Full-time cartoonist - #105 - Chapter 104

No one knows the direction of Togashi Yoshihiro’s story.

Hibiki Higashino is looking forward to the second episode very much.

In the first episode, a baseball player named Tsutsui came from Tokyo to study abroad.

Baseball is very popular here, and both taxi drivers and dormitory administrators are very enthusiastic about him.

This made Tsutsui feel at home, and indeed it was a very right choice to study abroad and leave Tokyo.

In the dormitory, he found an outsider wearing his own clothes.

He is very handsome, but has a very bad personality.

The other party said that he was an alien who crashed on the earth.

Tsutsui pointed at him and asked the other party to produce evidence.

Unexpectedly, he put his index finger and Tsutsui’s index finger together and played the classic E.T., which made Tsutsui very angry.

Sometimes the other person is serious and sometimes bad.

This made the straight-tempered Tsutsui very helpless and was played around with applause.

Tsutsui’s mood was like a kaleidoscope, despair, hope, pain, rage… constantly changing.

“Hahaha,” Akimiya Akemi burst out laughing, “Teacher Togashi’s new work is so interesting!”

Dong Yexiang nodded: “One ring after another, keep reversing!”

That handsome alien looks very ungrateful, but he occasionally reveals his ability to penetrate people’s hearts.

is a very complex protagonist.

However, it only took one episode to establish the character of the protagonist. Really awesome.

At the end of the comic, there is a hook. Someone from the Hunan Police Department came to investigate. The person behind it wanted to plot against the aliens in the Tsutsui family and launched an operation.

This makes Hibiki Hibiki look forward to the manga update even more.

The background setting is amazing, the protagonist’s character is amazing, the story direction is amazing, it’s simply invincible.

However, Hibiki Higashino couldn’t help but become curious when he looked at the parrot that often appeared in the comics, from Tsutsui’s high-speed train, to taking a taxi, and then to the apartment. “What does this parrot do? A mascot?”

…

The next day, Higashikata went to school.

When he came to the art classroom, he was very surprised. The classmates were holding jumps and discussing.

And it’s all about one of the comics – “Level E”.

“What an interesting comic,” said a female classmate, “and the drawing is very good. Look here, after the alien rescued the cat and was hit by a car, when he recovered, even the trees grew leaves and blossoms. This scene is so beautifully drawn.”

“There must be no problem like this, and the jump can be recovered!” Another male classmate was very excited.

He is a loyal reader of Jump, and when he heard about the decline in sales, he felt even more uncomfortable than Hibiki Higashino.

“As expected of the Great Master Togashi, I will definitely vote for him!”

“I’m really looking forward to the future content. What kind of battle system will there be?”

“What will an alien planet look like? It feels like you will have adventures on planets with different characteristics.”

“What aliens will Mr. Togashi create? Will there be Namekians? Haha, just kidding.”

Higashikata looked at them, discussing very intensely, and couldn’t help being stunned for a moment.

The influence is really astonishing. Apart from Akira Toriyama, it’s Togashi, right?

“This work will surpass “Yu Yu Hakusho”!”

When Higashino Hibiki heard someone say this, he turned around and saw that it was the art teacher Matsushita.

Higashikata hurriedly said hello, “Teacher, good morning.”

“Well, good morning,” Matsushita nodded, not caring that class was about to start, but started chatting with Hibiki Hibiki.

“Tori Akino-kun, do you think so too? “Level E” will surpass “Yu Yu Hakusho”.”

Hibiki thought for a while and replied: “Although there is only one episode, it is very exciting. The huge world view, the distinctive characters, the compact and bizarre plot, and the essential funny elements. These all fully illustrate that, The excellence of this work.”

Panasonic kept nodding, he thought so too.

“But…” Hibiki Higashino said: “The author is Mr. Yoshihiro Togashi. I can’t imagine the future direction of the plot. It’s hard to say what it will be like.”

“Well,” Matsushita nodded, “you are more rigorous.”

He walked towards the desk and said, “Class has started.”

Higashikata quickly returned to his seat.

…

News about Togashi’s new work instantly detonated the whole of Japan.

The popularity of “Soul of Chess” was even more amazing than before.

Even if there is no Twitter now, there has been a huge wave of discussion through word of mouth.

People are marveling at Yoshihiro Togashi’s talent and his endless reverie for new works.

Nobuhiko Horie discovered that the sales volume that had been declining since the serialization of “Level E” finally stopped and was even on the rise.

“It’s so powerful, Mr. Togashi!” He couldn’t help but praise.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

“Sasaki, please pay more attention to Togashi during this period and don’t let him cause trouble.” Horie Nobuhiko asked.

He taught earnestly, “The ones you are responsible for, Nobuhiro Wazuki and Mirai Tori Akino, have been serializing for more than a year and do not need more attention. You must use all your energy on Togashi.”

Sasaki nodded to express his understanding.

…

On Friday, Hibiki Higashino received the news.

“Level E” is indeed Xiao Zheng’s first, and it is the first without any suspense.

It was 88 votes higher than the second place “Rurouni Kenshin”.

