Full-time cartoonist

Because "Slam Dunk" is full of exciting basketball games for most of the year, in order to relax, the following plot is about the mental journey of Wuyuan High School Oda.

There is no need to draw basketball games for a short time, so Hibiki can relax for a while.

Since Hibiki Higashino has four assistants, plus the long-term experience of "Slam Dunk" serialization, Hibiki Higashino was surprised to find that he could actually have two days of free time every week.

It took three days to draw the storyboard, and the original manuscript could be completed in two days. It was like a dream.

Thanks to this, Oda can also spend more time on the creation of "One Piece".

In a week, he only works two days, and the remaining five days are spent in Tori Akino's studio to draw storyboards.

When Hibiki Higashino was drawing the storyboards for "Slam Dunk", he took the time to watch Oda's "One Piece".

Because it was a long-term accumulation, he started writing quickly, and in half a day, he conceived a plot.

"Well, that's really good." Looking up at the clock, Hibiki nodded. It was different from the "One Piece" in his impression. It was an adventure story in a small town.

But he didn't say much, just let Oda hit a wall.

After hearing his compliment, Oda raised his head and grinned: "As expected of me, hahaha!"

As expected, it was Oda, very confident.

"In "Romance Down", Shanks had his arm bitten off by the King of the Sea. Will "One Piece" also depict this?" Hibiki Higashino asked curiously.

This is a big flaw in this work. After all, how could a mere offshore king bite off Shanks' arm?

"There is no way," Oda said with some distress when talking about this. "Editor Kushima said that "Romance Down" lacks something that shocks readers. According to the feedback from readers, they also like this plot very much and there is no way to modify it. .”

Maybe it will become a loophole in the future of the work, but now it is indeed the essence of the work and the point that attracts readers to watch, and it is difficult to change.

Although "One Piece" has a lot of foreshadowing, it is a long-term serialization after all, and there are many things that cannot be explained.

For example, domineering, such as the Nika fruit.

So there is no need to change Shanks' broken arm.

Unless he can co-create "One Piece" with Oda, but this is impossible.

Oda couldn't agree to it because someone was criticizing his work, even if that person was Tori Akino Mirai.

He has a bit of a rebellious streak in him.

Higashino Hibiki fell silent, and Oda asked curiously: "Didn't Akimiya-san come today?"

I'll always be there, even if I'm not working.

Speaking of this, he admired her very much. It was rare to see such a woman who devoted most of her energy to the creation of comics.

It's just a pity that it couldn't be serialized.

Higashino Hibiki took off the round hat hanging on the wall, "Even Miss Akimiya will have her own life."

He walked to the bathroom, looked at the square mirror, put on his hat, and arranged his clothes. Then he nodded with satisfaction and walked to the entrance to change his shoes.

"That's right." Oda nodded thoughtfully. Hearing the sound of the door, he stood up suddenly and walked out of the living room to look: "Teacher, you are going out!"

Dong Yexiang opened the door, dressed appropriately, with a cheerful face, and waved to him, "Yes, I have my own life too."

"Bye..." Oda waved his hand lonelyly, watching the door close and the bright entrance suddenly become dark, "I am the only one left... Sigh..."

He rubbed his hair in distress, walked back to the living room, sat at the work table, and looked at the silly smile of the male protagonist Monkey D. Luffy, feeling a sense of irritation in his heart.

"Ah! Work hard! Strive!"

…

After Higashino went out, he came to the underground parking lot. There was a person waiting next to his car. He was tall and curvy, wearing a white gauze skirt and a bright silver heart-shaped necklace hanging on his chest. It was Akimiya Akemi.

"Hi." When she saw Hibiki Higashikata, she greeted him with a smile, and the dark basement suddenly became brighter.

"Hi," Hibiki Higashino walked in, looked at her face carefully, applied concealer, eye shadow, and some makeup techniques that Hibiki Higashino didn't know about.

"What...what's wrong?" Akimiya Akemi asked nervously, touching her face, "I've only worn light makeup for a long time, is it weird now?"

"No." Hibiki Higashino said happily: "I'm just very happy because Miss Akimiya takes dating so seriously."

Although he thought Akimiya Akemi was also beautiful without makeup, Akimiya Akemi's seriousness made Higashino feel warm.

"Hmm... um." After hearing his straightforward words, Akimiya Akemi lowered her head shyly.

…

The place we are going to visit today is Tokyo Dome City in Bunkyo Ward. Although it is positioned as a multi-purpose stadium, it also has many fun places.

