Full-time cartoonist - #145 - Chapter 144 The Hopeless Man

Miyagi Ryota decided to join the basketball club because he liked Ayako from the basketball club, and eventually fell in love with basketball.

This is completely consistent with Sakuragi. The two cherished each other and became good friends.

When they came out the next day, the two of them were arm-in-arm, which surprised the basketball team, but was also very pleased.

With Takenori Akagi, the genius Rukawa Kaede, the talented newcomer Sakuragi Hanamichi, and the returning Miyagi, entering the national competition is no longer a dream.

Kumu looked at Miyagi instructing Sakuragi’s fake moves, and his heart was full of excitement.

In the three years since he joined the Shohoku basketball team, except when he first joined the team in the first grade, he finally saw hope again.

…

Higashino Hibiki Studio.

Oda looked at the new storyboard, holding his chin and thinking for a moment. Suddenly, he raised his hand and asked loudly: “Tori Akino-sensei, I have a question.”

Higashino Hibiki was thinking about the rhythm of the next story when he heard Oda’s voice, which made him tremble.

“What’s going on?” Dong Yexiang asked.

“This guy with long hair who is both male and female, his name is Mitsui Hisashi, right?” Oda asked very puzzledly: “Why do you need to use such a long space to dig deeply into Mitsui Hisashi’s heart?”

It should be like a supporting role. If you need a funny plot, you can just use it.

But the content of the two episodes I drew recently are all based on Mitsui Hisashi.

The bad guys he led brought low pressure to the basketball team, and their arrogance made people want to beat them up just looking at them.

The Shohoku basketball team was in full swing, and Mitsui Hisashi’s appearance was like pouring cold water on it, making Oda worried.

Higashino Hibiki nodded with a smile, “It would be a waste to dig deep into this character and not use his value.”

Oda nodded, understanding that there would be a twist, “I’m looking forward to the next plot.”

Being an assistant can help you understand the plot of “Slam Dunk” more quickly, but without the reading experience of a reader, I can only say that it is painful and happy.

Oda took out a notebook and silently recorded it. Such a plot might inspire him.

…

Mid-August, dusk.

Kanda Taketo was lying in the bedroom, staring at the ceiling in boredom.

Since he was admitted to Tokai University in Japan, his parents have paid little attention to him.

After all, they were very pleased that the child who fooled around all day could be admitted to this famous university.

“Tch,” Kanda thought of this and said angrily, “It’s really superficial.”

In 1993, he was still a good student, but he looked down on himself just because of the two-year gap period. He felt that his hopeless parents were really hopeless.

“Boom! Boom!”

Outside the window, there was the roar of a motorcycle.

Kanda stood up and took a careful look at the chandelier. Being 195 centimeters tall, he was always worried about accidentally bumping into it.

“Takago, what are you doing under my window?” Kanda smiled and looked down from the window.

Gao Xiang is his good friend. He wears his hair slicked back, picks fights and fools around all day long.

But Kanda knew that Takago was a reliable friend.

“You’re bored alone,” Gao Xiang shouted, pointing to the back seat of the motorcycle, “Come out for a ride with me!”

Kanda responded: “It’s really annoying. I’ll get down right away.”

…

The motorcycle was speeding along the nearby mountain road. The wind blew by, but Kanda Taketo didn’t care.

Soon we arrived at the top of the mountain. The sunset was particularly spectacular, turning the world into a hazy place. Looking at the sun, Kanda was stunned, as if he saw himself.

But the sun will rise as usual tomorrow, but he is confused about his future.

The motorcycle stopped, overlooking the scenery below the mountain.

“Come down and enjoy the breeze,” Gao Xiang said.

The two of them leaned on the armrest, their hair flying in the wind.

After a long silence, Gao Xiang suddenly said:

“I’m going to Kanagawa.”

This sudden news surprised Kanda, “Why?”

Gao Xiang replied: “I graduated from high school. The old man at home didn’t want me to fool around anymore, so he found a job for me. After all, people have to grow.”

He sighed, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit one.

“Hoo~”

The wind blows half, and he blows half.

Kanda pretended to be nonchalant, but in his heart he felt abandoned by the world.

Everyone is growing, only he is still standing still.

“What to do?” Kanda asked.

“Working as a material clerk in a shoe factory,” Gao Xiang shook off the cigarette ashes, “I heard that we need to hurry up to make a batch of basketball shoes, so we are recruiting workers. Oh, by the way Kanda, you used to play basketball, right?”

“Yeah,” Kanda nodded, he didn’t want to say anything more.

Gao Xiang said: “You are so tall, you must be very good at basketball.”

A gust of wind blew.

“Still lost…” Kanda whispered.

“Huh? What did you say?” Gao Xiang asked.

“When are you leaving?” Kanda asked.

“Early September.” Gao Xiang replied.

It was getting dark, and the mosquitoes in the trees were particularly annoying.

“Go home.” Gao Xiang said.

“Yeah.” Kanda felt bored for a while. As he got older, he became more and more empty.

Takago sent Kanda to his door and waved goodbye to him.

When Kanda Taketo came in, Takago suddenly said: “Oh! I remembered it!”

“What?” Kanda was confused.

“The reason why basketball shoes sell so well.”

Kanda didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that Gao Xiang was still the same as before, always struggling with things that didn’t matter.

