Full-time cartoonist - #41 - Chapter 41 I am the author!

The first episode of “The Soul of Chess” ranked second in Xiao Zheng’s performance.

As a newcomer, Hibiki Higashino is already very good.

On Monday, he saw the comic “The Sun Murder Case.”

At the beginning, someone dies, and the protagonist, as a police officer, comes to investigate.

Before the story started, Hibiki Higashino paid attention to Arai’s painter.

His performance in jumps was mediocre, and he was often cut short after being serialized for a long time. He was once jokingly called the King of Cut-offs.

But his painting skills are really strong. Even the rough paper on the jump allows Hibiki to clearly see the micro-expressions of the characters.

Not to mention perspective, it is just the foundation of Arai.

Delicate and refined, it hardly looks like a weekly comic.

Hibiki Higashino was brought into the rhythm of the comic, and before he knew it, he had finished reading it.

“On Jump, mystery comics are not popular, they are niche works,” Akimiya Akemi analyzed while pinching her chin. “I wonder if Yamamura’s comics can persist – being known and attracted by readers of other comics magazines who are used to mystery comics. Don’t be cut in half before you come here.”

“He is different,” Hibiki Higashino analyzed. “He is a Naoki Award winner. He is serialized in Jump and has been reported by the media. He has a reader base and traffic, so his performance will not be bad.”

On Tuesday, Sasaki informed that the quick result of “Soul of the Game” was fifth place.

Because it is a transitional chapter, Shindo Hikaru took Sawei to the Go school to learn modern Go and provide some simple science knowledge to the readers.

There is no extra information except that the man closest to “God’s Hand” in Japan, Taya Yukiyo, appears, and Taya Ryo is bitter about losing to Shindo Hikaru.

So it is understandable to get fifth place.

But on Saturday, Xiaozheng’s score dropped to seventh, which was already a very bad situation.

In contrast, “Murder in the Sun” turned out to be number one.

Very disparity.

After Akimiya Akemi learned about it, she was a little worried. When Hibiki was sitting watching TV, she took the tea and sat next to Hibiki.

“Are you going to attend the book signing tomorrow? Why not use the extra time to revise the plot of the comic.”

“Or redraw Chapter 4 and make it more refined.”

Hibiki Higashino shook his head and watched the program “Super Transformation” on TV without any distractions, not caring about the dilemma at all.

“It’s amazing, it actually simulated a roller coaster!”

He couldn’t help but applaud. This variety show was so interesting and full of imagination.

“Higashiya, you guy!” Akimiya Akemi patted the table and glared at him, “Be serious!”

Higashikata turned around in surprise, “What’s going on? Teacher Akimiya, why are you so angry?”

Akimiya Akemi said sternly: “How much effort and effort have you put in to be able to be serialized in Jump? Why don’t you cherish it? If it is cut in half by the work.”

“Higashiya, you will regret it!”

“I am the author!” Higashino replied sternly.

“Um?”

Seeing Akimiya Akemi’s face turned purple with anger, Higashino Hibiki laughed and raised his hands in surrender, “I was just joking, calm down, calm down.”

He pointed to his mobile phone and explained: “The second episode of “The Soul of the Game” ranked seventh. Mr. Sasaki was not in a hurry. This result was within his and my expectations, so there is no need to panic.”

Akimiya Akemi’s face softened, she punched Hibiki Hibiki’s chest lightly, picked up the tea and left quickly.

“My tea!”

“Huh, even if I pour it out, I won’t give it to you to drink.”

Higashino Hibiki shook his head helplessly, feeling that his status was not guaranteed after marriage.

The next day, ten o’clock in the morning.

Hibiki Higashino and Akemi Akimiya took the subway and went to a book signing by Mr. Fumi Shibamon at the Mandarake Ikebukuro branch.

Seeing Higashino Hibiki buying a copy of “Tokyo Love Story” in advance, Akimiya Akemi looked at him with strange eyes.

Dongye Xiang was thick-skinned and didn’t care.

While waiting in line at Teacher Fumi Chamon’s book signing, Hibiki Higashino was extremely envious.

After waiting in a long line for more than ten minutes, I still haven’t arrived yet.

There are couples, there are couples, and everyone is looking forward to it.

Hibiki Higashino hopes that one day he can hold such a signing event.

“You can definitely do it.” Akimiya Akemi seemed to understand his thoughts, clenching her fists and cheering, “You are a genius, a super genius who can serialize at the age of seventeen.”

Then she sighed again, remembering her own tragic creativity.

Higashino Hibiki smiled broadly, “Thank you, Miss Akimiya, I believe there will be such a day.”

Honoka Takasaka once said, “One day… one day we will definitely fill this place up!”

Of course Higashino Hibiki has such self-confidence, and he is very confident.

“I will definitely become a popular cartoonist and a pillar of Jump!”

Akimiya Akemi looked at the person in front of her and almost forgot that he was just a high school student.

Really confident and high-spirited.

It’s enviable.

After a few more minutes, the two of them finally arrived.

Teacher Chai Menwen is a middle-aged woman who looks very kind, gentle and dignified.

When he saw that what Higashino Hibiki handed over was not the “White Paper on Love”, he still signed it.

When she raised her head curiously, she suddenly laughed.

“Qiugong, is this your boyfriend? He’s quite handsome.”

“No, no, no,” Akimiya Akemi shook her head like a rattle, “He is also a cartoonist, and I am now his assistant. And he and I were assistants to Toriyama Akira-sensei together. We are just friends.”

Higashikata looked at her in surprise and didn’t even say she was a student.

“Aki Toriyama?” Chamon Fumi glanced at Hibiki Toriyama, pinched his chin and asked, “Are you Toriyama Akira? The author of “The Soul of the Game”.”

Dong Yexiang nodded.

“I have read “The Soul of the Game”. Although it has just started to be serialized, the story is delicate and very similar to the female writer’s style. It is a very interesting comic. And I like the character Fujiwara Sae very much.” Fumi Shibamon took out a signature pad , pushed in front of Higashikata Hibiki.

“Please sign your autograph for me too, and work hard on your future creations. I want to continue reading.”

Higashikata lay on his stomach and signed his name eloquently.

It uses Chinese characters and regular script, which is straight and can be read through the back of the paper.

“Thank you very much.” Chai Menwen packed up carefully and looked at the anxious crowd behind Higashino Hibiki. “I have to continue working. Let’s talk next time.”

After the two left, she thought while signing.

“Mirai Tori Akino… Akino, what can we be if we’re not a couple? Pfft, you’re still pretending to be friends, that little brat Akimiya, what are you pretending to be?”

She smiled and learned an interesting gossip.

“They obviously match well, just like me back then.”

When she debuted, she was the assistant of manga artist Hirokane Kenshi. Later, she got married and they have always been harmonious.

“It’s great to be young.”

…

After leaving Chamonwen’s book signing, Hibiki and Akimiya Akemi went to the amusement park. At the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Hibiki looked at the scenery outside the window and Akimiya Akemi beside him, and sighed happily.

“That’s great, now.”
