Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 291 This is Bird Akino Mirai
"Death Note" sold 30 copies in the first week, which is already the best work in recent years.

The pillar-level "Naruto" and the first volume of "One Piece" did not have such good results.

"Death Note" was Wang Zha from the beginning, even if Xiaozheng's grades were lower than "The Prince of Tennis", it proved the commercial value of this comic.

It will be Jump's rare million-selling manga.

……

In Shueisha.

The third editorial office.

Takahashi Toshichang, an old friend, was promoted along with Torishima Kazuhiko to become his deputy. After years of cooperation, the two of them already had a tacit understanding.

"Tori Akino-kun has lived up to your expectations."

He could feel the pressure Torishima Kazuhiko faced when the public opinion on "Death Note" was the strongest.

As the newly appointed minister, he paid too much for "Death Note".If the loss outweighs the gain, it is very likely that part of the right to speak will be lost.

"I believe in Tori Akino Mirai, he is a genius." Torishima Kazuhiko said with a smile.

Just like when "Slam Dunk" was serialized in 96, Kazuhiko Torishima bet on the future of Tori Akino, and finally developed a pillar-level manga, which allowed him to secure the position of editor-in-chief of Jump.

This is his proudest move after digging "Dragon Ball".

"Cheers to Akino Tori." Toshichang Takahashi raised his glass.

"Hey, hey, it's not good to drink at work, you have to pay attention to your body." Kazuhiko Torishima looked at Takahashi Toshichang's smiling expression, and helplessly raised his glass.

"Cheers to Tori Akino."

……

"30 a week?" Oda was speechless, "Doesn't this mean that it will break through 100 million in a month?"

"In addition to "Slam Dunk", "Death Note" is the fastest sales record for the first volume of jump comics to break through one million sales!"

Even "One Piece", which was a huge success in serialization at the beginning, did not achieve such outstanding results. It was not until more than two years after the manga was serialized that Oda became a manga artist with a million-level volume sales.

Of course, the current volume of "One Piece" has reached the level of 300 million.

"Mr. Akino Toriyama is amazing." The assistant admired him, this was his unattainable dream, "He is simply the second Akira Toriyama!"

Oda shook his head, "Tori Akino-sensei and Toriyama-sensei are not the same type of manga artist. Tori Akino-sensei pursues more possibilities and is an unpredictable person."

But the person he admires the most is Akira Toriyama.

Oda wanted to jump and let "One Piece" and "Dragon Ball" link up, so that he could work and chase stars.

""Death Note" achieved excellent results because of its tension and excitement, the rhythm changes quickly, and the main line is always drawn. There are more conflicts than readers think, and it makes people breathless. When the manga reaches the 19th chapter, the two The two protagonists have already met face to face, king to king. This is unimaginable by the rhythm of jump comics."

Luffy's dream is to become One Piece, but he didn't leave the East China Sea until the manga No.12, Chapter 100, and sailed into the great route.

One Piece still has a long way to go.

Naruto's Chunin exam in "Naruto" is about to begin.

The road of Naruto is far away.

Everything in "Death Note" is very alternative, but it has opened up another path in the alternative, which is different from the path of all kingly comics.

The assistant nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed an extreme plot."

Oda couldn't help but said, "I can't imagine how long "Death Note" can continue to be serialized if it continues like this!"

The assistant said naively: "The grades are so good, it should be more than five years."

Oda shook his head, "This is Tori Akino, the one who decisively finished "Slam Dunk"."

There are still readers of "Slam Dunk" who are eager for a sequel to this comic.

But with the success of "Death Note", it has become increasingly impossible.

"Unbelievable." The assistant sighed softly, perhaps this is the difference between him and the master.

"Mr. Oda!" The assistant suddenly thought of something, and he asked Oda nervously, "Is there any intention to end "One Piece"?"

"Of course not!" Oda opened his mouth wide and said proudly, "At least ten years."

"Besides, the serialization of "One Piece" is very interesting. I can think of new plots every day, the intersection of different characters, and the setting of new characters. This is a very happy thing. How could it be over early?"

He is one of the rare cartoonists who enjoys the process of drawing manga.

"Long live!" the assistant cheered!
……

At Higashino Hibiki's house, he faced Yoshida who was excitedly announcing the good news.

"Oh, 30, that's awesome."

