Is this mangaka crazy?

"Kiko, any progress?"

Maine wasn't faking seriousness in front of Kiko.

Kenji Tanaka and other manga fans also know that older brother Maine gets serious when facing serious matters.

He can be said to be very professional.

One second, he was still asking about the matter between David and Lucy with an indifferent face.

The next second, he became serious.

Kiko sat next to David with a tablet, smoking and talking about things.

"Absolutely not."

"Since the last incident, Tanaka has strengthened his defenses."

"If you want to find out, there's no way," Kiko said lightly.

"Didn't I say it? Faraday didn't give us any information and we can't find anything," Maine also said with distress.

"Tanaka?"

David was stunned for a moment.

Because he remembered that the rich second-generation classmate who had been beaten by him with Sandevistan was also named Tanaka.

Maine thought David was stunned because he didn't know who Tanaka was, so he started explaining that Tanaka was the owner of the luxury car David stole when he joined the gang to complete a mission.

At that moment, Kiko also discovered that David and Tanaka's son were classmates.

"What? This kid is an Arasaka Academy student and also a classmate of Tanaka's son, an Arasaka senior?"

"He has excellent grades, but he voluntarily dropped out of the academy."

"I'm very surprised."

"No wonder Gloria kept asking me for money; it turns out she's paying your son's tuition."

As they spoke, David's dark past was completely revealed.

David was speechless: "Don't keep investigating others' dark pasts, okay?"

At that moment, Kiko suddenly said: "I also dug up Tanaka's private files, but they are useless junk."

"For example?" Maine asked.

"There's a Black Super Dream in his viewing history."

"Alright, we can use that."

Then David discovered that Tanaka also watched the "Edgerunners" series by Black Super Dream, from famous producer Yoshiguro, and he gave Maine and the others some useful information.

"His Black Super Dream is completely customized. I heard he can also customize it for VIP users, like removing the pain limit."

"So what?"

"If you want to customize Black Super Dream, Tanaka himself must be there."

"And it's probably a one-on-one meeting."

So, based on the information provided by David, Maine's team formulated a plan of action.

First, they prepared an ambush at the place where Jimmy Kurosaki would appear.

Then David appeared and pretended to be a fan so that Jimmy Kurosaki would walk into the ambush.

Finally, Maine and the others appeared, kidnapped Jimmy Kurosaki, and threatened him, taking the opportunity to trick Tanaka and then tie him up.

Then Kiko delved into Tanaka's brain network to find the necessary intelligence information.

The plan was formulated, and the action began immediately.

However, although everything was planned from the beginning,

when it was about to begin and succeed, Jimmy Kurosaki attacked Maine, David, and Kiko's systems.

In an instant, Maine and David's nervous systems were paralyzed, and they fell into a coma on the spot.

Although Kiko was not unconscious, she began to vomit and completely lost the ability to move.

Taking the opportunity, Jimmy Kurosaki drove away in a luxury car.

Lucy, who was ambushed outside, realized something was wrong and returned to find David and Maine.

Finally, Lucy, Dolio, and the others discovered that David had been captured by Jimmy Kurosaki.

"End of this episode."

Kenji Tanaka, obviously, was a little dissatisfied after seeing this plot.

The plot of this new episode is a bit bland, which is normal.

Except for the fact that David and Lucy are at the base, the rest of the episodes are quite bland.

It's not as impressive as the first two episodes, one about Pira's sudden death and the other about David and Lucy kissing under the moon.

However, a manga cannot always be at its climax.

There will always be bland parts, and then a gradual transition to the exciting and important plot.

And the plot of threatening Jimmy Kurosaki and then trapping Tanaka in this episode is just the beginning.

Kenji Tanaka can only wait for "Edgerunners" to be serialized next week.

But it doesn't matter, after all, "Edgerunners" is now a weekly serialization.

The serialization pace is four episodes a month, which is truly exciting!

I hope "Edgerunners" is always a weekly serialization and doesn't go back to the bi-weekly serialization era!

Thinking about this, Kenji Tanaka quickly went to the official website and started voting for "Edgerunners".

He forgot that he had a bad premonition.

On the other hand, Hyperion Game Development.

Haruto Yamamoto was a little stunned after reading the latest installment of "Edgerunners".

He also saw the plot where Maine joked with David, telling him he would give him his prosthetic if he died.

In the previous manga company, when he met Ren Amamiya, the author of "Edgerunners",

Haruto Yamamoto, who received the exact news that only Lucy and the driver Falco survived in "Edgerunners", did not think it was an invalid plot.

This is definitely a foreshadowing, a warning sign!

"Next... Will Maine die?" Haruto Yamamoto asked, a little uncomfortable.

To be honest, Maine is a good older brother.

He is experienced, human, powerful, and mature.

He usually jokes around with one and seems frivolous.

But when it comes to serious matters, he demonstrates his great ability and is extremely reliable.

He will also point the way and give clues when David is confused.

Such a great older brother is really cool.

Knowing that Maine will die in the next plot, to be honest, he feels like giving up manga.

But he still decided to keep reading.

That is the charm of "Edgerunners".

Even before, many people said that "Edgerunners" was a tragedy.

You will feel uncomfortable for several days after watching it.

Even Ren Amamiya's previous life's "Edgerunners" released ten episodes at once.

You have every chance to regret and abandon "Edgerunners".

But there are still many people who can't help but want to watch this manga that makes people uncomfortable for several days.

Haruto Yamamoto is the same. He knew from Ren Amamiya beforehand that this manga would kill people.

Only two people would be left, and even the male protagonist would die.

But he just wants to watch it.

Look, he bought a magazine with a new episode of "Edgerunners".

However, he still maintained some ethics and did not tell the members of the sci-fi lovers group what Ren Amamiya said.

Besides worrying that his words would affect the popularity of "Edgerunners", he also had the idea of "depressing the world".

When the group members saw the ending and knew that even the male protagonist, David, died in "Edgerunners", would they have some peace?

That would be very interesting...

Haruto Yamamoto couldn't help but smile wryly.