After parking the car and buying tickets, the two of them wandered around the Dome City. There was almost everything here. Hibiki also discovered an anime figure shop.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a figure of Sakuragi Hanamichi, which impressed Higashino Hibiki deeply.

After leaving the handicraft store, they walked for another half an hour and arrived at the rooftop. Hibiki pressed the brim of his hat, blowing in the cool breeze and overlooking the scenery of the Dome City.

"(⊙o⊙)Wow!" Akimiya Akemi's eyes widened. Above her head, there was a roller coaster speeding through the building, and the screams of tourists attracted her.

"Let's go ride a roller coaster!" She said the words that caused Hibiki's heart to stop.

…

Just as Higashi Hibiki was suffering, Tanakai returned to his hometown.

He was holding a lot of things in his hands, with a stiff smile on his lips, not knowing how to face his parents at home.

Looking back on my current life, my life is on the right track. I have friends. Although I am still nervous, I can already muster the courage to talk to passers-by.

Now I should be able to stop being a trouble to my parents...

With this thought in mind, he opened the door and walked in.

"Father, mother, I...I'm back."

…

"Miss Akimiya, if you ride the roller coaster, a lover might take revenge on the betrayer and use the thin string of the necklace to cut off the other person's neck. It's better not to do such a dangerous thing."

This is what Higashino Hibiki suggested.

"Eh? What a great idea." Akimiya Akemi said.

"Yeah, right!" Higashikata nodded repeatedly.

"But this is simply impossible." Akimiya Akemi thought about it, "You must be afraid, right?"

"How is that possible!" Higashikata retorted loudly.

So now, after storing the hats, he and Akimiya Akemi were sitting side by side in the front row. The roller coaster was driving and starting to climb up the long slope, as if it was about to fly into the blue sky.

Hibiki Higashi felt relaxed, but before long, the roller coaster reached the top, and then began to dive. The speed increased several times, and the wind seemed to be hitting Hibiki's face, making a hunting sound.

His heart contracted suddenly and his face turned pale.

What I heard in my ears was the cheers of Akimiya Akemi.

He could only squeeze the armrest hard, close his mouth tightly, and empty his mind.

The roller coaster passes through the Ferris wheel and through the building, spinning constantly, like a drum washing machine, trying to clean the passengers irritably.

After several minutes, we finally returned to the starting point.

His legs were shaking and it took several attempts before Hibiki got off the roller coaster.

Despite the torture, the man's dignity was preserved.

"Want to do it again!" Akimiya Akemi asked excitedly.

"Absolutely not!" Higashikata retorted decisively.

…

Today, Yoshii Sanjiu refused his father's company and came to Musashino.

Not Hibiki Hibiki's studio, but Musashino Animation Department.

He was wearing a white suit, holding a rose in his hand, standing upright, his embarrassed eyes lost focus, but after a while, he giggled excitedly.

Today is the weekend, and he has free time, so he comes here to surprise Takagi Kiko.

The female college students passing by pointed at him, covering their mouths and smiling foolishly.

Yoshii Sanjiu blushed. He touched his newly done hair and waited patiently, hoping that Takagi Kiko would arrive soon.

"Nan-san said that Kiko will be at the animation department today."

He used to be busy with comics, so he didn't have time to date Takagi Kiko, and today he wanted to make it up to her.

I don’t know how much time passed, but someone patted Yoshii Sanjiu’s shoulder, and he quickly looked back excitedly.

"Yamahisa-kun, what are you doing here?" Takagi Kiko asked pretending to be curious.

"I...I..." Yoshii Shan hesitated for a long time, embarrassed to say it.

"If you don't say anything," Kiko Takagi put her hands behind her back, turned around, and said with a smile, "I'm going to work."

"I...go with me..."

Takagi Kiko waited quietly for him to speak.

"Please go on a date with me!" As soon as he closed his eyes, Yoshii Shan broke the jar, bowed fiercely and handed out the rose in his hand, "Please!"

There was no reply for a long time, and he carefully opened his eyes.

"Yes, okay." Takagi Kiko took the rose from him, "I wish for it."

…

Higashino Hibiki and Akimiya Akemi played with rotating coffee cups. After the haunted house, night was approaching and the lights in the Dome City came on.

At this time, the most popular entertainment activity is of course the Ferris wheel.

Sitting on the same side, the Ferris wheel slowly rose. Akimiya Akemi's face was flushed. She had a great time today.

"This is my second time coming to the amusement park!" Akimiya Akemi said excitedly while looking at the hazy night view outside the window.

"Me too," Higashino Hibiki said, "Last time, I was still with Miss Akimiya."

