1 Chapter 1 - I got a new Job as an Editor?

* * * * *

Now, before I start...--I'm pretty sure many of you have wished to change the plot settings of your favorite anime/manga/light novels.

Am I right?

For example, some people hated Naruto in the beginning because of his character throughout the series. His favorite Talk-No-Jutsu employed with nearly every single enemy he faces pisses some people off, especially the parts where he somehow manages to convince them to turn good.

Lets give a few more examples.

Now, I have never really read the SAO series but I was told that in episode 24 of the anime, Asuna was nearly raped by Oberon. This actually left some readers feeling disgusted and there were a few other 'close to ****' scenes in the SAO light novel series as well.

In Boruto, people hated and still continue to actually hate the whole series. Although episode 65 of the anime, where Naruto and Sasuke combined their powers to defeat Momoshiki, was a success, it was still not enough to remove the displeasure people had in regards to the anime. Another reason for its' apparent hatred is the boring arcs that have been evident throughout the series and Boruto's character in general. Like his father, he constantly employs the Talk-No-Justu, which really irritates some people.

In Domestic Kanojo, readers did not enjoy the constant back and forth between Natsuo, Hina and Rui. Readers complained that the series was dragging too long and the introduction of certain new characters along the way only served to further deepen the irritation people have towards the manga.

Now imagine you were able to change the storyboard to your own liking. Wouldn't that be like...awesome? Well, that's the job I am currently employed to do.

The cab raced through the streets, the sounds of tires screaming.

It has been two weeks since I was notified that I had gotten the job and today was my very first day at work. The cab finally arrived at the office entrance of the building I was supposed to head to and I stepped out.

I took a deep breath, still in doubt that I had actually landed this job.

In case you have no idea what job I am currently talking about, well basically--My company is one which edits the storyboards of completed and ongoing manga/anime/light novel series produced by authors of various publication firms?

Now, you may be thinking. Why would such a company be needed? Well, that's because many publication companies wish to have a third person's perspectives on how the storyboard concept can be changed, where they will then improvise on our ideas to either come up with new stories or perhaps, alter the current one.

This has always been my dream, as I have read quite a number of anime and manga series, where I am not really pleased with the outcome of the results and the overall story-line.

I took the lift and arrived at the 15th floor of the building. Stepping out, I headed towards the entrance of the one I was looking for

Opening the glass door, I was greeted by a young man, with white ashen hair, a clean cut face, sporting a neutral attire at the front counter desk.

When the man saw me, he smiled and instantly stood up, reaching for a handshake.

"Hi! You must be one of the new editors right? Welcome! Welcome! My name is Ayato and everyone calls me Ayato here."

He just said his name twice.

"Anyways, I'm sure you are eager to get started. Our manager is not here today but he has already arranged the desk and work for you. I will bring you to your desk now."

I was then led to a far corner of the office. As I looker around, I saw many other people, currently working on their anime/manga projects.

I noticed a few common ones, such as One-Piece, Bleach and Detective Conan.

Wait, Detective Conan? I thought that story was already really good.

Finally, I arrived at my desk and saw the piles of storyboards placed neatly in the centre.

Wow, thats a lot of stories. This manager sure wants to work me hard.

Well, let's get started on the first one.

I then reached out for the first piece of paper placed on top of the pile.

The moment I saw the title, I thought--

Hou, this will be interesting.

I read the title in my mind.

Boruto: Naruto Next Generation
