Chapter 227 The New Work of Tori Akino Mirai

"I heard that next week, there will be a new short comic by Akino Tori."

"Eh? Impossible. Teacher, he is serializing "Slam Dunk". The king of the mountain is really powerful, and my heart is panicking."

"Really, there is an announcement on Jump."

"That's a surprise! I'm looking forward to it!"

One more week until July.

That is to say, when the summer vacation comes, Akino Tori has a new work in the future, and the students are very happy.

They were full of energy and discussed non-stop.

Mrs. Nakajima was holding a vegetable basket and looked at these students with a smile on her face.

"Tori Akino-kun's new manga?"

In the past two days, because of Akino's cartoon, my daughter cried very sadly, saying that she would never play hide-and-seek again.

She originally thought that Akino Tori would be a very serious young man in the future, but she didn't expect that there were also young people who were naughty.

He must have a bad taste, looking at the grief-stricken audience.

So what is Tori Akino's new work?

Will it be like that cartoon?
Thinking that her daughter might cry again, Mrs. Nakajima covered her mouth and started laughing.

Her daughter has always been mischievous, like a boy, she has never seen her little face, and it is really interesting to see her crying occasionally.

"It's time to buy one."

……

Morimichi Yamamura heard about Akino Tori's new work "Millennium Actress".

This moment made him a little unexpected.

"Didn't he say he was going to get married in September? Why did he draw another short story at this time?"

"He's really working hard."

"Or, "Millennium Actress" is too wonderful, so I can't help but draw it?"

"In short, it is good news."

Morido Yamamura muttered to himself while turning on the computer. On the forum, he saw many people discussing it.

After serializing "Strange Detective Agency" for so long, the experience of Yamamura Shoudao is gradually not enough. How can there be so many strange events that are in line with scientific basis?
He lost a bunch of hair when he was thinking about mirroring, which almost affected his happiness in marriage.

It was only after that that Morimichi Yamamura thought about computers.

The computer is really easy to use, but the sequel is that it usually wastes too much time.

He always likes to see what people are discussing.

"Tori Akino's new work! I'm so looking forward to it! I want to see it now!"

Sure enough, the topic of Akino's future began to explode.

Some time ago, many topics on this forum were about "Slam Dunk".

Then "Slam Dunk" just fell silent for a while because it was a transitional plot.

Because of the topic of "Millennium Actress", posts with "Bird Akino Mirai" are emerging again and again.

……

"Tori Akino-sensei, he is really hardworking! In comparison, "Hunter x Hunter" has been suspended, right? Yoshihiro Togashi is really disgusting!"

"This is only the 6th suspension of Mr. Fujin this year. Forget it, you are much happier than the readers of "LEVEL E"."

"Just the 6th time off? What a funny line."

Morimichi Yamamura shook his head, Mr. Togaken's readers are too forgiving.

For this, Yamamura Shoudao was also very angry.

Because he likes "Level E" and is watching "Hunter x Hunter", it was hard enough back then, but now that "Hunter x hunter" is getting more and more exciting, Fu Jian is getting worse and worse.

It's hard for him to follow up!

The world of hunters is unfolding, but it doesn't stop at every turn. He really wants to come to ask for an update.

"Forget it," Yamamura Morimichi shook his head, "Let's read the topic about Mr. Akino Tori."

Yoshihiro Togashi could only make him sulky.

"Next week's jump, I will definitely buy it early!"

"Tori Akino-sensei's cartoons are very interesting!"

"I like "Soul of Chess" and "Slam Dunk" very much, and the booklet is also a complete collection, I can't miss it!"

They are gearing up and can't wait to watch "Millennium Actress".

This kind of strong appeal just because of a name, there is only Mirai Akino on Jump now.

"It's really enviable."

Yamamura Shoudao sighed, but he is also part of this group of readers and can understand their thoughts.

"After all, this is Tori Akino Mirai's new work."

……

Higashino couldn't hear the readers' voices, but "Future Society" made a phone call.

Calculating the time, the DVD sales of "Unheard Flower Name" are about to come out, so it should be the notification of this matter.

Dongye answered clearly, and heard a noisy voice: "What's the matter? Is it under renovation?"

There seemed to be shouts of "Money back!"

Higashino Hibiki thought, "Could it be that the maintenance fee has not been settled?"

Not so much, right?

