> 山口先生の執筆作業を中継で観たいです！

I am not sure what this sentence means, in particular 中継で観たい. I found on
dictionaries that 中継 has to do with broadcasting. Does she want the manga to
be broadcasted on TV? So, in practice, she wants it to become an anime? Thank
you for your help!




中継で is "live". The original meaning of 中継 is "relay" (i.e., passing
information to another device without modifying it), but many people
understand this word simply as "live (broadcasting)". It's very similar to
生放送, but 中継 refers to live broadcasting of something happening outside of a
studio.

In this context, this 中継 almost certainly refers to internet live streaming
(Ustream, YouTube live, etc.). Live-streaming someone drawing a picture
(usually while chatting) is popular at least among Japanese manga fans. See
[some of these

the feeling of what they look like. The object of 観たい is the mangaka's 執筆作業
(i.e., their drawing process), not their final product.
