Chapter 728: Intuition



The Ink Tribune Headquarters, Sakura City

Friday, March 19th, 9:30 PM

As PrimCon 35 wound down, the atmosphere inside the Ink Tribune's headquarters was just as bustling as it had been all week. Editors, reporters, and designers raced to compile their last- minute reports, eager to cover the convention's highlights for the portal's loyal fanbase. The office hummed with the sound of fingers rapidly tapping keyboards, muffled phone calls, and the occasional buzz of excitement as someone finished a piece and sent it off for editing.

For the Ink Tribune, PrimCon was one of the most important events of the year, and with good reason. The five-day convention brought together the biggest names in anime and manga, studios announcing new projects, and the most exciting cosplays that set social media abuzz. It was the one place where the industry's future was on display, and where one article could shape fan expectations for the next season's hottest shows.

Amid the controlled chaos, one reporter stood out, not because of any flamboyant actions or declarations, but because of the calm, focused demeanor she maintained. Yukari Aoki was a seasoned journalist at the Ink Tribune. She had been covering the anime and manga beat for over five years, and tonight, she had something in mind that her colleagues didn't seem to share enthusiasm for. As the chatter around her focused on the popular announcements from big-name studios like Elvish Studios, Phoenix Productions, and HardCover Publishing House, Yukari sat quietly, scribbling notes in a small notebook while sipping her third cup of coffee. Tokyo Studios wasn't the name on anyone else's lips, and why would it be? In the grand scheme of things, it was an unknown studio, a newcomer to the anime scene, and despite its grand debut at PrimCon, there wasn't much fanfare around it—at least not compared to the industry giants. But Yukari had noticed something while wandering the convention halls. Tokyo Studios had something unique in the air about it, and its debut anime, Sword Art Online, showed promise.

As her colleagues gathered around for a break, discussing their most memorable moments of the week, Yukari quietly returned to her desk. Her fellow reporters weren't interested in Tokyo Studios-they were all too busy crafting pieces on the latest announcements from studios like Midnight Phoenix and Cascade Wings. These were the juggernauts that would guarantee clicks and shares.

"Are you really going to spend your evening writing about Sword Art Online?" one of the senior reporters, Kazu, asked as he glanced over her shoulder. His voice had a hint of playful mockery in it. "Why don't you cover something big? Maybe the new Storm Riders trailer?"

Kazu passed by her desk again as she stretched. "Done with your little piece?" he teased, still grinning.

Yukari shrugged, smiling back. "You'll see," she replied confidently. "Sometimes the little things end up being the biggest stories."

Kazu rolled his eyes good-naturedly but left her alone after that. The office buzzed with life as reporters prepared to call it a night. But Yukari wasn't done. She opened up another document, this time compiling notes for future articles. She knew she wanted to keep track of Tokyo Studios' progress, and the moment Sword Art Online premiered, she'd be ready with a

follow-up.

Across the office, the others might have seen PrimCon's end as the culmination of a long week of work. But for Yukari, it was just the beginning. She had a hunch that Tokyo Studios was going to become a name everyone in the industry would know soon enough.

And when that happened, she would be the one who wrote the story that introduced them to

the world.

She didn't know yet, but her small article that she decided to write following her intuition would become a historical article when the Tokyo Studios managed to compete and win against the animation industry giants in the future.
