Iida Ayano stretched. She rarely handled new manga artists herself these days, leaving them to other editors. The only people under her care now were Mashiro and several veteran Hakusensha manga artists.
She had personally nurtured all of them, and they had all gained decent reputations. They were close as well, so it was impossible for her to stop managing them entirely.

Iida Ayano did not seem to believe her, because every manga artist she had managed had said the same
