Full-time cartoonist - #101 - Chapter 101 Oda is really a genius

“Dad, you are back.”

Higashino Mei stroked her wrinkled skirt and said embarrassedly.

Higashino Ichiro, “Yeah.”

Higashino Hibiki said: “I worked hard today.”

He handed the figure of Sae Fujiwara made by Bandai to Mei Higashino.

Higashino Ichiro smiled and nodded.

Seeing this scene, Mei Yi grabbed the figure and wrinkled her nose in displeasure.

She was jealous and resented her father’s separate treatment.

But it’s understandable. After all, my brother is a well-earned person, far more than his father, so his family status has increased significantly in the past two years.

After thinking about the 300,000 yen in my bank card, I felt that it was a bit difficult to get rid of it, and it was not convenient to disclose it.

She lowered her head.

…

Today’s dinner was extremely sumptuous.

Maybe it was because all the children at home were back, but there were six or seven kinds of vegetables on Higashino Hibiki’s dinner plate, piled high together, which was enough for him to eat for two meals.

He looked at Mei Yi, and Mei Yi also looked at him distressedly.

But I still managed to eat it all.

“It’s delicious, burp.”

“It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten mom’s cooking, burp.”

Hibiki Higashino and Mei Higashino said.

Dong Yexi nodded with satisfaction and complained: “Who told you not to come back often?”

Higashino Hibiki’s scalp was numb and he quickly diverted the fire, “Speaking of which, Mei, what are you busy with? Why don’t you go home?”

Higashino Mei opened her eyes wide and looked at Hibiki in disbelief.

“You’re a traitor!”

Higashino Hibiki indicated with his eyes, “I’m sorry, dear sister!”

Speaking of this, Higashino didn’t complain about Higashino Hibiki, and spent all his energy on Higashino Mei, “I can understand your brother who wants to draw comics. What about you? You always don’t go home. Could it be that you have a man?” Are you friends?”

Ichiro Higashino raised his head and looked directly at Mei Higashino, deeply shocked.

Higashi Hibiki looked at her quickly, and he was also very curious about this.

The whole family stared at her closely, and Fuyuno Mei felt like a little lamb being stared at by a big bad wolf.

She hugged herself and gave her a little warmth.

Then he shook his head violently and said nonchalantly: “How can I fall in love? Boys of the same age are all childish. Sometimes I can watch the excavators working for hours. I don’t like them.”

Hibiki Higashino was puzzled, “Excavators are very interesting.”

Higashino Ichiro’s head moved slightly, using strong self-control to prevent himself from nodding.

“Don’t interrupt.” Dong Yexi scolded Dongye Xiang and continued to ask: “Then why don’t you go home more often?”

The corner of Higashino Mei’s mouth twitched and she said with a guilty conscience: “For… to study hard.”

“Tch.” Dong Yexi sneered.

“The test scores are only half of your brother’s, so you have the nerve to say study hard.”

“Really, how could mom hit me! I’m going back to my room!” Mei Higashino stood up angrily.

When she turned her back, she had a happy expression on her face.

After walking out of the living room and reaching the invisible corner of the living room, Mei patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the living room.

Dong Yexi sighed, “This kid always has something on his mind and doesn’t say it out loud.”

Higashino Hibiki comforted him: “Mei is a good child and will definitely not do bad things. She doesn’t want to say anything now, probably because she has difficulties.”

“I didn’t disclose my comic drawing in advance. We just have to wait patiently.”

“That’s all I can think of.” Dong Yexi covered his face worriedly.

The living room became quiet, and Dong Yehing got up and went to wash the dishes.

…

night.

Hibiki Higashikata sat at the table by the window, enjoying the summer night breeze.

Drawing storyboards on the side.

The stars were shining brightly in the sky, but Hibiki Higashi couldn’t look at the beautiful scenery and buried his head in front of the table.

There are many cartoonists like him.

Everyone is working hard to draw the comics within the time limit without suspending publication.

Except for a few.

After Hirohiko Araki took a bath, he drank a glass of milk and read for a while. The time came to ten o’clock.

He got up immediately, got into bed and fell into a deep sleep like a baby.

The sales of jump are getting lower and lower. From the completion of “Dragon Ball” in May to now in July, the sales volume of 6.5 million has dropped to 4.8 million.

The editors were so anxious that their mouths were full of tears. What was Togashi-san, who was regarded as the savior, doing?

“Let’s fight Dragon Quest again.”

He looked at the time and saw that it was still very early before going to bed.

Under the same sky, there are different ways of working.

If Higashino Hibiki knew, he could only be envious alone and continue to walk at his own pace.

Maybe one day, he can finish his work leisurely every day, maybe.

But now, the promising newcomer Bird Akino Mirai is still growing.

He can only use hard work and struggle to fight against his predecessors.

Just next door to him is his sister Mei’s bedroom.

Higashino Mei took out her mobile phone, which she bought specially for work.

