Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 253 Bird Akino, you are so conceited!

In an elementary school in Nerima, Tokyo.

"Hey! Is it true or not?"

Kanzaki, the main subject teacher of a certain class, flipped through a summer vacation diary and suddenly exclaimed.

"What?" Hirota, the physical education teacher who was spraying water on the green plants, turned around and asked curiously.

"This, this," Kanzaki pointed to the diary in his hand, "I was still curious just now, Satoru's paintings looked more comfortable, but I saw something in the diary that surprised me."

"Isn't it?" Hirota looked at him in shock, "Mr. Kanzaki, you actually know how to read the students' diaries, so the diary I wrote to save the world when I was in junior high... not all of them were seen by the teacher..."

He put down the watering can, and was stunned, in the embarrassment of having his black history discovered.

"It's not important," Kanzaki said angrily, "Satoru in our class is very talented in painting and works very hard. His painting is No.1 among the students in our school. But I read his diary today and found that He drew better. So out of curiosity, I read the diary."

Hirota ignored him, covering his head to himself, twisting in pain.

Kanzaki pouted.

He moved the stool, turned around and said in a low voice, "I read his diary and found out that Wu has been studying with Mirai Akino during this summer vacation."

"Who!" Hirota yelled, rushed to Kanzaki's side, lifted the back of the chair, turned Kanzaki back, and asked anxiously to himself, "Who are you talking about?"

Kanzaki handed Soma Satoru's diary to Sakakura, and said with a smile, "Tori Akino, the one who drew "Slam Dunk"."

"Really or not?" Hirota took it, with surprise in his mouth.

He saw Soma Satoru's painting, much stronger than him.

What I saw was also what I learned one day under the guidance of Akino Tori.

It looks decent, not like a diary that a student can make up.

"Here on August 8th, Wu recorded that in the plot of "Slam Dunk", Rukawa Kaede and Zebei Eiji were singled out, and the result was a disastrous defeat. At the end of this episode, Xiangbei fell behind from 14 points before to [-] points behind , Eiji Sawakita's tomahawk dunk at the end is very cool."

"The plot of "Slam Dunk" on August 8 is exactly as described in his diary."

Teacher Kanzaki flipped through the diary and explained, "Also, Satoru has always been a good boy, and I haven't seen him lie before."

Hirota touched his chin after listening, "It's really a surprising thing, I'm so envious of that kid."

For a summer vacation, he was studying in Akino's studio, and he could see the plot of "Slam Dunk" in advance, which made him jealous.

Hirota liked to play basketball when he was in elementary school, but there was no basketball club in elementary school in Japan, and in junior high school, the gymnasium was also occupied by other clubs.It wasn't until high school that he changed from entertaining himself alone to training and playing games with everyone.

Although he had no grades in high school, he really experienced the fun of basketball and gave himself a solid foundation.

When he arrived at Meiji University, he showed his talent and became the main force of the team. At the most prominent time, he won the top four in the country.

Considering his experience in elementary school, he came to elementary school to become a physical education teacher, teaching elementary school students to play basketball.

Hirota likes "Slam Dunk" very much. "Slam Dunk" accompanied him through the four years of college and left a mark on his heart.

Bird Akino had a signing event in the future. He missed it because of training, and he was annoyed for a long time.

Soma Satoru's wonderful experience was beyond his imagination.

"Maybe Gota can become a cartoonist in the future." Hirota said.

"Sure." Kanzaki said.

"When will the animation of "Slam Dunk" be broadcast again..." Hirota's eyes kept rolling, "I don't know if Wu knows?"

Kanzaki said seriously, "Don't gossip about children."

"Of course I know that." Hirota replied, "But I really want to see animation!"

Seeing Sakuragi Hanamichi's rebound, seeing the more tired the body of Yano Mitsutoshi, the more accurate the three-pointer.

……

"Woooooo."

Akane Nakajima lay on the desk and wept.

"I'm so miserable!"

She worked hard to draw until late last night, but she was still criticized by the teacher when she came to school today.

"I read the manga in Mr. Akino's studio on Monday, "Leader at the End of the Century" is very funny! Hahaha!"

The teacher nodded her head, "You're lying again, look at your painting, it's a mess, next time I will do my summer homework seriously."

The other students all catch cicadas and unicorns together.

