Full-time cartoonist - #356 - Chapter 353 I really can’t let you go! Wow!

“Some people say that Tori Akino, the novelist, must be the number one cartoonist in jumps.”

Sasaki wanted to laugh a little, but forced himself to speak seriously.

Hibiki Higashikata was confused, “A long story about Akino? What is this?”

“It was Tori Akino who drew the long-length novel that became the first jumper,” Sasaki explained. “Every one of your comics always ends in a place that readers didn’t expect, so there will always be people saying that if Tori Akino’s If the comics are serialized for two more years, miracles will surely happen.”

“Soul of the Chess” ended after Kondo Hikari got rid of the shadow caused by Sae becoming a Buddha, “Slam Dunk” Shohoku stopped at the top 16, “Death Note” Yue Yagami and L died successively, and the now very popular “Magical Girl” Madoka” is also coming to an end.

This has to make readers sigh.

The work you just fell in love with is about to end.

“Can’t Akino Tori learn from Oda?” Sasaki spread his hands, “Anyway, that’s it, I’ve said it…”

Sasaki’s voice.

“Ah!” Higashino Hibiki was surprised. He quickly drew inferences, “According to this, there should be Akira Toriyama who is diligent, Yoshihiro Togashi quits gambling, Lightyear Shimabukuro who is not a womanizer, and Kubo who leads the fashion competition. …”

As we all know, Akira Toriyama is lazy. The reason why most of the backgrounds in “Dragon Ball” are rural is because he didn’t want to draw cumbersome cities.

Cell has too many spots on his body, which makes Toriyama very annoying.

Yoshihiro Togashi’s playing mahjong and wasting his career is something that readers have always criticized.

Shimabukuro Mitsunen’s manga was cut in half because of his extramarital affair with a female high school student.

The characters in Kubo’s “Bleach” are very fashionable, and their clothes are all very tasteful, and they are second to none in Jump.

“The Tutor” and “The Exorcist Boy” created by female cartoonists are both inferior.

“You,” Sasaki pointed at Hibiki Hibiki and couldn’t laugh or cry. He joked about Akino Mirai, but he stopped him.

However, he also understood that it was inevitable for cartoonists to have flaws and could not be forced.

Otherwise, the entire jump will have to be adjusted.

…

Yuki Kajiura, Japanese songwriter and music producer, was born on August 6, 1965 in Tokyo, Japan.

He was responsible for the songs and soundtrack of the hit anime “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” a few years ago.

Faced with Hibiki Higashino’s request, Madhouse found this talented woman in the Japanese animation industry.

This is fate, Hibiki Higashikata lamented.

Because Kajiura Yukimoto is the music producer of the “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” animation.

The script by Gen Urobuchi, the director Akiyuki Shinbo, and the music Yuki Kajiura all complement each other to create the animation miracle of “Madoka”.

But it’s normal. There are many music masters in Japan. But in terms of cost performance and a composer suitable for the style of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”, it has to be Yuki Kajiura.

“I need a strong sense of fate, epicness, and narrative. The melody must be consistent with the plot, including despair, struggle, hope, panic… and so on.”

“I…” Kajiura Yuki was under great pressure.

This man asks for too much.

But……

“It’s all up to you!” Before Kajiura Yuki could speak, Hibiki Hibiki bent down.

“Teacher, you agreed!” Araki Tetsuro was very excited.

He thought it would be a struggle.

“Because Mr. Kajiura is here,” Hibiki Higashino said, “I think there will be no problem.”

“The soundtrack of “Mobile Suit Gundam SEED” is great.”

…

Soon, news of the animation production of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” appeared in all major media.

“Hey, that’s great, what good news!”

“The supervisor is Tetsuro Araki, who was the supervisor of “Death Note”, so that’s no problem.”

“I hope you won’t disappoint us.”

“The manga is about to be completed and animation will be released…”

“Who told Mr. Tori Akino to finish so early…”

“Anyway, I really want Madoka to move!”

…

Ohuchi saw the news on the first floor, “Hey, Tori Akino-sensei’s manga is being animated again. He is such a prolific author.”

“The supervisor is Tetsuro Araki, what a pity.”

He was looking forward to the broadcast of the “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” anime, but was a little disappointed.

Recently, director Goro Taniguchi of Sunshine Company contacted him, hoping to serve as the original story writer and chief screenwriter of a work.

He already had an eyebrow at this work, which is roughly a spy drama.

“Death Note” has this aspect of the plot, and Araki Tetsuro’s handling of it is also very exciting. On the first floor, Okouchi is still thinking of recruiting Araki Tetsurou to join the team to handle this “Lelouch of the Rebellion” together.

