and each one theirs a shadow of a person carrying various weapons covered in blood and each holding a blood covered box and each of these shadows are clearly women and what those boxes are is each one of them has a litteral piece of him that they keep as a treasure, though there's 10 boxes with one being in the bottoms corner of the cover with it showing the main face of the heroine of the story but it's only barely in frame as she's looking up towards him showing she is interested in him but not close to him yet to know what his dark past is all about and why those 8 girls have a piece of his body for themselves.
"Now then! Let's get to work!" I shout to myself before beginning on the first three chapters of Food Wars and the first two chapters of Crazy Crazy Love!
