* {{Ghostwriter}}: [[spoiler:Toru Nanamine]] reveals that he's not writing by himself, but has an online group of select 50 fans, which includes alleged veterans, who write for him, while he acts as a director. He plans to make a point that Jump's editors are incompetent while making minimum effort himself. While his first two chapters recieve a lot of praise, from there on it gets too inconsistent and the rankings sink to the bottom, while his narcissism and lack of direction make all of his assistants leave. He later establishes [[spoiler:Shinjitsu Corporation, a multi-staged corporate pipeline that writes a higher quality manga on demand, but his personal involvement undermines the legitimate methods it could have run with]].

So he can focus on his next piece that will become the best printed series ''globally''.]]

** Once he proves Shinjitsu Corporation is effective, he throws his current authors under the bus and takes creative control, so he can make something that can personally compete with Ashirogi Muto. Even with already favorable conditions that he'll be accepted if he gets in top 3, he disregards Kosugi's feedback and decides to aim for number 1. This [[HoistByHisOwnPetard bites him back in so many ways]].

* FriendlessBackground: He used to have no friends in school until [[spoiler:he literally bought them over, inspired by ''Money and Intelligence'']].



* HateSink: As the closest thing to an antagonist, he comes off as a character who's meant to be despised, especially when he starts using others as a means to an end. As a manga about manga writers, most of the drama in the series comes from serialization races between [[FriendlyRivalry friendly rivals]], so there isn't a lot of serious conflict. Even Iwase's WomanScorned is more her being confused about her feelings and she gets calmer over time. Nanamine reveals under the mask to be a cold schemer who intends to ruin Jump's reputation with his team of ghostwriters, and [[SmugSnake gloats]] to his idols Ashirogi Muto about his future successes. When he doesn't succeed, he insults everyone but himself, and even tries to ask his editor to ''steal'' the manuscripts from Ashirogi so he can accuse them of plagiarism. While [[FatBastard Nakai]], who he [[TheBusCameBack brings from a bus]], eventually goes through HeelRealization, Nanamine instead thinks he needs to go ''harder'' with his unethical methods and becomes unhinged.

This represents the path they could have taken if they were pandering to fan mail. As a result, his manga's pilot is considered amazing, but surprizingly soulless, while the other chapters turned to be a mess. He even challenges them to write the same chapter premise while he gets he takes more control over his co-writers, but his ratings still remain at the bottom.

Per TRS, removing Doing It For The Art misuse and ZCEs


* DoingItForTheArt (InUniverse): Or fun in his case; it's why he offered to work for Ashirogi Muto for free until they get another series.

Does Not Like Shoes has been renamed and redefined to focus on characters that explicitly or implicitly state a preference for going barefoot. Removing misuse


* DoesNotLikeShoes: A variation, as he's shown to prefer loose-fitting shoes when he enters Tokyo, and at least, hastily throws on a pair of sandals when he needs to make a trip to the office of Shonen Jump/ Jack. He much prefers to just wear socks, fitting in with his Cloudcuckoolander personality.
