Full-time cartoonist

Chapter 203 Thinking about getting married

"Is Komasa the number one full-time hunter?" Torishima Kazuhiko was surprised.

This manga has only been updated to its second chapter, and Komasa has already ranked first twice.

Yoshihiro Togashi is indeed very unexpected. After trying the alternative "LEVEL E", he returned to the stage of royal comics.

Moreover, perhaps due to the experience of "LEVEL E", the development of "Hunter" is quite mature, which directly arouses the curiosity of readers.

Of course, it was also because "Slam Dunk" was serializing the game between Lingnan and Hainan, and the protagonist Xiangbei team did not appear, so Xiaozheng's performance was a little worse.

"The newcomer Eiichiro Oda, the genius Yoshihiro Togashi, and Mirai Tori Akino, I have nothing to worry about."

I think when he first took over Jump, the top manga was "Rurouni Kenshin". After two and a half years of hard work, now he has everything he wants.

Moreover, there are faint signs of transcending the platinum era.

"As expected of me."

Three single volumes of "One Piece" have been released, and the average sales volume of each volume actually reached 830,000. The results are steady and improving.

The setting of "Hunter" is outstanding, especially the setting of the hunter, which can constantly create freshness and is an extremely inclusive genre.

Not to mention "Slam Dunk" which has been serialized for more than two years.

The 11 single volumes have sold an average of 3.2 million copies, and the comic-book cartoons are popular, and this figure has been rising.

"I changed the jump."

Torishima Kazuhiko turned around, stood in front of the blinds, looked out the window, and realized his broad mind.

"It would be nice if Togashi stopped messing around, and Oda-kun... um..."

He thought of Oda, who asked him to admit his mistakes at the New Year's party, and felt a headache.

"They are all troubled teenagers. No, Togashi is middle-aged."

Torishima Kazuhiko turned around, "The problem now is to break through the upper limit of jump and develop female readers."

"Rurouni Kenshin" is working towards this aspect, and most of Nobuhiro Watsuki's readers are women.

Torishima Kazuhiko was very happy about this.

"Tori Akino is also very talented in romance comics, maybe you have to look at him..."

At this moment, he noticed Sasaki passing by with a box marked "Letters from Readers at Second Five".

"What are you doing?"

"Tori Akino-sensei asked me about letters from readers of Five Centimeters Per Second. I will send them to him and talk about the content of the finals," Sasaki replied.

"Well," Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, and he suddenly stretched out his hand, "Don't take it by mistake. Send the blade and the insulting letter over."

For the sake of the cartoonist's mental health and work status, jump must screen letters from readers and only send them to the cartoonist if they feel they are necessary.

Hibiki Higashino's previous letters from readers were okay, but this time they were a bit... unbearable.

After the EVA finale, Anno Hideaki was scolded miserably by the audience. Torishima Kazuhiko felt that Tori Akino might be able to enjoy the pressure of Anno Hideaki in the future.

Sasaki nodded, "I understand."

…

Akimiya Akemi has been a little depressed recently because of the plot of "5 Centimeters Per Second".

She felt the horror of time.

In "Sakura Copy", Guishu found Akari through hardships, and Akari was still waiting for Guishu until twelve o'clock in the evening.

The two fell in love under the cherry blossom tree and talked all night in the warehouse. After saying goodbye, they still wanted to meet again.

But thirteen years later, this kind of love has changed.

Love, longing, and finally numbness, we met as passers-by, leaving only a beautiful memory.

She was completely inserted into "5 Centimeters per Second" and now she can't get out.

When she thought about her future relationship with Hibiya Higashino, she felt quite suffocated.

Higashino Hibiki can understand. After thinking about it, he came to one point. For Akimiya Akemi, although love is important, it is not the most important thing.

The most important thing is of course the comics.

So he approached Sasaki and asked for letters from readers.

Sure enough, Akimiya Akemi, who had always been depressed, immediately brightened up after reading the letter from the reader.

She couldn't help but read the letter. Hibiki Higashikata was chatting with Sasaki.

"The preliminaries of "Slam Dunk" will end in a few months, and then there will be the national competition, right?" he asked.

In fact, he was still a little worried that Higashino Hibiki would arrange for Xiangbei to lose to Lingnan.

Sakuragi Hanamichi and Rukawa Kaede's strength increased greatly in the second year, and they competed in the national competition again.

