Full-time cartoonist.

Chapter 352 "Madoka" is almost over!

Higashino Hibiki thought everyone would discuss Kyubey's words, but he didn't expect that the topics on the forum were all about Xiaomi Homura.

"I traveled through time and space to save you."

"Xiao Meiyan has been suppressing her feelings. She is afraid that she will lose Madoka again, so she doesn't dare to get close or contact her. Well, I'm so sad."

The Night of the Witch is coming. Faced with Madoka's concerned words, Xiaomi Homura finally takes off her cold mask, hugs Madoka and begins to cry sadly.

Such Xiaomi Homura scared Madoka to death.

"I am from the future."

"I have met Madoka many times, and I have witnessed your death the same number of times."

"How can I save you? How can I change my destiny?"

"Just to find that answer, I started all over again countless times."

She hugged Madoka tightly, tears streaming down her face, and she spoke out the words she had been hiding in her heart.

To Madoka, Akatsuki Homura is just a transfer student whom she has known for less than a month.

But Xiao Meiyan has met Madoka countless times. Her life has been to save Madoka, and her own meaning has long been forgotten.

Madoka is everything to her, the only beacon of her existence.

"Please, let me protect you."

Xiao Meiyan's last humble words completely exploded this feeling.

It also makes readers sad and shed tears.

In the plot of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" Chapter 21, the second half is more important than the first half.

They therefore ignored Kyubey.

When Teacher Yue Yong faced Ken Nakano, a student who came to seek life guidance, she smiled and answered his doubts, and finally took away the comic book "Weekly Shōnen Jump".

She hasn't bought jump yet, but it's just right now.

Yue Yong couldn't help but shed tears when she read the last paragraph.

"Homura, she is so strong and sad."

"Tori Akino-sensei is also... too hard-hearted."

……

"Teacher Yueyong, she was crying. I saw her wiping her tears in the office."

Kazama came to Nakano Ken and said cautiously.

"Eh?" Nakano nodded thoughtfully, possibly because of the plot of "Madoka".

This made him even more curious. What was the follow-up content that he hadn't finished reading?
The teacher is so hateful. Thinking like this, he curled his lips and said, "The blind date must have failed."

Kazama said naturally: "It should be like this."

The other students said in unison: "That's right."

Yue Yong, a teacher in Class [-] of fifth grade, the news that the blind date failed spread like wildfire and spread widely.

……

Higashino family.

"What happened to your comic?"

Ichiro Higashino, who came home after fishing, asked Hibiki Higashino, "Nakano complained to me, saying it was all your fault that made his grandson depressed."

"Ah?" Hibiki Higashino, who was watching a TV series, turned back in confusion. He thought carefully and had no clue. "The recent "Madoka" didn't depict tragedy. After Tomoe Mami died, Sayaka and Kyoko died together, the magical girls were still alive and well. ah."

Higashino Ichiro's brows twitched, and he realized that so many characters had died in Hibiki Hibiki's comics.

"I'm telling you," Higashino Ichiro said, "is it because you are used to it that you don't feel deeply about tragedy?"

"No," Higashino Hibiki spread his hands, "I've always been very empathetic."

"Haha." Higashino Ichiro smiled, twitching the corners of his mouth, "As long as you are happy."

This made Hibiki Higashi wonder.

At night, he asked Akimiya Akemi, "Have I changed?"

"It's always been loud, nothing has changed."

This made Hibiki relax. The depression of the Nakano children really had nothing to do with him.

The next day, Xiaohe heard Dong Yexiang's troubles yesterday, and he couldn't complain in his heart.

"Teacher, just be yourself."

That's all he could say.

"I'll work hard." Hibiki clenched his fists.

Xiaohe quickly stopped Higashino Hibiki. His daughter had also been depressed because of "Madoka" recently, "Ah no no, teacher just needs to perform normally."

"Is that so?"

"Yeah!" Xiaohe nodded repeatedly.

"I also think it's dad who has crazy thoughts." Akimiya Akemi followed.

"That's good." Dong Yexiang breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiaohe's eyes widened.

In the afternoon, Yoshida came.

The storyboard for the last episode of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" was approved by the Jump editorial department.

After that, the manga can be drawn according to the established storyboard, and Jump will also start to promote the completion of "Madoka".

