Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 134 The Cowardly Hero Takes the Stage
Higashino saw the tearful Hua Chao, he was really unwilling, thinking that if he could work harder and harder during training, he might be able to win.

It's a pity that there is no if in reality.

Akagi Kyoko went to comfort him, and Higashino Kyoko left Meiji University.

Hua Chao definitely doesn't want to see his fragile side.

……

Higashino returned to Musashino, and drew a sketch of Hua Chao bursting into tears.Such a wonderful game gave him a lot of inspiration.

On Monday, jump goes on sale.

"Slam Dunk" has been updated again, which is very interesting content.

Sakuragi Hanamichi made a shot and was blocked by Yuzhu.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and quickly grabbed the ball in his hands.

At this time, everyone present thought that he would pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede. After all, Rukawa Kaede was the absolute trump card.But Yingmu Huadao passed the ball to Mu Mu.

Mu Mu scored two points.

Tian Gang couldn't help being nervous, he felt that Yingmu Huadao was an outsider, and it was impossible for him to see his plan to keep a close eye on Rukawa Kaede!
But he was puzzled in his heart, why didn't he pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede?
Once again, Sakuragi took the ball to Lingnan's basket, and Tianoka still believed that Sakuragi would pass the ball to Rukawa Kaede.

But when Lingnan continued to guard against Rukawa Kaede, Sakuragi passed the ball to Mumu again, and the score was shortened to three points.

Tian Gang gritted his teeth and had to admit that Sakuragi has a way, he is very talented.

What he didn't know was that Hanamichi Sakuragi would never pass the ball to Kaede Rukawa, this is his bottom line now.

I would rather lose the game than let Rukawa Feng be proud.

Xiandao once had a strong record of scoring 47 points alone. In the game against Shonhoku, the reason why he did not perform as well as before was because of Kaede Rukawa.

The genius Rukawa Feng was exhausted in the fierce competition with Xiandao, his feet cramped and fell to the ground, Xiandao easily layup.

The last time it was Rukawa Kaede who saved Sakuragi Hanamichi, this time Sakuragi followed suit and kicked Rukawa Kaede's cramped calf, which made Rukawa Kaede recover and the game continued.

The player from Shonhoku missed a shot, but Kaede Rukawa leaped high and made a tip-up.

Such a jump made Yingmu Huadao very shocked.

Because the technique Rukawa Kaede used was the rebounding that Akagi Takenori taught him last night.

"The person who can control the rebound can decide the outcome of the game!"

Seeing this scene, Yingmu Huadao was moved.More aware of the importance of rebounding.

……

"Damn it!"

In the pink room, Kikuchi Hidemi rolled over.

She put "Weekly Shonen Jump" aside, looked up at the ceiling with disheveled hair.

"It's too short!"

She is very interested in reading comics.

It's just too long a wait.

When I watched "Sailor Moon" in junior high school, I had this idea.

"It would be great if the author could be locked up and draw comics 24 hours a day."

"However," Kikuchi turned over and touched Jump, "Male manga artists draw really well..."

Every time she sees Niao Akino Mirai's paintings, she feels shocked.

It is different from the blank space style of Naoko Takeuchi, the author of "Sailor Moon".

Bird Akino's paintings are very realistic. The muscle lines, facial features, and movements of the characters are all extremely realistic, tough and vivid.

This is a style of painting that she has never felt when reading girl manga.

All of a sudden, there is a feeling that comics can be drawn so meticulously.

"The workload must have been staggering."

From the comics, she saw a diligent and never lazy cartoonist, and she immediately admired him.

"Maybe he has been locked up in a small dark room by the editor to draw manga? It's so pitiful." She thought.

Although Kikuchi Hidemi is a girl, she is unusually cheerful and lively. Her parents often say that she was born in the wrong birth and should be a boy.

When she was young, she often caught toads to scare the boys in her class.

It is the tallest one who climbs the tree and the most lively and mischievous one.

Kikuchi has been fond of playing basketball since elementary school.Because her parents were going to work in Tokyo, they could only go back to the country a few times a year. When they came back in the first year, they brought her a basketball.

"Kids in Tokyo are playing with this."

It was only later that she discovered that her parents were lying.

Because there are very few children playing basketball in Tokyo.

But at that time, because of this sentence, she became very interested in basketball, took her younger brothers to play together, and played invincible all over the school.

But in junior high school, the physical gap between boys and girls forced her to give up her basketball dream.

At that time, or even now, there was no women's basketball team in the school. With nothing to do, Kikuchi began to watch basketball games.

From the countryside to Tokyo, she has watched no less than 100 games.

There are only three or five spectators, and there are thousands of spectators in large leagues.

However, the match between Meiji and Donghai last weekend left a deep impression on her.

