Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 41 I am the author!
The first chapter of "Soul of Chess" scored No.2 in Xiaozheng's score.

As a rookie, Higashino Hibiki is already very good.

On Monday, he saw a cartoon of "Killing the Sun."

At the beginning, someone died, and the protagonist came to investigate as a policeman.

Before the story started, Higashino paid attention to Arai's painter.

His performance on jump is very average, and he is often cut in half after not being serialized for a long time.He was once jokingly called the King of Slashing in Half.

But his drawing skills are really strong. Even the rough paper on the jump allows Higashino to clearly see the micro-expressions of the characters.

Not to mention perspective or something, it is just the basis of Arai.

Delicate and delicate, it hardly looks like a weekly comic.

Hibiki Higashino was brought into the rhythm of the manga, and before he knew it, he had already finished reading it.

"On jump, reasoning manga is not pleasing, it is a niche work," Akemi Akimiya squeezed her chin to analyze, "I don't know if Yamamura's manga can persist-it is known and attracted by readers who are used to reasoning manga in other manga magazines. Before coming here, don't be cut in half."

"He's different," Higashino analyzed. "He's the winner of the Naoki Award. He's serialized in Jump and has more media reports. He has a reader base and traffic, and his results won't be bad."

On Tuesday, Sasaki informed that the speed report score of "Soul of Chess" is No.5.

Because it was a transitional episode, Hikari Shinto took Zuowei to the Go school to learn modern Go, and even gave some simple science popularization to readers.

Except for the appearance of the man who is closest to the "God's Hand" in Japan, Taya Yukihiro, and Taya Ryo's heartache about losing to Shinto Hikari, there is no extra information.

So it is understandable to get No.5.

But on Saturday, Xiaozheng's score dropped to seventh, which is already a very bad situation.

In contrast, "Sun Killing Incident" turned out to be No.1.

Very different.

Akemi Akimiya was a little worried when she learned about it. When Higashino was sitting and watching TV, she brought the brewed tea and sat beside Higashino.

"Are you still going to the book signing tomorrow? Why don't you use the extra time to revise the plot of the manga?"

"Or redraw the fourth chapter again, and draw it more delicately."

Higashino shook his head, and watched the program "Super Change" on TV without distraction, not caring about the predicament at all.

"It's amazing, it simulates a roller coaster!"

He couldn't help applauding, this variety show is so interesting and full of imagination.

"Higashi, you bastard!" Akemi Akimiya patted the table and stared at him, "Be serious!"

Higashino turned around in surprise, "What's the matter? Mr. Qiugong, why are you so angry?"

Akemi Qiu Gong said sternly: "How much effort and effort have you put in to be able to serialize in Jump? Why don't you cherish it? If you are cut in half by the work."

"Tono, you will regret it!"

"I am the author!" Dongye replied sharply.

"Ok?"

Seeing that Akemi's face was purple with anger, Higashino laughed and raised his hands in surrender, "I'm just joking, calm down, calm down."

He pointed to the phone and explained: "The second chapter "Soul of Chess" is No.7, and Mr. Sasaki is not in a hurry. This result is within his and my expectations, so there is no need to mess up."

Akimi's face softened, she lightly punched Higashino Higashino's chest, picked up the tea and left quickly.

"My tea!"

"Hmph, I won't give you a drink even if I pour it out."

Higashino shook his head helplessly, feeling that his status after marriage would not be guaranteed.

The next day, ten in the morning.

Higashino and Akemi Akimiya took the subway and went to the signing event of Ms. Fumi Saimon at the Mandarake Ikebukuro branch.

Seeing that Higashino bought a copy of "Tokyo Love Story" in advance, Akemi Akimiya looked at him with weird eyes.

Higashino Hibiki had a thick skin and didn't care.

Higashino was very envious in the queue for Mr. Fumi Chaimen's autograph session.

The long queue, after waiting for more than ten minutes, has not arrived yet.

There are couples, there are couples, everyone is looking forward to it.

Higashino hopes that he can hold such a signing event one day.

"You can definitely do it." Akemi Akimiya seemed to see what he was thinking, and pumped her fists, "You are a genius, a super genius who can serialize at the age of 17."

Then she sighed again, remembering her own tragic creativity.

Higashino smiled, "Thank you, Miss Akimiya, I also believe there will be such a day."

Honoka Takasaka once said, "One day... one day we will definitely fill this place with seats!"

Of course Higashino has such self-confidence, he has a lot of strength.

"I will definitely become a popular manga artist, the pillar of Jump!"

Akimi looked at the person in front of her and almost forgot that he was just a high school student.

Really confident and high-spirited.

It's enviable.

After a few more minutes, the two of them finally arrived.

Teacher Caimenwen is a middle-aged woman who looks very kind, gentle and dignified.

When Higashino handed over the "White Paper on Love", he still signed it.

When she raised her head curiously, she suddenly laughed.

"Qiu Gong, is this your boyfriend? He looks quite handsome."

"No, no, no," Akemi Akimiya shook her head like a rattle, "He's also a manga artist, and I'm his assistant now. And he and I were assistants at Akira Toriyama's teacher, just friends."

Higashino looked at her in surprise, but didn't even say she was a student.

"Akira Toriyama?" Fumi Saimon glanced at Higashi Higashi, pinched his chin and asked, "Could it be that you are Tori Akino-kun? The author of "The Soul of Chess."

Hiroshi Tono nodded.

"I have read "Soul of Chess". Although it has just started serialization, the story is delicate and very similar to the style of a female writer. It is a very interesting manga. And I like the role of Fujiwara Satoshi very much." Fumi Saimon took out a signature board , Pushing it in front of Higashino Hibiki.

"You should also sign for me. I will work harder for my future creations. I want to continue watching."

Higashino lay on his stomach and signed his name eloquently.

Chinese characters are used, regular script is used, the board is upright, and the strength penetrates the back of the paper.

"Thank you very much." Caimenwen tidied up carefully, looked at the anxious crowd behind Higashino Hibiki, "I'm going to continue working, we'll talk next time."

After the two left, she thought while signing.

"Tori Akino Mirai... Akino, what can it be if it's not a couple? Pfft, and pretending to be friends, that brat Akino, what are you pretending to be?"

She smiled and learned an interesting gossip.

"It's obviously a good match, just like me back then."

When she debuted, she was the assistant of manga artist Hirokan Kenshi, and then they got married, and they have always been harmonious and beautiful.

"It's nice to be young."

……

Leaving the Saimon Wen signing event, Higashino and Akemi Akimiya went to the amusement park. On the highest point of the Ferris wheel, Higashino sighed happily while looking at the scenery outside the window and Akemi Akimiya beside him.

"Great, now."
