Chapter 115 Learning a New Style
"Soul of Chess" has entered a new world.

The haze since the disappearance of Sawei Fujiwara has been swept away.

The pace of the manga is accelerating. In the previous game, you can draw two to three chapters.Now in one episode, there are multiple matches going on.

Readers enjoyed it very much, Shindo Hikaru continued to compete.

He was still at the beginning stage, and he was considered by the third-tier players that he should not be a player of this stage.

He is getting stronger and stronger, and he is constantly being known.

In addition to Taya Ryo, there is also Shindo Hikaru.

The game between the two of them will come sooner or later.

Readers are also looking forward to this day with great anticipation.

……

In December, Akemi Akimiya was very curious, Higashino acquired a habit, he was always watching the NBA.

I never read it before, and basically spend my time drawing manga.Occasionally, when I am free, I will read the booklets of "Dragon Ball", "Baseball Heroes", and "City Hunter" to learn the skills of storyboarding.

Now it's time to go crazy.

Watching the NBA, it seems like I used to study in high school, with dark circles under my eyes, exhausted, and the comics are a bit useless.

However, his eyes were shining, and their sharpness was astonishing.

This made Akemi Akimiya understand that Higashino Hibiki is not depraved, but that he is planning for his next work.

Just like in "The Garden of Words and Leaves", using stippling to paint the background.

Now he took out the sketches and paintbrush, and drew the muscle lines according to the NBA star.

At the beginning, I was still a little unaccustomed, but after 3 to 5 days, I made great progress.

It's been going on for almost a month now.

Before the painting style changed, it became more realistic, with the addition of lines, it is more full of tension, and it feels like the characters are really moving.

This state made Akemi Akimiya worry about him, but also moved her.

I don't change my original intention, I love comics.

……

Higashino tried to draw characters from multiple camera positions, reflecting the movements of the characters from different angles, making them appear more three-dimensional.

Other sports comics have this pattern too, though they don't use it well.

He pondered carefully, hoping to reach the level of Inoue Takehiko's first-class painters in the middle and late stages.

He was obsessed with basketball and was losing weight day by day.

Akimi felt distressed when she saw it, so she stewed a bowl of vegetable and clam soup and handed it to Higashi Hibiki.

Higashino took it with both hands. The soup was still hot, so he put it down and showed off to Akemi Akimiya, "How is it? My drawing is not bad."

Akemi Qiugong nodded: "The progress is very fast, it's just..."

Pointing to the drawing paper, she said: "The perspective of the character is not drawn well, the more realistic style of painting must be complicated."

"Your character's chest doesn't bulge, and it looks discordant."

Higashino looked at the manga and nodded, it was indeed so.

"Look," Akimi picked up the g-pen and leaned over, her hair drooping, Higashino could smell the aroma of shampoo.

He looked closer.

Akemi Akimiya drew two strokes, and the effect was immediately different.

"How is it?" Turning his head to look at Higashino, his lips accidentally touched.

"Well," Akimi retreated, covering her lips and blushing, "what are you doing so close?"

"Of course I read it carefully." Higashino looked at the drawing carefully, expressing that he had no bad intentions, "Teacher Akimiya taught it, and it really is very different."

"Hmph." Akemi Qiugong stomped her feet.

Higashino picked up the vegetable and clam soup, took a sip, and covered his narrowed eyes with a smile.

……

In January 1996, Sasaki came to sign the annual contract money.

He was accompanied by Kazuhiko Torishima.

Oda was very nervous, he kept tidying up the room, sprayed the air freshener, turned on the air conditioner, and prepared fruits and vegetables.

Higashino Hibiki was very helpless, "As for mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people like this?"

"That's Mr. Kazuhiko Torishima." Oda was taken aback, "The person who unearthed Mr. Toriyama, without him, I wouldn't be able to see "Dragon Ball"! And stopped Mr. Toriyama from ending several times "Dragon Ball" is simply my benefactor, I have to thank him very much."

The person Oda is indeed a fit fan.

Ordinary readers don't care about the author's editor, after all, they are behind-the-scenes workers.

Even most readers don't care who the author is.Just focus on "Dragon Ball", no matter who drew it.

There are still too few like Oda.

Akemi Akimiya stood aside, she was holding a rag, unable to start for a while.

Oda cleaned it so cleanly, it even had a sparkling feeling in the comics.

Yoshii Sanjiu also felt that he had no way to set foot, and felt that if he was not careful, he would defile this clean and pure land.

"You're still amazing." Higashino gave him a thumbs up.

Oda was not ashamed, but grinned proudly.

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

Higashino opened the door and saw Kazuhiko Torishima's long face.

He was carrying a lot of things in his hands, and he was very polite.

Sasaki stood beside him, his hands empty, his face expressionless.

Higashino Hibiki was taken aback, the boss took the gift, with such a sincere attitude, there must be something to ask for.

He glanced at Sasaki, who blinked.

Higashino realized.

He enthusiastically accepted the gift and welcomed the two into the door.

"Mr. Torishima, you are so kind, you even took a special gift."

Kazuhiko Torishima smiled all over his face, "I want to thank Mr. Akino Tori for his dedication to jump."

The two were very polite and asked each other to enter the door first.

Until finally Sasaki couldn't bear it anymore, he stepped in first, and the two people behind him stopped being humble and walked into the room one after another.

Torishima Kazuhiko sniffed, and there was a sweet smell in the air.

Looking at the environment again, it is really clean.

Immediately, there was a feeling of being flattered.

"It turns out that Bird Akino loves me so much."

Glancing at Higashino Hibiki, his gaze softened.

I feel that no matter what happens today, it will not hurt the relationship between the two of them.

At this moment, Oda jumped up.

He took the "Dragon Ball" booklet and asked Kazuhiko Torishima to sign it.

Torishima Kazuhiko saw this young man adoring him so much, and immediately became happier.

An editor like him is rarely admired by readers.

Just why Dragon Ball?

He looked at the booklet, and it turned out that it was when Piccolo made his debut.

Piccolo's slender cheeks and raised cheekbones are somewhat similar to his own.

"You are?" he asked hesitantly.

"My...my name is Oda, Eiichiro Oda." Oda was nervous and happy, "When I was a child, I watched "Dragon Ball" and strived to be a manga artist. Now I am working as an assistant with Mr. Akino, looking forward to one day being able to Serial!"

Kazuhiko Torishima pursed his lips helplessly, it was indeed Akira Toriyama's fault again.

He turned his head and whispered to Sasaki, "Being the editor of Akira Toriyama will be regarded as an enemy by him."

It's petty to vent anger in comics.

　Thanks to my wife, come and see the remaining 500 point coins as a reward.
