The Manager Is a Gangster

0 – Prologue

I’m a gangster.

“Pl-please don’t do this… I won’t do it again…”

Crack.

“Shut up!”

“Of course, you won’t do it again. You want to keep on living, right? Isn’t that so?”

“Ugh, ugh… don’t kill me!”

A societal misfit resorting to violence to achieve their desires, no different from a beast.

“In the old days, I would have gouged out those eyes so you wouldn’t pull this kind of stunt again, but here, too much blood would spill, so…”

“Me, spill…?”

“No blood, just a little finger broken without leaving a trace.”

“Huh, what benefit?!”

Vroooom-

“Oh, a call. Hold on a moment. If even a bit of noise gets in, whether it’s cleaning up or hobbling on two feet for the rest of your life.”

“Yes, y-yes!”

But being just a gangster is not the only thing. To be precise, the essence is that of a gangster, but there’s a separate profession.

“Hello?”

[Manager, where did you go during the break? The producer is asking if we can have another appearance next week.]

“Uh, what? Really? I’ll be there in a moment! Just wait a bit!”

[Yes, hurry up.]

Bump.

Yeah, I’m an idol manager. Not just any manager, but the manager of a girl group that makes your heart flutter just by looking at them.

“Hah, I tried my best to meticulously take care of everything, but do I have to go now? Something urgent came up.”

“Well, then…”

“Forget the fingers, let’s go with the whole arm. I’ll snap it all at once.”

“Ugh?! W-What about J-Jam…”

“If you scream, you’re dead.”

Thunk!

In summary, I’m a gangster who became an idol manager.
