Full-time cartoonist - #91 - Chapter 91 Works Tour

There are still two episodes left before the end of “Dragon Ball”.

At this time, Toriyama Akira’s heart was no longer on this work.

He is on a tour of his works and recently visited Tokyo.

Hibiki Higashino was specially invited.

The location turned out to be the Qiugong Art Museum.

Higashikata felt numb for a moment. He had to go to the teacher’s invitation.

But once you get there, you have to face Mr. Akimiya.

He felt very uneasy.

…

“I won’t go, I won’t go,” Akimiya Akemi shook her head like a rattle.

This actually made Higashikata breathe a sigh of relief.

So, he came here alone.

Ah, no, there was Oda beside him. Oda took a bath, took care of his hair, and took good care of it.

Hearing that he was going to see Akira Toriyama, he stared at Hibiki Higashino with pitiful eyes for a whole day.

It would be fine if she was a beautiful woman, but it was really unbearable for Hibiki Hibiki to see a greasy little fat guy like this.

So he agreed.

On Sunday, the exhibition of Akira Toriyama’s works opened as expected.

Higashikata Higashikata came to the scene.

The scene was filled with gongs and drums, firecrackers blasting, red flags waving, and huge crowds of people.

“As expected of the great Lord Toriyama,” Oda opened his mouth, “There are so many people.”

There were tens of thousands of spectators at the scene.

How long does this have to wait in line?

Suddenly I felt like watching a giant panda.

Akira Toriyama is a middle-aged greasy man, is this what he is?

Fortunately, there is a VIP channel for Higashino Hibiki, and only invited people can enter.

After reporting his name, Hibiki entered the exhibition hall without queuing.

Inside are all paintings by Akira Toriyama.

Even the strange bird he drew when he first met Akira Toriyama was there.

There are also color drawings for “Dragon Ball” and “Arale”, as well as game setting drawings for “Dragon Quest” and “Journey of Time”.

The large ones are hung on the wall.

This is Akira Toriyama’s accumulation over more than 20 years, and there are a lot of them.

Moreover, the G-pen and watercolor pen are used superbly, which looks particularly shocking.

Each imaginative work simply makes the audience feel like they are in heaven.

“So…so awesome!” Oda was like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden for the first time, and she didn’t know where to look for a while.

Higashino Hibiki walked quietly, carefully savoring Toriyama Akira’s ideas and techniques.

After all, Higashino Hibiki only stayed under him for a month.

What I learned is more basic stuff.

He had never looked at Akira Toriyama’s paintings with much concentration.

Until he stopped in front of a painting.

This is a very abrupt painting, completely different in style from other works.

No magical colors, no machinery, no exotic animals.

Just a little boy, happily teasing some birds. Even the style of painting has changed. Somewhat like children’s drawings.

“Yes, I drew this based on your painting back then.”

Akira Toriyama spoke from behind him.

“But I still haven’t drawn the innocent senses.”

He shook his head regretfully.

“Why are you here now? Shouldn’t you be accompanying others?”

A member of the Yomiuri Shimbun who held the event, or Mr. Akimiya, the owner of the museum.

“They’re standing by.”

Toriyama Akira pointed in the direction. Just ten meters away, several people were reading the color manuscript.

Special focus.

One look at the aura is very different.

An old man in his fifties was surrounded in the middle. His beard and hair were all white, and he looked particularly majestic. Hibiki thought he looked familiar.

“She looks a lot like Akimiya-kun, doesn’t she?” Akira Toriyama asked.

It turns out that he is Akimiya Akemi’s father.

Dong Yexiang turned his head and did not look at him carefully.

He looked at the color manuscripts in the room and said to Akira Toriyama: “I feel that the teacher is no longer just a cartoonist. He has transcended this system and reached a higher realm.”

“Just like the god of comics Osamu Tezuka-sensei, or Shotaro Ishimori-sensei.”

“The pursuit of more things and the search for more possibilities amazes me.”

He looked over step by step and saw Akira Toriyama’s continuous thinking and improvement on the road of comics.

The continual progress of his work is evident right before his eyes.

“Why are you so good at talking all of a sudden?” Akira Toriyama was puzzled. You don’t look like his assistant, Higashino-kun.

Compared with before, he has grown a lot and looks more like Tori Akino Mirai.

“Now I look at your works from the perspective of a cartoonist,” Hibiki Higashino said, “so I understand the gap very well, so I am very emotional.

However, Akira Toriyama-sensei, in the remaining two chapters, I will definitely surpass you and get the first place in Xiaozheng! “

“The remaining two episodes? It turns out that “Dragon Ball” is not over yet.” Toriyama realized, “I’m sorry, I’ve been busy with other things, so I’m not sure about this aspect.”

Hibiki’s pupils shrank sharply, this guy’s words were too irritating.

Akira Toriyama brought a gift bag from the side and handed it to Hibiki Higashikata.

Higashino Hibiki took it, “I just opened it and read it.”

“Well, let’s see.”

