Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 30 Review Comment Form

Akimi's rice is still so delicious.Higashino finished eating with satisfaction.

As for Asahina Yuko's bento, it can only be said to be quite satisfactory, but fortunately, the ingredients are solid and there is a lot of meat.

The number of meals for Japanese people is not much, so Higashino Higashi is just full for these two bentos.

Akemi Akimiya went back with her lunch box.

Higashino cleaned the bento box and returned it to Yuko Asahina.

At 3:40 pm, after school, Higashino bid farewell to the trio of friends, took the original manuscripts of the first three chapters of "Soul of Chess", and took the subway to Shueisha.

It was editor Sasaki who came to him for something, but it just happened to be the meeting, and he had just finished drawing the original manuscripts of the first three chapters of "The Soul of Chess".

But before going to Shueisha, he went to a nearby shopping mall and spent a lot of money to buy a mobile phone.

A total of 38w yen was spent.

The mobile phone fee is 24w yen plus miscellaneous expenses.

It is already worth more than one month's salary of ordinary people, and the main cost is the phone bill later.

If he hadn't been selected for the Tezuka Award, he would have been reluctant to spend huge sums of money to buy a mobile phone that can only be used for making calls, and the signal is very poor.

The mobile phone had to go back to charge, so Higashino could only carry the packing bag and enter Shueisha.

Sasaki was notified through the front desk, Higashino Hibiki went to Room [-] to wait.

A voice came from the second room.

"Well, it's a mess, I didn't realize the reader's thoughts, and I was only drawing comics with my own blood..."

Higashino looked over subconsciously, and it was Kazuhiko Torishima who was reprimanding the contributors with the manuscript.

The opponent clenched his fists tightly, lowered his head, and his body was tense.

Higashino Hibiki felt unwilling and depressed.

"Anyway, I can't accept this manuscript." Torishima Kazuhiko stood up, and under Higashino's disbelieving gaze, he put the painstakingly painstaking manuscript on the shredder.

"Okay, such a work should be smashed."

The contributor couldn't take it anymore, he stood up angrily, grabbed the manuscript, put it in the shredder, and said to Kazuhiko Torishima: "Next time, I will come up with a work that satisfies you!"

He rushed out of Room 2 and left without looking at Higashino Hibiki.

Torishima Kazuhiko sighed, and Higashino looked at each other.

"He still has a lot of potential, it shouldn't just be this kind of work."

"Mr. Torishima is really strict."

However, Akira Toriyama, who was tortured by him, and Gui Masakazu still maintained a good relationship with him, and they all extended a helping hand to "VJUMP".

Only people like him can stimulate the author's potential even more.

……

Kazuhiko Torishima went to work, Higashino waited for a while, and Sasaki came.

After saying hello, he was just about to sit down.

"Sorry, I forgot to bring the review paper, you and I can go to the editorial department."

"Can I go up too?" Hibiki Higashino looked forward to it.

This is the editorial department of "Weekly Shonen Jump", where countless classic works were born.

He has been curious for a long time.

"Of course it doesn't matter, there were elementary school students who came to visit last week."

Sasaki was at the front desk, brought a badge with "guest" printed on it, and handed it to Hibiki Higashino.

This was what the guest meant, Higashino pinned it to his chest, and took the elevator to the second floor expectantly.

When the elevator opened, he was pleasantly surprised.

Facing the elevator entrance is a lot of posters and standing signs!
Kujo Jotaro from jojo, Kakarot from Kamehae Qigong, and Saint Seiya and Kenjiro!
Every character poses with passion and passion.

Higashino was dazzled and didn't know where to look.

For a moment, he opened his mouth wide and froze.

"Come here, please."

After hearing Sasaki's words, he came back to his senses and followed.

"People who come here for the first time will be intimidated when they get out of the elevator."

After passing through the long corridor, Sasaki stopped at a door, "This is it."

He pushed open the door, and immediately there was a loud voice.

Looking inside, it looks like several hundred square meters, but it doesn't look empty at all.

It is full of work desks, and there are cardboard boxes piled up next to it, all of which are office documents and copy manuscripts. The space is used up and it looks a bit crowded.

In addition to these, there are even more voices.There are voices on the phone, communicating with each other, and the sound of copiers printing.

The people in the aisle came and went in a hurry.

What a lively scene.

Although it is all for work, but the appearance of hard work, associating with the comics that can make people happy, there is a kind of emotion in my heart.

"This is the editorial department of Jump."

When Higashino sighed, Sasaki came over with the review comments.He took Dong Yexiang to a table and chair in the corner and sat down, and then began to discuss the short story "Soul of Chess".

"Even if it is selected, there are still many issues that can be discussed." Holding the submissions, he said to Higashi Higashino: "The judges include Mr. Akira Toriyama, Mr. Shinfa Morita, Mr. Wu Lunzun, and other judges. Tsuka Manufacturing Co., Nobuhiko Horie, editor-in-chief of jump, and Kazuhiko Torishima, editor-in-chief of vjump."

"Analyzed from various aspects such as painting power, composition power, and script."

He paused, and looked up at Higashino Hibiki.

Higashino nodded, "Well, I'm listening."

"The painters of "Soul of Chess" have no problem. Most of them scored 5 points, and the reviewers who scored 4 points only considered that you are still a high school student with potential, so they deliberately deducted one point to not satisfy you."

Sasaki handed the review opinion to Higashi Higashino.

Higashino took it, and found that almost everyone was selected for this item, so he drew a circle and circled it.

This is all passed.

The scoring is based on a 5-point system. In various evaluations, 5 points and 4 points are divided in half, and 3 points are not even given.

It looks like a statement with a good grade.

It's just a little bad, a lot of 4 points are script aspects.

He raised his head and looked at Sasaki puzzledly.

"You have also noticed that in terms of scripts, cartoonists give 5 points, while editors and company people score 4 points." Sasaki pointed out, "Cartoonists care about the plot. But editors and the others pay more attention to the plot. Benefit."

"There is no jump style in the short story, it just tells a regretful story in its entirety."

"Although the protagonist has special abilities, he exists for Fujiwara Sawai throughout the whole process."

"Such a weak-conscious, tool-like protagonist does not meet the requirements of jump, with a distinctive personality and a maverick character."

Higashino was somewhat complacent after reading the comments on the opinion form.

He drew Toranojiro in the background of "Soul of Chess" into a short story, and the result was very good.

This made him feel like, what, comics and so on, I can also draw them.

As a result, after being pointed out by Sasaki, he immediately calmed down.

Toranojiro's character was created by Higashi Higashino, so it became a shortcoming.

He lacks awe for serial comics.

"The Tezuka Award is only a newcomer award. There is nothing to be complacent about!"

One rank above the chickens is only a chicken, not a phoenix.

　Thanks to Alex for freezing and eating live fish for three rewards.
