Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 29 After winning the award
Monday morning, in a supermarket.

A fair and handsome male high school student was reading "Weekly Shonen Jump".

"Sure enough, Mr. Akira Toriyama's manga is still so touching! It's great!"

"The results of the Tezuka Award should come out, right?"

Turning to the announcement page, he widened his eyes, "What! A 17-year-old selected work!"

"I only had good works last year!"

When he was 17 years old, he also used the pseudonym Yuehuo Mizuki Jintu to submit a paper for the Tezuka Award and won the excellent grade of excellent work.

It was the proudest moment of his life.

He is still working in the field of comics, and he won the hot step award some time ago.

However, these awards are only consolation prizes for newcomers, and they are still far away from being serialized.

"The artistry is good, the plot is excellent, and they are all positive reviews." He flipped through it in disbelief, muttering to himself, "My review last year was "The plot is terrible, the comics don't use perspective, and the characters are not clear." All bad reviews! "

He couldn't believe it, they were both 17 years old, how could there be such a big gap?
When I was 4 years old, I saw Osamu Tezuka's comics and couldn't put it down. At the age of 10, Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball was released to the public.

No matter what aspect of "Dragon Ball", he likes it very much.

So my dream is to become a manga artist, and I have been learning how to draw manga in private.

"Tori Akino Mirai..." silently read the author's name, "This guy is really annoying."

He looked at the acceptance speech: "When everyone was playing video games, I tried my best to restrain myself, and now it finally paid off. I will also work hard to be active in jump magazines in the future."

"Who is this guy mocking?" Yue Huo Tu Shui Tu Jin Mu angrily said, "Look at me soon surpassing you!"

……

During the lunch break at noon, Nishimura, Kitamoto and Yoshii were chatting next to Higashino Hibiki's seat.

He suddenly had the feeling of Saiki Kusuo, wanting to study during the lunch break and carry out the introversion to the end, but his friends chatted around and chattered non-stop.

"Tori Akino Mirai is really amazing." Nishimura looked at Jump and said in surprise: "It turned out to be selected, 100w yen!"

"I read the newspaper this morning, and saw the name of Mirai Tori Akino," Yoshii nodded, chatting with admiration, "There is a press release written by a critic, saying that Mirai Tori Akino will soon have the ability to serialize, maybe Be the first high school student to be serialized on jump.

He had seen the original manuscript of "Soul of Chess" at the Tezuka Appreciation Banquet.It claims to be very mature and can be regarded as a normal serial work. "

Nishimura sighed, "I really envy him, he is so talented."

"You shouldn't think like this." Bei Ben said solemnly: "He said that he has drawn pictures since he was a child and abandoned fun. If we use the energy of playing games and eating rough snacks to draw manga, we should also..."

"Definitely not," Nishimura interrupted him.

"Why do you think it's not okay?"

"Look at Higashino, he has been learning to draw since he was a child, and he has worked very hard," Nishimura pouted and nudged Higashi Higashino, "Do you think Higashino can be selected for the Tezuka Award?"

Higashino was reading "Young Runtu" with his Chinese textbook, when he was suddenly affected.

I really want to tell him that I am Bird Akino Mirai.

But bear with it, if it is revealed, accidents are likely to happen, which is why he chose a pseudonym.

There are people who are jealous, or people who are self-righteous.

It will also delay the time to draw comics.

It doesn't matter when you go to university. Musashino Art University Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon should not regard itself as some rare celebrity.

He blinked and looked at Nishimura until he felt embarrassed and put his hands together to apologize: "I'm sorry Dongye, I didn't mean you, but I just think normal people and geniuses are different."

Higashino shook his head, he saw Asahina Yuko get up and walk towards him.

"Don't ignore me, Higashino." Nishimura continued to apologize.

Holding a bento, Asahina Yuko came to Higashihiro's table without changing her expression.

"Please step aside." She said calmly.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Nishimura subconsciously stood up and stood aside.Having never spoken to Asahina Yuko, he didn't even recognize that it was Asahina's voice.

Asahina walked straight in front of Higashino Hibiki, and when Monk Higashino Higashijo was puzzled, she put the lunch in Higashino Hibiki's hand.

"Come on, let's eat."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Only when the long black hair flicked, Nishimura reacted.

"Hig... Higashino! What's going on with you and Asahina-san!"

Higashino took a strange look at the bento, but was also confused.

"Yes? What's going on?" He asked Nishimura.

"How would I know..." Nishimura sat down, looked at the bento, and then raised his eyes, "Higashino, you are so handsome, it's normal for Asahina-san to like you. Damn it! Why not me!"

Bei Ben patted him on the shoulder, comforting him silently.

"Higashino, you can eat." Nishimura said generously, "Asahina-san's happiness is up to you. If it's Higashino, I think it's fine."

Higashino felt even more pressured, looked into the eyes of the three people in front of him, and stared straight at himself.The hungry stomach suddenly lost its appetite.

There were other students in Class A of the 2nd grade, and Higashino felt even more thorny.

He picked up the bento and walked out, "I'm going out to eat."

When I got to the door, I saw a person.

She is Akemi Akimiya.

There is only class tomorrow, but today I came to school with a lunch box.

Higashino moved his nose and smelled the aroma of fried fish.

Suddenly had a guess.

Seeing Higashi Higashi, Akemi Akimiya was smiling like a flower.Just looking at the lunch box in his hand, his smile cooled down.

"Miss Akimiya, is this my lunch?"

"Well," Akemi Akimiya nodded, "You gave me the precious Tezuka trophy, so thank you for the fried fish. It's a pity that you already have a bento."

"I've been using my brain so much recently that I can eat so much."

"Look at you eating like a pig!"

The two walked towards the school lawn.

Under a big tree, Higashino stopped. He sat on the ground and opened the lunch box and bento.

Steaming fried fish, and cold rice and sausage omelette.

The center of the rice made a heart with seaweed, and when Higashino wanted to put the lid back on, it was too late.

He raised his head apprehensively, and finally understood what it means to be glamorous and frosty.

"It's amazing, Higashino-kun, I already have admirers."

A fool would also be jealous with cynicism.

"This is Asahina Yuko's bento." Higashino shook his head, "That child is a little strange, and I don't know what it is."

"Certainly not love."

Higashino is very judgmental about this point, "Maybe she misunderstood something."

"Asahina Yuko?" Akimi nodded, "Wait! What does this have to do with me?"

She froze for a moment, her brain unable to react.
