On the cover of "Weekly Shonen Jump", a boy with red messy hair, tall and burly, arrogant like a bad boy, and wearing a basketball uniform appeared.

His name is Sakuragi Flower Road.

And this work, which won the front page of the first chapter, is called "Slam Dunk".

Mountain Village - Arai Studio.

Last Friday, Yamamura Shoudao handed over the plot of the next episode of "The Sun Murder Incident" to Mr. Arai in the form of words.

I retreated to conceive the plot of the next comic.

That's right, he also has plans to prepare for a new serialization.

Due to the reader base, this time it is still a reasoning comic.

Having learned the lessons from the last serialization, this time the new comics he wrote are more in line with the comic serialization style, and the story direction is closer to young readers.

On this basis, 5 unique props are set to add mystery and expand the scope of the frame.

In short, he is full of confidence.

Shancun plans to compete with "Slam Dunk" in half a year.

On Monday morning, he went to a nearby convenience store and saw a lot of people queuing up. He thought they were buying breakfast, and walked on, only to find out that they were buying "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Eh? What's going on?" Shancun was puzzled.

"The jump on the shelf is sold out," the waiter next to him told him, "The store manager has gone to the warehouse to pick it up, please wait a moment."

"Thank you." Yamamura nodded and stood at the end of the line in a daze.

He felt very strange, "Jump also has to line up to buy..."

In front of him, a high school student turned around and said, "Because everyone wants to see Mr. Akino's new work as soon as possible."

Yamamura's expression became serious.

He lowered his head, his eyes flickering.

"Tori Akino...is his popularity already this high?"

Thinking about my own "Sun Killing Incident", which was still ranked 5-9, the mountain village felt that time was not waiting for me.

He clenched his fists, "I want to serialize quickly!"

Not long after, the store manager came back, and after buying Jump, Yamamura went home.

"The first chapter is the front page, the editorial department really values ​​him."

Shancun couldn't wait to turn to "Slam Dunk" and read it.

……

The protagonist of "Slam Dunk" is Hanamichi Sakuragi, a freshman in Xiangbei High School, a man who failed to confess his love fifty times.

Sakuragi is a bad boy, and four bad friends Mito Yohei, Okusu Yuji, Noma Chuichiro and Takamiya Wang formed the Sakuragi Legion.

The girl who confessed recently said that he likes Oda, a member of the basketball club, which made Sakuragi hate basketball very much.

At this time, a lovely girl named Haruko Akagi appeared.Because Sakuragi is tall, he mistakenly thought he was playing basketball.

Because of the appearance of Haruko, Sakuragi began to yearn for basketball, or wanted to get in touch with Haruko through basketball.

Afterwards, Sakuragi learned that Haruko liked a handsome boy named Rukawa Kaede.

Because of some misunderstandings, Haruko mistakenly thought that Sakuragi was fighting with Rukawa Kaede, so she blamed Sakuragi.

The misunderstanding was resolved, and before Haruko was about to apologize to Sakuragi, Sakuragi was hit too hard and had a conflict with the captain of the Shohoku basketball team, Akagi Takenori, and a basketball duel started between the two.

……

"Tori Akino changed his previous style," Yamamura thought while resting his chin on his hands after reading it.

"The protagonist has become a bad boy, irritable, irritable, and loves to fight. The story also adds a funny element."

"Will this look welcome?"

It is difficult for Yamamura Morido to predict the results of "Slam Dunk", which is not his favorite genre.

"I thought it was going to be a film, the main character whose dream is to play professional basketball and has been working hard."

He shook his head and decided to continue observing.

……

Tokai University, Japan.

Akagi Kyoko went to the basketball court.

Sure enough, I saw Hua Chao practicing shooting.

"Damn it! That bastard Hua Chao!"

As the name suggests, the senior at the horse farm has a long face. He has never been in a relationship since he was a child, and he has never been popular with girls. He is extremely envious of Hua Chao's ability to have a beautiful girlfriend.

