"Alright, forget it! I don't want to waste time with you!" said Kosuke with a serious tone. "With our distribution channels, it can be released this weekend. I'm asking for your opinion now. Do you think it's too early?"
Homura thought for a moment. It was Wednesday today, so that would be...
"I don't think it's too early, is it? Also, just to confirm, you're not planning for Manke Bunko to be the one who sells it, right?" This was an important question.
"Of course not! Why? Do you want..."
Homura snapped his fingers. "Exactly! I want Manke Bunko to be the one!"
"That's a good idea. It can naturally have some promotional effect. But, that alone is not enough, right?"
"You know about our top players in Another Dimension, right?" Homura didn't answer but instead asked this question.
"I know, and I was also curious. How did you manage to bring together so many celebrities? What's more, they're all beautiful girls! What's your secret for them to join you?" Kosuke's voice was full of playfulness. "Could it be.... by using the allure of handsome man and seduce them?"
Homura's forehead dripped with cold sweat. "Of course, it's because my works attracted them! Didn't you think so too?"
Kosuke: "..."
Surprisingly, that does make sense! Except for the fact that all of the creators except for him alone are girls, 'Your Name.' can totally attract some well-known authors and artists!
"... Let's talk about your ideas."
Homura breathed a sigh of relief. "It's actually quite simple, online promotion! In this era, we few creators just need to make a blog post, and with the help of fans sharing it, two days are enough!"
Kosuke pondered for a long time. "Okay, let's go with what you said this time! The release time will be set with the weekly magazine. I'll instruct them to start burning the game discs now! Also, the promotion stuff is up to you! Don't come crying to me if it doesn't sell well!" Kosuke hung up the phone after saying that.
Homura had a black line all over his face. Who would come crying to you?! Besides, what the hell doesn't sell well? No way right?
Putting down his phone, he directly uploaded the cover. How can the game be played without a package?
After some consideration, 'I was originally planning to use some of my manga royalty, but forget it! I'll just deduct it from the income from selling the game!
"How is it? How is it?"
All the women couldn't wait to ask.
"Saturday." Homura didn't beat around the bush. At this time, teasing them would probably result in being beaten up.
"So fast?!" This was Nanami's pleasantly surprised voice.
"So... fast?" These were Utaha, Eriri, and Elf's hesitant words.
"Um?" These were the confused voices of Mashiro, Megumi, and Sagiri.
"Homura, what do you think?" Eriri asked.
He waved his hand to indicate that they shouldn't be in a hurry, then he expressed his own thoughts. "If it was an ordinary circle, releasing it so fast would be suicide!"
"But... we're different! You all heard what I just said to my dad on the phone, right?" Homura looked at Utaha, Eriri, Elf, and Mashiro.
Elf reacted the fastest, "You mean the online promotion you mentioned when you were on the phone? Using our popularity?"
Utaha and Eriri nodded, and Mashiro directly took out her phone and made the others stunned!
Homura quickly stopped her, "Mashiro, don't rush! We need to promote it together at the same time, only then can we maximize the impact!"
Then he remembered something, "Come to think of it, I haven't been using my blog since I started drawing manga!"
After a little tinkering, he changed his nickname to Minamiya.
He looked up at the girls and said, "Now, ladies, please mention me with @Minamiya on your blogs. This is equivalent to verification of my identity!"
Not long after...
Kasumi Utako: @Minamiya, this is Minamiya-sensei! What? Which Minamiya-sensei you ask? Yes, the most famous Minamiya-sensei recently! Friends who haven't found his blog yet, hurry up and follow him!
1st comment: "First comment!"
2nd comment: "Oh~! It's been a long time since Kasumi Utako wrote a blog!"
5th comment: "Wait, Minamiya-sensei?"
9th comment: "Why does Kasumi Utako-sensei know Minamiya-sensei's blog?! What is your relationship?!"
15th comment: "Oh! My goodness! I just broke up!!"
===
912th comment: "Wait a minute! The next-door sensei, Kashiwagi Eri, also posted a blog similar to this one!"
916th comment: "What's going on? What actually happened?!!!"
947th comment: "Hey, comrades! Yamada Elf also posted a similar blog!"
950th comment: "I smell something big happening! A major event!"
1001st comment: "... Ah, did I just read it wrong? Shiina Mashiro also posted the same blog???"
1038th comment: "By the way, were they hacked collectively? Why did suddenly everyone mention Minamiya-sensei?!"
1068th comment: "Hurry up! The real protagonist is speaking! @Minamiya"
===
"My goodness, the impact of all of you speaking at the same time is insane, you probably don't even realize it yourselves!" Homura was startled, it was too crazy!
The others were all confused, and only Elf smirked smugly, "It's still okay! Because I'm usually more active and interact with my servants more!"
Homura was helpless, "Still treating the fans as servants, huh..."
Elf didn't care at all and said nonchalantly, "Being treated as this lady servant is such a glorious thing!"
Eriri didn't want to hear about servants anymore, she immediately asked him directly, "What did you post?"
Homura was puzzled, "Didn't you see it? I just posted the link to our circle!"
Everyone was shocked, and even Megumi couldn't help but comment, "Your fans will be shocked today, and they might even question their lives."
Indeed, the internet had become lively...
===
"My goodness! How did such a big event happen without anyone noticing?!"
"It seems like there will be a big earthquake in the industry after all!"
"What the heck? Did Eromanga-sensei join without saying anything too?"
"Yeah, no one could have imagined that these people would form a circle!"
"[Script and Scenario: Kasumi Utako and Yamada Elf] [Original Art and Character Design: Kashiwagi Eri, Shiina Mashiro, and Eromanga] [Voice Over: Aoyama Nanami] [Game Codes and Programs: Kato Megumi]."
"I'm telling you, did you forget someone?"
"Is it this one? [All-Rounder: Minamiya]"
"WTF! What in God's name is All-Rounder?!"
"The literal meaning! Planning, Directing, Script, Scenario, Original Art, Character Design, Game Codes, Programs, Voice Over, Music... AAAHHH!!! I'm going crazy! Is Minamiya-sensei really such a perverted person?!"
===
Seeing this, Eriri burst out laughing again.
"See! The whole internet recognizes your perversion now!"
Homura had already gotten used to those two words, what he was now annoyed about was...
"I clearly put the mascot at the top! Why hasn't anyone mentioned it at all?!" He stood up for the little one, Haru!
Girls: "..."
