Another great chapter! Excited to meet this mysterious influencer/editor/writer. The emphasis on how no one knows what they look like makes me wonder if it's someone we already know in a different context... the lady who owns the net cafe? Idk. Or there'll be something else surprising about them, maybe they're old too or really young or something.
I like leaving on this question from the former head editor. I imagine Mariko will say "the quality of the works", but the editor will say "the aura of the magazine" or something like that.
Thanks for all your work!