“Soul of Chess” ranked fourth, below “The Arrival of the Holy Son”.

The “Soul of Chess” serialization during this period seemed a bit dull after the climax of the plot in May.

Hikari showed off his talents as a professional shogi player and almost defeated Kurata’s 6th dan, who was strong in chess and had titles of “Juth Dan” and “Honinbo”.

In this game, Shindo Hikaru’s current strength was fully demonstrated.

A chess player who is stronger than Kurata 6th Dan will also consider Xiaoguang a strong opponent.

In a close match, due to Xiaoguang’s carelessness, one move was missed, and Kurata 6th Dan had the idea of ​​”being saved”.

This shows that the little light has grown up now. He is like a candle in the dark, glowing and showing his existence.

“Isn’t it as good as Taya Ryo?” Readers of “Chess Soul” can’t help but think when they see this.

Xiaoguang is really too powerful now.

Fujiwara Sawei polished him into a diamond and into a new star in Go.

In the subsequent Otate match, Shindo Hikaru easily defeated the third-round player in the second round.

He has become more mature, calmly dealing with the enemy’s fierce offensive, not only attacking and defending properly, but also able to launch a counterattack.

Zuo Wei understands that Xiaoguang has taken the first step towards “God’s Hand”.

He understood the mission God had given him, but he wanted to resist.

“In the end, the person who can truly pursue the realm of “God’s Hand” is Xiaoguang, not myself. “

In the evening, Shindo Hikaru plays against Zuo Wei. He is now very strong, but he is still not Zuo Wei’s opponent.

When he made a wrong move, Zuo Wei scolded him excitedly.

Then Zuo Wei cried with tears in his eyes.

“Obviously Xiaoguang, you can’t beat me at all!”

This sentence made Shindo Hikaru very dissatisfied. He also knew that he was not as good as Sawei, so there was no point in speaking out.

“What did you say?”

Zuo Wei’s voice became louder, “Obviously Xiaoguang, you can’t beat me at all!”

“I want to play more chess!”

“That’s right, Xiaoguang, you can’t beat me at all!”

“I want eternity!”

Shindo Hikaru, who was still a child, could not understand Fujiwara Sawei’s delicate mood.

Zuo Wei didn’t confide in him either.

The story continues like this, slowly sliding into the abyss.

…

Odagiri looked at the latest story, and his inner fear became more and more intense.

He is really worried that if the comic continues to develop like this, Zuo Wei will disappear.

Regarding “Soul of the Game”, besides the protagonist Hikari Shindo, his favorite person is Sawei.

He has strong chess skills, is cute and simple, and has clear goals. When playing chess, it seems that there is a different person, serious like a general on the battlefield.

Moreover, he pinned his feelings for “Higashino Hibiki” on Sawei.

“Xiaoguang, please pay attention!”

He looked at the comics and couldn’t help but make a sound!

“Zuowei is about to disappear. What are you doing? Why don’t you play chess with him? If you don’t want to play, let me play!”

The plot of the comic is getting closer and closer to tragedy.

The warehouse of Xiaoguang’s grandfather’s house was stolen, but the chessboard that witnessed the past of Zuowei and Torajiro was also inside.

So Xiaoguang took Zuo Wei to his grandfather’s warehouse.

Fortunately, the chessboard was not stolen and was still in the same place.

Looking at the close-up of this chessboard, Odagiri feels strange.

“There’s less blood stains?”

Sure enough, Zuo Wei’s disappearance is an irreversible fact.

Zuo Wei also gave up. He said to Xiao Guang, who was about to play chess with his grandfather, “I’m going to disappear!”

I want to play more chess with Xiaoguang at the end.

But Xiaoguang doesn’t understand. You have existed for thousands of years, how could you suddenly disappear?

Suspicious and increasingly willful.

“No matter what I say, I don’t understand Xiaoguang.” Zuo Wei said sadly.

Odagiri was so angry that he wanted to roar. He stood up from his chair, threw the comics aside, and went out.

…

Hibiya Hibiki bought the latest computer and installed the extremely advanced win95.

This can be said to be an epoch-making system, and Hibiki Higashino is also very familiar with this system.

After connecting with the phone line, Hibiki couldn’t help but open the Go website and wanted to play two games.

He was surprised to find that “Odagiri” was also there.

Before he could invite him, the invitation to play against “Odagiri” arrived.

So I happily clicked Accept, starting a long-lost round.

It has been almost a year. The boy who never won a game against him has now grown into a professional chess player.

I wonder what his strength is like?

Higashino Hibiki put aside unnecessary thoughts and concentrated on playing the game of chess.

…

“I lost.” Higashikata said to himself.

He lost to Odagiri.

The layout stage was evenly divided, and there were back and forth after that.

But then he still made a bad move and completely lost the possibility of victory.

It seems a bit regretful, but it is not, it is inevitable.

The opponent is a professional chess player and has been concentrating on Go. I am an amateur. Therefore, there will be loopholes in the overall system.

Thanks to Yiyun and Fa Niao for the reward.