The person on the other side of the phone took a long breath, suppressing his emotions.

Takagi Kiko gritted her teeth, "Who do you think did it? It's not because of your plot script! Many viewers have come to protest!"

Higashino Hibiki was startled, "Isn't that right, today is not the weekend, who's social animal is protesting today?"

Takagi Kiko grabbed a point and hurriedly asked: "Your focus is very problematic, or do you already expect that there will be protests?"

"Of course, I have confidence in "Unheard Flower Name"."

"What are you doing with such a smug tone!" Takagi Kiko went crazy, and they are the ones who are affected now.

"Many of the protesters outside were sports students and members of the national youth football team," she explained.

"Oh," Higashino suddenly realized, "so they will have time."

This kind of appearance that it has nothing to do with him made Takagi Kiko even more angry, and he was about to explode.

The office phone here kept ringing, and the employees wanted to bow their heads and apologize to the audience, but the perpetrator was fine.

And because the new work is about to come out, Higashino has been praised by many people, which makes Takagi Kiko even more depressed.

"Let's not talk about this." Takagi Kiko asked: "Is there a new animation script? "Future Society" will have a new project to start. "

Because of the popularity of "Unheard Flower Name", "Future Society" also became popular.

Therefore, the animation committee contacted Takagi Kiko and wanted to commission "Future Society" to produce "Our Family".

"Our Family" is also a manga adaptation, based on a relaxed and everyday family.

It is relatively simple to make.

"I'll be very busy for the next six months, and I don't have time to start new projects," Higashino replied.

"Okay." Takagi Kiko nodded.

Hibiki Higashino's original intention of founding "Future Club" was for his sister Mei Higashino.

Because of the broadcast of "Unheard Flower Name", Meiko Honma's voice actress Higashino Meiko finally became famous.

Higashino Hibiki's goal has also been achieved.

Now that "Future Society" has started independent development, it couldn't be better.

Hibiki Higashino can not be dragged down, and can start a new animation project if necessary in the future.

Just don't get too comfortable.

At the end, Takagi Kiko finally talked about the topic Higashino cared about from the beginning.

Disc sales of "Unheard Flower Name".

"The sales volume of the fifth volume of "Unheard Flower Name" is 56021! The average sales volume is 40702! It surpasses the average sales volume of "Dragon Ball Z"!"

"Hiss~" Higashino gasped after hearing this sentence.

There is no Blu-ray version of discs now, and the average sales volume of all of them has reached more than [-].

Hibiki Higashino's expectations were exceeded.

"The audience likes the painting style of "Unheard Flower Name" is also a reason." Takagi Kiko explained.

In 1999, the cute style of "Unheard Flower Name" was indeed rare.

The mature big sister is the king now.

"Is the fifth volume 56000?" Higashino sighed without waiting for Kiko Takagi's answer, "It's depressing to say, but the sales volume of the fifth volume is the highest, and the audience is so arrogant."

Mouth does not match heart.

"Proud?"

"Well, it's a character like Vegeta Asuka."

"I really don't understand you." Takagi Kiko shook her head, said a word and hung up the phone.

……

The time came to July, the students were on vacation, and Higashino and Akemi Akimiya were making invitations.

There are married men and women, as well as the time and place.

Higashino Higashi will draw a q version of Zuo for the woman, and a q version of Sakuragi Flower Road for the man to distinguish.

There are not many shares, and the two parties add up to only 40 shares.

It belonged to his friend with Akemi Akimiya.

For relatives, the parents of both parties invite guests.

It can be regarded as reducing the workload for them.

""Millennium Actress" is released today," Akemi Akimiya looked at Higashino's calm expression, and was a little worried. "Its content is not liked by young people."

"Don't worry," Higashino shook his head, "We've done our best, haven't we?"

He is thinking about who should give it to?

Nishimura must have one, I wonder how he is doing in Hokkaido?

Beiben also needs to have one. He is a graduate student at the University of Tokyo. I wonder if he has time?

Asahina and the others have to have it too.

After all the calculations, Higashino was afraid that someone would be left behind, which was much more troublesome than drawing manga.

"That's right." Higashino hurriedly asked: "Who should the wedding host choose?"

It was his first time getting married, and although he wanted to do it with Jane, he was still in a hurry.

"Didn't Mister Torishima agree to you?" Akemi Akimiya asked back.