"Your girlfriend is here," he said unhappily beside him, "won't you go and accompany her?"

"Why do you want to accompany her?" Hua Chao said with a strange expression, "Obviously it's time for basketball practice."

Machang shut up.

Could it be that he was too attentive to girls before?So they don't cherish it, and maybe it will be much better after changing the way.

He decided not to lick the first-grade Lizi, the second-grade Ayou, the third-grade Haruhi, and the three seniors in the fourth-grade.

Half an hour later, Hua Chao's body was covered in sweat, he gasped for breath, and walked aside to rest.

Akagi Kyoko hastily took out a towel and mineral water, walked over and handed them to him.

"Thank you, Kyoko."

After Hua Chao said, he drank all the mineral water in one go.

"It's okay." Xiangzi narrowed his eyes with a smile, and after seeing that he had almost rested, he said, "Have you read Bird Akino's new manga? It's "Slam Dunk."

"Well," Hua Chao nodded, and when he heard Tiao Akino, he became interested, "Higashi's new manga, as he said, is about basketball."

"The prototype of Sakuragi Flower Road and Rukawa Kaede should be me."

"Tall, red-haired, and not very talkative."

"The prototype of Akagi Haruko is Kyoko, and the painting is exactly the same."

Akagi Kyoko was stunned, you are not good at talking?
"I'm not the same as Akagi Haruko, she is a nympho, I just like you." Akagi Kyoko said decisively.

She is just a face control, definitely not to the level of a nympho.

"Kyoko," Hua Chao's big hand stroked her head, making Akagi Kyoko close her eyes happily.

On the side of the racecourse, the teeth of envy are almost gritted.

"Will the grades of "Slam Dunk" be good?" Hua Chao asked, with doubts and fear in his expression, "I don't read manga, and I don't understand manga. If Higashino's grades are not good because of me, then I'm so sorry for him."

When they met at the gymnasium that day, he hadn't seen Higashi Higashi for a long time, and when he was happy, he asked Higashino to draw basketball comics.

Up to now, Higashino has actually drawn basketball comics, which makes Hana Chao uneasy.

"Tori Akino-sensei, it will be fine." Akagi Kyoko comforted him, "When I read this manga, I couldn't stop laughing. It will definitely be liked by many people."

"Are you guys talking about "Slam Dunk"?" Ma Chang walked over and said, "There were no basketball-themed comics on Jump before, because there were too few people who liked basketball. So..."

After hesitating, he said, "Even if it's Bird Akino, he might stumble..."

As he was talking, Baba saw Akagi Kyoko glaring at him, and immediately understood that he had said something wrong.

"Ah~ 50 more baskets!"

He played dumb and ran to the basket.

……

On Friday, Sasaki arrived at the teachers' dormitory.

"The result is of course Xiaozheng number one," he said.

A new work by a popular author, with overwhelming publicity, plus a front page color page, there is no reason why it will not get No.1.

"The ratio of age and gender is very normal, which is the average level on jump."

"In short, it is not yet clear whether it is popular or not. It will take a while."

Higashino nodded, "Yes."

In "Slam Dunk", he consciously increased the rhythm of the early stage, and the plot developed faster.

Some bad fights have been reduced, and a few funny plots have been reduced.

So there is some unclear feedback.

After that, Higashino handed the manuscript of the third chapter to Sasaki.

"Please find me another assistant."

The working hours of "Slam Dunk" are much longer than those of "Soul of Chess".

Leaving aside the lines of the body, just talking about the background is enough to exhaust Oda.

A basketball game requires spectators, and there are still a lot of spectators.

At a glance, they were all heads.

Sometimes I have to zoom in and draw four or five people.

These take a long time to conceive and draw.

The two assistants with art skills are okay, but Oda can't keep up with the progress.

"Oda lost two catties from exhaustion, it's too pitiful." Higashino continued.

"Yeah." Sasaki nodded, "I'll get in touch right away."