Now it seems that it will have to wait until later.

In fact, he really wants to cooperate with Tetsuro Araki.

“I should be a good match for…Director Araki.”

…

“”Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is going to be animated! Oh!”

Toriyama Akira turned away in disgust. The child was getting older and older, which made him more and more upset.

“You’re so excited about a magical girl animation…it’s really…”

However, he often reads this comic. The background processing makes his scalp numb. Behind so many lines, there is such an amazing workload.

If you let him paint it, it will definitely be changed into a rural story.

The complex elements in the witch’s enchantment have also changed to become as vast as space.

Tori Akino didn’t take advantage of such a good opportunity to be lazy. He was still young and strong.

“Toriyama-sensei, are you paying attention to the ending of “Puella Magi Madoka Magica”?”

“Of course,” Akira Toriyama answered the phone. The other person was Nao Sasaki, the editor-in-chief of “Weekly Shonen Jump”.

He originally thought that Sasaki’s call was about his cooperation with Jump leader Eiichiro Oda to create comics. Unexpectedly, after saying hello, Sasaki mentioned his apprentice, Mirai Tori Akino.

“My children like it very much, and they often cry sadly recently.”

“Ah this…”

“Is that guy Higashino enjoying making readers cry? Is he being led astray by Hirohiko Araki?”

“Maybe, maybe not.”

As if he hadn’t said anything, Toriyama Akira looked at the receiver and said, “Editor, what’s the reason you’re calling?”

He didn’t know Sasaki very well.

“Actually,” Sasaki said, “After finishing “Madoka”, Toriakino-kun is ready to put the pen to paper…I…”

“Impossible! Absolutely impossible!” Akira Toriyama said flatly.

“Why did Dong Ye close the pen? He is so excited.”

Before I closed my pen, I was already driven crazy by Dragon Ball, so I can save as much time as possible with my pen.

The creation of “Madoka” is completed with excellence, and every manuscript is in perfect condition.

With Tori Akino’s mentality, how could he be in the same state before he closed the book?

Moreover, Tori Akino never told himself.

Sasaki was stunned, “This point was informed to me by Tori Akino-kun’s editor, Koji Yoshida. There should be no mistake.”

“There may be a misunderstanding.” Akira Toriyama said.

“Well, I disturbed Mr. Toriyama this time, I will find out.”

Sasaki hung up the phone.

“Closed?” Akira Toriyama looked at the TV, where the animated advertisement for “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” was still playing, and couldn’t help but shook his head, “How is that possible?”

…

Koji Yoshida took two deep breaths at the door of Higashino Hibiki’s house.

He still didn’t dare to go in.

After receiving the manuscript of “Madoka” this time, the work exchange between him and Hibiki Higashino was basically over.

After that, I worked on stand-alone books and animations, but I only came here occasionally, and I didn’t have the close contact that I have now as Mirai Tori Akino’s editor.

“This is the last contact.”

He felt uneasy.

“How am I going to face Tori Akino-sensei?”

“Editor Yoshida, what are you doing here?”

After Xiaohe got off work, he opened the door and saw a troubled Yoshida Koji.

“Ahem, Mr. Xiaohe,” Koji Yoshida organized his speech, “I’m about to go in.”

“It’s probably because “Puella Magi Madoka Magica” is over.” Xiaohe said firmly.

He felt this way too.

Today is his last day working at Tori Akino Studio.

From now on, I have to leave here again.

When will we collaborate again next time?

I don’t know if there is still a chance?

Xiaohe was a little disappointed, so he declined the invitation and left alone.

He wanted to be quiet.

As a result, he saw Koji Yoshida who felt the same as him.

They looked at each other and saw the bitterness in each other’s eyes.

“Mr. Xiaohe, if there is an opportunity for cooperation in the future, I will contact you.”

Hoshino Katsura is a girl and is not suitable to be a male assistant, otherwise Yoshida Koji would really want to introduce Xiaohe to Hoshino Katsura.

Such a senior assistant will definitely relieve Hoshino Kei’s pressure.

“Thank you.” Xiaohe said gratefully.

Yoshida Koji nodded and walked towards the living room.

“Wait…wait…” Xiaohe suddenly stopped him.

“Is there anything else?” Yoshida turned around and asked.

“Well… Editor Yoshida, if Mr. Tori Akino still needs an assistant here, please contact me!” Xiaohe touched his chest and said very seriously.

“I understand, if there is a next time…” Yoshida said in a heavy tone.

He walked towards the studio with his legs crossed.