When you open it, you will see that it is a framed collection, about 34×25 in size. The content is Akira Toriyama’s new painting: the cover of the venue commemorative edition of the album “Akira Toriyama’s World”.

This is a tank-like aircraft with pencil-tip legs. There are two people sitting on it, one is an Indian boy who controls it, and the other is a girl in cowboy clothes who controls the weapon and attacks backwards.

Like Akira Toriyama’s usual style, it is full of unlimited imagination, wonderful storytelling and detailed depiction of the story.

“Will everyone have it, or is it just for me?” Higashino Hibiki asked.

Akira Toriyama’s expression of “there’s something wrong with you” and the work he put in a lot of effort to draw must be for collection.

it is more than words.

Higashino Hibiki put the painting away, “Thank you very much, I will keep it well. When I get it, I will definitely sell it for a big price. 100,000 yen, 150,000 yen or something like that.”

“Hey, how can you sell the gift the teacher gave you?” Akira Toriyama was very angry.

Higashikata waved his hand, “Just kidding, this is my baby.”

Toriyama Akira nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, that’s right.”

“By the way,” Hibiki Higashi looked around, “Where did Oda-san go?”

Before I knew it, I was separated from him.

The wild Toriyama Akira he wanted to see so much appeared, but he himself disappeared.

Just as he was thinking this, Mr. Akimiya walked over, and Higashino Hibiki didn’t even notice.

“I have a new appreciation for comics.” Wearing a kimono, he folded his hands on his chest and looked at the works on site with complicated eyes.

“It transcends the single form of comics and has become a part of Japanese culture. It has penetrated into every aspect, which is really amazing.”

Akira Toriyama, “Thank you very much.”

He became reserved again, at a loss as to what to say.

Then he pointed at Hibiki Higashino next to him and said: “This is my assistant, Tori Akino Mirai-kun, who is also serializing comics now. He is very powerful.”

Dongye Xiang was stunned, why did he suddenly get involved?

He seemed to have become humbled when he saw Brother Xun’s Runtu in middle age.

Hibiki Higashino complimented, “Mr. Akimiya, I have admired you for a long time. I am a student at Musashino Art University. I recognized your works in the Chinese painting class. They are really full of artistry and are treasures of Japan.”

“Yes,” Mr. Akimiya nodded.

Toriyama Akira continued: “When my daughter was my assistant, Toriyama-kun was also there, ah, it really helped a lot.”

Then, Mr. Akimiya stared at Hibiki Higashino.

Hibiya Hibiki felt like he was going to the toilet. The last moment of excitement made his whole body tremble.

Fortunately, Mr. Akimiya quickly turned around and said to Akira Toriyama: “Angmei is a very stubborn child. Please take care of her at first.”

“It’s because I was taken care of by him. Akimiya-kun is very perseverant. If he continues to work hard like this, he will definitely become a manga artist in the future.” Akira Toriyama said.

Mr. Akimiya did not retort and walked towards the other side.

…

An hour later, Higashino Hibiki met the reluctant Oda at the place agreed in advance.

Just like you can only watch giant pandas for one minute, you can watch Toriyama Akira for up to an hour, leaving room for latecomers.

After getting together with Hibiki Higashino, Oda talked a lot.

Starting from Arale’s color manuscript, when talking about “Dragon Ball Z”, her mouth seemed to be borrowed, nagging and refusing to listen.

“At the work exhibition, I saw a man of similar age. He was also a big fan of Toriyama-sensei. We chatted for a long time, so I accidentally got separated from you, sensei.”

Dongye Xiang didn’t speak, his ears were tired of listening, and he didn’t want to move his mouth.

“By the way, teacher, what is that you are carrying?”

Higashino Hibiki handed him the collection.

“I opened it and took a look.” He took out the drawing, his expression was colorful, and finally he said excitedly: “What a wonderful work, it must be the new work of teacher Akira Toriyama! Teacher, how do you own it!”

“Oh! I remembered, it is also being sold on site, but only a small number of people are qualified, maybe one among hundreds of people. It is a very rare work.”

“They are two paintings,” he said with a smile on his face, “One is yours, teacher, and the other one is?”

Hibiki’s scalp was numb. Oda must have talked too much nonsense. In the comics, he would be killed by the author sooner or later.

He had to explain, “This was given to me by Akira Toriyama-sensei. The other painting was not for you, but for Miss Akimiya. We were working together as assistants in Akira Toriyama’s studio at the time.”

Oda lowered his head in frustration, he really wanted it.

It’s like Xiao Heizi wants the eggs laid by pigeons.

“Wait, you met Mr. Toriyama Akira?” He reacted and looked at his exquisite clothes. “I spent so much effort just to meet Mr. Toriyama, but I missed it. It’s so unlucky. !”

“Who told you to run around? If you were there, I could help you get such a collection.” Higashino Hibiki said helplessly.

Like a husky, let go and disappear.

Once Oda hears it, don’t be struck by lightning.

He lowered his head, frustrated, and said no more.

Dongye’s ears cleared and he smiled.
