Original title: So I Gave Up on This Manga
He's the upright bespectacled guy with a cheat-level talent for snark;
He's the chaotic young nobleman, forever fretting over the nation and its people;
He's the delusional daydreamer and good-hearted merchant;
He's the naturally curly-haired samurai with sweetness to spare;
He's Takasugi, the chuunibyou whose dream of destroying the world was cut short, now back to reclaim everything...
Wait, you mean me?
I'm just an anime fan with beauty, brains, and strength, who loves hot-blooded pretty boys.

Zhu Ying is a messenger of the underworld who can stay home and read hot-blooded manga all 365 days of the year.
One day, she discovers that her favorite anime character from before she transmigrated has somehow wandered into the underworld, and she's tasked with sending him back to the world of the living.
She fails to get him back, and even her underworld identification card goes missing.
She tries to work hard and turn things around, only to discover she's lost all her powers. Ghosts pin her to the ground and beat her senseless, while the male lead, Takasugi Shinsuke, makes a dazzling entrance and effortlessly takes on ten of them at once.
Zhu Ying: ?
Reunited with an old friend, Zhu Ying is on the verge of tears. She starts to pour out her heartfelt words.
Takasugi Shinsuke: Who are you?
Zhu Ying: You're really handsome, but the amnesia trope is so out of date!!
Edo has been in a terrible state lately, because countless boys and girls, middle-aged women, and old men have all become obsessed with one man!
They say he has lots of names: Ata... Aka... Asu... Aji... Aishi... Suke... Takasugi...
The rumors about this man never stop, and for Zhu Ying, neither do the troubles.
A respected underworld messenger, reduced to wandering the living world with no place to call home and working all sorts of odd jobs. And every time she's fired, it's for the same reason:
Zhu Ying: I really just happened to be there. When someone gets stabbed, they die. Please accept my condolences!
Everyone: Yeah, right.
Zhu Ying (pointing at Takasugi Shinsuke beside her): There's a handsome ghost right here. Can't you see him?
Takasugi is flawless, perfect, and beyond reproach, but whenever he runs into old classmates, he activates his escape-and-disguise skills!
Zhu Ying: I'm someone who repays kindness. Help me get my ID card back and restore my powers as an underworld messenger, and I'll help you find your old friends. Then you'll have a home too~
Takasugi Shinsuke: Don't come any closer!!

I spent my whole life and all my dignity wishing that Gintama would never end, and now that it's over, I think I should do something about it (seriously).
What is a hot-blooded manga, anyway?
I want to write a story about Gintama, but also about more than Gintama.
※
Zhu Ying: I'm exhausted every day. I've only been in the living world for two days, and I've already worked five jobs. Who's doing all the underworld messenger work and leaving me with nothing to do?!!
Takasugi Shinsuke's daily routine: Catch ghosts, lose his memory, run into that woman, get possessed by Detective X South, lose his memory, and discover a hundred ways to die when meeting old friends.

That's it! If the main plot is not completed, I will split 2333. I really can't bear to see them get stabbed again. Gintama is really a magical show... Obviously I watched One Piece, JOJO and EVA first, but now when I see Zoro, I will think of Hijikata with joy (?) When I see Erqiao, I will be happy and think of Gintoki (?) When I see Nagisa Kaoru, I will burst into laughter and think of Shila (Hey!)
Byakuya's hairstyle is so trendy hahaha
Hhhhh Everyone is so cute, I was so moved to see everyone having so much fun (tears) By the way, to catch a bug for my wife, it should be the real Sengumi and not the Shinsengumi.
Hhhhh I'm already looking forward to the follow-up www. I can imagine a bunch of people surrounding Takasugi (music)
Hhhhh Thirteen advantages! Our Zhuyingying is the merit itself (乐) Zhuyingying is cute, pat ~
Great update! Takasugi plotting against Gui is so funny, if you don't hurt each other for a day, you'll feel like you're going to be OOC, right (laughs)
Takasugi's mentality is very peaceful now.
Hahahaha, it's okay to just make a new one without repairing it. It's fun. Chasing Fireflies: Sakata Kintoki. Katsura: It's not Kintoki Sakata, it's Katsura! (Trigger passive)
That's enough... I'm ready to impress you, kid... Okay, this is really Gintama, and only Gintama can play like this (sigh)
Smith Marseille ah ah ah ah they are brother and sister!!! (Sliding and kneeling) I'm so sorry for saying it too early (Walling) It's a touching brother-sister relationship. It turns out that Aso died suddenly (Sorry) I wish you happiness in the next life.
