Comic cheating, dream-eating life

"Become an idol! Your words will definitely work!"

Nan Siji was walking on the street, looking at the people coming and going for inspiration, but a suspicious man wearing a beret and a windbreaker came over and gave Nan Siji a business card.

Nan Siji glanced at the business card and looked up at the very excited man, "Mr. Aziz?"

"Yes, it's me! You can definitely become a big idol! I have this confidence!"

Nan Siji shook his head, "Idols should forget about it."

He was very unwilling and wanted to say something, but Nan Siji waved his hand and asked him to leave.

"I know that I am handsome, my acting skills are excellent, I am outstanding in all aspects, I am a born star... Ordinary people only have room to look up to me, no, no, no, giving them the opportunity to look up to me is a gift... …”

"So forget it."

When Nan Siji finished speaking, he looked up and found that the other party had left.

All that's left is the business card in his hand.

"What a rude person."

On the way home, in a square, there was a little idol jumping around, cute, charming, and wearing a miniskirt.

It’s just that the professional skills are too poor, the dance has no rhythm, and the singing is not intoxicating. It’s just like playing house.

Not many people were watching at all.

Nan Siji took a flyer from a beverage shop, spread it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged. People came and went behind him, but no one stopped. Only Nan Siji was quiet here.

I don’t know how much time has passed, but it seems to be over.

A little idol jumped off the stage, with beads of sweat on his face from dancing all the time.

She gasped for breath, blushed, covered her chest, bent down and said to Nan Jiji: "Thank you for watching our performance! How was it? Is there anything you want to say?"

Nan Siji thought casually, "After the Five Dynasties and Daguba, the world has returned to peace. How should we paint here..."

She didn't understand, "Huh?"

Nan Siji came back to his senses, raised his head, and said vaguely, "Ah, what's the matter?"

"Ah? Aren't you watching our performance? Woohoo..." The other party seemed to cry.

…

Minami Shiki is looking for a quiet place to think about the ending of "Kamen Rider Kuuga".

He had forgotten most of what he had read before.

But in the studio or study where I have been drawing comics, my brain is always blank and I cannot come up with the desired plot.

So I walked out of the room after a long time and went outdoors to find some inspiration.

Since the square was disturbing others, he simply came to the nearby library.

It is extremely quiet here, so people are reading books silently, enjoying the world constructed by books.

There's just something wrong with the man opposite me!

He is obviously a successful person who wears glasses, is elegant and elegant, and is elegant.

But here I am watching jumk!

Isn’t that the comic that Silver Hair Natural Curly loves to read? A little self-conscious!

Forget it, Nan Siji took out a pen and paper, sat down opposite the man, and started dabbing carefully.

"Come on... Ying, I can finally meet you..."

Unexpectedly, I heard the other party crying.

Why are you crying? And that line sounds very familiar.

As if he noticed Nan Shiji's actions, the man apologized softly, tears falling down on the table, causing ripples in his heart.

"It doesn't matter. What is this?"

"Jumk, "Weekly Shonen Jumk"..." The man recovered a little, wiped away his tears, and choked up: "A very touching story, "Forest of Fireflies"."

"First love is the end. Every time I see the mask, I will think of him. Just like the movie "Love in the Sky", it is a purely beautiful and sad story."

"Thank you." Nan Siji nodded.

"Thanks?"

"Ah...ah, I told you this wonderful story."

The two of them talked quietly so as not to disturb others.

Seeing Nan Shiji's puzzled look, he explained: "Because of work, I have to read shonen comics."

Nan Siji nodded to express understanding.

But seeing the way he accepted it easily, the man felt that he was perfunctory with him.

So he took out his business card and introduced himself: "I am Hibiki Higashino, and I work in the department responsible for women's publications at Youei Society."

Nan Siji looked at his business card and asked, "Is it related to shonen comics?"

"Alas," Hibiki sighed, rubbing his head, "because I was transferred to the comics department..."

“Isn’t the comics department bad?”

"It's not a question of whether it's good or bad," he looked around and whispered in a mysterious manner, "I'm telling you, don't tell anyone else."

"oh."

"Do you know spring, summer and autumn?"

Nan Jiji was surprised, "The one who draws comics?"

"Yes, yes," Hibiki Higashino nodded, "I was about to be promoted to editor-in-chief, but the club suddenly said that they would add a new comic magazine, called "tokusatsu jumk", a tokusatsu comic magazine. I was asked to be the editor-in-chief."

"That's good. Comic magazines have higher sales than women's magazines."

