Full-time cartoonist - #144 - Chapter 143 Where is the
In August, Takasugi Kazu was also watching jump.
In the last issue, the plot of “Slam Dunk” was that Miyagi Ryota liked Ayako, and because of this, he had a fight with Sakuragi Hanamichi, who was close to Ayako.
Although it is not about basketball, Takasugi Kazu also enjoyed watching it.
Because when the two of them were fighting, they accidentally beat up the long-haired gangster who was looking for trouble.
“Hahaha,” Kazuya Takasugi burst into laughter thinking of that episode.
The eldest brother and the second child fight, and the third child collapses, that’s probably it.
Through the explanations of passers-by, Takasugi learned that this handsome gangster’s name was Mitsui Hisashi.
Because he felt that Miyagi Ryota was too ostentatious, he found six or seven people and surrounded Miyagi on the rooftop.
Of course Miyagi was no match, so he just stared at the leader Mitsui Hisashi and beat him hard, making Mitsui Hisashi unconscious and knocking out his front teeth.
However, Miyagi was also beaten badly, and both he and Mitsui were hospitalized for a while.
So in addition to standing up for the younger brother who was bullied by Sakuragi, there is also the factor of revenge against Miyagi.
I didn’t expect to be beaten again now.
“Hisashi Mitsui is probably a comedy character.”
In “Slam Dunk”, there are quite a few such characters.
For the proportion of comedy elements and bad elements in comics, Takasugi Kazu can understand it.
“In the friendly match in Lingnan, northern Hunan, which lasted for more than three months, I almost forgot all the content before “Slam Dunk”.”
Shaking his head, Gao Shan looked at the new issue of Jump with great anticipation.
Miyagi is also on the basketball team, and Sakuragi wants to compete with him.
Sakuragi hated Miyagi who suddenly attacked him.
Then the last comic ended.
Takasugi Kazuya has been looking forward to it for a long time and wants to see the next content.
What is Miyagi’s strength? With a height of 168 centimeters, will he be a rival for beginner Sakuragi?
With these doubts in mind, Takasugi Kazuya opened Jump.
“Eh? Strange…”
After looking through comic magazines, he didn’t see “Slam Dunk”.
It’s obviously always on the front page of the comic magazine.
“I shouldn’t have missed it.”
Until he saw…
“Due to the mental and physical exhaustion of the long-term serialization, Tori Akino-sensei took a vacation to relieve his mood and took a break from publication for a week.”
“Huh?” After seeing this line, Takasugi Kazuya was so sad that he wanted to die. He was very much looking forward to the follow-up plot, but the publication was suspended…
“After insisting on it for more than two years, why not continue to persevere? Why should it be suspended? Where can I make up for the missing plot of “Slam Dunk”?”
Takasugi Kazuya was almost hysterical. He had been waiting for an unbearable week.
“Higashino-kun works in the school dormitory…” After quieting down, he sat on the floor and thought.
He wants to go back to school now.
“Damn it, I have to wait another week.”
“I hope there will be no break next week!”
…
The suspension of “Slam Dunk” has become the biggest topic in the jump circle in the past two days.
Yoshihiro Togashi was very pleased.
“This kid worked so hard that I was scared. Now I finally know how to take a rest.”
It is very hard to draw comics while going to college, let alone a comic like “Slam Dunk” with an astonishing workload.
“He is indeed not made of iron, hahaha.”
Yoshihiro Togashi felt relaxed.
Even though he had begun to lie down, facing the aggressive juniors, he still wanted to compare one with the other.
“However, “Slam Dunk” is not serialized…I…”
At this moment, he felt the reader’s mood.
Toriyama Akira looked at the beef and Sapporo specialties sent by Hibiki Higashino and understood.
“It turns out I’m going on a trip, um, to combine work and rest.”
Hokkaido University, Faculty of Agriculture.
Asakura Aiko looked at the comics, lowered her head and covered her face. She regretted it.
“I was so surprised when I met Tori Akino-sensei that I forgot that he still wanted to draw comics… If I had known that the magazine was on hiatus, I should have given him a good rap.”
Of course, this is what she thinks now. If she really meets Hibiki Hibiki again, she will only call him sweetly: “Tori Akino-sensei.”
I won’t say a single word of complaint, after all, things are different offline.
Other cartoonists said, “Tori Akino has finally stopped publishing, and I can’t get enough of it.”
Akimotoji and Araki Hirohiko smiled slightly, “Tori Akino is nothing more than that.”
…
Higashikata looked at Tanaka. He was still the same, taciturn and working with his head down.
He didn’t show any sadness at all when he was not selected for the Comic Awards.
This is quite strange.
Tanaka raised his head and said, “Excuse me, what can I do? Mr. Tori Akino.”
Higashino Hibiki revealed all his doubts.
He had wanted to know for a long time, and he couldn’t care less about Tanaka’s mood at this time.
“Well,” Tanaka frowned, “I am already very happy to be qualified to participate in the Manga Awards. With my level, it is normal not to be selected.”
As long as you don’t have expectations, you won’t be disappointed.
That’s the case with Tanaka.
Sometimes it’s good to be pessimistic.
…
On Monday, Takasugi Kazuya went to a nearby park after nervously buying a jump.
There were two children on the park bench. They also bought jumps and were opening them carefully.
“I must be a reader of “Slam Dunk” too,” Kazuya Takasugi thought sadly.
“Slam Dunk” was suspended last week, and he heard a lot of complaints from people.
“Why are you suspending publication?”
“Wouldn’t it be better to just start the Guinness Book of Records without stopping?”
Everyone is like this.
As long as readers who also watch “Level E” don’t care, no matter how messy Tori Akino is, he will not be the same as Togashi who updates every month.
As for Diablo readers, they have given up hope.
Kazuya Takasugi sat in the corner, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and opened the comics with trembling hands.
“It’s updated.”
He and the children beside him said in surprise at the same time.
Takasugi Kazuya felt that the voice was very familiar. He looked at the two children carefully and suddenly remembered that these were the two brats who stepped on his shoes.
“It’s AJ11!”
“Whoa, run!”
The two imps quickly ran out of his sight.
Takasugi Kazuya could only stamp his feet angrily.
“Forget it, let’s read comics.”
The new episode of “Slam Dunk” is Miyagi Ryota vs. Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Miyagi Ryota was very disdainful. Sakuragi Hanamichi was obviously a novice, and he was curious as to why Akagi asked Sakuragi to join the basketball game.
He easily intercepted the basketball from Sakuragi Hanamichi.
Then Hanamichi Sakuragi defended Miyagi. This beginner had no idea what a foul was and hit Miyagi directly on the back of his hand. He stole the basketball and laughed proudly.
Under Sakuragi Hanamichi’s chaos, the two people soon struggled together.
So a basketball game ended in nothing. Under the suppression of Takenori Akagi, no more problems finally occurred.
“Sakuragi and Miyagi have a very bad compatibility. It is important to work together as a team. How can these two people reconcile?”
