Full-time cartoonist - #106 - Chapter 105 Prelude to Disappearance

Odagiri couldn’t believe it, he actually won!

The opponent who was considered unbeatable before was defeated by him.

He looked at his hands, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Even becoming a professional chess player does not have this dreamlike feeling.

Hibiki Higashino: “I lost, and I will leave my Go path to you from now on.”

Between Go and comics, he chose comics.

He entrusted his love for Go to Odagiri who grew up.

After reading this sentence, Odagiri wanted to cry a little.

Just type it.

“Well, I will keep playing chess, and the teacher should always pay attention to me.”

“Okay.” Hibiki Higashi replied.

More than an hour had passed, and he said he was about to shut down the computer, but Odagiri asked:

“What does Mr. Hibiki Higashino do? If he is not a professional chess player, why are he so strong?”

He sent this sentence intermittently several times, and finally let Hibiki Higashino see it in full.

“Of course I’m not a professional chess player,” Higashino Hibiki curled his lips: “Actually, we have met before, but you didn’t recognize me.”

“Huh?” Odagiri was stunned. He racked his brains and thought that no one he knew could match “Higashino Hibiki”.

Higashino Hibiki said: “I will tell you next time we meet again.”

“Hey! Just tell me.”

“No, this is the funniest thing.”

“Teacher, you are really a bad person.” Odagiri recalled “Spirit of the Game”, “Just like Tori Akino Mirai.”

Higashikata was startled, thinking he was recognized so quickly? But fortunately, he said it accidentally.

Because he criticized Tori Akino Mirai.

“Ignorance of good and evil”, “Creation indiscriminately”, “Bullying readers”, “Do not understand people’s hearts”.

I enjoyed the plot that Zuo Wei might become a Buddha.

Higashino Hibiki was scolded by him, and he had no way to refute. Taking advantage of his spasm, he quickly typed: “See you later.”

The rat scurried away.

…

next week.

On Monday, countless people are looking forward to the second episode of “Level E”.

But I saw outrageous news.

The author is on hiatus.

Is this the case? The first episode has just been serialized, and the second episode has been suspended?

Higashino Hibiki wanted to vomit blood, and he was also very curious about what would happen next.

He was actually given up by Yoshihiro Togashi.

He only updates one episode a month, but he actually does it like this?

Higashino Hibiki only thought it was Shang Fang’s sword, or that he would use it occasionally.

I didn’t expect that it would be strictly used in the second episode.

Yoshihiro Togashi is really a thorn in the side.

The editorial department must be very distressed, knowing that this person is difficult to deal with, but they still have to use him.

Thinking of this, Higashikata became happy again.

…

Higashino Hibiki came to school and walked into the classroom. The classmates stepped forward one after another and asked what happened to Hibiki Higashikata? Why is the second episode of “Level E” not updated?

Seeing their anxious looks, Hibiki Higashino told the editorial department and Yoshihiro Togashi the agreement.

Regarding this point, it is actually marked on the jump.

But the readers couldn’t believe that such outrageous preferential treatment would actually be given.

Drawing monthly comics in a weekly comic magazine…

When I think about being able to read only one new episode a month, a manuscript of less than twenty pages, and something that can be read in just a few minutes, I feel filled with depression.

According to the number of “Yu Yu Hakusho”, it cannot be updated for more than ten years.

But who makes readers love to read his works? Favorites are always self-defeating, so we can only tolerate them and hope that one day he will be diligent.

But seriously, Togashi is really awesome at this stage.

The first episode is not bad, the plot is interlocking, exciting, unexpected, and the painting is exquisite. It is a very careful work.

Readers can only comfort themselves psychologically. One chapter is updated every month. It must be a carefully polished work that is more refined than a weekly.

Hibiki Higashino understands this feeling very well, because he found that he felt it too.

Slowly, he grew into someone he didn’t like and put on a clown mask. From then on, he looked forward to Yoshihiro Togashi’s comics.

Became a sad watcher of time.

Returning to his seat, Hibiki saw Asahina beside her. She was discussing with Minami Chiharu. Hibiki listened and heard that it was about the animation they produced.

After the voice actors dubbing is over, coloring and post-production begin.

Sounds like it’s almost done.

It’s the evening of Musashino Art University’s Art Festival, and there will be a bonfire party, plus activities from the Animation Club and the Rock Club, which will definitely heat up the atmosphere.

Dong Yexiang listened for a while and then stopped paying attention.

Asahina and the others have their own lives, and Higashino Hibiki is happy to see this.

“Higashino-kun, you must come to participate.” Minami Chiharu waved her hand and said.

It turned out that she had already discovered it.

“Yes,” Higashikata nodded, “I will definitely go.”

“Thank you, Higashino-kun,” Asahina said. “I’m so grateful to have been able to produce ‘H-Come Out.'”

Because of this, she met some big bosses in animation production and is learning from them.

“There is a drama that will be broadcast in October. You must remember to watch it, Higashino-kun. It is very exciting.” Minami Chiharu recalled, “We interned at Khara during the summer vacation and got to know real animation producers.”