Although it is still a summer diary routine when I was in elementary school, at least I didn't scribble.

The teacher spoke angrily about Akane Nakajima for a long time until she burst into tears.

"keep it up!"

In the middle of crying, Akane Nakajima had an epiphany.

……

Bird Akino Studio.

"Without Xiao Xiangma and the others, the studio is so deserted."

Omori muttered while eating his burger.

Tanaka nodded, "There are some."

In the current studio, except for meal time, there is always the sound of g-pen rubbing against paper.

The noise of people coming and going downstairs after get off work has become a daily routine.

"It wasn't like this when Oda-kun was in the studio." Tanaka said nostalgicly.

"Eiichiro Oda, who drew "One Piece", is an amazing guy." Omori said with a serious expression after eating the hamburger and taking two sips of Coke, with bread crumbs still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Eiichiro Oda realized the dreams of tens of thousands of people.

Created "One Piece", which is loved by millions of people, and is a popular cartoonist in Jump.

Among the current serial authors, no one is stronger than him except Bird Akino.

The two of them were chatting, and Higashino was looking at the latest Xiao Zheng's ranking list.

……

""Slam Dunk" No.1."

""One Piece" No.2."

"Naruto No.3."

Higashino's familiar jump migrant manga appeared one after another.

These three rankings are also the average top three rankings of jump this year.

Further down is the second echelon.

"The Prince of Tennis No.4."

Xu Feigang's "The Prince of Tennis" has been welcomed by readers.

This kind of extremely exaggerated sports comics opened up a new world for readers.

"Yu-Gi-Oh No. 5."

Takahashi and Nozomi's comic ip is stronger than "Slam Dunk", but they are all card sales.

Although the card has driven the popularity of comics, it is still only No.5.

""Leader at the End of the Century" No.6."

The manga of the genius Shimabukuro light year only reached No.2000 in 6, but it was No.1998 in 4.

It's not that his paintings are bad, it can only be said that the competition is becoming more and more fierce.

""JOJO's Bizarre Adventure: Sea of ​​Stone" No.7."

""Strange Detective Agency" No.8."

……

Higashino was stunned, "It's really a luxurious list."

Calculated based on the average ranking of Xiaozheng's grades, Fu Jian's "Hunter x Hunter" should be inserted in No.4.

Both "One Piece" and "Naruto" have borrowed from "Hunter x Hunter".

If it wasn't for Fu Jian's laziness, then "Hunter x Hunter" might not lose to "One Piece".

"It's just a fight between gods and gods."

In terms of the later works, before 2000, Xiaozheng's scores were all in the top five, and he could even enter the top three.

While Higashino Hibiki was amazed, his cell phone rang, and the caller was Yamamura Morimichi.

Higashino answered, only to hear him say: "I'm going to end "Strange Detective Agency"."

"why?"

Higashino was a little surprised. Although the performance of this work has declined, it is not as good as Xu Feigang's "The Prince of Tennis", but it is also because of the endless output of excellent works in the past two years.

The readership of Yamamura Shoudao has not declined, he just has not kept up with the pace of the times.

Moreover, "Strange Detective Agency" is a comic composed of countless small plots. As long as the grades are good, it can be drawn endlessly.

Similar to "Detective Conan", so Yamamura Morido doesn't need to be in such a hurry to end.

He can continue to be serialized until it is cut in half, which is also the fate of many comics on jump.

"I've already drawn what I want to draw, and that's all for now." Yamamura Morido replied lightly.

It is impossible for him to say that he has run out of ideas, and he is racking his brains every day to think of bizarre events that can be explained by science, right?
Doesn't this show timidity in front of Bird Akino?
Higashino praised: "Mr. Shancun, you are really courageous."

"When you finished "Soul of Chess", you thought the same way." Yamamura Morichi said in a deep voice, "Let the work end in a suitable place."

Higashino nodded, "Yes."

"No," Yamamura vetoed his opinion just now, "One more thing, you are equally confident that the next manga will surpass "Soul of Go", so you ended "Soul of Go" without hesitation."

Let him say everything, Higashino has nothing to say.

"You are really confident, to the point of being conceited, but it actually made you do it." Yamamura didn't care, and went on to himself: "But I have the same idea as you, my next manga, the results will definitely be good." better."