…

Higashikata looked at the manuscript and sighed.

Every time he finished a work, it was like a friend leaving him, making him sigh with melancholy.

“Tori Akino-sensei, I’m coming in.” Yoshida knocked on the door.

“Please come in.” Dongye Xiang said.

“Where’s Mr. Akimiya?” Yoshida looked around.

“After the manuscript of Chapter 24 of “Madoka” was completed, she took her child home. Dad missed his grandson.”

That is…he and Tori Akino-sensei are the only two people in this family.

Yoshida’s nervousness relaxed a little.

Higashino Hibiki said with a smile: “This is the final manuscript of Madoka.”

“I started reading.” Yoshida took the manuscript and read it carefully.

“Yoshida-kun, our cooperation is coming to an end again. Just like in “Death Note”.”

“……Um.”

“You have made great progress during this period. From a reckless newcomer, you have grown into an editor who can bring positive benefits to cartoonists.”

“……Um.”

“I’m really glad that the previous editor was Mr. Sasaki and the current editor is you.”

“…”

“You can tolerate my willfulness, support me and help me in all aspects. Thank you, Yoshida-kun, you have worked so hard for so long.”

“I……”

Yoshida wants to say many things, words of gratitude, words of farewell, words of expressing feelings, words of admiration…

But his eyes gradually became blurred.

Tears are about to fall…

He couldn’t help but feel sad when he thought about a world without Tori Akino.

It was really foul of Mr. Tori Akino to say these words.

Yoshida turned around quickly, took the manuscript away, and started sobbing.

Dong Yexiang looked at him, his body hunched up and down, and he couldn’t help but make sucking sounds.

“Yoshida-kun, are you eating noodles?” Hibiki Higashino taught, “If you don’t listen to me, forget it, and you won’t check the manuscript. Now that you’re eating noodles, don’t dirty my manuscript!”

“Pfft! Ahem!” Yoshida Koji choked on his saliva and coughed violently.

“Teacher, you are really…”

He turned around, his face covered with snot.

“Haha,” Hibiki Higashino laughed, “It’s just the end of Madoka, why are you so sad?”

“I have worked hard for so long, so I should play music and dance to celebrate.”

“Yes, yes.” Yoshida nodded, “Please wait a moment.”

He put down the manuscript and walked to the bathroom.

…

Looking at Yoshida’s back, Higashino Hibiki shook his head.

This editor is too emotional.

He just said something sincere and moved him so much, and Hibiki Higashino was also… hurt.

The doorbell rang, interrupting his state of mind.

Higashino Hibiki came to the gate and found it was Sasaki.

“Editor, why are you here again? Didn’t you just come two days ago?”

He was confused.

Sasaki is a busy man.

“Is Yoshida here with you?”

“Well, what’s the matter?”

“I have something to ask him, but…” Sasaki looked directly at Higashi Hibiki, “It would be better to ask the teacher.”

“I wanted to surprise you, but I had to ask.”

…

In the bathroom, Yoshida Koji looked at himself with red eyes.

“It’s so dangerous.”

He almost fell to his knees and cried bitterly because of his emotional outburst.

“How can you be so sad in front of Teacher Tori Akino? Doesn’t this put pressure on the teacher?”

“Since the teacher wants to leave, he must have been preparing for a long time. You can’t make the teacher suffer because of me.”

He patted his cheek and told himself, “Yoshida, you have to smile, you have to smile.”

…

Higashino Hibiki and Sasaki stood at the door of the bathroom, waiting quietly.

“Did he say that?” Dong Yexiang smiled.

“He said that.” Sasaki, who usually had a serious face, now said through gritted teeth.

“So what are your plans, Mr. Sasaki? Regarding my departure.”

“Of course not!” Sasaki shook his head violently.

“I feel like you’re very excited.” Dongye smiled.

“…Yoshida is out.”

Koji Yoshida was in the bathroom, calming down, and it was not until five minutes later that he forced a smile and walked out of the bathroom.

“He actually dares to laugh!” Sasaki’s anger level increased.

“Wow!”

Yoshida, who was closing the door with his back turned, was frightened when he saw Hibiki and Sasaki behind him.

“Teacher, editor…do you also want to go to the toilet?” he asked nervously.

“Yoshida, come here.” Sasaki said coldly.

After saying that, he left.

That calm look prevented Yoshida Koji from noticing the panic before the volcano erupted.

“oh.”

Sasaki was in front, Hibiki Higashino and Koji Yoshida walked into the studio together.

Then the studio door creaked and slowly closed.

“boom!”
