Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 208 One after another
"Has Tori Akino won Xiao Zheng's first place again?"

Hearing the edited data, Yoshihiro Togashi's eyes widened.

He did some calculations, and in the month of September, Bird Akino was actually the first in Xiaozheng.

Takahashi Toshichang said: "Well, and according to this trend, Akino's performance will continue like this."

"It's really scary," Fu Jian said, "Young people nowadays are so incomprehensible."

When he serialized "Yu Yu Hakusho" that year, although his grades were not as good as "Dragon Ball", he always won the first place in Xiaozheng.

It wouldn't be like now, being hanged and beaten by Bird Akino.

"I was suppressed by Akira Toriyama in the past, but now I am behind Mirai Tori Akino. The author of "One Piece" Eiichiro Oda is probably Tori Akino's disciple. I will not be as good as him in the future."

Thinking of this, Yoshihiro Togashi suddenly felt his scalp tingling. How could a genius like him accept such a future?

He was full of energy immediately!

"Mr. Takahashi, please inform the editor-in-chief Torishima that I will suspend the publication for a week."

He said.

In short, avoid its edge first.

Nothing to do with his preparations for marriage.

……

Since the serialization of "One Piece", Oda has never had a rest. More than a year has passed. As a newcomer, he still has not adapted to the rhythm of weekly comics.

"It's amazing, Mr. Akino Bird."

When Oda was the assistant of Tori Akino's future, he didn't care.

After he started serializing himself, he realized that it is not easy to be a cartoonist.

Every day when I wake up and open my eyes, I think of comics. Before I close my eyes and go to sleep, I just leave the studio.

"Tori Akino-sensei, who was still a high school student, is already much stronger than me now. I still have to work hard."

While he was feeling emotional, the new assistant asked curiously: "Oda-san, do you know Mr. Akino?"

"Of course, Shiratori-kun. I used to be an assistant in Akino's studio, just like you now," Oda said with reminiscence: "The teacher taught me a lot. In addition to arranging work for me all day, I really A nice guy."

"Oda-san is also like this." Another assistant complained: "I am busy every day. In the previous manga artist, I still needed to work in an izakaya to make ends meet, but now I have no free time at all."

Oda was shameless, "Manga artists are like this, I just gave you more opportunities to learn."

Realizing that he said something wrong, he stood up and took out a commemorative photo, which was taken with Higashi Higashino and the others before he left.

There are also signatures on the back.

"This young lady is so beautiful." The other assistants looked at Akimi Akimi with emotion.

Shiratori looked at Higashino Hibiki in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Oda asked, pushing him away.

"It's nothing, but," Shiratori said, "When I was in junior high school, I saw the works of Mr. Akino Tori, and I had the dream of becoming a manga artist."

"It was the fourth volume of the "Soul of Chess". In the manga, I saw Toya Ryo and Shindo Hikaru who were chasing their dreams. The throbbing in my heart could no longer be suppressed. After that, my heart was full of "I want to share my feelings." , convey this idea to others". "

"Well, it sure is."

Everyone nodded one after another. The assistants and Oda shared this feeling.

"It is precisely after reading the works of a cartoonist teacher that one can have the dream of becoming a cartoonist."

Oda patted Shiratori on the shoulder, "Come on."

……

Higashino Hibiki was watching TV, which was a live broadcast of the Go match between Youxuan.

Except for the professional chess players who have just passed the professional chess player exam, they can only play chess in this chess room if they become the top chess players.

Today's competition is the Honinbo battle, and Odagiri is among them. He is 18 years old, and it has been a long time since he was seen on TV. He is much calmer than before.With the demeanor of the country's unparalleled scholars.

Now at a disadvantage, he still took the long exam calmly.

I didn't keep pinching my hair and meditating.

"How did it turn out?" Akemi Akimiya asked Higashino Hibiki.

"Not very optimistic," Higashino shook his head, "Already on the verge of defeat."

However, with Odagiri's chess strength, it is already a miracle to be able to fight Zhao Zhixun's [-]th dan "Honinbo" to the fifth game.

In just five years, he has grown to this point. This young man is so terrifying.

If Higashino played chess with him again, I am afraid that only by handicapping three pieces can he be sure of winning.

After another half an hour, Higashino sighed.

"Don't look any further, let's go out."

"Is there no chance?" Qiugong Mingmei asked.

"Well," Higashino put on his coat, "the chess player on the opposite side is Zhao Zhixun 1989th dan who has ruled the title of "Honinbo" since [-], and Odagiri is still far behind. "

"what a pity."

"He's already great."

……

Today is the weekend, and the two of them went out to see the villa.

Fortunately, these villas are located in Meguro District, so half a day is enough.

After driving to the first villa, Akemi Akimiya shook her head: "There are no good elementary schools around."

She is looking at the long-term, Higashino admired.

Akimi's eyes lit up until she saw the third building.