Higashino Hibiki had to be convinced, "You are still so energetic in middle age."

He understood his own situation, and he was able to finish the manga gracefully, entirely because the manga he drew has passed the test of the readers and is sure to be popular.

But Shancun Shoudao is different, he is really struggling to make a decision.

After "Strange Detective Agency" is over, he may never be able to serialize again, and it is also possible that he will never be able to achieve his current achievements.

But he still simply let go.

Higashino persuaded him to think about it, "Mr. Nobuhiro Kazuki, who drew "Rurouni Kenshin", has no news of new works for more than a year. Do you want to think about it again..."

"Don't be so arrogant!" Yamamura sternly said, "I can do it too, you can do it!"

Higashino said: "You should know, I don't have such thoughts?"

"..." The mountain village was silent for a while, he took a deep breath, and said in a trembling voice: "Sorry, I am too strong."

Higashino said: "It's okay, I still hope you can think carefully about it."

"I have already decided," said Yamamura, "For the next manga, I will draw sports-themed manga!"

On the opposite side of the phone, there was no sound for a long time.

Higashino put down his cell phone and sighed, he understood that it was the pride of Yamamura who guarded the way.

The performance of "Strange Detective Agency" has declined, and it has been surpassed by a steady stream of newcomers. A genius like him cannot bear the status quo.

Eiichiro Oda, Konen Shimabukuro, Takeo Xu Fei, Masashi Kishimoto...

Therefore, Yamamura Morido wants to abandon "Strange Detective Agency" and explore higher possibilities.

"Sports comics?" Higashino murmured while holding the phone, "That guy from Yamamura, is he planning to compete with "Slam Dunk"? He really has courage."

"This is my idea!"

In the mobile phone, came the firm voice of Yamamura Shoudao, and Higashino trembled in fright.

He thought Shancun had hung up the phone.

"Since you have a goal, let's just look at No.1!" Yamamura said, "I want to use sports comics to defeat "Slam Dunk"!"

As long as you can work hard down-to-earth, the more ambitious your vision, the more motivated you will be.

Yamamura is 30 years old, but he is still a teenager.

He is still Yamamura Morido who competed with Higashi Higashino in 94.

Higashino said from the bottom of his heart: "You are amazing."

The mountain village is like Don Quixote rushing towards the windmill.

The achievement of "Slam Dunk" is a milestone.

Not only Japan, but China, Europe and the United States, and the whole world are all excited about "Slam Dunk".

In Japan's comic media art ranking, "Slam Dunk" should be No.1.

After 2020, which Higashino is familiar with, there is no sports comic that surpasses "Slam Dunk".

And a work with such a sensational influence has never appeared again.

"Tori Akino, you are so conceited." Shancun said in a low voice.

This sentence is too irritating, what do you mean by "you are amazing"?
Bird Akino Mirai placed "Slam Dunk" very high.

In his tone, it seemed to be an untouchable height.

However, Shancun was angry and could not refute this sentence.

Because he understands that there is nothing wrong with these words, they are all facts...

"Anyway! I can draw sports comics! Use it to beat Slam Dunk!"

Shancun said something again, and then there was no sound for a long time.

Higashino shook his head and moved the phone away from his ear.

"There's one more thing!" Shancun still didn't hang up the phone, and the noise hit Higashino's ears.

"Please finish speaking directly!" Dongye gritted his teeth loudly.

"That..." Shancun hesitated for a while, but did not ask for a long time.

Higashino urged, "Hurry up!"

"Shut~huh," Yamamura made enough preparations, "Excuse me, when will the animation of "Slam Dunk" resume?"

"Early October." Higashino replied.

"Great!" Cheers came from the phone.

"what?"

"Cough...I mean, yes, I see." Yamamura said, "Thank you, Bird Akino. I'm dead."

"Wait." Higashino hurriedly said, ""Slam Dunk"..."

Higashino paused.

In another six months, "Slam Dunk" will be over.

Shancun's sports comics will not have the opportunity to compete on the same stage.

"What's wrong with "Slam Dunk"?" Higashino asked after he didn't continue for a while.

"It's going to be fun," Higashino continued.

Forget it, don't hit his struggling heart.

　Write from 10 o'clock to now.

　　too painful.

　　Woo woo woo.