Higashino raised his head weakly and said.

"Also, Yoshida, don't be so excited, it's easy to break the oppressive atmosphere of serializing "Death Note". Look at Tanaka and the others..."

Yoshida looked over, and Tanaka and Omori couldn't help standing up and clapping their hands together to celebrate.

Excitement and excitement are palpable.

This is indeed not the emotion that the serial "Death Note" should have.

As Higashino Hibiki's voice fell, the two assistants sat down awkwardly, and began to turn their ears off the window, focusing only on drawing manga.

"I'm really sorry." Yoshida bowed.

This is a detail that his editor didn't expect.

Higashino waved his hands, drooping his head, "It's okay."

"What's wrong? Mr. Akino Bird, you're so listless..."

Yoshida Koji put down his briefcase and asked with concern.

"It's nothing." Higashino rubbed his hair. "A while ago, didn't I have no time to draw "Death Note"? The main work was entrusted to Omori and Tanaka, so when I had free time, I wrote it in private. I wrote a storyboard, and the result is getting better and better.”

This storyboard is Master Kon Min's masterpiece "Red Pepper". In terms of the depth of the work, it is even higher than "Millennium Actress".

It is a product of genius.

So it's also very complicated.

Relying on his memory, Higashino recalled the plot of the animation, and now he wants to perfectly adapt "Red Pepper" to the comics.

This must be very difficult, and he could not do it before. Only Higashino, who has been in the industry for 8 years, dares to try it.

This classic cannot be discredited.

With such thoughts, his brain energy is not enough.

That's why it's like being in a trance.

"Teacher," Yoshida was very curious about the new work, but he still warned worriedly: "You should pay attention to rest."

Higashino was 2002 years old in 26, still a young man.

Yoshihiro Togashi, who faced Yoshida, also worked too hard when he was young, and his energy was exhausted, and his body collapsed as a result.

Fu Jian has to use special tools to draw manga and go to the toilet, and his body is dragged down by his hard work.

Yoshida doesn't want Higashino to follow in the footsteps of Yoshihiro Togashi.

"Ah, thank you, I have time to plan." Higashino replied.

His child is about to be born, and he doesn't want to be a sick person when facing the child.

"So can you let me take a look?" Yoshida pressed his cheeks embarrassedly, "It's about the new work."

Higashino looked at him helplessly.

"can."

……

"Death Note" No.19.

Yue successfully passed the exam and entered Dongying University.

This Dongying University is a fusion of the University of Tokyo and Keio University, which shows that it is the most high-end institution of higher learning.

It also appeared in the comic "Dream Eater" after the combination of size and size.

Yuehe L, known as Liuhe Hanshu, gave a speech as the top student with the highest score in all subjects.

Of the two of them, one is meticulous and a scholar who grew up in a greenhouse.

One is slovenly, eccentric, full of wildness, and has the eccentric air of a genius.

Two people who are completely opposite.

Yue is very curious about the strange flowing river and dry trees.

After stepping down, L talked about Kira.

In the end, he leaned closer to Yue's ear: "I am L."

"This...that's what I said!"

Araki Hirohiko's eyes widened.

He thought there would be a battle of wits and courage, and L hid his identity to look for clues about Yue Shikira.

As a result, L blurted out his identity directly!
This bold development startled Araki.

"In other manga, to reach this point, no matter what, there must be ten or twenty chapters."

I can also write about the bond between L and Yue in the temptation.

Detectives and criminals are rivals as well as friends, and it is a very popular setting that the detective will try the criminal with a painful heart.

But Bird Akino just skipped it in the future.

"It's funny." Araki couldn't help laughing.

"Death Note, how far can we go?"

He doesn't know.

The current L thinks that the possibility of Yue being Kira is less than 5%, but with the development of the plot, this level will definitely increase by leaps and bounds, and within a few episodes, it will reach the level of explosiveness.

……

Yue was startled by L's words and her legs trembled.

His brain was spinning rapidly, thinking of himself as the son of a policeman, how should he answer in a reasonable and reasonable manner without arousing the suspicion of Liu He Hanshu who claimed to be L.

"If that's the case, you are the one I respect and look forward to."

After returning home, Yue cursed L loudly, and he understood that he had been severely played and beaten.

He can't take action against L. If something happens to L, Yue, who knows the identity of the other party, is the direct suspect.