But this is not possible. If they cannot enter the national competition, then the third-year students Akagi, Mitsui and others will have to go offline and draw new characters. This is simply a thankless task.

Moreover, Mitsui, Akagi, and even Konobu Kinugure are all very well-rounded characters. It would be such a waste to abandon them.

The results of "Slam Dunk" will be cut in half.

So Sasaki was insinuating, he was worried that Hibiki Higashikata was a fool.

"Of course," Higashikata nodded.

This made Sasaki sigh in relief.

After that, he was worried about when "Slam Dunk" would be finished.

Sasaki fell into deep thought and spent two and a half years writing to the finals of the prefectural competition.

After that, there will be a national competition. After the national competition, there will be a plot where the protagonist enters the second grade. If you think about it this way, you can still write for another ten years.

Sasaki fell silent, and Higashino noticed that Akimiya Akemi looked at him eagerly, seemingly wanting to share something.

She winked from time to time.

Sasaki's meditation did not end, which made Hibiki a little anxious.

He stretched and said, "Ah, ready to work."

Sasaki woke up from his reverie and looked at Higashi Hibiki gearing up for a big fight, so he swallowed back what he wanted to ask.

"There's no rush yet."

"I take my leave," he said, standing up.

…

After sending Sasaki away, Hibiki Higashino returned to the studio.

Akimiya Akemi immediately jumped up to him and asked curiously: "Is what this reader said true?"

"Let me see."

"The cherry blossoms fall very slowly at five centimeters per second, but this speed has been maintained for thirteen years.

The journey that Sakura has traveled in thirteen years is exactly 20,498.4 kilometers, which is half the circumference of the Earth's equator.

The cherry blossoms are falling. Thirteen years later, the two people have reached the farthest distance on earth.

I don't know if this is a coincidence, but if it is true, I am very touched. Mr. Tori Akino is a very romantic person. He laid the groundwork from the beginning in every detail and told me from the side why Akari and Takaki are strangers to each other. "

"What a genius," Higashino Hibiki shook his head. Amid Akimiya Akemi's intense exploration, he rubbed Akimiya Akemi's head, "If you want to believe it, then it is true."

…

Akimiya Akemi read the letter from a reader for a long time, and then her mood recovered.

The match between Hainan and Lingnan comes to an end.

To the surprise of all readers, Lingnan is very powerful.

After the second half, the score once widened to 15 points.

Nobunaga Kiyota's dunk finally broke Lingnan's rhythm. Under Mu Shenyi's attack, Hainan gradually caught up with the score.

Lingnan's offensive player Fukuda was replaced by Ryoji Ikegami because of his poor defensive ability.

The two sides went back and forth, and the score gradually became even.

When Yuzhu was sent off for a pure technical foul, Lingnan finally went to a disadvantage.

On the other side, Sakuragi Hanamichi left the gym.

The match between Hainan and Lingnan on the court made him anxious, so he returned to the Xiangbei Gymnasium to practice shooting.

Coach Anxi found him and trained with him, but he suddenly fell ill and suffered angina. He fell to the ground and passed out.

"It's so dangerous! Could it be..." Cang Mulizi was shocked.

She is a loyal reader of the Lingnan basketball team. Akira Sendō supported the collapsed Lingnan. When she was excited, the plot switched to Sakuragi.

I was still depressed just now.

But seeing this, I couldn't help but feel worried.

"Did Akino Tori like to write depressive plots after he painted "Five Centimeters per Second"? He wouldn't be planning to let Coach Anzai die of illness!"

Although it is a sport, the current form is terrible.

After all, the only person present was Sakuragi Hanamichi.

And Sakuragi has always been an unreliable person, can he really save Anxi in an emergency?

After swallowing, Kuraki Riko looked serious and continued reading.

Mitsui's shoelaces broke, Rukawa Kaede encountered a black cat, and Miyagi Ryota was chased by a crow.

Everything has a bad omen.

After Akagi and the others arrived at the hospital, they saw Sakuragi Hanamichi's trembling back.

He turned around, tears welling up in his eyes.

"Where's the coach? How about coach Anxi?"

It seems that everything is as expected by Kuraki Riko.

"No way!" She covered her mouth.

Turning back further, the comic ends.

…

This was a friendly joke and Coach Anxi was fine.

