Chapter 89 Ended "Dragon Ball" Seeking First Order
On Friday, Sasaki informed that the Xiaozheng score of "Soul of Chess" was No.2 again.

However, the gap with "Dragon Ball" has narrowed.

""Dragon Ball" is different from most of the works," Sasaki comforted, "Even though it is about to end, its popularity is still the highest. Every time Xiaozheng, it is at the forefront."

Higashino naturally understands this.

He never imagined that he could easily surpass "Dragon Ball" and get Xiaozheng's No.1.

He is still working hard, and the plot of "Soul of Chess" will be more interesting in the future.

Higashino is convinced of this.

On Monday, he came to the art history classroom early in the morning.

The students sighed, Higashino was used to getting up early, so he was fine.

Yoshii Yamahisa was still the same, sitting obediently in the first row.

"Good morning, Higashino-kun."

"Good morning!" Higashino beckoned, suddenly, he stared carefully at Yoshii Yamahisa with a solemn expression, "Is the... strawberry mark on your neck?"

"Ah! It was yesterday..." Yoshii Shanjiu was startled, and after realizing it, he covered his neck with his hand and replied guiltily, "How can there be any strawberry marks? Shhhhhh~"

Higashino felt like he had lost, and he patted Yoshii Sanhisa on the shoulder weakly, "I went to see Takagi-senpai yesterday...she is really a carnivore."

"No way!"

Behind Yoshii Sanhisa, a boy named Tada Wanli patted the table and stood up abruptly.

Yoshii-san shrank his heart for a long time.

Tada Wanli yelled in disbelief:

"Dragon Ball is coming to an end!"

He breathed a sigh of relief.

So it's just the end of "Dragon Ball"...

etc! "Dragon Ball" is over!
He looked at Higashino Hibiki, Higashino Hibiki nodded silently.

At the weekend, he got a sample of Jump and wrote it on the cover.

There are still five episodes left before the end of "Dragon Ball".

"Dragon Ball, which I grew up with, is coming to an end?"

Many people, including Yoshii Yamahisa, couldn't believe it.

Those who entered this class were all art majors. Although comics are entertainment works, they are niche.

But for art students, they will also learn the skills of cartoonists.

Many cartoonists have tours of their works.

For example, the touring exhibition of Akira Toriyama's works has been viewed by more than 200 million people up to now.

They know "Dragon Ball" very well.

Tada Wanli read the words of Akira Toriyama:
"The author has been unable to continue serializing after a long and intense continuous struggle.

The story of Wukong has come to an end, thank you very much for your likes. "

There is a picture drawn below, which is Monkey King waving goodbye.

Tada Wanli put down the magazine in frustration.

"There was a feeling that the air and the water had left me."

The others nodded in agreement.

"I have been watching "Dragon Ball" since I was a child. From the novel world view, all kinds of strange and harmonious animals, and the journey to pursue "Dragon Ball".After that, Wukong pursued the road to become stronger and so on.I like both very much, what a pity. "

"I only learned art because of "Dragon Ball". After seeing the paintings by Mr. Toriyama, I felt that I also wanted to draw such paintings, and I have come to the present in a daze."

Each of them was full of emotions, mourning their past.

They also secretly scolded "Dragon Ball" with its broken combat effectiveness.

But when it came to the end, I was really very reluctant.

Yoshii Sanjiu sighed. He is also a loyal fan of Akira Toriyama, but now he has to say goodbye to his favorite works.

Higashino couldn't help feeling emotional when he saw the scene full of mourning.

It is simply impossible to surpass "Dragon Ball".

As a time traveler, he also hesitated for a while.

……

In the afternoon, Yoshii Shanjiu turned up his collar and went back to his dormitory with Higashino Hibiki.

When passing the basketball court, two or three people were playing basketball.

Higashino Hibiki was a little strange. In his last life, the basketball court was always full when school was over.

Several people can only use one basket and have to line up.

The current basketball atmosphere is not very strong. Compared with the basketball club, Musashino's baseball club and tennis club have many more members.

He is still wondering, Hua Chao is playing basketball, and he still needs him as a helper.

The enthusiasm for basketball in Japan is not as high as in the past.

He flipped through the basketball manga, and only found "Slam Dunk Boy" by Hiroki Yagami.

There was a feeling of déjà vu for a while, Go without "Soul of Chess", and basketball without "Slam Dunk".

"Higashino-kun, what's the matter?" Yoshii Sanjiu asked curiously, "Do you know how to play basketball?"

Higashino nodded, and then said, "I've already thought about what work I'm going to publish in the future."

"Hey! Isn't it still serializing "Soul of Chess"?" Yoshii Sanjiu was surprised.

"Of course not now." Higashino replied.

……

After returning to the studio, Higashino found that many people were there.

Chiharu Minami, Asahina, Akemi Akimiya, and Eiichiro Oda.

They sat in a group and communicated from time to time.

"What happened?" Tono Hibiki asked curiously.

"Is "Dragon Ball" coming to an end?" Nan Qianchun asked.

Sure enough, it was the same thing again, Higashino told her it was true.

Everyone around him was devastated by the end of "Dragon Ball".

"What a pity." Nan Qianchun sighed.

"Yeah." Asahina also lowered her head.

Higashino went to conceive the storyboard of "Soul of Chess", they chatted for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter.

It's because Asahina and Minami Chiharu joined the animation department.

