[@Yankee] kazu ended up being less no-nonsense and more green as a project's lead editor, so the role is still open! i like both of your ideas lol, and either one has potential for a relationship with kazu -- either the editor is maybe like a mentor (happily or not) to her or the mangaka makes the series she edits? these are just quick thoughts that i had, obviously don't feel obligated to do any of this lol. looking forward to seeing the character!
