Full-time cartoonist

"Did Tori Akino get first place in Komasa again?"

Yoshihiro Togashi's eyes widened when he heard the edited data.

He did some calculations and found that for the month of September, Tori Akino was actually the first in Xiaozheng.

Takahashi Toshimasa said: "Well, and according to this trend, Tori Akino's results will continue to be like this."

"It's really scary," Togashi said in surprise. "Today's young people are so confusing."

When he serialized "Yu Yu Hakusho" back then, although his results were not as good as "Dragon Ball", he always got the first place in Xiaozheng's series.

He won't be beaten by Toni Akino like he is now.

"I used to be suppressed by Akira Toriyama, but now I lag behind Mirai Toriyama. The author of "One Piece" Oda Eiichiro is probably Toriyama's disciple. My future self will not be as good as him."

Thinking this way, Yoshihiro Togashi's scalp suddenly went numb. How could a genius like him accept such a future?

He was suddenly full of energy!

"Mr. Takahashi, please inform the editor-in-chief of Torishima that I will take a week off."

he said.

Anyway, let’s avoid its sharp edges.

It has nothing to do with him preparing for marriage.

…

Since the serialization of "One Piece", Oda has never rested. More than a year has passed, and as a newcomer, he still has not adapted to the rhythm of weekly comics.

"That's amazing, Tori Akino-sensei."

When Oda became Tori Akino's assistant in the future, he didn't pay much attention.

After he started serializing, he realized that it was not easy to be a jump cartoonist.

Every day when I wake up and open my eyes, I think of comics. Before I close my eyes and go to sleep, I have just left the studio.

"Tori Akino-sensei was already much stronger than me now when I was a high school student. I still have to work hard."

While he was feeling emotional, the new assistant asked curiously: "Oda-san, do you know Mr. Tori Akino?"

"Of course, Shiratori-kun. I used to be an assistant at Tori Akino Studio, just like you are now," Oda said with memories: "The teacher taught me a lot. In addition to arranging work for me all day long, he really He’s a very good person.”

"Oda-san is like this, too." Another assistant complained: "I am busy every day. As a cartoonist in the past, I still had to work in an izakaya to make a living, but now I have no leisure time at all."

Oda Tian was shameless, "That's what cartoonists are like, I just gave you more opportunities to learn."

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, he stood up and took out a commemorative photo, which was taken with Hibiki Hibiki and the others before he left.

There are also signatures on the back.

"This young lady is so beautiful." The other assistants looked at Akimiya Akemi and sighed.

Shiratori looked at Dong Yexiang in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Oda asked, pushing him.

"Nothing, but," Shiratori said, "When I was in junior high school, it was after I saw Mr. Tori Akino's works that I dreamed of becoming a cartoonist."

"That was the fourth volume of the "Spirit of the Game" stand-alone. In the manga, I saw Ryo Taya and Hikari Shindo chasing their dreams. The throbbing in my heart could no longer be suppressed. After that, my heart was filled with "I want to express my feelings. , convey this idea to others.” "

"Well, that's true."

Everyone nodded. This mood was shared by the assistants and Oda.

"It was after reading the works of a certain cartoonist teacher that I had the dream of becoming a cartoonist."

Oda patted Shiratori on the shoulder, "Come on."

…

Hibiki Higashino was watching TV, which was a live broadcast of the Go match between Yugen.

In addition to professional chess players who have just passed the professional chess player examination, they can only play chess in this chess room if they become the top chess players.

Today's competition is the Honinbo battle, including Odagiri. He is 18 years old this year. I haven't seen him for a long time. On TV, he is much calmer than before. With the unparalleled style of a national scholar.

Now at a disadvantage, he still took the test calmly.

Not constantly twirling my hair and meditating.

"What happened?" Akimiya Akemi asked Hibiki Higashikata.

"Not too optimistic," Hibiki Higashi shook his head, "We are already on the verge of defeat."

However, it is already a miracle that Odagiri's chess skills can reach the fifth set with Zhao Zhixun's ninth-dan "Honinbo".

In just five years, he has grown to this point. This young man is so terrifying.

If Hibiki Higashino plays chess with him again, I'm afraid he can only be sure of winning if he gives away three pieces.

Another half hour passed, and Higashikata sighed.

"No need to look any further, let's go out."

"Is there no chance?" Akimiya Akemi asked.

"Well," Hibiki Higashino put on his coat, "The shogi player on the opposite side is Cho Ji-hoon 9th Dan, who has dominated the "Honinbo" title since 1989, and Odagiri is still far behind. "

"what a pity."

"He's already great."

…

Today is the weekend, and the two of them went out to take a look at the villa.

Fortunately, these villas are located in Meguro area, so half a day is enough.

After driving to the first villa, Akimiya Akemi shook her head: "There are no good primary schools around."

She takes a long-term view, Higashikata was impressed.

It wasn't until she saw the third building that Akimiya Akemi's eyes lit up.

There is a park near here. In autumn, the maple forest here renders a "sad autumn" red color, which is particularly intoxicating.