Add more fire to this comic.

After Yoshida Koji finished his work and was about to leave, Xiaohe stopped him.

"Editor Yoshida, I feel that as a creator, Tori Akino-sensei is a little too cold."

This may be a psychological problem caused by long-term creation.

Xiaohe wanted to communicate with Yoshida.

"Really?" Yoshida asked him doubtfully, "Why don't I think so?"

"The teacher is obviously very gentle, and he is also very emotional."

He thought of the last chapter of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", about the "Principle of the Circle".

This changes the tragedy of the story and brings a healing touch after the endless depression of darkness.

When he saw the storyboard, he couldn't help but marvel at the pure selflessness of Madoka.

Hibiki Higashino who drew such a character...

“Teacher, how warm he is,” Koji Yoshida looked up and sighed, “He is simply a ‘soldier of love’. "

"Huh?" Xiaohe took two steps back. He suddenly remembered a Chinese article, "Zou Ji Satirized the King of Qi for Accepting Admonition."

Editor Yoshida and Mrs. Higashino both loved Teacher Tori Akino deeply and changed their perceptions.

He turned away.

……

"Yoshida-kun, haven't you left yet?"

Hibiki Higashino took a drink of water and saw Koji Yoshida when he went out.

"Mr. Xiaohe just came to see me for something."

"Does he want to contribute?"

"No," Yoshida shook his head, "Mr. Xiaohe is concerned about the teacher, but it's just unfounded worries."

"Oh," Higashi Hibiki nodded and said, "I have something to ask you."

When Yoshida Koji heard this, he walked to the sofa and sat down, "Teacher, just tell me. If you can help, I will definitely help."

Higashino Hibiki walked to him after receiving the water, "Can you contact Mr. Ryuze?"

Yoshida was puzzled, "Ah, why?"

"Of course it's because of "Magical Girl Duel"..." Hibiki Higashino stood and drank water, "Although it's not good for me and it's inconvenient to interfere with other people's creations, but..."

"Is there something troublesome about Teacher Longze?"

"The first three chapters of this comic are very attractive to me. The three-dimensional sense of the characters and the creative angle are very good, and they focus on social issues. But the latest content, why is it superficial?"

He was puzzled.

The first three chapters of "Magical Girl Duel" are about campus bullying, environmental pollution, and the shining points of human beings in danger.

It gave him a feeling of seeing hope after despair, which was touched by the existence of the magical girl.

But the content behind it suddenly changed, losing the flavor of the work, and began to highlight the battle between magical girls and magical girls. This battle is also very meaningless, just to show violence and bloody tools.

This comic suddenly fell from a meaningful work to a piece of shit.

This made Higashi Hibiki confused.

"I'm sorry, Tori Akino-sensei," Yoshida scratched his hair, "Actually, I had a very unpleasant quarrel with Ryuzawa's editor."

"Then forget it."

Higashino Hibiki glanced at Yoshida Koji. This guy looked like a gangster, and he really had poor interpersonal relationships.Not useful.

But in fact, Yoshida has always been worried about Longze following the trend.

He and his colleagues were always talking and laughing.

……

on friday.

Longze received the news that the score of "Magical Girl Duel" has dropped to 15th place.

His eyes widened, then dimmed.

I have tried my best to draw, but the result is still not working.

"I really have no talent..."

……

on Monday.

"Weekly Shonen Jump" is released.

"Magical Girl Duel is getting boring."

"Eh? Wasn't the fight fierce?"

"The plot is empty, what's the point of only bloody violence?"

"That's right. I just said I didn't like it anymore. In fact, I still liked this comic before."

"Me too, but I never dared to say it. What a shame."

"Everyone says they are following the trend, but the previous "Duel" had its own core, but it was gradually abandoned by Mr. Longze."

On the street, several high school students were communicating while going to school.

“It’s always been like that in comics.”

"Let me watch "The Tutor" first."

"That cartoon has no meaning at all. It's just boring everyday stuff."

"Let's read Puella Magi Madoka Magica. This manga is about to reach its climax."

"Ah."

The boy standing in the middle opened "Weekly Shōnen Jump".

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica" is the first manga in the catalog, and I flipped through it easily.

"The battle between Xiao Meiyan and Witch Night, wait! This is..." He was stunned.