There is a park near here. In autumn, the maple forest here renders a "sad autumn" red, which is particularly intoxicating.

In the center of the park lake, there is also a pavilion, among the shade, it is great to watch the scenery.

In Tokyo, it is like being in another world and walking into nature.

Standing on the balcony of the villa, you can just overlook the maple forest and the gazebo.

"The scenery in autumn is great, but in other seasons, there is no such scenery today."

Higashino reminded me that I am most afraid of doing things on a whim, and if I think about it later, I may have regrets.It should be considered clearly.

"I've made a decision. If Higashino-kun has no objections, it's here." Akemi Akimiya said with a smile.

The villa area here is called Hanhai, and Dong Yexiang's building is named Hongfeng.

There are three floors in total, with a total area of ​​about 600 square meters. It has been renovated, with a magnificent style, which does not match the scenery outside. Hibiki Higashino doesn't like it. It always feels like entering a hotel, without a home. smell.

"Just do as you say," Higashino nodded, and it will have to be redecorated later.

But other things are really good, the environment is beautiful, and there is a city library nearby, which is convenient for Higashino to find information.

It is very close to Higashino’s house, only 10 minutes by car. There are kindergartens and elite primary schools in the villa area, and it is not far from the urban area.

It is a good choice.

Contacted Higashino Ichiro, Higashino Hibiki met Yoshino beside the Arakawa River.

"Where is this house?" Yoshino held the keychain and thought hard.

Hearing Higashino Hibiki's introduction, he took out a stack of real estate certificates, and after a long while, he finally found them.

"What a waste of time." Yoshino looked at the fishing rod, too lazy to discuss it further.

"A total of [-] million yen, that's all."

"Huh?" Tono Hibiki was stunned.

It's so cheap?
Higashino Hibiki and Akemi Akimiya contributed half each, and the formalities were quickly completed.

Higashino found the house designer and put forward Akemi Akimiya and his request. Afterwards, the decoration process will not be shown.

Then back in the studio, the game was just over.

In the fifth match, Odagiri lost.

Higashino was touched when he saw his tears streaming down his face.

"What are you thinking? Why are you crying so sadly?" Higashino was puzzled.

He is talented, and he has already entered the "Honinbo" title challenge. It can be said that he is extremely talented and a top player in the Japanese Go world.

"why?"

……

The house work is over, and the Xiangbei Lingnan competition of "Slam Dunk" is also coming to an end.

After finishing the last chapter, Higashino finally had free time.

He and Akemi Akimiya watched the game live, which was the Japanese Basketball League at the end of October.

Sitting in the front court, feeling the restlessness of the scene, Higashino's blood was also boiling.

"Takehiko Orimo, come on!"

There are cheers and cheers all around.

"Professional athletes are much better than those in the comics." Akemi Akimiya was dumbfounded.

"Yeah, it's really amazing."

Whether it is speed, jumping ability, or reaction force, the wonderful operations played on the spot are better than the characters in "Slam Dunk".

"Sakuragi and the others are just high school students, and these golfers are professionals." Someone beside him couldn't help explaining, "Ms. Akino's drawing is very realistic."

"However, the content of the comics is more passionate than the live competition." He sighed again.

"Yeah," Higashino nodded, "After all, only when reading manga works can you feel the character's heart, and be happy with his happiness."

Just like Akagi, in Xiangbei before, no one cooperated with him at all.No matter how hard a person works, as long as he is blocked by the opponent and has no teammates who can pass the ball, he will only fail in the end.

In the current Shonhoku, there is a terrible three-pointer Mitsui on the outside of the ball; there is also a full-court support from the Shonhoku ace Rukawa Kaede who can shoot anywhere regardless of position;

And Miyagi, the point guard who can pass the ball and score by himself; and the fast-growing beginner, the king of the basket, the strong support of Hanamichi Sakuragi.

In the manga, after watching Akagi's high school basketball life, readers will be happy and moved for him from the bottom of their hearts.

After three years of persistence, he finally has a reliable teammate. His current struggle on the court is even more empathetic and joyful.

"Oh, brother, what you said is really good." The audience's eyes lit up, and he boasted, "This sentence really touched my heart."

In this crucial game, he actually chatted with Higashi Hibiki about manga, which is simply unimaginable.

"It's the same with Yuzhu," he said, "after three years of hard training, he is most likely to realize his dream and enter the national competition in the last year. But he fell into a disadvantage here in Xiangbei. I can fully feel his mood. "

"Lingnan is 6 points behind Xiangbei. With [-] minutes left in the game, he can only watch on the bench. The unwillingness and eagerness to try are almost on paper."

Afterwards, the eruption of fish pillars, readers can fully predict.

"Uozumi Jun, 202 cm tall, 90 kg, and Akagi Takenori, 197 cm tall, 90 kg. In terms of physique, the two sides are comparable."

