Full-time cartoonist - #141 - Chapter 140 New shoes need to be stepped on three times, friends reunited

After readers saw that Haruko and Hanamichi Sakuragi bought Nike Jordan VI basketball shoes from the shoe store owner for 30 yen, a new issue of Jump arrived as promised.

This time, a new character appeared, Sakuragi, who failed to confess her love 10 times – Miyagi Ryota.

Miyagi Ryota is 168 centimeters tall. His hairstyle is shaved short on both sides and an afro in the middle. There is no doubt that it is to increase his height.

Facing the provocative four members of the Sakuragi Legion, Ryota was not afraid at all, and his expression was full of joy and disobedience.

He was hospitalized for a period of time after fighting, and he has just been released from the hospital. Now he is ready to face the challenge again just like the flat-headed brother.

Miyagi Ryota stared closely at Mito Yohei, who was the most like the boss among the four, and decided to catch Yohei when he was being beaten later. This way, it would not be a disadvantage.

Fortunately, the fight did not break out and was resolved by Yang Ping.

Higashino Hibiki’s classmate, Takasugi Kazuya, who likes basketball and has a withdrawn personality, is very involved in watching it now.

He likes this character very much. Like him, he is relatively short, but he is particularly aloof and aloof, with a strong and invincible aura.

It is simply the self that Takasugi Kazuya wants to grow into.

And judging from the conversation between Ayako and Akagi, Miyagi Ryota is also a member of the Shohoku basketball team, which makes Kazuya Takashi even more excited.

“How will Miyagi Ryota perform? Judging from the current description, he will be a main player! Wow, I really want to watch Miyagi Ryota’s game.”

Thinking that he would have to wait for another week before the next episode, Takasugi Kazu felt itchy.

“Summer vacation is really troublesome. If it’s school time, you can ask Mr. Tori Akino.”

At this time, he was sitting on a bench in the park’s shade. He felt that the sun was getting hotter, making him restless.

“Brother, are these shoes new?”

Takasugi Kazuya looked away from the comics. In front of him were two little boys, wearing white T-shirts, shorts, and hats. The clothes were dirty, and the white shoes on their feet were full of mud. It seemed that they had just played by the river, and their bodies were covered with mud. It was stained top and bottom.

Takasugi Kazuya felt sad for these two children. They would definitely be beaten by their mother when they went back, right?

“Yes, I just bought the aj11 yesterday.”

These are the basketball shoes he bought with the remuneration he received from the exhibition of his works. They are particularly valuable as a souvenir.

“Since they are new shoes.”

“It must be very hard, it will chafe your feet.”

The two brats looked at each other and smiled, then stepped on Takasugi Kazuya’s aj11 with their dirty shoes, rubbing the soles three times.

“Eh?” Kazuya Takasugi was stunned.

The two children seized the opportunity and ran away quickly. As they ran, they said, “We will step on the shoes for you. You have to step on them three times to put on new shoes. Don’t thank us!”

When Takasugi Kazuya saw the muddy footprints on his new shoes, he felt heartbroken. He quickly picked off two leaves and wiped the shoe prints.

“Damn you kid, these are my new shoes!” Takasugi was heartbroken.

…

On Tuesday, in the editorial office of “Weekly Shōnen Jump”, Torishima Kazuhiko looked at the quick report and nodded with satisfaction.

“After the “Slam Dunk” game, although the popularity has declined, it is within the expected range, not bad, um, not bad.”

He was happier.

Not only the competition, but also the charm of daily plots has been brought out. This proves that “Slam Dunk” is not a sudden success, and this achievement can be sustained.

“It’s really hot in Tokyo.”

“I want to travel to Hokkaido.”

Editor Asada and Editor Yahagi whispered as they passed under Torishima Kazuhiko’s nose.

Torishima Kazuhiko raised his head and suddenly remembered, “Did Yoshihiro Togashi go to the ski resort in Sapporo? Such a messy author is really too much.”

Torishima Kazuhiko hated the thought of Yoshihiro Togashi.

The manga artist who ranks first in unexpectedness is none other than Yoshihiro Togashi.

He tricked Horie Nobuhiko very badly.

Although Nobuhiko Horie was transferred to other magazine departments, how could other comic magazines compare with Jump?

“Fortunately, I am betting on Tori Akino, a diligent cartoonist who has not stopped publishing for more than two years.”

Tori Akino published “The Garden of Words” twice, and almost fell ill from exhaustion. Torishima Kazuhiko knew that, and under the circumstances, serialization was still guaranteed, which made Torishima Kazuhiko very happy.

“Mr. Torishima.”

Someone called him. Torishima Kazuhiko looked over and saw that it was Nao Sasaki.

“Oh, Sasaki.” Torishima Kazuhiko handed him the report, “‘Slam Dunk’ ranked third in the quick report, which is pretty good.”

“Yes, I understand,” Sasaki hesitated for a while and then said, “There is something I think I need to inform you about.”

“What?” Torishima Kazuhiko asked.

“It’s Tori Akino-kun’s business.” Sasaki Nao’s face was heavy, which made Torishima Kazuhiko uneasy.

“What’s going on?” Torishima Kazuhiko asked.

“He informed me that he was going to take a week off from publishing.” Sasaki said solemnly.

“What!” Torishima Kazuhiko was in disbelief, “Why are you suspending publication?”

Sasaki said: “I said I wanted to spend time with my family. After all, the series has been serialized for so long, and my relationship with my family has become estranged.”