Hibiya Hibiki pointed at himself and smiled bitterly, "I'm in charge of the women's magazine. It's a comic magazine. Don't you think it's irrelevant at all?"

He sighed deeply, and it seemed that he had been holding it in for a long time, and confided in Nan Siji, a stranger.

"Because I felt there was no future, I was transferred to be in charge of an external department. Tokusatsu is originally a niche, and there is only one person in Spring, Summer and Autumn. When the serialization of his works ends, such a magazine should be cut off."

It suddenly dawned on Minami Shiki that "tokusatsu jumk", in Yueisha's view, was just a temporary product, a spin-off built for special photography promotion.

When the Ultraman series and Kamen Rider series end, "tokusatsu jumk" will also end.

Nan Siji said nothing and listened silently.

Higashino Hibiki became more and more enthusiastic as he talked, complaining: "It's all Chun Xia Qiu's fault! It's all his fault for having this "tokusatsu jumk"! You bastard!"

Nan Siji looked at him blankly and blinked.

Dong Yexiang asked with a smile, "I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know your name?"

"Spring, summer and autumn, bastard's spring, summer and autumn." Nan Siji replied.

"Eh?" He became bewildered.

"Yes, I am Spring, Summer, and Autumn." Minami Shiki showed off the storyboard of "Kamen Rider Kuuga" painted on her face.

Then looked at him with a smile.

“Private Marseille with red bean paste!”

Higashikata stood up, bowed deeply and apologized loudly!

A very standard social animal posture.

But this is a library.

Many people frowned at it.

"Let's go have a drink."

Nan Jiji stood up and said.

Higashino Hibiki took care of everything, "Be sure to let me treat you!"

…

There are no seats in the nearby izakaya, and a bunch of customers are standing around eating and drinking, which is very lively.

Nan Shiki took a bite of the oden radish, tilted his head and asked, "Let me tell you, Mr. Higashino, don't you like comics?"

He recalled the time when Hibiki Higashi cried, and thought that it would be difficult for people who don't like comics to read it so immersedly.

"I like comics very much." Hibiki Higashino nodded, ""Slam Dunk" was very popular at that time, so I came to work at Youeisha, but I didn't expect to enter the women's publication department."

"In this case, why not calm down and reflect on your original intention." Nan Siji raised his glass and clinked it with him, "It is a magazine that is not expected anyway. It doesn't matter what the outcome is. Think of it as a contribution to your dream."

"Ah~ that's right. Comics and stuff, I..." he said in a daze, "Just try hard, I haven't worked hard for a long time."

I usually just work, but now I work hard for my hobby.

The two moods are different.

"My boss, Mr. Kondo, and I are good friends. Now think about it, does he also want me to get back to my past self?" He murmured.

Nan Siji said, "Just take it as such."

…

On the way home, Nan Siji felt brand new. As expected, he couldn't create good works if he stayed at home all the time. Now he had a lot of inspiration and wanted to go home and draw them right away.

"Wait a minute, isn't this Teacher Chun Xia Qiu!"

A sports car parked next to Nan Siji. The driver had a single ponytail exposed under a white beret and a gray shirt. Nan Siji recognized him at a glance.

"It's Mr. Watanabe, long time no see."

Watanabe Hayabusa, Musashino's producer, Minami Shiki got acquainted with him because of the outsourcing of "Ultraman Tiga".

Watanabe Hayabusa said, "I'm going to Mr. Togashi's house to play mahjong. Do you want to join us?"

"Of course!" Nan Siji nodded heavily.

…

The two of them arrived at Togashi Yoshihiro's home, and Teacher Togashi beat his back and welcomed them warmly.

"You must be Teacher Chun Xia Qiu!"

After handing over the coffee, he recognized Nan Siji at a glance.

"Yoshida told me that you are 22 years old, work hard, and are very handsome. I know Watanabe, and you are the only one who is so handsome."

Teacher Togashi is very good at talking, and Nan Shiki likes him very much.

His "Hunter" was directed by Koji Yoshida, who had just debuted.

After that, Yoshida was responsible for "The Exorcist Boy", "Death Note", and "Ghost". Unexpectedly, "Hunter" still has not ended.

"Teacher Togashi is really awesome." Nan Shiki gave a thumbs up.

Yoshida is the strategist among the editors, and Hiramaruichi is also under his control. However, Togashi-sensei can always suspend publication, which can be said to be a prodigy in the world of procrastination.

"ha?"

"It's okay," Nan Siji took a sip of coffee and asked, "Is "Hunter" ready to resume publication?"

Looking back, in 2011, the new animation of "Hunter" was produced, and Mr. Togashi was preparing to resume publication.