"what?"

"Madoka is coming to an end!"

"what!"

Other high school students hurriedly came over to take a look. On the cover page of "Madoka", they saw a notice that the work was about to be completed.

"It's actually true!"

"It's unbelievable. It was only serialized for half a year..."

……

"What? It's almost over?" Tetsurou Araki looked at Jump and made a surprised sound.

"As far as the story is concerned, it has indeed come to an end, but...it really doesn't make sense."

Obviously the results are so good.

"Araki-kun," his colleague said to him with a smile, "the "Death Note" you produced was only serialized for one year. You should be used to it."

"That's true..." Araki Tetsurou nodded, distressed, "But, I still can't bear to part with it."

"What are you reluctant to give up?" Masao Maruyama came over and asked with a smile.

"It's a manga by Tori Akino-sensei," the colleague said. "Araki-kun couldn't bear to put down Puella Magi Madoka Magica."

"That's it," Masao Maruyama pinched his chin, "Araki-kun."

"Yes, Mr. Maruyama."

"It's up to you to create the animation for "Puella Magi Madoka Magica."

"The animation of "Madoka"!" Araki's eyes sparkled, "Got it!"

……

"Tori Akino is finished again."

"I don't even have the chance to serialize it in Jump, but I always hear the news that Tori Akino's manga is finished."

"I'm used to it."

"Toriakino-sensei, he is so impatient."

Cartoonists expressed their feelings.

Some of them are working hard to submit articles, hoping to enter the serialization conference.

Some comics have been serialized for three to five years.

Strangers like Hibiki Higashikata are really rare.

……

"Puella Magi Madoka Magica is coming to an end!"

"No!"

In various places in Tokyo, delinquents about to fight on the streets of Ikebukuro, couples stuck together, teachers preparing lessons, and students on their way to school all screamed in pain when they saw the notice on the jump.

"I don't want to see this kind of thing end!"

……

"The completion time will probably be mid-October."

Hibiki Higashino looked out the window, "If you think about it carefully, it seems like yesterday that we started serializing Madoka Madoka."

"It didn't take long, didn't it?" Sasaki sat aside and said frankly.

"Ah, that's it." Higashi Hibiki sat opposite him, staring straight at him, "Sasaki-san, what's the matter with you coming today?"

Sasaki didn't care about his dissatisfied look.

Yoshida needs to flatter Akino, but he doesn't.

"Some decisions regarding the ending of Madoka."

Sasaki told Higashino Hibiki that Jump will advertise this matter widely in newspapers, television and other information carriers.

This is a normal job, good traffic should not be wasted.

"At the same time, the second volume of Madoka will be available as a single volume."

"Ah."

"There will also be news about the anime adaptation of Puella Magi Madoka Magica."

"Animation!" Hibiki Higashino was surprised, "How come I didn't know about this!"

"Have I not told you yet?"

"of course not!"

Hibiki Higashino has always supported Jump's decision.

The animation results of previous comics such as "The Soul of the Game" were quite good, so Tori Akino had no doubts. This made Sasaki almost forget that animation must seek the decision of the cartoonist.

Sasaki acted as if nothing had happened, "In the animation company, I chose "Madhouse", and the supervisor is Tetsurou Araki, who has worked with you before. What do you think?" "

"I can't give the results yet." Hibiki Higashikata said.

Music plays a large part in the success of "Madoka".

It is difficult to enhance the atmosphere of "Madoka" just by the ability of supervision.

Hibiki Higashino needs a composer with strong emotional appeal.

Until this point is reached, the animation of "Madoka" cannot be carried out.

Sasaki was a little surprised. Hibiki Hibiki has always admired Araki Tetsuro's adaptation of "Death Note".

"Death Note" and "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" have something in common, and he thought Tori Akino would readily agree.

"Okay, I'll inform madhouse about this."

After talking about the work of "Puella Magi Madoka Magica", Sasaki relaxed a little.

He talked about the past with Hibiki Higashikata.

"Your comics always end quickly, and that's the case with "Slam Dunk"."

Former editor Nao Sasaki was troubled by this.

"Death Note and Puella Magi Madoka Magica are still the same today."

"This is your rare flaw."

　My mind is confused today...well, is it a bit off-topic?
