Chapter 123: Izumi-sensei?!?!
Chapter 123: Izumi-sensei?!?!
Chapter 123 - 123: Izumi-sensei?!?!Kaguya snatched the phone and stared wide-eyed at Haruto on the screen. Then, she turned to Hayasaka in confusion.
However, Hayasaka was equally shocked, her face blank. Since when did that scoundrel start filming a dating show?
"Huh!? So Haruto-kun is also a celebrity? A star!? Let me look him up!"
Chika's curiosity was instantly ignited.
This was the guy Kaguya wanted to pursue. And now he was on a dating show. This was just... too interesting!
However, after a quick
If there was one manga series that was currently the most popular, not just in Japan but across the entire anime community, it was Attack on Titan. And its author, Izumi-sensei, was a mysterious figure whom readers both loved and hated.
Loved, because he had created Attack on Titan, allowing everyone to enjoy such an incredible manga.
Hated, because the guy kept taking breaks, saying things like "Going out for research, taking a break, mwah!"
Now, people were actually planning to track down the livestream location and meet Haruto in person.
On screen, the guests were stunned for a long time before finally coming to their senses.
"You're Izumi-sensei?"
One person asked, their voice trembling, using an honorific.
Haruto waved his hand.
"My pen name is Izumi, but I'm not really a 'sensei.' Just a hobbyist who likes drawing manga."
Everyone felt suffocated.
If Izumi-sensei, who had debuted at the peak with Attack on Titan and locked in the Rookie of the Year title in just one month, didn't qualify as a "sensei," then everyone in the manga industry might as well switch careers.
You've truly mastered the art of humblebragging.
Meanwhile, the director, watching the skyrocketing popularity, was over the moon.
Countless people were flooding into the livestream, whether to pay homage to the top-scoring genius or to catch a glimpse of Izumi-sensei.
Either way, the hype was all about Haruto.
This wasn't a dating show anymore, it was purely Haruto's solo performance.
But with popularity like this, who cared about romance?
The director just wanted to say: Please keep showing off! Don't stop!
Mai looked at Haruto, feeling like she had never met anyone like him. Unable to hold back, she asked curiously,
"Then, Haruto-kun, why did you come to this dating show?"
This was also on everyone's mind.
This guy, academically, could choose any high-ranking position in the Four Great Zaibatsu after graduation.
In terms of achievements, he was the Rookie King of the anime world. Who hadn't heard of Izumi?
As for money...
The peanuts this dating show paid probably weren't even enough for Haruto to draw one Chapter of his manga.
Haruto, however, looked at Mai and smiled.
"I came here for someone."
The room fell silent.
This was a story!
The other guests all looked at Mai with envy.
The comments exploded.
'Wow! What kind of light novel plot is this!?'
'I'm shipping them so hard! Izumi-sensei is too smooth!'
'Izumi-sensei's eyes have been on Mai since he sat down. So sweet!'
Mai blinked in disbelief.
"You came here for someone?"
From the moment Haruto had entered, his gaze had been on her, and she had felt it.
But for her? Why?
Meanwhile, Hikaru was seething.
He was certain that the person Haruto had come for was him. Just then, the door to the studio burst open.
A figure rushed in, a gleaming knife in hand, lunging toward the guests.
The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, including the staff.
The livestream was still running, and viewers watched as the figure charged into the frame, attempting to attack.
A glint of mischief flashed in Haruto's eyes. He reached out, pulling Mai into his arms and shielding her as he moved aside.
At the same time, he grabbed the others nearby, pulling them out of harm's way.
In the chaos, the guests managed to retreat thanks to Haruto.
Only Hikaru, sitting across from Haruto and farthest away, was left unprotected.
The figure, clutching the knife, lunged at him.
"Kamiki Hikaru! I'll kill you!"
The figure screamed hysterically.
