Full-time cartoonist - #86 - Chapter 86 I don’t know how many people are called emperors and how many people are called kings

“It will be finished in May!”

Higashino Hibiki put down the book in his hand, and after answering the phone, his voice suddenly became loud.

Oda was surprised, what was going to end?

He held the cake and listened carefully.

The benefits of “Toriakino Mirai Studio” are very good, you can order takeout from nearby stores as much as you like.

He has gained a lot of weight recently and no longer looks as handsome as he did in high school.

So Oda decided to only eat cake once a week and never eat more.

“Are you surprised?” Akira Toriyama said with a smile.

He held the phone and leaned against the wall, his expression very relaxed.

It has been serialized for a long time since 1984, and now in 1995, I really don’t know how it has survived.

Now it’s finally over.

He was radiant, like a completely different person.

“No,” Hibiki glanced at Oda and replied: “Sensei has been very distressed because of the long-term serialization. He can’t draw the works he likes. He drew them entirely for Jump and Bandai and the others.

After understanding this, I knew that this day would come sooner or later. I have been waiting for a long time too. “

“Teacher?” Oda’s ears twitched.

“Hahaha, you still understand me,” Akira Toriyama smiled happily, “Compared with drawing “Dragon Ball” and “Arale”, I prefer the years when I was designing characters for “Dragon Quest”. At least I could enjoy it. creation.”

“Actually, according to the original plan, it should have been completed last month.” Akira Toriyama said, “But you gave me some inspiration, so I took two more months to paint.”

“This is my honor.” Hibiki Higashino said: “But it’s really a pity that the serialization started in January last year. The content of 70 chapters has not surpassed “Dragon Ball” and won the first place of Xiaozheng.”

“”Dragon Ball”!” Oda was shocked, and with a “pop”, his beloved cake fell to the ground.

Oda didn’t care about the cake. What did he hear?

Is “Dragon Ball” coming to an end?

He covered his chest with his hands, feeling so heartbroken that he almost suffocated.

This is the work that has accompanied him since he grew up. It is his favorite comic and it is the leader who took him on the path of drawing comics.

As a result, is it going to end?

It was unbelievable in my heart, as if I was in a dream.

“It is true that the recent plot is progressing very quickly…” He lowered his head and murmured to himself, “It will take at least 20 years for this kind of thing to be completed…”

He shed tears and was so sad that it was beyond words.

Akira Toriyama was laughing loudly, “I won’t have a chance in the future. I want to finish all the competitions with Komasa’s first place.”

“That’s easy to say,” Hibiki Higashi shook his head, “But the teacher does have this ability.”

He was also very sad inside. He was happy for Toriyama Akira, but also sad that he could no longer see his long series.

“The Akira Toriyama from now on will be the real Akira Toriyama.”

He didn’t think about anything. After saying this, Higashikata said goodbye and hung up the phone.

“Huh~” Higashino breathed a long sigh of relief.

We are entering the post-Dragon Ball era.

The glory days of jump are about to pass, and so is my future.

He suddenly felt like the wind was blowing and the clouds were flying.

Heroes fight for hegemony and conquer the Central Plains.

Who is the next pillar of jump?

He glanced at the dumbfounded Oda and frowned, “Why are you still dazed? Clean the floor quickly.”

It’s April, and it’s easy to attract ants and flying insects.

“…Yes…” Oda finally reacted.

He swept the floor, and after a while, he raised his head and asked reluctantly: “Is “Dragon Ball” coming to an end?”

Hibiki Higashino held “Slam Dunk Boy” in his hand and studied it. He looked at the female character in it and squinted his eyes. How could he draw it so beautifully?

“Huh?” He didn’t hear clearly.

“I mean,” Oda said very unhappy, “Is it “Dragon Ball” that is going to be finished?”

“Yeah.” Hibiki nodded perfunctorily.

“It’s really hard for me to understand how calm Mr. Tori Akino is.” After wiping the floor, he held a sweet rag and rushed to Hibiki Tono.

“As long as you serialize it, you will understand.” Hibiya Hibiki replied.

Afterwards, he looked at the painting and marveled at it. Today’s cartoonists are really good at it.

Exquisite, delicate, full of craftsman spirit, the workload is visible to the naked eye.

How terrible.

Oda said nothing.

At this moment, he really wanted to become a cartoonist and serialize a work.

…

If “Dragon Ball” is going to be finished in one month, there won’t be much time left for Hibiki Hibiki.

One episode has been submitted to Jump, and the content is currently half drawn.

So the only things that can really be decided are the next two chapters.

He decided to delete part of the daily plot of the original work and go directly to the climax.

on Monday.

Shinoda 4th Dan bought this jump, he has been looking forward to it for a long time.

Because every time a new person becomes a professional chess player, there will be a “new junior league.”

This is a game between the top chess player, the ninth dan, or the holder of titles such as “chess master” and “honinbo”, and the first dan in Yugen.

Shinoda is very curious, who will Xiaoguang’s opponent be?

After he bought the magazine, he simply sat on a bench in a nearby park, reading in silence while enjoying the spring wind carrying the scent of cherry blossoms.

“Hikaru’s opponent turns out to be Taya Yukihiro!” Shinoda adjusted his glasses excitedly.

Taya Xingyang is the holder of five of the seven titles.

He is the most powerful chess player in Japan in the comics and the top chess player in the world.

In modern times, the person closest to the realm of “God’s Hand”.

He is also the invincible character created at the beginning of “Soul of Chess”.

This character clearly came to compete with Fujiwara Sawei. Both sides were the strongest chess players of their time.

There will be a chess match one day. Shinoda has been looking forward to this match for a long time, and it seems that he can already see it.

Fujiwara Sawei looked at Taya Yukihiro and sat down in the battle position with Shindo Hikaru.

His eyes are piercing, and he really wants to be one of black and white.

It was no longer possible to hear Xiaoguang’s voice asking him to get up, and only the figure of Taya Xinghi could be seen in his eyes.

It wasn’t until Taya Yukihiro asked Xiaoguang, “What’s wrong?” that he realized that this game belonged to Xiaoguang.

So he apologized to Xiaoguang, stood up with tears in his eyes, and walked aside lonely.

In this match, due to the huge difference in strength, the freshmen will be given 5 and a half goals to follow, and the black ones will go first.

Shinoda Fourth Dan understands that with such a huge advantage, with Fujiwara Sae’s strength, he can easily defeat Taya Yukihiro.

At that time, big chaos will definitely occur.

The tone of “Soul of Chess” will also change.

Therefore, his vision dimmed, and he should not be able to see this game.

I felt a little lost for a moment.

However, Shindo Hikaru is a very smart child, and he quickly thought of paying attention.

If Zuo Wei plays chess, he will have a big advantage. Then use the 15-purpose gap to make up for this advantage and turn it into a weakness.

His strength will not be noticed by others, and he can also let Zuo Wei and Ta Ya Xinghi fight.
