Full-time cartoonist - #127 - Chapter 126

After saying goodbye to the female college student Riko Kuraki, Hibiki Higashino checked in one by one according to the attractions she introduced.

But the main ones are Enoden and Kamakura High School, as well as the basketball gym in Kamakura High School.

After a busy day and walking more than ten miles with Akimiya Akemi, Higashino Hibiki was exhausted both physically and mentally, and he actually vented a lot of his frustration.

Even when he heard a passing kid complain that “Slam Dunk” was boring, he didn’t get angry.

As dusk approached, they found a hotel to stay and returned to Musashino Art University the next day.

…

More than two months have passed since the serialization of “Slam Dunk”, and the performance of the work has been tepid. Kazuhiko Toshima, who has paid a lot of money, is under great pressure.

The doubts from the top and the incomprehension from the bottom made him feel uncomfortable being caught in the middle.

But even so, he did not urge Higashino Hibiki or give him strength.

Choose to bear all the pressure.

Now, “eva” only has the last two episodes left, which are almost over. The plot of “Slam Dunk” has finally reached the friendly match between Xiangbei and Lingnan.

This is already the result of Hibiki Higashikata’s deletions without damaging the plot and rhythm.

Otherwise Sakuragi Hanamichi would still be practicing basics at the Shohoku Basketball Hall.

…

The Lingnan High School basketball team has two main players. Captain Uo Jujun plays center and has the same position as Takenori Akagi.

However, in previous games, his performance was not as good as Akagi.

There is also a man named Akira Sendō, who is handsome, has a bright smile, and has a calm personality. He is the core of the team.

He has very strong athletic ability and can defeat Rukawa Kaede who is weak in physical strength.

And he is the most comprehensive and strongest player among the players currently playing.

Taoka Shigeichi of the Lingnan Basketball Team respects Coach Anzai very much and immediately saluted and said hello to Coach Anzai.

The friendly match officially begins.

Coach Anzai did not make Sakuragi go off the field, but used the excuse of a secret weapon to calm Sakuragi down.

Under Xiandao’s strong suppression, Xiangbei fell into a disadvantage as soon as the game started, and Lingnan continued to score goals.

The comic ended with the Hunan basketball team versus the Lingnan basketball team, with an indescribable score of 0:15.

…

This is just a very ordinary plot. The basketball game has not officially started yet. Sasaki informed Hibiki Higashino on Friday that Xiaozheng’s score was unexpectedly high and he was actually in fifth place.

Hibiki Higashino hadn’t gotten such good results in almost two months, and he was very surprised. The plot obviously had no merit.

“It’s a basketball game,” Sasaki looked at the report and explained: “In the reader survey received, many readers who voted for “Slam Dunk” hope to add more content about basketball games. In other words, Tori Akino Your painting skills and storyboards have been recognized by readers.”

Hibiki Higashino put in a lot of effort to draw “Slam Dunk” well.

Since December, I have been watching the NBA, drawing the movements and muscle lines of NBA players, changing the painting style to a more suitable one, and learning the storyboards of tense and fast games. Now it is finally working.

“The friendly match against Lingnan was the turning point in the change of “Slam Dunk”!” Sasaki said.

He saw the future.

Hibiki Higashikata inevitably became passionate and decided to burn it.

After hanging up the phone, Higashino Hibiki took the manuscript drawn by Oda and examined it carefully, then frowned.

“Why is there a giant panda here?”

In the audience, Higashino Hibiki saw a giant panda and watched the game off the field with students from Lingnan High School.

“Teacher, didn’t you say that backgrounds with a lot of people should be exaggerated? This is my exaggeration,” Oda said plausibly, “If it were a giant panda, it would definitely not be considered a similarity by readers, it is very unique!”

He held his head high and smiled triumphantly, which was obviously intentional.

To his surprise, Higashikata touched his chin and said: “There is indeed no problem, no need to change it.”

When it comes to comics backgrounds, it’s okay to occasionally have one or two weird points. Instead, readers will regard them as easter eggs.

After all, it won’t affect the plot, and it will be more interesting.

This statement made Oda’s eyes light up. He originally wanted to take revenge on Hibiki Hibiki for not using the material he shot, but he didn’t expect there would be an unexpected gain.

Drawing this kind of content is very interesting, so Oda decided to draw it occasionally, which can be regarded as the mark he left when he was an assistant on “Slam Dunk”.

Since this day was Friday, after finishing the manuscript for the latest episode, Tori Akino Studio got off work early.

Hibiya Hibiki was about to take a break and watch the recording of “eva”, but he received a call from Tetsuya Endo.

“The second season of “The Spirit of Chess” is about to end. We are going to hold a party. Please be sure to come and join us.”

Hibiki Higashino actually wanted to refuse, but when he thought about the fact that during the more than a year since the “Soul of the Chess” animation was serialized, he had not even thanked the staff, he agreed.

“That’s great!” Endo Tetsuya’s tone was full of surprise, “Miss Asahina will also be there, I’ll drive to pick you up.”

Higashino Hibiki politely refused to pick him up. After all, he was the protagonist. If he was not at the banquet, the animation staff present would be embarrassed.

After asking for the address, he first knocked on Akimiya Akemi’s dormitory door and informed her that he was going out to socialize.

Akimiya Akemi waved her hand, pretending not to care, and finally called Higashino Hibiki.

“Drink less.”

“Of course, I don’t like drinking that stuff.”

…

Not long after waiting at the gate, Asahina arrived.

She was wearing white clothes, with a Polaroid hanging on her chest, making her face look as tender as a doll.

From the second year of high school to the second year of college, Asahina’s height has not increased much. She is still about 1.55 meters. She is wearing thick clothes and swaying over, not caring about her image at all.

“Higashino-kun.”

“Asahina-san.”

After greeting each other, Hibiki waved to the big tree in the distance, and Akimiya Akemi ran away shyly.

It turned out that she had been secretly watching.

“What’s wrong? Higashino-kun.” Asahina was curious.

“It’s okay,” Higashino replied with a smile, “I saw a little rabbit, but it has already escaped.”

Asahina put down the camera in frustration, “That’s such a shame.”

Higashino Hibiki asked: “Are you ready to take photos at the banquet?”

“It’s based on material,” Asahina replied, “Such scenes are rare.”

“That’s it.”

Asahina is more serious than him.

The two of them walked side by side towards the roadside. Dongye Xiang waved and wanted to stop the taxi, but unfortunately they were all busy.

“The meeting place is near the NHK Broadcasting Center in Shibuya Ward. Director Tetsuya Endo said there is a restaurant there that tastes very good. I have already told me the address.”

Higashino Hibiki introduced the situation to Asahina, worrying that she was unsure.

“Yes.” Asahina nodded, “I feel at ease being with Higashino-kun.”

She waved and a taxi stopped.

“Shinjuku-ku Blue Sky Voice Actor Agency.” After telling the driver the location, she explained to Hibiki Higashino, “I have to pick up a friend and attend a banquet. She is an 18-year-old female voice actor.”

Higashino Hibiki didn’t mind. When he talked about being 18, he thought of his sister Mei.

Her high school grades were not ideal, so she didn’t take the college entrance examination. She was busy looking for a job recently and refused to let Hibiki Higashino help.

“The 18-year-old girl… is really stubborn.” Looking at the scenery passing by the window, Hibiki sighed helplessly.