“Yeah.” Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, he could understand.

It’s just that I’m too tired and don’t want to draw, or I just don’t have new ideas.

but……

Torishima Kazuhiko suggested, “You can draw two less pages.”

“Slam Dunk” is very popular right now, but if it suddenly goes on hiatus and interrupts the rhythm, it will cause a big problem.

I used to draw 19 pages a week, but this week I drew 17 pages. Having half a day to spare is the best of both worlds.

“Also, if he gets used to it, enjoys it, and becomes lazy because of this suspension of publication, that would be bad.” Torishima Kazuhiko said worriedly.

“I’m afraid it’s too late,” Sasaki looked at the sky, “The Higashino family has already boarded the plane to Sapporo.”

…

Hokkaido, Sapporo City, the summer weather here is very cool, which makes the Higashino family very comfortable. It is really happy to come from the hot Tokyo to Sapporo, where the temperature is around 25 degrees.

Hibiki Higashino had no impression of Sapporo.

When he learned about Sapporo from the Internet, he only knew that it was the administrative center of Hokkaido and a tourist destination with a lot of delicious food, so he chose this place.

Although the most lively time in Sapporo is the Snow Festival from January to March, it is also a good thing to come to the North Country in summer.

First, we went to the large hotel Hibiki had booked nearby.

Looking at the magnificent hall, Dong Yexi felt a little worried about Qian. Although he didn’t say anything, his brows were knitted together.

She was used to being frugal, and she didn’t get used to the fact that Hibiki Higashi was very rich.

Arriving at the room booked by Hibiki Higashikata.

Mei Higashino, who had no job recently, also came with her. She seemed particularly excited and threw herself on the big bed.

Higashino was sitting in the living room of the hotel room feeling uneasy. Seeing Higashino Mei’s appearance, he admonished her: “Going to bed without taking off your shoes is really rude.”

“Yeah!” Mei Yi nodded, I knew I was wrong, but I just wouldn’t change it.

After a while, Mei Yi started snoring and she fell asleep.

Higashino had no choice but to go out and tell Higashino Ichiro and Hibiki Hibiki in the opposite room.

“Let her take a nap first.” Ichiro Higashino said, “Actually, I’m a little sleepy too. I’ll have the energy to explore Sapporo after a nap.”

In order to save air tickets, the Higashino family waited at the airport early in the morning.

So it’s normal, that’s how it was decided.

Everyone else was taking a nap. Hibiki Higashi was used to being tired, but he was in good spirits.

So he decided to go somewhere during his free time.

At the Faculty of Agriculture of Hokkaido University in Sapporo, there is a friend who I haven’t seen for a long time studying here. He didn’t even return to Tokyo during the summer vacation. Hibiki Higashino missed him very much.

…

It can only be said that it is worthy of being called the Faculty of Agriculture. The space is astonishingly large. Compared with it, Musashino suddenly looks like a one-bedroom apartment in a courtyard.

If he hadn’t contacted Nishimura in advance, Higashino Hibiki wouldn’t have been able to find him and wouldn’t have been able to enter the Department of Agriculture.

There are experimental fields for students from the Department of Agriculture, as well as some large-scale free-range livestock, including horses. It is natural to worry about outsiders causing trouble or accidents.

“Long time no see! Dongye!”

As soon as they met, Nishimura hugged him.

Higashikata was very moved and hugged him tightly.

But soon, he pushed Nishimura out.

Nostrils twitching, Dong Yexiang sniffed, smelling of the unpleasant smell of livestock manure.

“It stinks!”

“Is there any?” Nishimura was at a loss. He smelled his collar, “There’s no smell?”

“You’re used to it, right?” Dong Yexiang looked at him happily and shook his head.

In front of him, Nishimura’s skin tone has become darker, he looks much stronger, and he is very energetic. Compared with when he was in high school, he is completely different.

Farming is a good practice, and it can really make people grow quickly.

The two of them strolled through the Department of Agriculture for more than ten minutes, but still didn’t reach their destination.

“It’s summer vacation, why don’t you go back to Tokyo? Kitamoto really wants to relax too.” Higashino Hibiki asked curiously.

“I also want to go back to Tokyo,” Nishimura said tangledly: “What will happen to it if I leave?”

“It?” Because of the Japanese pronunciation, Higashino Hibiki misunderstood that he couldn’t date Nishimura’s girlfriend, “What is it?”

“It’s my pig!” Nishimura gave a thumbs up, “I named it ‘Napoleon’!” You must meet it. I told it a lot of stories between us. “

“The school staff will take care of “Napoleon” during the summer vacation, but I am worried that I will not take good care of him or neglect him. After all, the first and second grade students are all arranged to raise pigs. “Napoleon” is a very picky eater, and I am really worried that he will starve and lose weight. “

Hibiki never thought that one day Nishimura would have such a deep relationship with a pig.

“I have raised Napoleon for more than a year, and of course I have feelings for him. “

Another ten minutes passed before we arrived at the pig house.

The air smelled of feed, and Hibiki frowned subconsciously.

When they felt someone coming in, the pigs all screamed “hum”.

It seems to be saying, “It’s time to eat! It’s time to eat!”

Nishimura ignored it and led Dong Yexiang directly to a three-yuan pig.

“Wow, it’s so big!” Higashikata exclaimed.

It reminded him of the pig-killing feast when he was a child, and his eyes gleamed.
