Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 48 Animation

Hiroichi Nakai looked at the members of the Go club in a room, tears welled up his eyes.

He still remembers that when the Weiqi club was first established, a new recruitment poster was posted in the publicity area, but was torn up by the basketball club and their notice was pasted up.

After that, it can only be pasted in a hidden corner, hoping that one day, it will be effective.

Today, the haze is gone, and "Go Club" can be said to be a popular club.

The appearance of these members concentrating on playing chess is exactly the scene he has been waiting for for a long time!
experience!experience!
I finally got rewarded today, but fortunately I didn't give up.

He wiped his eyes vigorously until his eyelids turned red, expressing his deep affection, "Thank you, Mr. Akino Bird, I really love him to death!"

Higashino sounded at the side, and when he heard his words, he shook his head violently.

……

Horie Nobuhiko is at the office.

He first looked at Xiaozheng's recent rankings.

Of the four works included in the serialization meeting last Christmas, except for "Soul of Chess" and "The Sun Killing Incident", the other two were all cut in half.

He frowned, stretched again.

This is also normal. Japan's No. [-] manga magazine has confidence, and good works emerge one after another. If it is cut in half, there will be vacancies, and new works will be filled soon.

Just like this, one up and one down, the waves washed the sand, and the popular comics were selected.

When seeing the results of "Murder in the Sun", Horie Nobuhiko nodded in satisfaction.

"No.6, full stamina, not bad."

Because of the excellent performance of the works, it has attracted many readers of popular literature.

The cooperation with "The Spring and Autumn Period of Literature and Art" has initially achieved results.

After that, "Soul of Chess", Sasaki's evaluation at the beginning, he still remembers in his ears, so he always pays special attention to it.

As Sasaki said, Akino Tori is a genius in the future, and the results of "Soul of Chess" are very good.

The first echelon under "Dragon Ball" and "Yu Yu Hakusho", this time at No.5.

Akino Mirai, who is still a rookie, can already get a glimpse of his potential.

Horie Nobuhiko nodded, very happy.

Every talent unearthed is a building block for Jump.

He never cared about any paper magazines, or peripheral development. He was also impartial in the battle between the former editor-in-chief and Kazuhiko Torishima.

As a middleman, just do your own thing.

This is also the reason why he is as stable as Mount Tai. What Shueisha executives hope is not the editor-in-chief of Quandou, but the editor-in-chief who can bring benefits.

"It's time to give a coloring page to "Soul of Chess", "he muttered to himself.

After that, he turned over other documents.

"This is..." Horie Nobuhiko stared.

"It's so early!"

This is an application letter from the Clown Society, the content is...

About the animation of "Soul of Chess"!
""Soul of Chess" is only serialized to the sixteenth episode," Nobuhiko Horie was puzzled, "Why is it so fast?"

Popular works have to wait until half a year after serialization.

The success of "Soul of Chess" has just started, and it is impossible to know its follow-up situation. As a newcomer high school manga artist, Mirai Tori Akino pursues freedom with a twitch of his brain, and scribbles all at once.Or it may become mediocre in the later period of the manga, which is very likely to happen.

However, animation requires a lot of money and manpower time. How can it be possible without enough profit-driven?
Regarding this aspect, Horie Nobuhiko still needs to think carefully.

He pressed the application first.

……

"Yoshihara Village".

Since the serialization of "Soul of Chess", all the original manuscripts have been consumed.

The living room studio where only two people draw manga is getting busier.

Every day after class, when I return to the dormitory, I will draw non-stop, and sometimes I need to drink black coffee to work overtime.

Akemi Akimiya, who had just finished drawing a page, went to the bathroom and didn't come back for a long time.

Higashino Hibiki only focused on drawing.

It wasn't until the scream of "Ahhhh!" that he raised his head in shock and looked like Akemi Akimiya, "What's wrong? Something happened!"

"Look," Akimi pointed at her eyes, "don't you see anything wrong?"

"What's wrong?" Higashino asked curiously.

"Dark circles! Dark circles!" She turned around violently, "If you don't find an assistant, I will quit!"

Higashino quickly comforted her, pressed down on the sofa, and rubbed her shoulders and back.

"I bought three work desks just to find another assistant."

"Ah~" Akemi Akimiya groaned comfortably, and then rolled her eyes, "Then why haven't you started to act yet?"

Higashino said: "Because I work in the dormitory, I don't want strangers to disturb Yoshii and the others. Considering recruiting Yoshii or Nanlai as an assistant."

As an art student, it is enough to be responsible for some unimportant work.

"Then hurry up."

"Let's talk tomorrow," Higashino's hand was moderately strong, which made Akimi feel better, "Didn't it be spring break before? I don't want to disturb them to accompany their families."

……

The next day, it was the weekend.

After conceiving the storyboard, Higashino went out.

Looking at his messy hair, he decided to go out and get a haircut.

From the bald head that crossed over to the present, it has affected normal life.

Come to Shibuya and find a mid-range hair salon.

Tony looked at Higashi Higashino and frowned, "The foundation is so good, but the hairstyle is unsightly. I don't care about my appearance at all."

He was holding the scissors, clicking, and his heart was already itchy.

Higashino actually wanted to get a bald head. Although he couldn't see people during that time, it was really comfortable to be bald.

It's a pity that I don't have the courage now.

"Please give me a suitable hairstyle." Higashino said.

He doesn't know what's popular now, so leave it to the professionals.

Teacher Tony gave a thumbs up, "What a vision!"

After exchanging the price, Higashino entrusted the other party with full authority.

Close your eyes, close your eyes and rest your mind.

This is already a rare break.

When I opened my eyes, I couldn't seem to recognize the person in the mirror.

Slightly curly hair, with a flamboyant side, paired with sharp eyes, changed from the usual mediocrity, and became radiant and aggressive.

"Oh! So handsome." Teacher Tony was very satisfied.

But not free.

Higashino looked at the mirror, his eyelids shrugged, he was just an ordinary handsome guy.

He still likes it that way.

After paying to go out, I just didn't take a few steps.

A delivery boy from a ramen shop passed him by on a bicycle.

"Yoshii?" Higashino suspected that he had read it wrong.

How can that person be sure to be Yoshii?

He is the child of a banker, he is not short of money at all, and he has no interest in working before.

And now it's the third year of high school, don't hurry up and study, come to social practice?
He suddenly remembered that Yoshii had only returned to the dormitory at night with a tired face in the past few months.

She looks exactly like Migrant Worker Minami Chiharu!

"What happened?"
