◆ Synopsis of 'The Part-Time Life of a Hero and a Corporate Slave'
Kuzuru, who straddles the other world and modern Japan, continues to work both as a hero and a corporate slave. Originally a lousy hero, Kuzuru has become an indispensable force in both worlds, using the patience and knowledge he gained as a corporate slave to defeat powerful monsters and monsters that infiltrate his company.



His part-time life seemed to be going smoothly, but as a result of Kuzuul's constant travels between modern-day Japan and the other world, Konam, strange things start to happen to the world, such as monsters appearing in modern-day Japan and a virus that doesn't exist in the other world becoming widespread.



In order to put an end to the strange changes in the world, Kuzuru had to overcome two challenges: defeat the Demon King and complete and release the game. However, the schedule was pushed back significantly, leaving the resources for game development completely inadequate. Furthermore, the monsters that were supposed to have been defeated were an immortal army that kept resurrecting endlessly, and Kuzuru was completely defeated.



Although Kuzuru was overwhelmed with despair, he suddenly came up with a plan to overcome his difficulties and began rigorous training.



Then, the hero Kuzuru returns to help his comrades who are in a pinch fighting an army of immortal monsters.



The days he spent with his fellow members of the hero's party. The time he spent with his colleagues at work. Bringing everything together, the final battle of the heroic corporate slave, Kuzuru, begins.

◆GSC members only bonus: Episode 10 making of
In episode 10, the true face of the 'Demon King' will be revealed, whose silhouette has been seen since the beginning but whose face has been shrouded in mystery. We will be bringing you the making of the character design of the Demon King exclusively for GSC members.

The Demon King first appears in episode 4, but is only shown as a silhouette. When he appears at the beginning of episode 7, a more detailed silhouette and facial expression are revealed, and when Kuzuru and the others arrive at the Demon King's castle in episode 8, most of his shadow is gone and his whole body is visible. Therefore, although he only makes a full appearance in episode 10, the character design itself was created a while ago and is revealed little by little.



The setting for the Demon King was that he was a very strong demon king, but looked like a young girl. Based on that, cygnusil, who is in charge of illustrations, is considering various patterns for the face and costume.



Once the color direction was solidified, we considered combining it with more detailed designs.



In the end, the following three designs were born. The main body has the appearance of a young girl, but the outfit makes the silhouette look like a large demon lord. The idea of the outfit and the cuteness of the hairstyle when seen as a silhouette created a contrast with the strength, so the second design was the one we chose.



Three-dimensional view of the adopted design.



The costume and contents are as follows:



During the design process, we also create detailed costume and item settings, as well as images of facial expressions.



If you have any other opinions or requests such as 'I would like to see this kind of making of as a GSC bonus!' or 'I'm interested in this information,' please contact us through the ' GIGAZINE Manga Award Question Form .' In addition to pre-releases exclusively for GSC, we will continue to release secret materials that reveal the behind-the-scenes information and know-how, so please continue to support us.