If after the shot, the current L is just a stand-in, it would be even more ridiculous!
He had nothing to do with L, and after laughing at L's alienation from the police, he was pinned down by L.

The pride in the past has become the irony of himself now.

So Yue behaved hysterically.

"Why is this..." Miyano Ken stared blankly at the manga, a little dissatisfied.

The moon that wants to be a god is not at all unreasonable.

The plot of the new episode does not show Yue longing for a capable opponent, but instead getting annoyed because L is too strong.

"Just like a clown."

Yue in "Death Note" is very charming most of the time. He is extremely confident and can do everything with ease.

But when things get out of his control, Yue becomes a cannon fodder villain.

The moon who dared not face the exposed identity, the moon who had no responsibility.

"It's strange." Miyano Ken pouted.

……

Higashino wrote several replies and asked Shueisha to post them.

"It's strange." Koji Yoshida looked at the address, and there was a reply letter next to the Red Maple Villa, "It's for the children next door to Teacher Akino, why do you need to post it?"

Thinking this way, he still handed over the mail to the postman.

Koji Yoshida, who is busy with affairs, decided not to do unnecessary things.

It is also a lesson he learned from Omori.

After returning to the studio, Sasaki, the chief executive, beckoned, "Please inform Mr. Akino Tori, I will visit after get off work today and ask if he is free."

"Okay." Yoshida nodded immediately.

But he was lamenting in his heart that he had to work overtime again at night.

When the editor-in-chief visits the cartoonist, the editor in charge must also be present.

After 7:[-] p.m., Higashino’s work at home was over, and his assistants left together. Only Higashino and his wife waited quietly for Sasaki’s visit.

"Mr. Sasaki, what's the matter?" Akemi Akimiya asked Higashino curiously.

"Maybe it's just a relationship." Higashino replied.

Not long after, the doorbell rang, and Higashino went out to greet him.

Sasaki carries a gift, which is a health product with nutritional value for pregnant women.

"The last time I came in a hurry, I didn't bring jump's gift, I'm really sorry." He said to Akemi Akimiya.

"No, Mr. Sasaki, you have been able to visit, it has already flourished."

Sasaki's kindness was hard to turn down, and Akemi Akimiya accepted it.

……

After sitting down in the studio, Sasaki drank tea, his face could not hide his fatigue.

He asked Higashino Hibiki if he had any requests, and Jump would definitely satisfy him.

As Higashino Hibiki said, Sasaki came to connect with the relationship.

Perhaps it was because after he became the editor-in-chief, he had no one to talk to. Faced with the pressure of work, he found friends to relieve him.

"It's only now that I understand Minister Torishima's ability. Back then when he faced the declining sales of magazines, he was under much greater pressure than I am now. He was able to hand in a perfect score in the end. He is really amazing."

It is not easy to be the editor-in-chief after the new century. Facing the impact of the Internet and the decrease of newborns, the decline in sales of comic magazines is an inevitable result.

Sasaki tried his best, but he couldn't stop the pace of the times.

"Mr. Torishima is very powerful, but you, editor-in-chief Sasaki, are also very powerful."

Higashino comforted him, "It's just like Yoshida, in terms of editing ability, it's a million miles away from you back then."

Yoshida worked hard, but was equally immature.

When Sasaki was the editor of Higashi Higashino, he didn't come up with amazing ideas, but he was not famous for being a good fighter, and the serialization didn't go wrong, that's because of his ability as an editor.

All problems are extinguished in the bud.

"I..." Yoshida pointed at himself speechlessly, and he fell down by accident.

"Chief editor..." He looked at Sasaki, hoping that his boss would say something nice.

"Well, that's true." Sasaki nodded.

Yoshida: "..."

Higashino sat upright, he suddenly had an idea.

"The dilemma of the editor-in-chief is the decline in the circulation of jump. If you want to make jump more popular, you have to tap a new generation with more potential."

Today's bigwigs all stand out from the Manga Awards, Tezuka Awards, and Akatsuka Awards.

The achievements of jump have nothing to do with the rewards of these newcomers.

Sasaki nodded and waited quietly for Higashino to write.

"The opportunity to serialize comics is too difficult. If we can design a channel that allows new writers to have a shortcut, then maybe we can let all the heroes of the world fall into my trap."