“I also saw the animation in advance. It is an animation that can change the world.”

She said it was very powerful, but Hibiki Higashikata didn’t know what animation it was.

After careful questioning, Asahina said: “The director is Mr. Hideaki Anno, and the animation is called “EVA”.”

Hibiki Higashino was shocked, it turned out to be this masterpiece, “Neon Genesis Evangelion”!

Although he has never seen it himself, netizens say it is very impressive. Some say it is a work of art, and some say it is a cultural treasure.

Hibiki Higashino doesn’t understand, but more than twenty years later, people are still discussing this work, which proves the strength of “EVA”.

This is an animation that does not follow trends. It has its own ideas and can be called a masterpiece. Many years later, there are still many people who love this work.

“Congratulations.” Higashikata Higashi said.

Being able to work hard for your dreams is already worthy of happiness.

Right, Xiaoharu.

…

Even if the second episode of Yoshihiro Togashi is not updated, the sales volume of Jump has always remained at around 4.7 million.

It can be said that Nobuhiko Horie’s goal has been achieved.

He has become very kind in the past two days, unlike the bad temper he had during the egg changing period in the previous two months.

“You’ve been doing a great job lately,” he said to Asada.

“Pay attention to the way you communicate with the author and be gentle.” He said to Lurenjiao.

At the same time, he was smiling and nodding in approval, which was too gentle to look at.

The editors sat together and discussed this phenomenon.

“It’s a little disgusting to be gentle.” Asada said bluntly.

“That’s good.” Deerman said.

“It’s just overwhelming to switch emotions,” Takeda said.

“Hurry up and work, what are you doing here?” Sasaki arrived and dispersed them.

Finally, he glanced at Nobuhiko Horie and murmured to himself, “I’m in a good mood lately.”

So he stood up, walked to Nobuhiko Horie, and whispered something.

Horie Nobuhiko shook his head at first, then frowned and agreed.

On Monday, Yoshihiro Togashi still did not update “Level E”.

After the readers were disappointed, they saw touching content in “The Soul of Chess”.

The Chess Academy organized a “two days and one night” Go activity.

A disciple of Taya Yukihiro, Ogata 9th Dan also participated.

In the previous content, he defeated Taya Yukihiro, who changed himself and became younger in his chess game, and won the title of “Tenth Dan”.

Going forward, this person has been chasing Sai’s identity, and once targeted Shindo Hikaru.

During this event, Ogata, who was drunk and drunk, finally burst out his suppressed emotions.

He wants to play chess with Sai. Regardless of whether Shindo Hikaru is Sai or not, he will play chess with Sai.

Of course Xiaoguang wanted to refuse, but Zuo Wei stopped him.

The man in front of me is already drunk. Even if we play chess with him, we will forget it the next day.

Ogata led the way, and Zuowei looked at Xiaoguang’s back, feeling uncontrollably jealous.

“Why? Why not me? But Xiaoguang? God.”

“Why Xiaoguang? Why only Xiaoguang?”

“I’m going to disappear and there will be only Hikari!”

“I can’t contain my jealousy for the future Hikari has.”

Fujiwara Sawei’s pupils were dilated. He had been chasing the hand of God for thousands of years, but in the end he could not reach it. He suffered to the depths of his soul.

But it’s more than that.

“It’s not just that… I don’t want to be separated from Xiaoguang!”

Light spots appeared in the manga, surrounding Sawei. He closed his eyes and quietly recalled Torajiro.

“Just like before! I don’t want to be separated from Torajiro either!”

“At that time, Torajiro, who was lying in bed, said to me: ‘I’m sorry, Sawei. I don’t want to be separated from you.'” “

He opened his eyes, showing sadness. Looking at Xiao Guang’s back, his body was shaking.

“Obviously…I don’t want to be separated from you…”

…

When Yamamura Shoudao saw this, he recalled the short story “The Soul of Chess” he had seen in 1993, and tears were already covering his face.

Crying is indiscriminate and tears flow freely. He kept sniffing snot from his nose and making disgusting sounds.

Teacher Arai quickly handed him toilet paper. You must know that he was eating instant noodles and couldn’t hear such a sound at this time. No appetite at all.

“Sneeze!” Yamamura Shoudao blew his nose hard and made a loud noise.

“Damn Bird Qiuye, you are so hard-hearted, why did you draw such content? Boo hoo hoo.”

Arai only found it funny, and asked, “Don’t you think it’s strange that you hate Tori Akino so much, but also like his comics so much?”

“What’s so strange?” Yamamura was puzzled. “I hate him because he is competing with me and overpowering me in every aspect. In twenty years of my life, this is the first time I have been suppressed by my peers, and I feel particularly unhappy. .”

Arai, “Toriakino is obviously younger than you…what kind of peers…”

Yamamura ignored him and continued, “As for liking works, who wouldn’t like comics like “The Soul of Chess”? Alas.”