"It's about as ugly as it gets."

"But Yuzhu's evaluation has not been as good as Akagi's, which is why Yuzhu has always regarded Akagi as his opponent."

"He can bring great pressure to Xiangbei, which is the miracle produced by Yu Zhu's belief."

……

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds of the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan, with the assistance of Yuzhu, Futian finally scored a goal!

It brought fighting spirit to the Lingnan basketball team.

Thirteen points behind now.

After that, Yuzhu blocked Akagi's dunk, stole Sakuragi Hanamichi, and won the rebound competition with the two.

Lingnan's defense is finally reliable.

The tide began to turn.

He shared the pressure of Xiandao, Xiandao can attack with all his heart and find Xiangbei's weakness.

Under the offensive of Xiandao, the unstable factors in northern Hunan were revealed one by one.

First of all, Mitsui Shou, insisted on the whole game, he has no strength.

Mitsui Shou was in a trance due to lack of physical strength, and wasted a three-pointer opportunity. At the most critical moment, he failed to give Lingnan a fatal blow.

The second point is that the players in Xiangbei committed too many fouls, and all four players fouled three times.

Under the guidance of Xiandao, Miyagi Ryota committed four crimes very quickly.

This will cause Sakuragi and the others to be afraid of fouls, and their defensive ability will become weak.

The third point is that Xiangbei's backup ability is too weak. Facing Lingnan, Yasuda, Kakuda and others don't even have the courage to compete.

Everything was as Tian Gang Maoichi imagined, and the score gap was pulled back to seven points.

Facing Lingnan's ace Immortal, Rukawa Feng is not far behind.

Taking the impossible shot, he made it.

Time is running out, and Lingnan is still 9 points behind Xiangbei.

At this time, Xiandao's desire to win became stronger and stronger, and he returned to his freshman self, who was simply a scorer.

Shooting + three-pointer, there are 3 minutes left in the game, and Lingnan is only four points behind!
"Immortal Way! Immortal Way! Immortal Way!"

The stadium is full of spectators cheering for him, and they look forward to turning defeat into victory.

Another uneasy factor in Xiangbei has finally been exposed.

That is, coach Anxi is not here. At this uneasy moment, no one can come up with tactics, and everyone panics.

"You can play the national competition now." Moichi Tianoka, who has always controlled the rhythm of the game, said to Xiandao and the others confidently.

……

"I was really panicked at that time," the audience said to Higashino: "Although it will be a pity for Lingnan, I still hope that Xiangbei can win."

"Ms. Bird Akino arranged such a crisis plot, but he didn't draw the possibility of resolving it. Uneasy factors are constantly emerging one after another. There is really a hopeless future like facing a rolling stone."

The possibility of Xiangbei's victory is getting smaller and smaller. At this time, readers want to see the next chapter even more.

Countless reader polls voted for "Slam Dunk."

"Hunter x Hunter", "One Piece"... are not worth mentioning.

"At that time, was it the eighth time or the tenth time?" Higashino counted the number of times Xiaozheng won the first place in a row.

"What?" the audience asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing." Higashino replied with a smile, "Go ahead."

Orime Takehiko made a three-pointer, which relieved the team's pressure at a critical moment. As the team's trump card and core, he is still so reliable.

The whole audience was cheering, but Higashino's side still ignored it, immersed in the world of "Slam Dunk".

The audience licked their lips, "The story after that was really exciting. I miss it for a long time. I will recall it ten or twenty years later. It is an unforgettable, classic moment."

The fourth disturbing factor in northern Hunan is Sakuragi Flower Road.He is a layman, and anything is possible.

Like passing the ball.

In the game against Hainan, at the last moment, Sakuragi passed the basketball to Kazuma Takasago of Hainan, causing Xiangbei to lose to Hainan.

Now, because the pass was too high, it hit the rim, and was caught by Yu Zhu, and Lingnan started to counterattack.

Sakuragi's uneasy factors were revealed.

"The subsequent storyboards are really exciting," the audience praised.

In the fierce competition in the last few minutes, the others attacked, returned to defense, and swayed all their energy.

Nervous, sweat, hard work, hard work, the camera is constantly switching.

Among them, only Mitsui Shou is different.

His eyes lost focus, and his physical activities were maintained by his spirit.

His eyes went dark, Mitsui Shou stumbled, his shoulders drooped downwards, as if he only had a brain, he raised his body and moved.

"Coach Anxi is not here, I must cheer up..."

"I must pull myself together..."

"I must..."

"boom!"

When Sendo made a successful shot and fouled Akagi, Mitsui fell to the ground.

He was completely out of strength.

Tian Gang Moichi's judgment came true.

"In terms of score, Xiangbei has no advantage, and the scorer Mitsui Shou is off again. I was thinking about this."

"However, Mitsui's plot is really moving."

　My friend's book is wonderful.