"Oh," Higashino recalled, when he seriously invited, Torishima Kazuhiko also fully agreed.

"Yeah, getting married is really a headache."

But then it's a family.

……

After Mrs. Nakajima made breakfast and watched her daughter go to school, she began to clean the room. It was not until ten o'clock in the morning, when she looked at the clean room with satisfaction, that she remembered that today was the day when Jump was on sale.

The water stains on her hands were wiped on the apron, she took off the apron, walked into the bedroom, and started to put on makeup.

Until eleven o'clock, Mrs. Nakajima walked out of the house and went to a nearby supermarket.

"Jump is sold out," said the salesperson.

Mrs. Nakajima's eyes widened: "(⊙o⊙)"

It's eleven o'clock now, isn't it?
Is jump selling so fast?

Seeming to see her doubts, the salesperson explained: "Because everyone can't wait to see Mr. Akino's new work, so it was sold out in the morning."

"Ah, I've never seen such a fanatical look."

"I see." Mrs. Nakajima was a little disappointed, "Sorry to bother you."

"Wait," she looked disappointed, which embarrassed the salesperson. The salesperson took out an open jump and said to her, "I've read this one. Do you want to buy it?"

"Okay." Mrs. Nakajima cheered softly as she clapped her hands in front of her chest.

She is obviously a middle-aged woman, but this kind of mischievousness that only belongs to young girls is not at all awkward in her case.

Instead, the salesperson's eyes were reluctant to leave.

"A total of 230 yen." After a while, he said.

Mrs. Nakajima took the manga and was about to go out.

At this moment, someone came in. He was about 30 years old, about 180 centimeters tall, with a good figure and handsome appearance, and he looked like an idol star.

"Please give me a copy of Jump. "Weekly Shonen Jump"!" The visitor looked at the magazine in Mrs. Nakajima's hand, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly.

"Sorry, jump is sold out."

"No again? This is already the fifth supermarket I've been looking for..." He was very disappointed.

"Can you wait a moment?" Mrs. Nakajima said, "I'll give it to you after I've seen it."

"Thank you very much!" The visitor bowed and said loudly.

The two walked together and came to a nearby coffee shop.

Mrs. Nakajima introduced herself, "I'm Rei Nakajima, hello."

"My name is Xu Feigang, thank you so much." Xu Feigang thanked you again.

"Ah, you are too polite," Mrs. Nakajima waved her hand and said with a smile.

"Because jump is very important to me." Xu Feigang confided, "To tell you the truth, my manga was also serialized in this issue of jump."

That's The Prince of Tennis.

In July 1999, "The Prince of Tennis" began serialization.

Echizen Ryoma, the villain, replaced Toyama Kintaro as the protagonist and began his story.

"Hey!" Mrs. Nakajima covered her mouth and exclaimed, "I'm really surprised, but don't you have... do you have that sample magazine?"

She could always see that the editor sent samples to Akino Mirai.

Xu Fei just said embarrassingly: "After playing tennis, I forgot where to put it."

Mrs. Nakajima started talking about sex, and had a long chat with this cartoonist named Xu Feigang.

He used to work in a design company, because he couldn't bear to create as he wanted, and his works were always disturbed by various kinds, so he picked up his original intention and started drawing comics.

"After "COOL RENTAL BODYGUARD" was finished, I began to think about what kind of work I should draw."

"After asking Kazuhiko Torishima at the New Year's meeting, I made up my mind to draw sports-themed comics."

"Well," propping her chin, Mrs. Nakajima said she was listening.

"I like "Slam Dunk" by Akino Tori very much, and "The Prince of Tennis" is also partly affected, but it's a little depressed."

Xu Fei just sighed, "It's just a short serialization, and Mr. Akino's manga has appeared on the front page. I'm not reconciled, and I just want to know what kind of work "Millennium Actress" is."

""Millennium Actress"?"

Mrs. Nakajima froze with a smiling expression.

It was the first time she knew the name of Bird Akino's future new work.

"Actress..." she murmured, "Is it a work about an actress?"

For a while, I was in a trance.

"Mrs. Nakajima..." Xu Fei just called out to her.

"Sorry, I'll watch it now." Mrs. Nakajima recovered and said immediately.

"Look slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

……

Jump's cover, the most attractive, is a girl in a golden kimono.

Then behind her, the students ran to the left with fascinated expressions.
