Literature girls are strong.
All these year of I spend to train my body.... I should have read books instead.

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@BlackGeneral: Well, you read manga. I'm sure that's just as good.
Meanwhile, this is terrible and scandalous and awful and the publishers can add a zero to the end of her estimated sales figures . . .

 

[Deoxyribo9]

That's hibki for you.

 

[77BLc9JwJGpLVARkamJx]

I wonder if we are getting plot armor super genius untouchable hibiki, only there to awe other writer to write better route or we are getting the isolated writer finally behaving normal enough route. Her works probably going to sell a lot but then the industry could put her on ignore list or blacklist.
@BlackGeneral
While youre pumping irons, I was writing my masterpiece.
Heheh.

 

[Kisato]

There's the Hibiki we know!

 

[Equilibrium]

New Mortal Kombat, Japan edition.

 

[Panino]

...ah fuck it. I was writing some things but why bother? What a fucking ride!

@Purplelibraryguy
ARE YOU INSANE?!
Now it'll sell even more.

 

[schuyguy]

@Purplelibraryguy

Yup. Nothing sells like controversy. All they need now is a court case for assault, and she'll be the best-selling author of the decade.

 

[LysandersTreason]

but because of lawsuits, all the money from the books will go to the lawyers and the journalists

 

[Panino]

But there's the money from the movie and the anime and the manga, etc.

@Tcof

I knew I forgot something in my list from c41...

No throwing microphones at the reporters.
Drop the mic

Or audience members in general.

I’m honestly waiting for when it comes time for her to give her first interview and photo shoot sans the disguise. Wanna take bets she might end up with a choice between reporter/photographer that got her at school that she followed home, and that guy that tried to take her hood off.../kicked his camera?

I can see her taking the reporter she followed home.. at least HE came to an understanding with her...

 

[irrelevance90]

If the editor and publisher play their card right, they can make her the best selling author in the decade.

 

[Tcof]

"I like you novel, sake my hand" that cute. i fall in love

 

[Purplelibraryguy]

@Panino: I think we are in agreement; I said "add a zero to the end", as in if it was going to be 500,000 they can now expect 5,000,000.
@Tcof: Yeah, that was cute. It's nice to see her actually like someone's stuff.

 

[Panino]

@Purplelibraryguy
My mistake!

We are all talking about the scandal and neglecting all the cute things that happened in this chapter.
It was so good seeing Hibiki acknowledging Hana's mother and Fumi understanding that Hibiki was supporting her in her own way.

 

[Lithe]

Lol "being nasty" when that's a perfectly reasonable question to ask.

The main characters are amazing and trash at the same time, certainly an interesting combination.

And once again, I'm sure the perfection of her novel will somehow absolve her of any real consequence. It's quite amazing how often this plays out like cliche shounen.

 

[Panino]

@Lithe
And what would be the consequences?
Imagine Hibiki punished.
Imagine Hibiki on juvenile detention.
This is what I imagine:

 

[Lithe]

Probably just more negative media attention, which in turn usually snowballs leading to other funny drama. It tends to impact those around Hibiki more than the character themselves, and by proxy that's where the drama comes from.

But things will of course be completely normal the very next day as everything is perfect when people bow down to the best writer in the history of the universe.

 

[AndyChang]

Hibiki is actually the best.