It was really interesting to see the way the defeated general looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Minister Ozawa Koki is still asking," Minami Chiharu said vividly, ""Is the script author here?" I said he would not join the animation department, and Director Ozawa was very disappointed.Like frosted eggplant. "

Speaking of this incident, Asahina's eyes lit up. After entering Musashino, the lineup of animation production has become stronger.

She has ambitions to produce longer, more professional animations.

Just staring at the back of Higashi Higashi who was concentrating on writing the storyboard, his eyes dimmed and he sighed.

……

Higashino came back to his senses, only saw the assistants working, and everyone else left.

"Student Nan said it was too disturbing, so he left after a while." Yoshii Sanjiu explained.

"Yeah." Higashino nodded and looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.

"I'm going out for a while, and I'll bring back dinner by the way."

Taking his mobile phone and wallet, Higashino stretched his waist. He walked out of the room and took a walk to relieve his mood.

Not long after, the phone rang.

""Dragon Ball" will be over after only five episodes." It was Yamamura Shoudao.

Higashino has a headache, why is it "Dragon Ball" again?
But this time, it was different from the previous ones.

Shancun is here for the afternoon.

"Except for the two chapters that have already been drawn, let's compare the two to see who can get Xiaozheng No.1 at the last moment!"

He is also very unwilling, "The Sun Murder Incident" has never been No.1 from the beginning to the end.

As a genius writer, he will never allow it!

Higashino sounded interested, "Okay! Then let's compete, but I must win!"

"That's right!"

……

Two weeks later, Higashino was watching "The Murder of the Sun".

This is a new story, and this story has just begun to pave the way.

There are many clues in the scene, and the results are many.Higashino Hibiki was aroused, curious about the content after that.

But it's just like this, you can't win "Soul of Chess", let alone get the first place.

Many cartoonists feel like they have been injected with chicken blood. In the last moments, they hope to overwhelm "Dragon Ball".

Even Mr. Akimoto Osamu, who has been serializing "Oolong Police Station" for 19 years, also talked about being a teenager, and the new content is a little more exciting.

Yamamura Morido looked at the comics and felt that no one should underestimate him. He usually looks at the old writer who just wants to goof around, and there is also a moment of sharpness.

Teacher Arai next to him looked at him with a smile.

Recently, at the request of Yamamura, his paintings have become more refined than before.

Although he has more working hours, he is still very happy with this young mentality.

"If you want to get No.1, it's not enough just like this." He said: "Jump is not an ordinary magazine. Even without "Yu Yu Hakusho", there are many wonderful magazines such as "Rurouni Kenshin" and "jojo". work."

"My previous idea didn't work at all," Shancun said with a dark face, realizing the reality.

Compared with all the treacherous and cunning people, he is too immature.

"Fortunately, there are Akino Tori's manga, everyone is at the bottom together."

It's never going to be embarrassing.

After wiping off the sweat from the top of his head, Yamamura breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't think Higashino Higashino, a 19-year-old young man, would be better able to adapt to the status quo of jumping with teeth and claws than himself.

He read "Soul of Chess".

……

"Dragon Ball" is coming to an end, and jump needs to create a new god.

Kazuhiko Torishima counted the serialized works, and finally set his sights on "Rurouni Kenshin".

The subject matter of this work, coupled with its depth and enthusiasm, simply cannot be more suitable.

He pinned part of the possibility of maintaining the status quo of jump on Nobuhiro Watsuki.

"Shueisha's newspapers, magazines, and news media have all communicated."

In the conference room, Deputy Editor-in-Chief Kondo held the report and said word by word.

"Well," Horie Nobuhiko nodded, looking at Sasaki.

Sasaki said: "The front page of the next issue of "Rurouni Kenshin" has also been arranged. In terms of animation production, we are negotiating with ANX and Fuji TV, and basically the communication is almost done."

"Okay," Horie Nobuhiko clapped his hands on the table and stood up, "Everything is ready, the only thing I owe is the east wind! Please trouble everyone."

After the meeting, other people went out in twos and threes, only Sasaki was still standing there, and had something to say to Horie Nobuhiko.

"I think "Soul of Chess" should also be given a color page," he said seriously after careful consideration: ""Soul of Chess" has been very exciting recently, because the uniqueness of his works can also attract some readers."

Horie Nobuhiko thought for a while, then shook his head.

"It is precisely because the genre is very unique that it cannot be recognized by most readers. "Soul of Chess" has always been unable to compare with "Dragon Ball". Now jump does not lack a copy of "Soul of Chess."

He also knows that "Soul of Chess" has done very well recently, but today is different from the past, and needs to concentrate on doing big things.

"Besides, "Soul of Chess" is also the work you are in charge of. If all the benefits are given to you, other editors will have opinions."

He rejected Sasaki's request.

Sasaki had no expression on his face, he had already thought of this result and just wanted to give it a try.

"It's you," Horie Nobuhiko accused, "Your important responsibility now, besides "Rurouni Kenshin", is also on the side of Mr. Togaken. Don't spend your energy on "Soul of Chess". If Toga If the teacher can start a new serialization, it will be more effective than the three "Soul of Chess."

Sasaki was very helpless about this, thinking that Nobuhiko Horie was trying to make things difficult for others.

Togashi Yoshihiro's attitude has always been very firm.

Without paying a price, it is impossible for him to serialize quickly.

He played mahjong every day to have a good time, and he was so happy to leave, how could he jump into the fire pit he thought he used to think?
Horie Nobuhiko is too naive.

As the deputy editor-in-chief, he is not qualified to promise him conditions at all.

The one who should really act is Horie Nobuhiko.

He made two promises and left.

　Thanks to Xingben hina for the reward.
