Full-time cartoonist

Only then did Higashino realize that he had been unknowingly affected by his current status.

When he was serializing "The Soul of the Game", he was very envious of Toriyama Akira's achievements.

In Xiaozheng's performance ranking, he always wants to get the first place.

That's why before the end of "Dragon Ball", we changed the pace of the comic and quickly drew the climax of "Sai" - "Sai" vs "Taya Yuhiro".

Until now, it is really ridiculous to be attached to the title of Jump's most popular cartoonist.

His original intention of drawing comics was very vulgar, just for money.

Understanding this, Hibiki Higashino's pressure was gone and he faced it easily.

"Oda-san, I'm looking forward to your work."

"Yes, Tori Akino-sensei!" Oda said with a high voice.

The journey of "One Piece" is about to begin.

A new era is coming.

Yoshii Yamahisa stood up and congratulated Oda. Although he still didn’t know whether he could pass the serialization meeting, Toriyama Studio had been established for four years, and none of Hibiki Hibiki’s cartoonist assistants had even appeared in a serialization work. It was really unbelievable. A very sad thing.

Now Oda Eiichiro is about to do it, and Yoshii Sankyu hugs Oda very happily.

"After more than three years of hard work, we are finally almost successful. Congratulations, Oda-san."

"Thank you, Yoshii-kun." Oda's eyes filled with excitement.

He gave up his studies and embarked on the path of being a cartoonist. Although he moved forward without hesitation, in the quiet hours of the night, he would always think about whether it was too rash. What happens if it cannot be serialized?

With depression and worry, this day finally came.

Only the last level is left.

Akimiya Akemi looked at Oda with envy. The short comic she drew this time still did not get the approval of the editor.

Akimiya Akemi, who is 28 years old this year, although she still has not given up on the career of comics, is also a little exhausted.

Seeing the talented people around her appear one after another, she was the only one who stayed where she was, which made her uncomfortable.

Higashino Hibiki walked over, patted her shoulder, and silently comforted Akimiya Akemi.

That's what comics are like, talent is the most important thing.

Good drawing skills and hard work are not the decisive factors for becoming a cartoonist.

Creativity is what matters most.

Seeing Higashino Hibiki's concerned eyes, Akimiya Akemi nodded slightly, saying that she was fine and she was used to it.

"Tori Akino-sensei."

Oda said suddenly.

Dongye Xiang calmly took his hand back, "What's wrong?"

"After I finish drawing the storyboards of my serial, I would like my teacher to give me some guidance, please!" He bowed and said very sincerely.

"Of course," Hibiki replied.

Oda rubbed his hands, suppressed his inner excitement, and started drawing "Slam Dunk" first.

He drew his impulse towards "One Piece" in the background of the match between Shohoku and Shoyo.

Hibiki nodded with satisfaction, and then looked around the studio. Only one person remained silent, and that was the silent Tanakai.

He couldn't help but asked with concern: "Tanaka-san's last work was... "The Sojourner", right? It was a very creative work. After so long, do you have no idea of ​​painting a new work?"

This assistant is also very talented, and Hibiki Higashino believes that he is likely to become a professional cartoonist.

"I feel that my abilities are still lacking," Tanaka looked up and shook his head slightly, "I still want to learn more from Mr. Tori Akino."

"Don't belittle yourself, but it's good that Tanaka-san is happy." Hibiki Higashino said with a smile.

"Yes, I am very happy now!" Tanaka said loudly.

…

In mid-May 1997, with the completion of "Go Revolution", the plot of "Slam Dunk" also came to an end.

The storyline between Shobei and Xiangyang is over.

Sakuragi Hanamichi succeeded in dunking. Although the score was invalid due to fouls and he was sent off for five fouls, the cheers of the audience and the sense of accomplishment of the dunk made him unable to calm down for a long time. This kind of happiness made him feel numb. The whole person was thinking about it in a daze.

Tsunoda enters.

Xiangbei scored 62 points, surpassing Xiangyang by two points, with one and a half minutes left.

For the first time since Fujima appeared on the scene, he was visibly panicked and began to feel at a loss.

In the following time, under the defense of Xiangbei, Xiangyang did not score a single goal.

Waiting until the last few seconds, Hanagata Toru shot the ball in front of everyone's attention, and then hit the iron.

The whistle sounded at the end of the game, Xiangbei entered the finals, and Xiangyang came to an end.

The joy and laughter in Shobei are reflected in the sadness of Xiangyang players crying.

Especially Fujima, his tears were the most moving, his lips trembled, and tears came out of his eyes and slid down his cheeks.

Fujima cries, and Hibiki refers to the picture he drew when Hanamo cried after watching Tōkai University lose to Meiji University.

With reluctance and sadness, especially true feelings.

"Thank you so much."

Fujima and Shohoku thanked each other.

Readers are very sorry for the end of this era of top golfers.

In the Musashino Art Classroom, Takasugi Kazuya quietly looked at Hibiki Hibiki's back.

Fujima, a character who just appeared, brought a lot of regrets to Takasugi Kazuya.

The game between Xiangbei and Xiangyang is full of twists and turns. The collision between strong teams creates a plot that readers can't put down.

Therefore, even if he is Shohoku's opponent, Takasugi Kazu still hopes that Xiangyang will show stronger strength.

"If Fujima had concentrated on being a player from the beginning, and if Xiangyang had a full-time coach, the result might not be like this."

"but……"

"Losing to Shohoku, Shoyo's era of being the top two in Kanagawa is over. Kanagawa has entered an era of division among the heroes."

Takasugi Kazuya thought.

Hainan, the strongest king in Kanagawa Prefecture, has never made a move; he has Sendou Akira and Uobashira Jun, and once defeated Lingnan from Shohoku.

Shohoku has five strong players.

And Buri High School.

With so many strong teams gathered together, the content after "Slam Dunk" will be even more exciting.

Thinking of this, Takasugi Kazuya's heart became excited again!

…

After the class ended, the teacher left the classroom. Hibiya Hibiki raised his buttocks and prepared to go back, but saw the monitor walking up to the podium and knocking on the table.

"Sorry to disturb everyone."

Higashikata had no choice but to sit down.

"The topic that needs to be discussed now is to select the campus beauty of Musashino Art University. Does anyone want to sign up?" the monitor said.

"Huh?" A big question mark appeared on Dongye Xiang's forehead.

He recalled it in an area of ​​his mind that he was not interested in, and then he understood what was going on.

The difference between Japanese school beauties and Chinese ones is not something everyone can discuss in private.

Instead, only those who get the first place through competitions in appearance, talent, moral character, etc. can be called school belles and have special campus-level activities.

Moreover, after the school beauties are selected, they will also enter the Japan's Most Beautiful College Student Beauty Contest.

It’s something very formal and entertaining.