Xia Nai had been looking forward to it for a long time, but she didn't expect that it would end again after only ten chapters were updated.

Xia Nai: "Baga!"

At that time, "Ultraman Tiga" was at its peak.

Yoshida seemed to be prepared. He had no expectations at that time, so there was no disappointment.

He is very familiar with Togashi's character.

"I'll give you 1 million, don't talk about this."

Yoshihiro Togashi looked serious and serious.

"Sorry, I won't say it again."

"Hahaha, that's good."

Not long after, the last Mayu arrived, and it was...Kouji Yoshida!

"Teacher Chun...Teacher Chun Xia Qiu!" Yoshida's lips trembled, looking extremely worried and scared, "You also like to play mahjong..."

Nan Siji waved his hand, "It's just for fun."

Yoshida breathed a sigh of relief, "It's best this way."

…

At the mahjong table, Yoshida looked serious. He was ready to use his strongest strength to make Nan Shiki lose completely and have no interest in mahjong anymore.

But……

Watanabe played cards, "Gojo."

"What a fool!" Nan Siji pushed down the mahjong, "Pinghu, break Mojiu, three colors in the same order, three times."

Nan Shiji's face was full of spring, and Yoshida Koji gritted his teeth.

Togashi smiled and said, "Chun Xia Qiu, you have good luck, suitable for playing mahjong."

In the second round, the cards he wanted came one after another, and Yoshida nodded with satisfaction. There were already three hidden kungs.

Now he only needs others to play 30,000 to win.

Three hidden kungs, Ping Hu, Duan Mo Jiu, Menqian Qing, directly gave Chun Xia Qiu a big lesson.

"Riichi."

He put the cards away and threw the stick.

Togashi was stunned and laughed, "Oh, you look very confident, Yoshida."

Yoshida Koji was confident, "Of course."

Minami Shiki said nervously, "I'm still a little short."

"Then be careful." Yoshida touched the cards, pinched them and looked at them, 90,000, "What a pity."

"90,000."

"Pong!" Minami Shiki shouted, "Thank you, Yoshida Koji, I also heard the card. Three."

But he didn't have riichi.

Watanabe took a look and threw out four of the 456.

"Win!" Minami Shiki clapped his hands.

"Tsk." Yoshida shook his head.

"It's all your fault!" Togashi accused him, "Don't let him win just because he's your favorite writer."

Yoshida shouted, "I won't do that!"

...

After that, Minami Shiki won one after another.

Three of the four games were his wins.

Yoshida Koji and Togashi Yoshihiro both looked unhappy.

Watanabe, on the other hand, had no expression on his face, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry.

"Teacher Chun Xiaqiu, the drawings of "Firefly Forest" are really good," Watanabe chatted with Minami Shiki while playing cards.

Minami Shiki said casually, "Thank you."

Watanabe asked tentatively, "Do you have any ideas for making a movie?"

"It would be great if I could make a movie," Minami Shiki drew a card and played it again.

Watanabe said: "Come to think of it, Kinoshita was crying so hard that he wanted to make "Firefly Forest", and the president agreed."

"Okay, I trust Musashi." Minami Shiki said frankly, "Since "Exodus", the animations produced have been above the standard. But whether to make an animated film depends on the arrangement of Yueisha."

Minami Shiki has seen "Shirobako" and has some impressions of the characters in it. Except for Taro Takanashi, they are all people who love animation very much.

So it is carefully crafted and there will be no perfunctory works.

Unlike the art painting "Three Body", ugh.

When "Ultraman Tiga" was animated, it was not suitable for a declining company like Musashi.

And it is not much because of the love of the original work.

At least when the voice actor was interviewed, Minami Shiki did not visit curiously.

It is a pleasant surprise to meet the characters of the original work, and it doesn't matter if you don't meet them, to this extent.

"Ah, speaking of "Firefly Forest," Yoshida played a card, "there is an idea to make it into an animation."

"Win," Minami Shiki pushed the card down, "That's great, then we can negotiate. I agree to give "Firefly Forest" to Musashino."

[An old book friend who I have known for ten years recommended me a book-chasing app, a source-changing app! It's really fucking useful. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]

Yoshida opened his mouth and his eyebrows jumped.

"Yoshida, you guy!" Mr. Togashi was very angry, "Forget it, let's stop here today! Let's go!"

Yoshida pushed the card, ignored Togashi, and said to Minami Shiki, ""Firefly Forest" can't be serialized for a long time, it's more appropriate to make a movie directly. I will tell the editor-in-chief Pingzi."