Two months’ salary was barely enough. She thought about it for a long time and decided to buy it.

I have met several people who are engaged in the comics industry, but I have not been in contact with them recently.

She hadn’t received a job as a voice actress for a long time, and now she could only sigh in the room.

I stuck my head out and looked at the vast starry sky.

Mei Yi forgets her worries for the time being.

Looking at the waning moon in the sky, she recalled her time in the second grade of junior high school.

That is, in 1992, she saw a cartoon called “Sailor Moon” on TV.

As Tsukino Usagi transformed, the background became colorful, which made her as a child endlessly imaginative.

My eyes are really sparkling, and I look forward to the cartoons all the time.

It’s like a kid waiting for Ultraman to air.

Because of this, Tsukino Usagi’s voice actor Kotono Mitsuishi said with great enthusiasm: “The power of the moon prism, transform!”

She was so admired.

How can you make such a nice sound?

As a result, Mei also began to understand the work behind animation. What is a voice actor? How to become a voice actor?

The more I got to know him, the more he got out of hand, and his dream turned into wanting to become a voice actor.

But in this era, the animation industry is criticized.

Even the voice actors are like this.

Many people are voice actors but don’t want to talk about this profession.

If any fans say, I like your dubbing very much.

You might get a cold comment like, wow, that’s disgusting.

so.

Higashino Mei didn’t dare to tell her family.

In 1994, she suddenly heard unexpected news.

The eldest brother I like very much has become a cartoonist!

It’s still the kind serialized in Jump!

This shocked her!

After getting to know his works, it is even more unimaginable and unexpectedly interesting.

The ratings of the “Soul of Chess” cartoon reached an average of 15.7%.

When chatting with senior voice actors, they always think that it would be great if they could dub in “The Soul of the Game”.

Because “Chess Soul” will be serialized for a long time, it can be eaten for a long time.

Relying on such a brother, it is very easy to become a voice actor.

But she still wanted to rely on her own strength.

In order not to tarnish the dream.

If one day, she competes with others for the same role and hears that the position has been reserved, she will be very unwilling to do so.

This is her unspoken mental journey.

“Compared to my predecessors, I’m already much better.”

I am still in school and my home is in Tokyo, so I don’t have to worry about accommodation;

There is no pressure to survive, no need to work odd jobs in convenience stores;

There is a way out and you can easily pursue your dreams.

A shooting star streaked across the sky.

Mei Yi quickly closed her eyes, clasped her hands on her chest, and said silently in her heart.

“I hope I can voice interesting characters.” x3

The meteor flashed its last light and disappeared into the sky.

At this time, her cell phone rang.

“Mei, long time no see, I’m Asahina.”

…

The next day, Higashino Hibiki needed to return to the teachers’ dormitory to continue working.

After hugging his mother, he stood next to the taxi with a schoolbag on his back.

He looked back at Mei Yi and said, “If you need anything, just come to me.”

Yayi felt warm in her heart and nodded.

He got into the passenger seat and said, “Trouble, Dad.”

The main driver, Ichiro Higashino, nodded, released the clutch, stepped on the accelerator, and the taxi started slowly.

Higashikawa waved behind him. His home was getting smaller and smaller. He didn’t know when he would come back next time.

His nose suddenly felt uncomfortable.

“Is there toilet paper in the car?”

Hibiya Hibiki opened the passenger’s glove compartment and rummaged through it.

“Eh? What is this?”

Under the desperate eyes of Higashino Ichiro, Hibiki took out the cutout from the news newspaper.

Every report is about him.

…

In mid-July, Hibiki Higashino felt funny when he thought about what happened that day.

It turns out that there is such a delicate side behind serious people.

What’s even more interesting is that this is the first time he saw a blushing Higashino Ichiro.

“Old…teacher!” Oda walked in. He struggled to hold a machine and his face turned red.

Dong Yexiang quickly walked over and helped him put it down.

“People from the electrical company can’t even enter the dormitory,” he gasped, “I had to move in by myself.”

“After all, there are other teachers’ privacy.” Hibiki Toye looked at it curiously, “What is this thing you bought?”

“Oh, it’s a dehumidifier.” Oda replied, “Didn’t you say that the air was too humid some time ago? You were worried that it would affect the comics.”

He continued: “When I was wandering around yesterday, I saw this machine. It can pump a small basin of water in half an hour, and the air humidity can also be monitored in real time, so I bought it.”

“This is the latest high-tech product. The original price was 150,000 yen. It was discounted yesterday and only cost 80,000 yen. I bought it quickly!”

He put his hands on his hips, looking very proud.

Then he took out the bill and stretched out his other hand, wanting to be reimbursed.

Dong Yexiang listened to the chirping of cicadas and looked out the window, the air distorted by the scorching heat.

A black cat cautiously took a small step out from the shade of a tree, then immediately pulled back and let out a painful meow.

I was immediately speechless.

It’s really a speechless incident. Oda is really a genius.

“Have you never thought about why there is a discount?”
