Full-time cartoonist - #164 - Chapter 162

After the matter was settled, Higashino Hibiki and Inoue Kaede were eager to leave, so they did not hold the party.

Sasaki drove Hibiki Higashi home. When he heard Hibiki’s troubles about not having a driver’s license, Sasaki didn’t have any good ideas.

“It would be great if Toakino-kun could drive.” Sasaki said casually: “You can take the exam as soon as possible, but you can’t cheat.”

Higashikata showed surprise and said that this was no problem.

He was once a C1 driver’s license holder with a mileage of more than 60,000 kilometers. He can’t be called an experienced driver, but he is definitely not a novice.

Sasaki was stunned. He couldn’t figure out how Hibiki Hibiki, who had just grown up, had driving experience?

He asked: “Have you ever been in the country?”

Higashino Hibiki mumbled over vaguely.

Sasaki didn’t ask in detail: “Since you are confident, teacher, I will make arrangements immediately, but it will have to wait until after the New Year.”

“It’s troublesome.” Dong Yexiang said Chen Ken.

After returning to the studio, Sasaki talked with him about work before leaving.

Higashino Hibiki had a chance, so he called Asahina Yuko and learned that the first and second episodes of the animation had been completed, so he told her about the launch of the animation.

After Asahina learned about it, her paralyzed face actually broke out into a smile, making Minami Chiharu beside her tremble in shock.

“Is the end of the world happening?” She had never seen Asahina with a smiling expression.

Asahina glanced at her, and after finishing the call with Hibiki Hibiki, she called Mei Higashino.

“Mei, do you have some free time? Well, I need to ask you to dub a character.”

Mei Higashino, who has officially made her debut, has not yet dubbed the protagonist, but there is no problem in joining the animation lineup. After hearing Yuko Asahina’s invitation, she still decisively agreed.

I didn’t even ask what kind of work it was.

…

Two weeks later, the day before Christmas Eve. The college league is coming to an end.

Facing an influx of top college basketball teams from all over Japan, Tokyo resisted the pressure.

The teams that entered the semi-finals are three seed teams: Tokyo Sports University, Nihon University, and Takushoku University.

And the one who fought hard all the way from the qualifiers – Tunghai University!

The four schools that entered the finals of the national competition are all from Tokyo!

Togashi went home with emotion after watching the match between the Tokyo Sports University basketball team and last year’s championship team Nippon University Basketball Team.

“I didn’t expect the championship team to lose.”

This sports university basketball team was so awesome. In the national competition, they defeated the powerful Meiji University basketball team and the Kyushu Sangyo University basketball team. They were the undisputed champions at the time among the strong teams.

After returning home, Togashi suddenly felt very moved and wanted to watch “Slam Dunk”.

He watched the real-life game and wondered if the one in the comics was as exciting.

This comic was sent by the editor. He had not read it, but now he opened it.

…

“Slam Dunk” continues the previous plot, which is the game between Xiangbei and Xiangyang.

Mitsui was too nervous and ran to the toilet again.

While in the private room, he heard the conversation between the Xiangyang team members.

“By the way, do you know who No. 14 is in Xiangbei?”

This made Mitsui curious. He was No. 14.

“It’s Hisashi Mitsui from Takeishi Middle School. He still has to win the MVP award.”

“I know, I played against him in junior high and I couldn’t stop him at all.”

He commented that Mitsui was an excellent golfer, but Mitsui was at his peak at that time. Mitsui now is not as scary as he looked back then.

“I will keep Mitsui’s score below five points!”

Mitsui was so angry that he didn’t even wipe his butt, so he just picked up his pants and rushed out.

The game was full of gunpowder even before it started.

After that, Shoyang’s main player Kenji Fujima was still serving as the team’s coach, so he did not play.

Players over 190 centimeters tall and top center Toru Hanagata played against Shohoku.

Togashi looked forward to such a competition.

Since this game is the key to determining whether to enter the national competition, Akagi saw his dream approaching, and unexpectedly committed a jump ball foul.

He was too nervous.

…

The first point of the game was won by Xiangyang.

Facing Akagi’s block, Hanagata Toru unexpectedly used a fadeaway jumper.

This technical pitch immediately attracted applause from the audience.

Later, because of their strong desire to win, all the players in Shohoku became stiff. Faced with tall but agile movements and a soft flower shape, Shohoku repeatedly lost points.

It seems that among the top centers in Kanagawa, Hanagata surpasses Akagi and Uobashi, and is truly the number one.

“Flower shape!”

“Flower shape!”

Xiangyang’s uniform cheers cast another shadow over Xiangbei.

“Eh…” Togashi sighed regretfully. He was indeed in the “depression” stage.

“The first game was just a foreshadowing, so I said I didn’t want to watch it. Tsk.”

It is also normal for sports competitions to be handled in this way. After all, they are at a disadvantage at first, which highlights the strength of their opponents. Then buck the trend and defeat powerful enemies. Only in this way can brilliant sparks be created and the essence of hard-won victory be gained.

Togashi can predict that the game between Shohoku and the strong team Xiangyang will be very exciting!

This is the plot of the “Slam Dunk” comic where powerful forces collide in an official game.

With Tori Akino’s style, it is bound to be very shocking and make readers moved and excited.

At this moment, Togashi is extremely looking forward to the subsequent development.

By early spring next year, we should be able to experience such a game.

“Is this?” He was suddenly surprised, because in the audience, among the bustling crowd, he saw the unconventional twin ponytails.

There is also a moon pendant on the forehead of the twin ponytails, “Sailor Moon?”

Togashi blurted out.

“Is this painted by an assistant? Or was it painted by Tori Akino-kun?”

He suddenly became interested, and he was about to arrive at the New Year’s party. He was ready to torture Hibiki Hibiki. Why did you add the “Sailor Moon” easter egg? Do you have a crush on Miss Naoko Takeuchi?

This will be very interesting.

Togashi thought wickedly.

…

“It’s possible that Tori Akino-kun painted it, he is also the author of “The Garden of Words”!” The middle-aged aunt Fumi Chamon screamed excitedly!

“Yeah! It’s possible! It’s absolutely possible!”

Naoko Takeuchi attended Tori Akino’s autograph signing event!

With that kid’s mature look, it’s very normal to like Naoko, a beautiful older sister.

“Naoko also recommended “The Garden of Words”. Maybe at that time… the two people were in a quiet love affair!”

“It’s such a romantic and wonderful comic telling about my love.”
