Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 72 Assistant
Akemi Akimiya was in a bad mood. She spent more than half a year drawing manga for a long time, but Sasaki pointed out a lot of shortcomings.

Stream of consciousness, too much emphasis on pictures and lack of storytelling, is not suitable for the jump platform.

Rather than serializing manga, it is better to publish it as a pictorial magazine.

As a child of Ukiyo-e masters, Akemi Akimiya's paintings have an unspeakable artistry. Unfortunately, her dream is to become a manga artist, and she chose an unsuitable path.

Sasaki left for an hour, but she was still unhappy and depressed.

Higashino rubbed his head, he didn't know why he liked Akemi Akimiya so much.

Maybe it's because she likes the purity of manga wholeheartedly, or maybe it's because she is very beautiful.

When Miss Akimiya appeared in front of him in a kimono, his heart skipped a beat.

Thinking of this, he stood up, grabbed Qiugong Mingmei's right hand, and pulled her out of the door.

"You... what are you doing?" Akemi Akimiya panicked.

"Miss Akimiya, I don't like Japanese festivals," Higashino said while walking, "For example, this New Year, I didn't go to the temple to ring the bell, and I didn't draw lots to make a wish, but I will never forget the fireworks display in 1993. "

"Ha..." Akemi Akimiya blushed.

"So please, give me a chance to like Japanese New Year."

"That's it." Akimi stopped, but Higashino couldn't hold her back.

"I'm going to change clothes."

She went upstairs.

……

Near "Yoshihara-so", there is a temple.

It doesn't have much fame, but although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs and everything it should have.

In the cold winter night, Akemi Akimiya was tightly wrapped up, wearing long leather boots, and quietly followed Higashino Hibiki.

Looking up at Higashino Hibiki, she felt a sense of security.

Walking quietly along the tram track, Higashino breathed out, and a long fog filled the air.

After more than 20 minutes, they arrived at their destination.

The temple was empty, and after the New Year, the tranquility of the past was restored.

Higashino Hibiki and Akemi Akimiya walked up to the money box. He dropped a 10 yen coin into it, rang the bell, and clapped his hands together.

I made a wish in my heart.

"Did you do that?" He turned to Akemi Akimiya.

Akemi Akimiya shook her head, "Your ceremony has been simplified a lot, but sincerity is fine."

She imitated Higashino Hibiki's movements, maybe she wished, but she read it out.

"I hope I can serialize the manga." ×3
"Wouldn't it work if you read it out?" Higashino asked.

"It's just to find a spiritual comfort," Akemi Akimiya didn't care, "I think it will be happier to read it now."

"Hahaha," Higashino laughed, "It's really unique, Miss Akimiya."

An outsider like him will be restrained by requirements instead, and the locals will not care if they see a lot.

"Please let Miss Qiugong serialize it as soon as possible."

He expressed his wish just now.

"Eh?" Akemi Akimiya was surprised, "Did you make a wish for me?"

"Well," Higashino nodded, "All my wishes have come true, whether it's serialization or college entrance examination. Only..."

He looked straight at Akemi Akimiya, "Such a wish may go against my dream. Ms. Akimiya will leave me and start a serial, but I think Ms. Akimiya will be happier if this is the only way."

She bowed her head, her ears were all red.

For a moment of shyness, her heart "thumped".

"I regret it," Higashino said.

"During the fireworks display in [-], you shouldn't have confessed rashly."

"Get along with each other a lot first, accumulate feelings in daily life, and when you feel that you are sure of winning, then call out the clarion call of victory."

"When I saw Miss Qiugong, I suddenly fell in love with you. I couldn't control myself for no reason. In the end, I formed a barrier instead."

Maybe it was because he was about to graduate, Higashino spoke out.

His eyes are soft, with warmth and love.

"I've been wondering," Akemi Akimiya laughed "puchi", "why Higashino-kun suddenly fell in love with me, which is very different from the usual you."

"Mature, stable, hardworking, and upward, so that's how it is."

"Yeah," Higashino nodded, "Miss Akimiya is really cute."

The coldness touched his nostrils for a moment, and then turned into water.

Higashino raised his head, and there were snowflakes falling under the dark sky, "It's snowing, let's go back."

"Yeah." Akemi Akimiya nodded.

She was behind Higashino Hibiki, her face flushed.

The heavier the snow fell, the hotter she became unbearable.

She will never forget this New Year's visit today.

……

The next day, Sasaki brought an assistant.

His facial features look good, but he is a bit fat and has pimples on his face, which greatly reduces his appearance.

He introduced himself: "I have watched "Soul of Chess" and I like this work very much. I often wonder why I didn't draw it."

This little fat man talked eloquently, without restraint at all, and chatted a lot.

In 92, when he was still a high school student, he participated in the Tezuka Award under the pseudonym "Yuehuo Mizuki Jintu", just to use this unique pen name to attract the attention of the judges.

The result was a masterpiece, which gave him the confidence to pursue his comics career.

After being admitted to university, he felt that university studies were a waste of time, so he decisively dropped out of school and became an assistant to improve himself.

"Tori Akino, you and Tsuki Nobuhiro are both geniuses. After reading your comics, I am not convinced. I should be able to serialize myself."

Higashino got tired of listening to what he said.

He hasn't stopped talking since entering the house.

He also talked about how when he was a child, he happened to see the second booklet of Dragon Ball, and he felt an indescribable shock.

"It's not worse than Disney comics, but much better. That's what I thought at the time. I became a loyal reader of Mr. Toriyama Akira, the kind who has no brains. I also have my own goal and become a manga artist."

Having said that, he stared at Higashi Hibiki enviously.

Akira Toriyama does not accept assistants. He applied many times but was rejected.

"Ms. Akira Toriyama has been serializing for so many years, and there are only two assistants. After they left, I drew manga by myself." Yuehuo Mizuki Jintu gritted his teeth, "I didn't expect to suddenly accept you as an assistant! What an honor!"

"Hahaha, of course it's because of my extraordinary talent." Higashino laughed.

It's Yu Ze from Hibiki Higashino, a child.

His paintings once moved Akira Toriyama with emotion.

Seeing Yuehuo wanting to speak again, Higashino stretched out his hand to ask him to stop.

Seriously said: "Let me have a look at your painter, we will talk about it after passing."

The assistant is a person who serves the cartoonist, so naturally you need to see his basic skills.

Moonfire nodded confidently.

"I will definitely succeed, tell you my name in advance."

"Oda, Oda Eiichiro."

　Thanks for the reward of Typical House.
