"Never compromise with editors!"
Two high school manga artists seeking Xia Yu to serve as their culinary guide declared resolutely.
Xia Yu laughed, "Last time, your third work got delayed due to your fixation on creating a definitive culinary manga, almost causing you to miss the Tezuka Award. Fortunately, you found your way back in time and stuck to your original concept."
He looked leisurely at the two, waiting to see their reactions.
Mashiro Takumi and Takagi Shuutoku, one avoided eye contact, the other adjusted his glasses.
"Where is this sudden passion for drawing gourmet manga coming from again, and why even more fervently than before?" he wondered.
Impulses always have a reason.
The two hemmed and hawed until Mashiro Takumi took out his phone with a resigned look, pointed at the screen, showed it to Xia Yu in the kitchen, and scrolled through the content.
"Pfft!"
"Turn it off! Turn it off!"
