In addition, the composition shows two boys visible behind the straps, giving a sense of the artist’s intention to create a screen within the narrow setting of a train. This work is a short comic with a focus on fetishism, but we look forward to seeing what ideas you come up with when you turn your attention to serialization, as well as researching your designs and brushing up your drawing skills.

It was an ambitious work by the person who submitted it, who was only 16 years old. The editor in charge of the manga artist who is too kind and always runs out of money as an assistant, who passionately loves girls’ manga. I could feel the sense of “creating characters” with the unique characters. On the other hand, many episodes were limited to character introductions, so try focusing on the structure of how the story unfolds through the characters’ actions. We look forward to further improvement.

By setting the setting in an era where war is justified, the theme of money is “something whose value changes depending on the person,” but “something that is necessary for both genius swordsmen and heroes,” and depicts the range of fluctuations in the job of a moneylender. It has been elevated to a promising profession. I think it would be even more persuasive and deep if there was a depiction of what this job is like in this day and age, where someone other than the main character is evaluating it. I’d like to see the story of how Shirayuki became the owner of a money exchange shop, as well as the tough discussions with the fox-hunting squad about borrowing and lending.
