Full-time cartoonist - #31 - Chapter 31 Coming soon
“So now we need a charismatic protagonist,” Hibiki Higashino nodded.
The original work of “Go Soul” is like this. Shindo Hikaru also fell in love with Go under the guidance of Taya Ryo, Taya Yukihiro and other chess players.
The concentration on their faces while they were playing chess made Shindo Hikaru admire them.
Only then did he embark on the path of enrolling as a college student and taking the exam to become a professional chess player.
Shindo Hikaru gave up Fujiwara Sawei’s cheating Go prowess and chose to play chess on his own.
Is he a qualified protagonist?
Hibiki Higashino explained the subsequent plot.
Sasaki was surprised. He raised his head and looked at Hibiki Higashino seriously, realizing once again the extent of this man’s genius.
Progress is too fast.
It’s simply not human.
He adjusted his glasses and said, “Well, that’s it. You are already good enough. All you need to do now is prepare for the series.”
“Actually, I’m here for this too.” Higashikata Higashi said.
He handed the three-episode manuscript he had prepared to Sasaki, “Please take a look.”
Sasaki took it, pulled out the manuscript and fell silent.
“Did you finish the painting so quickly?”
Dong Yexiang nodded.
“You can definitely adapt to the weekly serialization.” Sasaki exclaimed, “I only draw the characters myself and let my assistant draw the rest, which can shorten the time by a quarter.”
Then he looked at the original manuscript, and after a while a smile appeared on his lips, “It’s not impossible to serialize it in high school.”
…
After bidding farewell to Sasaki, Hibiki returned to the dormitory with a smile on his face.
It was just time for dinner, and I saw everyone in the front yard, with charcoal fire, grill and ingredients on the table.
Hibiki Higashino joined in, “It’s barbecue! Is today a good day?”
“Takagi-senpai was recommended by the school to take the Tokyo University exam and has been admitted.” Yoshii Sanhisa explained to Higashino Hibiki.
“Hey!” Hibiki Higashikata was startled and looked at Kiko Takagi, who was limp and unable to sit up. “You really can’t tell a person’s face!”
“Higashino!” Takagi Kiko stood up instantly and shouted, “What do you mean?”
“I didn’t expect,” Minami Chiharu turned the barbecue at the oven, “that Takagi-senpai, who was drunk and noisy all day long, actually went to the same university as Aoki-senpai. The high status of Tokyo University in my mind, It collapsed with a bang.”
“Chiharu~” Takagi Kiko said coquettishly and in a longer tone, “You are so bad.”
Minami Chiharu shuddered.
“I’m already making barbecue for you.” Minami Chiharu didn’t look up, “Please don’t let me spit it out.”
They started to fight, and Hibiki’s arm moved. He looked over, and it was Akimiya Akemi who was pulling his sleeves, pointing to a hidden corner.
Dong Yexiang followed her and asked curiously: “What’s the matter?”
Akimiya Akemi asked: “Did you go to Shueisha today? What was the result?”
“Editor Sasaki said he would submit the manuscript to the serialization conference,” Hibiki Higashino said with a smile, “After that it depends on God’s will.”
“Congratulations!” She was extremely surprised, but she still congratulated her first.
“I have never seen anyone who can serialize after debuting. You are a genius, Higashino-kun.”
“Everyone says so, but what Miss Akimiya said makes me happiest.”
…
After Akimiya Akemi and Hibiki Higashino left, Takagi Kiko stopped. She lowered her head and asked Minami Chiharu in a low voice, “What is the relationship between Higashino and Mr. Akimiya?”
Nan Qianqiu was puzzled, “Teacher and student? Is there any relationship?”
“It’s not like teachers and students,” Takagi Kiko shook her head. “I often see Akimiya-sensei sneaking into Higashino Hibiki’s room secretly.”
“I’m taking tutoring,” Yoshii Sanhisa stepped forward to explain, “Higashino-kun’s grades have improved a lot. He must be studying hard behind the scenes.”
“Tutoring?” Takagi Kiko shook her head, “I don’t understand you when I look at a little virgin like you. The two of them don’t look like they are tutoring.”
“Virgin…” Yoshiiyama suppressed his blush, but could not refute.
“It’s really true.” After seeing his expression, Takagi Kiko was stunned for a moment, and then smiled charmingly, “It’s so cute, Yamaku-kun.”
“Senior Takagi!” Shan Jiu was furious.
She didn’t care, “It’s cute even when you’re angry.”
“Stop teasing Yoshii-kun,” Minami Chiharu turned around and glanced at the direction Akimiya Akemi and Higashino Hibiki were leaving, “It’s not good to say these things behind your back. As for their relationship, we’ll know when they decide to tell us. ”
…
Higashino Hibiki was celebrating Takagi Kiko’s admission to Tokyo University. In the Go club, even though it was dark, there were still many people playing chess.
“Are you using Xiu Ce style? Xiu Ce style is outdated.”
“What does it matter? It would be interesting to try the invincible routine from more than a hundred years ago.”
“makes sense.”
Xiaochun came to Qiyuan because he had to work during the day and only had time at night.
Seeing that the people he usually played chess with had already started playing chess, he watched for a while and felt a little bored. The opponent’s strength was too poor. It was like Shen Zhenzhen watching War Eagle play chess, and his chess skills could easily be ruined.
After having nothing to do, I picked up the jump and looked at it.
The little girl at the front desk saw it, came closer and said curiously: “Huh? I’ve never seen you reading a book like this before.”
Koharu replied: “The little brother named Hibiki Higashikata said that he will serialize it in this magazine. I want to see when it will be published.”
“Actually, I’ve been reading it recently,” said an old man named Kazuo who wears presbyopia. “It’s quite cheap. Such a thick book only costs more than 200 yen. But I can’t see clearly what is said in it.”
“The characters are small, the paper is rough, and the printing is very poor,” another old man nodded. He complained: “After I bought it, the cat at home used it as a newspaper and tore it up and played with it.”
One person said, “This magazine has nothing in mind for seniors.”
The little girl was very surprised. She never thought that “Weekly Shonen Jump” would be associated with the elderly.
“Did you all buy it?” she asked.
“yes.”
“My grandson often watched it, and I watched it later.”
“It’s quite interesting to just look at the pictures without looking at the content.”
The little girl was puzzled, “Why? Jump serialization is very difficult. Only one person out of 10,000 people can succeed. It’s probably this level of difficulty.”
She felt that in the minds of these old people, Hibiki Higashino would definitely be serialized.
Kazuo stood up with a serious expression, “Those of us just hope that Go can continue to be passed down. Such a good culture cannot be discontinued in today’s materialistic world.”
“I’m not so noble. I hope strangers can play chess. I can’t stand seeing these old guys all the time.”
“Maybe I can get my grandson interested in Go. Don’t kids like comics the most?”
“Idleness is also idleness.”
They explain.
“It must be possible,” Xiaochun stood up, “Or rather, it has already started!”
He stared closely at the page where “Soul of Chess” was selected.
