Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 5 Being Akira Toriyama's Assistant

Higashino looked at Kazuhiko Torishima's face, which turned from black to livid, and finally turned red.

But after all, he is the editor-in-chief, and his energy-raising skills are in place. He changed the subject, "Your drawing is very good, and you can already serialize it. In the field of comics, you have extraordinary talent. However, the foundation of comics is only very low-level. cognition."

Higashino nodded, the editor in front of him was indeed Bole.

I am already the editor-in-chief, and I can still focus on the selection of newcomers.

Even if he got mad, he still didn't give up.

Very responsible, he is the best candidate to set foot in the comics industry at this stage.

Higashino thought about it carefully for a long time, and he wanted to have a good life because he had no ability.

One is to go to a good university, but after graduation there is no chance, and they are only middle class.

The second is literary creation, and the income of cartoonists is among the best among them, and they don't pay much attention to diction.

In addition, "Hirobi Higashino" possesses superhuman drawing ability, so if he doesn't choose to draw manga, he would be reckless.

In my mind, I have classic comic material.

Waiting for great success and diving out of the abyss, you can become a popular cartoonist and live a luxurious life.

Looking at Kazuhiko Torishima who was desperately changing the topic in front of him, he discovered Akira Toriyama, who is very capable, and it would be great to study under him.

"Well, Mr. Torishima, I want to draw manga!" Higashino looked at him sincerely.

"Huh?" Torishima Kazuhiko was taken aback.

The person who was careless just now suddenly became so enthusiastic, his eyes seemed to be able to burn into Torishima Kazuhiko's heart.

He even thought that the reality was a royal and passionate comic.

"I'm not young anymore."

He shook his head, feeling sad that he didn't understand the brain circuits of young people.

"Mr. Torishima, please teach me."

Facing Higashihiro like this, Torishima Kazuhiko kept a straight face, exuding the powerful aura of a professional.

"You are different from Akira Toriyama and Masakazu Gui. The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious." He picked up "Battle of Gods and Men" and turned to the second page, "Look here, everyone only shows half of their faces, too Uniformity can lead to aesthetic fatigue.

Also, there are too many sentences, it looks more like a novel than a manga. "

He turned to the battle scene again and explained word by word, "The use of the storyboard is chaotic, the movement trend is not drawn, and the use of movement trajectory lines is very bad."

"The most important thing is that the content is very boring!" He patted the manga draft, and the saliva in his mouth was sprayed on Higashino's face, "As long as the manga is interesting, even if there are other problems, it can be serialized. And your manga, It makes no sense at all!"

"One thing to say, it's true." Higashino nodded in agreement.

The boy "Hirobi Higashino" plans to draw manga, not because he loves it so much.

It's just that he also understands that he is falling, and the manga is the climbing rope he prepared for himself.

In other words, in the last effort, I used my regrets and hopes in unfamiliar fields.

I don't know whether to break the boat or give up on myself.

And his plot creation is really bad.

I happen to have the memory of countless classic works, which can perfectly make up for this shortcoming!

"It is worthy of being the editor-in-chief of "VJUMP", which is thought-provoking. Listening to a conversation is better than reading ten years of books."

Torishima Kazuhiko glared at him, "Be careful when listening to the lecture."

He was a little helpless, looking at Higashino Hibiki's attitude, he was not unwilling at all, like a bystander.

I don't know if it's heartless, or I don't care.

"Generally speaking," his gaze softened, "your problem is that one is that you have not created excellent content, and the other is that your understanding of drawing comics is very low."

Higashino Hibiki nodded obediently, quietly waiting for his next words.

"The first point needs to be overcome by yourself."

"As for the second point," Torishima Kazuhiko smiled slightly: "In today's manga world, the only person who understands the frontiers of manga is the only one."

……

The storyboarding ability comparable to that of movies, and the most solid basic skills in manga coloring and frame use. The person who has continued to manga for ten years is the author of "Arale" and "Dragon Ball", Akira Toriyama.

In the end, Torishima Kazuhiko proposed that it happened that it was a holiday now, so Higashino could help Higashino obtain the qualification of an assistant from Toriyama Akira.

There will also be a salary, including food and accommodation, and the Japanese salary is 8000 yen.

"That guy called me recently, and it's very troublesome to draw manga by himself." Torishima Kazuhiko said with a smile.

Higashino Hibiki agreed without hesitation.

This is a good opportunity.

After saying goodbye to Kazuhiko Torishima, Higashino asked the waiter and went to the surrounding Internet cafes.

In [-], the computer monitor was still a big head, and Higashino hadn't seen it for a long time.

The computer is pc-98, which is different from the windows operating system. After studying it for a long time, Higashino can still use it.

And without a convenient search engine, you can only find useful websites in the URL.

So half an hour later, Higashino learned more details about Kazuhiko Torishima.

Same as he said, digging Akira Toriyama.

With discerning eyes and discerning essence, Gui Zhenghe developed Gui Zhenghe's talent for painting girls.

Through the photo information in the computer, it is indeed a person.

"I have to thank Mr. Kazuhiko Torishima."

After that, with 20 minutes left, the game was found on the computer.

It's just a text adventure, Higashino Hibiki doesn't like it, and he doesn't support playing this kind of game for the rest of the time, it's over as soon as it started.

Interested in exploring "antiques", he searched for other functions on this "backward" computer.

"IGS? What's this?"

After clicking in, it turned out to be an online Go game platform.

"One minute is enough."

He pursed his lips, and started a confrontation with Go lovers in the world.

15 minutes later,
"Tch, this is the end."

Shaking his head, he left the computer.

The people next to him were very curious. After looking at Higashihiro's back, he looked at the screen.

"Being so arrogant after losing..."

……

After leaving the Internet cafe, there was a hint of heat in the air. Tokyo in August is the hottest time.

Thinking of the sound of the bell chiming on time, Higashino looked at the big clock beside him and was startled, "No, it's 8 o'clock."

I ran in a hurry, and when I got home, it was already 9:20 minutes.

"A thunderbolt from the clear sky!"

In the living room, the lights were brightly lit, and there was a sonorous and forceful sound coming from the TV.

Higashino Xi was kneeling and watching TV, when Higashino came back out of breath, he blamed him a little: "What are you in such a hurry for?"

"Sorry, I'm late Mom."

He sat next to Higashino Shio and watched TV with her.

It's "Volleyball Girl".

When he was a child, he also watched this TV series with his mother.

It depicts the story of a group of female middle school students working hard to participate in the volleyball competition in the 80 Moscow Olympics.

Seeing the pure Xiaolu Junzi jumping high and winning a point with a smash, his eyes were blurred, and he snuggled up to his mother, as if he had returned to his childhood.