It was just a school-level friendly match, and she felt the atmosphere that only the league can have.

Not only that, but there are also many strangers in the basketball circle.

Just like the uncle next to her who looked at kidney deficiency, he was definitely not a basketball fan.

All of this is due to the future of Bird Akino!

"I really want to see Tori Akino's future side." She had such thoughts.

……

In the afternoon, Sasaki came to Higashi Higashi's studio with a photocopied storyboard.

These are all works that will participate in the serialization meeting, and the reviewers need to read them in advance and write their opinions and evaluations, so that they can quickly express their opinions at the serialization meeting.

Hibiki Higashino is very curious, this is the first time he participated in Jump's serialization meeting, what familiar works will he encounter?
With curiosity, Higashino read the books.

He kept nodding his head, and the works that could participate in the serialization conference really had two brushes.

At this time, instead of looking for advantages like the Newcomer Award, it is looking for the shortcomings of the works.

The works at the serial conference are basically accumulated by the author for several years, so all of them are very perfect.

Higashino watched in amazement, lamenting the degree of involution in this industry.

But even for such a work, there is very little hope of being able to be serialized in Jump.

There are a total of [-] works participating this time, and only three of them can be serialized. The competition is really fierce.

After sighing, Higashino came up with a new work, which made his eyes widen and he found the treasure.

The background of this work is based on Egyptian culture, and the protagonist is a cowardly student who is often bullied.

His hairstyle is very characteristic, and it is one of the most high-profile on jump.

Compared with him, Yingmu Huadao is simply a good baby.

The painting of this work is very old-fashioned, and it looks like it was painted by the author who has been immersed in painting for many years.

There is no problem with the artistry, and the development of the plot is also very interesting. Among these serialized works, it is a top-notch work.

The point is that Higashino likes this work very much and will witness his success in the future.

So I took a pen and wrote my own evaluation.

Sasaki was very surprised when he saw it, "Is it so highly rated?"

"Well," Higashino nodded, "I feel it, this will be a work that represents the future,"

Sasaki was surprised. He had read this manga, and it was indeed very interesting, but in Jump, it was only at the middle level. He didn't expect Higashino to have such a high evaluation.

He wanted to ask more questions, but after Higashino wrote the comment on the leather bag, he took the time to watch the next work.

He could only purse his lips, looking forward to the serial meeting.

……

A week later, on Sunday, Higashino went to Shueisha.

Putting on the badge in the hall, Higashino came to the editorial department again. He remembered that the last time he came, it was after he won the "Tezuka Award".

Time flies, almost three years have passed, and he is also a sophomore in high school. He realized his dream and studied at Musashino Art University.

The turning point of fate is drawing manga.

After exiting the elevator door, Higashino was no longer shocked by the last time, but his heart was even more agitated.

At the elevator door, in addition to the previous Goku and Jotaro, there are also Fujiwara Sawai and Sakuragi Hanamichi.

Filled with emotion, he followed Sasaki into the editorial office.

"Bird Akino is here!"

"The pillar of the jump!"

The editors saluted him.

A college student actually drew Jump's most popular work.

They can work here leisurely now, thanks to Mr. Akino Tori.

"The serial meeting is about to begin."

There are also many editors holding their fingers. They are the editors who are responsible for the works entering the serialization meeting.

Those authors handed over the manga to them with great anticipation, and really don't want to see these authors look disappointed.

"Must pass!"

……

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Higashino and Kazuhiko Torishima exchanged pleasantries, and entered the meeting room where the series was held.

The people here are either the editor-in-chief or the team leader, and they are the management of Jump.

All of them are experienced and have made outstanding contributions to jump.

Editor-in-Chief Kazuhiko Torishima, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kondo, and Deputy Editor-in-Chief Takashi Sasaki.

Team leader Yoshihisa Azaki, team leader Asada, team leader Yahagi Kosuke...

Higashi Higashino sat among these people, always feeling that the huskies had mixed in with the wolves. After he came in, the painting style of these elites became strange.

This serialization meeting, apart from that work, is actually not a big deal, at least Higashino has no impression of those works.

Jump has several serial meetings every year, and the real gold is found after the big waves wash the sand.

The countless painstaking efforts of these cartoonists were in vain in the end.

That's why some people say that drawing manga is a gambler, and there is a one in ten thousand chance of success.

These people who can enter the serialization meeting are all capable, but most of them can't even do the cornerstone of jump comics.

Skimming one work after another, Higashino expressed his own opinion. He comes from the future, and his vision is still acceptable.

Both Torishima and Kazuhiko were a little surprised. Higashino’s thoughts were somewhat similar to his. In addition to the quality of the works, he valued works with peripheral development capabilities.
