Hong Kong Island Comic Master

Chapter 408

"Sorry, Mr. Fujian, your comic can only be serialized for one more issue!"

Looking at the editor of "Shōnen Weekly Century" in front of him, Takahashi Kimimasa, he said what he had already guessed. Although the other person had not yet said the second half of the sentence, Fu Shangbo also guessed it.

After one issue, the comic will be cut in half!

Sure enough, being cut in half is a nightmare for every cartoonist!

Thinking of this, Fu Shangbo sighed helplessly.

"I understand. My manga is almost finished. Thank you, Editor Takahashi!"

"Why are you so polite? There is no doubt about your talent. Don't be discouraged. Work hard and you will be able to draw better works!"

Takahashi Junchang saw the disappointment hidden in Fu Shangbo's heart, so he comforted him.

"thanks, I will!"

When he walked out of the cafe where he had an appointment with Takahashi Junchang, the winter sun shone on his face, but he couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

Once upon a time, Fu Shangbo wanted to be an art teacher, but unexpectedly, when he grew up, he would embark on the path of a cartoonist.

Although he failed to get admitted to Tokyo University of the Arts, he was admitted to Yamagata University. He should have been able to go to university with peace of mind.

However, during college, he became interested in drawing comics again, so he drew his debut work "Quick Straight Ball", which was selected for the 34th Tezuka Award.

At the Tezuka Award party, Yoshihiro Togashi met the "God of Neon Comics" Osamu Tezuka.

When Fu suggested that Hiro muster up the courage to say hello to his idol, Osamu Tezuka said to him: "Please be sure to draw works that can give children their dreams."

Encouraged, Fu Shangbo started painting harder and then painted "Fly Away!" Birthday Gift", serialized in "Shōnen Weekly Century".

Unfortunately, his ability was limited at this time, and the work was not serialized in the main issue, but in a supplement.

Nowadays, there is no chance of even serialization!

The fledgling rich man who recommended gambling finally experienced the beatings from society.

Even if he is a genius, everything will not be smooth sailing, unless it is Li Wannian. After all, that guy has his faults!

"Hey, it's so annoying. Didn't you expect it to end so soon? I have no clue about the new comic. What should I do?"

After thinking for a long time, the rich man suggested that Bo clapped his hands together, as if he had made up his mind: "As expected, I still can't think of it, so I won't think about it anymore. I'll go home and play video games first. I'll find a way!"

I have to say that this guy Yoshihiro Togashi is really big-hearted and has no sense of urgency at all.

"It is said that in today's issue of "Century", a new comic will be released!"

"It's so annoying. What new comics are coming out? I still want to read "Dragon Ball" and "Naruto". Is Goku alive? How powerful will Naruto and Sasuke become in two years?"

"Wukong must be alive. In fact, even if he dies, he can be resurrected with the Dragon Balls. In the Dragon Ball world, what is the difference between dead and alive?"

"makes sense!"

"As for Naruto, no matter how strong he is in two years, he will definitely reach the level of chuunin, right?"

"That's right, he made an instant success in the Chuunin Exams!"

Fu Shangbo, who was thinking about whether to take the bus or the subway to go home, suddenly heard two college students passing by and discussing comics, which attracted his attention.

Why did the rich man Shang Bo recognize that the other two were college students at a glance?

That's because there is something called clear and stupid look in their eyes.

I also came from that period!

"Mr. Banzai has a new comic out?" Fu suggested to Bo. He suddenly remembered that at the autograph session of Banzai teacher, he persuaded him to become a cartoonist, but he vowed to become an art teacher.

Now that I think about it, it’s really embarrassing!

Thinking of this, Fu Shangbo became interested in Li Wannian's new comics, so he followed the two students and planned to go to the comic shop to buy a comic.

However, what he didn't expect was that the two students had walked for a long time, almost 20 minutes, and they still hadn't reached their destination. At one point, the rich advisor almost gave up!

"Hey, uncle, why are you following the two of us?"

Since Fu Shangbo followed the two of them for several streets, and Fu Shangbo himself was not a professional follower, he was naturally noticed by the two students in front of him.

The two students in front of me are both wearing ordinary sportswear and glasses. Their appearance can only be considered good or bad. It can be said that they are extremely typical college students!

"Uncle? Hey, you're going too far. I'm only a few years older than you!"

"Eh? Really?"

The rich man suggested that Bo read the distrust in the other person's eyes and said angrily: "Of course it's true, I'm only 22 years old this year!"

"what?"

They both exclaimed at the same time.

"My dear, you are only two years older than us!"

"Yeah, I thought he was in his thirties!"

Listening to the whispers between the two, Fu Shangbo felt that his breathing became a little heavier.

"Hey, don't think I can't hear you two if you whisper!"

"Sorry, sorry! But uncle...Brother, even if you are not a few years older than us, then why are you following us?"

"I just heard that you were going to buy comics, so I thought about buying one together. After all, I'm not familiar with this place!"

"I see, but you may be mistaken. We are going to buy comics, which is good, but what we are going to is the two-dimensional animation city!"

"Animation City, the one in Akihabara?"

Rich suggested that although Bo was a homebody, he didn't like to go out much, so it had been almost a year since he came to Tokyo and he hadn't been out much.

But where is Akihabara?

After several years of development, it is now almost becoming a paradise for otakus!

In particular, the 2D Animation City was opened in Akihabara a few years ago, which led to the opening of many local Neon animation theme stores in Akihabara.

However, even though there are so many animation theme stores, the Two-Dimensional Animation City is still the best among them, attracting a large number of otakus every year!

"Yes, after all, it is the first two-dimensional animation city in Tokyo. It has the most complete things. We also want to buy some peripherals!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go too, let's go together!"

After all, they are all of the same age, and judging from Fu Jianbo's thin body, I am afraid that any of the two students can knock Fu Jianbo down. There is no need to worry about whether Fu Jianbo is not pregnant. kindness.

"Okay, okay, let's go together then! By the way, big...brother, what's your name?"

"My name is Fu Shangbo, what about you?"

"My name is Akamatsu Ken, his name is... we are both students of Neon Central University..."