Holding her palm, Hibiki felt very happy.

That was after Mr. Chamon Fumi's book signing, and he was not Akimiya Akemi's boyfriend yet. Although he was equally happy, it was not as good as this moment.

Everything seems to belong to me and I own the whole world.

"Miss Akimiya."

"Um?"

"I am already in my third year of college this year..."

"Yeah, time flies so fast. The last time I remember an amusement park was when I was in the third grade of high school."

"Yeah, but that's not what I want to say."

Akimiya Akemi turned her head and looked at Higashino Hibiki curiously.

"What I want to say is," Hibiki licked his lips, "I am less than a year away from graduation."

He looked at Akimiya Akemi with burning eyes, as if he wanted to burn into her heart.

"So..." Akimiya Minmei's heart was beating violently, "Yeah."

"At that time, please promise me..." Dong Yexiang mustered up the courage, "Please marry..."

Fireworks bloomed in the night sky, reflecting Hibiki Higashikata's determined eyes.

"Yes." Qiugong Minmei lowered her head, especially shy.

…

The time has come for June.

Dong Yexiang was surprised to hear the news.

"'Yu-Gi-Oh!' is animated."

Less than a year after this work was serialized, an animation project was actually approved.

You should know that "The Arrival of the Son" began to be serialized in 1992, and it was not until 1997 that an animated work came out, which shows the difficulty of animation.

"Yu-Gi-Oh" is not as popular as "The Arrival of the Holy Son", but it can be animated so quickly. The advantage is the IP value.

"Sailor Moon" was animated less than half a year after its serialization. This is due to its IP value. Now some people are focusing on "Yu-Gi-Oh!" and want to create the miracle of "Sailor Moon".

"What a discerning person." Hibiki Higashikata sighed.

The production company is Toei. Not only "Slam Dunk", Toei is also betting on "Yu-Gi-Oh!"

Hibiki Hibiki learned about Toei's philosophy during a phone call with Takahashi Kazuki.

"The animation will be created from scratch and will not be magically modified."

Knowing this, Hibiki Higashino became pessimistic about this animation again.

After all, the value of "Yu-Gi-Oh!" is the card game. Muto Judaiguchi's random playing of cards was the charm of this work from the beginning.

The mini-game at the front of the comic is not very popular among readers.

Animation may not gain popularity and become synonymous with mediocrity.

At the same time, amid intense production, Eiichiro Oda finally completed the storyboards for the first three episodes of "One Piece".

Just as the jump serialization meeting was about to take place, "One Piece" did not wait much. Oda could know the result immediately.

…

The time was four o'clock in the afternoon, the clock was ticking, and Oda was not quiet, walking around the studio.

Higashino Hibiki was so dizzy by him that he could no longer draw the storyboard in his hand. He waved his hand and said in annoyance: "You don't need to work today, go back to your house and wait for the results."

"No," Oda refused decisively, "I will be nervous alone! Teacher, just stay with me!"

Higashikata shuddered, "Stop, stop talking, that's it!"

On the other side, at the serialization meeting.

"The next work," Sasaki said seriously as he looked at his colleagues at the meeting, "is "One Piece" by Eiichiro Oda."

Mentioning this work, Torishima Kazuhiko's eyes moved.

Eiichiro Oda, he has an impression.

This impression comes from Tori Akino Mirai.

Before "Slam Dunk" was serialized and "Soul of Chess" was not finished, he once visited Tori Akino's studio.

It was also the time when "Dragon Ball" was finished, jump sales were declining, and its status was in jeopardy.

Toriyama has an assistant named Eiichiro Oda, who is a loyal reader of Akira Toriyama. There is nothing worth remembering about this.

It was something he would never forget for a long time.

Mirai Tori Akino said this when discussing saving Jump.

"The person who can save jump is my assistant Oda Eiichiro! I have a hunch that he can become a great cartoonist comparable to Toriyama-sensei! The next era belongs to Oda!"

Of course he couldn't forget the words that shocked him so much.

"So now, Oda, whom Tori Akino values ​​so much, is finally starting to show up?"

But when he thought of the storyboards he saw, the fire in Toriyama Kazuhiko's heart went out and he frowned.

"Can this work really become a popular comic?"

He couldn't tell.

The style of this work is very unique and has never appeared on Jump.

Weirdly, he didn't expect readers to like "One Piece".

Thanks to Xiao Si for the very cute reward of 500 points.

I feel that Mr. Long Neck, Jiang Ren first sees the moon, and Jiang Chuzhao Ren are rewarded.