“The comic serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” is called “Slam Dunk”! Because of this comic, many people are playing basketball recently!”

He pointed to a park in the distance, “I heard that the residents’ committee will build a basketball court in the park. It was because everyone watched “Slam Dunk” and fell in love with playing basketball. There was not enough space, and the reason for the final feedback was. “

“It’s amazing.” Kanda exclaimed, “It actually inspired so many people to like basketball.”

But it had nothing to do with him. Kanda turned his back to Takago, “I understand, I understand, bye.”

“Remember to send it to me at the beginning of next month!” Gao Xiang said loudly.

“It depends on my mood.”

…

At night, there was a full moon in the sky, and the moonlight illuminated the bedroom particularly brightly.

Kanda couldn’t sleep.

Handsome said that he is a remnant of the old era and there is no ship to carry him in the new world.

In reality, it is fear and confusion about the future.

Daybreak.

Kandagawa was lying on the sofa reading comics. He heard a noise and saw his giant brother appear.

His eyes were red and his limbs were weak.

“Wow, you didn’t sleep all night, did you?”

“That’s long-winded.” Kanda shouted tiredly.

Entering the bathroom, he washed his face and finally felt more energetic.

When he walked to the living room and was having breakfast, he saw his brother’s intriguing eyes and felt unhappy.

Pulling the comic out from under his eyes and holding it up high, Kanda was happy to see him jumping around and unable to get the comic book.

“You’re already in high school, why do you still read shonen comics? Let me read it.”

Avoiding his brother Kandagawa’s hand, Kanda Taketo raised the manga above his head and started reading.

“Is this a bad fight? The beating was really brutal.” Kanda was speechless.

He flipped through it and finally understood it roughly.

It was a man named Mitsui who asked his friend Tetsuo for help and went to the Shohoku basketball team to find trouble.

The one who was beaten was Miyagi Ryota, but he did not fight back or dodge.

His head was beaten to a bloody pulp without saying a word.

“Tsk, that’s really embarrassing.” Kanda was unhappy.

“No,” Kandagawa said, “Miyagi didn’t want the Shohoku basketball team to be banned from playing because of violence in the gym! That’s why he didn’t fight back, Mitsui Hisashi, that bastard!”

He remembered the previous content, the unruly Miyagi, who was not afraid to take action when trouble was found.

“A game?” Kanda Taketo was stunned, “Japanese high school basketball game?”

“Yes.” The younger brother nodded, “Xianbei’s dream is to enter the national competition and win first place in the country!”

“No. 1 in the country,” Kanda Taketo curled his lips, “How can it be that simple?”

He looked at the cartoon, where a effeminate man with long hair and leaky teeth raised the mop high, intending to hit Ryota Miyagi with the edge of the mop.

“Tsk, that’s really despicable.”

He also fought, but never like this.

This guy named Mitsui Hisashi is simply a scumbag.

Fortunately, he was stopped by two of Miyagi’s team members.

Seeing Kanda Taketo reading the manga seriously, his younger brother Kandagawa stopped trying. He sat on the bench in the opposite direction and looked at his brother’s frown in amusement.

The conflict intensified, and a fight was about to begin. The provocateur’s plan succeeded.

An honest player stepped in between the two parties.

Mitsui: “What do you want to do? Yasuda.”

The two of them actually knew each other, and they looked like they were from the same world.

Yasuda: “Please go back, please, the game is close.”

Mitsui: “Oh?”

Yasuda: “Many new players have joined this year, and Miyagi is back. I think maybe we can reach the national competition.”

Yasuda mustered up the courage and asked Mitsui Shou to go back, but Mitsui severely beat him away.

The subsequent plot progressed very quickly. Rukawa Kaede was attacked by a bad boy behind him and was beaten to a bloody head.

He began to fight back, taking Mitsui Hisashi with him, and knocked down many people one after another.

Ayako who came to dissuade was pushed down by the gangster. Miyagi could no longer hold back and pushed the gangster to the ground and beat him continuously.

The situation became more and more serious, and Tetsuo of Mitsui Yifang finally took action.

He threw Rukawa Kaede away, and kicked Tsunoda away with his thighs as powerful as logs.

Shiozaki of the Shohoku basketball team and Miyagi who came in anger were also killed by Tetsuo one after another.

This man is really powerful, like the God of War.

On the Shobei side, the most powerful Sakuragi Hanamichi fanned Mitsui, and the two of them faced off.

“Wow, it’s getting interesting!” Kanda Taketo’s eyes lit up, he liked this kind of plot.

As a delinquent, he looks very empathetic.

Right, some basketball cartoon. You should write bad content so that readers will like to read it.

How can anyone like a boring sport like basketball?

The author is obviously a sensible person.

However, Kanda Taketo had to admit that the author’s drawings were really good, and he succeeded in setting off the atmosphere and making it very immersive. His breathing became short while watching it.

But the comic ends here.

“What’s going on?” he asked his younger brother who was watching the show.

“Jump is a serialized comic magazine, and the next chapter will be on Monday the day after tomorrow.” Kandagawa said.

“Serialized? I’m really unhappy.” Kanda Taketo shook his head. He threw the comic back to his brother and went back to the bedroom.

“Want to read the next episode?” my brother asked.

“I’m not interested anymore,” Kanda Taketo said.

“Tsk,” my younger brother opened the comic, “It’s really unpleasant.”
