Manga Impact
"Is this the shop called... 'Manga Jump'...?" The person that Igarashi knows as Ganyu asked.
Ganyu is a half-human and a half-Adeptus hybrid.
Ganyu is not, but looks, like a young woman. But in reality, she's over 3,000 years old.
She has pale blue hair, fading into a darker shade at the ends. Though she mostly resembles a human, she has black-red horns that bend back along with her hair, similar to how a goat's horns look, with brighter red markings on them
She wears a black bodysuit with gold accents on the legs underneath a white and purple bodice with long ends similar to a tailcoat, with a separated pair of sleeves to match. Her Cryo vision rests on her left hip with a red cloverleaf knot.
'What is she doing here?!' Igarashi internally panicked.
Ganyu works for the Liyue Qixing as a secretary, for a thousand years. She doesn't belong to any of the Liyue Qixing, but instead, works for the Liyue Qixing itself as a general secretary.
So, the only possibility Igarashi could think of is that she is sent here by the Liyue Qixing!
Igarashi calmed himself down and simply replied, "Yes, what's the matter?"
"Are you the one responsible for causing a loud commotion in this area?" Ganyu asked
"Yes... And no. I was just simply doing business." Igarashi calmly replied with a small smile
Ganyu nodded and touched her chin as if she was thinking of something. As for Igarashi, although it was rude, he was intently looking at her horns. 'They look so real... Just how is she able to fool people that they're hair accessories...?'
Though, he soon withdrew his gaze because he knows too well that Ganyu doesn't like her horns being stared at.
After about 10 minutes, Ganyu finally stepped out of her inner thoughts and spoke to Igarashi again. "Very well then..."
After that, Ganyu nodded and slowly walked away, leaving the dumbfounded Igarashi. 'Wait... That's it? No warnings for the commotion? No questioning?'
Although he found it odd that nothing strange really happened, it relieved him that it stayed to that. 'I'm just relieved that she isn't here for tax or something...'
After that, he closed the door again and rested with the bois. Though, it would soon be interrupted once more by a customer about 20 minutes later.
As for Ganyu, while walking at Chihu Rock, she suddenly stopped at her place and slightly lowered her head, hiding the slightly forming redness in her cheeks. 'He was definitely... Staring at them...'
Back when she was thinking, she actually sensed Igarashi staring at her horns. She intended to convince him that they were hair accessories but Igarashi soon withdrew his gaze that calmed her down. Out of nervousness and shyness, she stayed silent for absolutely no reason for 10 minutes.
'Does he think they're real...?' She nervously asked herself.
She then calmed herself down after a minute and continued to her destination. Trying to distract herself.

"Ah, what a bittersweet ending..." Said a young lady, eating with her friends as she holds the manga Igarashi made.
"Oh, you finally finished it? How is it?!" Asked one of her friends
"Yeah, yeah, tell us! For some reason, only you two can view the book and not us..."
"We can't blame you. Everyone else that bought this book said that they had the same reaction from their friends. Apparently, the author used some kind of mysticism on his works so that you can only see it if you bought them." Explained the other person.
"Whoa..." The rest of them were awed as they heard her.
It was not every day that you could get to see a magical item, much less possessing one! Truly, it made the girls excited.
"Hey, hey, back to the topic! How was it?!"
"Alright~ it was an amazing experience. The world background itself is confusing, but the main plot is good! Especially the author's unique storyline and taste for romance~! Kyaa! I still get shivers when I remember the romantic scenes!" Squealed the girl that was holding the manga
"Oh my..." The rest of them said
It was not only this group of young ladies having the same reaction, the rest of the people that bought Igarashi's manga were also having the same situations with their friends.
Although, it was a lot more popular with the girls. It should be noted that Liyue Harbor has many romantic novels, yet few of them actually catch the interest of these young girls, peak in their adolescence.
So of course, they loved the novel that has been talked about around Liyue Harbor as "The best Romance Novel". This title only earned itself this title about 4 hours after the rush hour at Igarashi's place.
Truly, a woman's mouth can spread information, FAST.
As for the men that bought the book, some of them actually liked it. Some even fantasized about the same situation as the main characters of switching bodies and finding their love.
Some men even started praying to the shrines of Rex Lapis in hopes that it does happen to them. The same applies to the women that are deciding whether to do the same dance Mitsuha did at her family's shrine in hopes of switching bodies.
Outside Liyue Harbor, at one of the statues of the seven, some young men that read Igarashi's manga came here and just stood there. Some were embarrassed realizing the situation.
"I-It seems like everyone else here has read 'Your Name', huh..." One of the young men started a conversation
"Y-You guys seriously believed that? Haha..." Nervously replied one of the tall young men
"No way... I'm just here because... Because... I'm praying to our lord and savior, Rex Lapis!" Added one of the young men near the Seven's statue
"Come on, man. You could've made a better excuse." Laughed another person
"T-Then why are you here?!" Snarled the young man near The Seven's statue
"I'm waiting for the love of my life." The person proudly said
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was silent. Some even understood the person and nodded their heads.
At some point, the gathering grew so big, that some brought tables and chairs as well as food and drinks until the gathering turned into a drinking party. The Millelith soon came and disturbed the Party because they were blocking the road to Liyue Harbor. Nonetheless, they just switched places to continue the party.
Some made friends during this time and some formed friend groups that understood each other. And it's all thanks to Igarashi's manga that all these loveless men got together to be friends.
As for Rex Lapis himself, he witnessed the people's strange acts and sighed in amusement.
Of course, some were not like this.
Chefs that heard of the new bizarre book containing some unknown dish bought it in hopes of trying to replicate and taste it. But alas, Xiangling already beat them to it and already recreated all of the dishes with improvised ingredients.
Some passing merchants that are traveling and leaving from and to Liyue Harbor respectively actually got hold of the books, which is what Igarashi exactly wants so that word of his manga spreads.

Of course, with all these people buying Igarashi's manga, it was natural that his system credits keep on stacking. And it's not just the system credits he was gaining, he was also gaining Mora! After the afternoon passed, he had already surpassed 1 Million Mora!
[Would you like to convert Mora to Credits?]
Out of nowhere, the system showed Igarashi a notification. As for the latter, he was counting all the Mora he got from selling his manga. "Wait, wait, what do you mean? Convert Mora to Credits?"
He then stopped counting Mora and asked the system again. "What's the connection ratio, though?"
[The conversation ratio is 10,000 Mora to One System Credits]
'10,000 Mora... If I exchange about 100,000 Mora, I'll only get 10 system credits...' Igarashi thought.
After thinking for a while, Igarashi decided to convert about 100,000 Mora. As for the other Moras, that's for his and Sasori's personal use.
'Now that 'Your Name' is getting way too popular, I guess I need to hire more people to help us make more copies of 'Your Name'...' Igarashi thought
He then made this thought as a side project that should be done sooner.
And so, Igarashi's manga frenzy will be the talk of Liyue Harbor for the next 2 days.
Which may or may not have attracted a certain Tianquan Qixing.