But thanks to Sakuragi Hanamichi's timely rescue, otherwise something would have really gone wrong.

"Hey! Sakuragi!"

"Sakuragi Hanamichi?"

Others were stunned, this shouldn't be something Sakuragi Hanamichi could do.

Sakuragi Hanamichi dealt with Coach Anzai's matter immediately, called an ambulance, and then notified Mrs. Anzai and Akagi.

When Sakuragi was in junior high school, he came home after a fight and found his father fell ill in the entrance hall. He quickly ran out and tried to contact a nearby hospital.

But he was stopped by a gangster, which caused his father to miss the best time for treatment and pass away.

Because of this, he knows how to do it, and because of this, he will be so sad.

Lingnan and Hainan entered overtime.

But Hainan was even better, and in the overtime, it finally defeated Lingnan.

Although it has not yet played against Buri, Hainan can be said to be a sure win over Buri, maintaining a 17-year winning streak!

Therefore, Xiangbei's final opponent is Lingnan.

Whichever team wins will advance to the national competition!

This is definitely a tough game and readers are looking forward to it!

…

But right now, Hibiki Higashino is walking on the streets of Shibuya.

He is going to attend Shancun Shoudao's wedding.

Higashino Hibiki was really envious of him, prepared gifts, and quickly arrived at the scene.

Just when he was about to go in, he accidentally saw Yoshihiro Togashi.

There was still a lot of time before the wedding started, so he started chatting with Togashi.

"Hunter is really interesting. I hope you can keep updating it, teacher." Hibiki Higashino said nonsense.

"Hahaha, I will. The creation of "Hunter" is really comfortable." Togashi said with a smile.

Also, more than a month has passed since he started serializing, and he has not stopped publishing once.

This is equivalent to more than half a year’s update volume of “LEVEL E”.

They are two completely different people.

Looking at Higashino Hibiki in a suit and leather tie, Togashi said: "This is the first time I see you wearing a suit. You look very handsome."

"Right." Higashino Hibiki smiled, "But I don't like wearing a suit. It's too restrictive. If I don't have to attend Teacher Yamamura's wedding and I have to dress more formally, I won't bother to work so hard."

"Teacher Yamamura's wedding?" Togashi's eyes lit up.

He got excited.

This reaction made Hibiki Higashino quite confused. After all, Yoshihiro Togashi didn't like places with many people.

"Mr. Tori Akino, is this Mr. Togashi? Thank you for coming to my wedding. Please come in."

The groom Shancun stood at the door to greet the guests, calling loudly to Higashikata and Higashikata.

…

Entering the wedding hall, there were bouquets of flowers everywhere and they were carefully arranged.

In the center of the stage, there are several baskets of flowers and colorful strips of cloth.

Togashi looked at it very seriously and studied it carefully.

"Are you going to refer to it in the comics?" Hibiki Higashino asked.

Togashi Yoshihiro shook his head.

He took out his camera as if no one else was around and started taking pictures seriously.

After taking in all the scenery, I sat down with satisfaction.

Then there was a brief thought, summarizing the layout of the scene.

"Teacher Togashi, are you here today?" Hibiki Higashi asked.

I saw him in a hurry just now, as if he was in a hurry.

"Ah! I forgot!" Togashi shouted in surprise.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

Togashi Yoshihiro's face suddenly turned pale.

Then I mustered up the courage and chose to answer.

"Where are you now? Aren't you going on a date? Why are you so late! What are you thinking?"

There was an angry question on the other side, directly through the loudspeaker. In the somewhat noisy scene, Higashino Hibiki could not hear a single word.

The voice was Naoko Takeuchi's, and it turned out that the two of them were on a date today.

Togashi had a hard time abandoning his girlfriend halfway.

"I'm thinking about getting married." Togashi replied calmly.

"Eh?" Higashikata exclaimed.

This was a great answer, and sure enough, Naoko Takeuchi on the opposite side stopped.

This sentence is a big killer. Togashi easily defeated Naoko Takeuchi and showed his romantic side.

It is worth learning from Hibiki Higashikata.

He couldn't help but admire the long-haired man in front of him.

…

After the wedding, Hibiki Higashino returned to the studio.

Akimiya Akemi was writing and drawing, and he leaned over.

"Miss Akimiya, why don't you ask me what I did today?"