There is also a pavilion in the center of the park lake. Among the green shades, the scenery is great.

Being in Tokyo is like being in another world and walking into nature.

Standing on the balcony of the villa, you can just overlook the maple forest and pavilion.

"The scenery in autumn is great, but in other seasons, the scenery is not what it is today."

Higashi Hibiki reminded that the most fearful thing is to do things on a whim. If you think about it carefully later, you may have regrets. It should be considered carefully.

"I've already decided. If Higashino-kun has no objection, this is the place." Akimiya Akemi said with a smile.

The villa area here is named Hanhai, and the one in Higashi Yexiang is named Hongfeng.

There are three floors in total, with a total area of ​​about 600 square meters. It has been renovated and has a splendid style. It doesn't match the scenery outside. Hibiki Higashikata doesn't like it either. It always feels like entering a hotel without being at home. smell.

"Just do as you say," Higashino nodded, and then he had to re-decorate.

But other things are really good, the environment is beautiful, and there is a city library nearby, which is convenient for Hibiki to search for information.

It's very close to Higashinoya, just 20 minutes' drive away. There are kindergartens and elite primary schools in the villa area, and it's not far from the city.

is a good choice.

After contacting Ichiro Higashino, Hibiki met Yoshino next to the Arakawa River.

"Where did this house come from?" Yoshino held the key chain and thought hard.

He listened to Higashino Hibiki's introduction and took out a stack of real estate certificates. After working for a long time, he finally found them.

"What a waste of time." Yoshino looked at the fishing rod and was too lazy to discuss it in detail.

"A total of 200 million yen, that's it."

"Eh?" Dong Yexiang was stunned.

Is it so cheap?

Higashino Hibiki and Akimiya Akemi each contributed half, and the procedures were quickly completed.

Higashino Hibiki found a house designer and put forward Akimiya Akemi and his requirements. The subsequent decoration process will not be listed below.

After returning to the studio, the game had just ended.

In the fifth game, Odagiri lost.

Higashikata saw his face full of tears and felt touched.

"What are you thinking? Why are you crying so sadly?" Dong Yexiang was confused.

He is only eighteen years old and has already entered the "Honinbo" title challenge. He can be said to be extremely talented and the top player in the Japanese Go world.

"Why?"

…

Things in the house are busy, and the Xiangbei Lingnan competition of "Slam Dunk" has also come to an end.

After finishing the last chapter, Hibiki Higashino finally had some free time.

He and Akimiya Akemi were watching the game live, it was the Japan Basketball League at the end of October.

Sitting in the front court, feeling the excitement of the scene, Hibiki Higashino's blood boiled with excitement.

"Orimo Takehiko, come on!"

There were cheers and cheers all around.

"Athletes in the workplace are much better than those in comics." Akimiya Akemi was dumbfounded.

"Yeah, it's really awesome."

Whether it's speed, jumping ability, or reaction, the wonderful operations performed on the spot are better than the characters in "Slam Dunk".

"Sakuragi and the others are just high school students. These golfers are professionals." Someone nearby couldn't help but explain, "Toriakino-sensei's drawings are very realistic."

"But the content of the comics is much more exciting than the live competition." He sighed again.

"Yes," Hibiki Higashino nodded, "After all, when reading works like comics, you can feel the character's heart and be happy when he is happy."

Just like Akagi, no one in Xiangbei cooperated with him before. No matter how hard a person works, as long as he is blocked by the opponent and has no teammates who can pass the ball, he will eventually fail.

In Shohoku now, on the outside of the ball, there is the terrifying three-point shooter Mitsui; there is also Shohoku's ace Rukawa Kaede who can shoot from anywhere regardless of position;

And Miyagi, the point guard who can pass the ball and score by himself; and the fast-growing beginner, who is the dominant player at the basket, with strong support from Hanamichi Sakuragi.

In the comics, after reading Akagi’s high school basketball life, readers will be happy and moved for him from the bottom of their hearts.

After three years of persistence, he finally found a reliable teammate. His current hard work on the court is even more empathetic and inspiring.

"Oh, little brother, what you said is really good." The audience's eyes lit up and he praised, "This sentence really speaks to my heart."

In this crucial competition, he actually chatted about comics with Hibiki Hibiki, which was simply unbelievable.

"The same is true for Yuzhu," he said: "After practicing hard for three years, in the last year he is most likely to realize his dream and enter the national competition. But he fell behind here in Xiangbei. I can totally feel his mood. "

"Lingnan was 13 points behind Xiangbei. With six minutes left in the game, he could only watch from the bench. His unwillingness and eagerness to try were clearly visible on the page."

The subsequent outbreak of fish pillars is completely predictable by readers.

"Jun Uozumi is 202 centimeters tall and weighs 90 kilograms, and Takenori Akagi is 197 centimeters tall and weighs 90 kilograms. In terms of physique, both sides are about the same."

"It's about the same level of ugliness."

"But Yuzhu's evaluation has never been as good as Akagi's, which is why Yuzhu has always regarded Akagi as his opponent."

"He can bring great pressure to Xiangbei, which is a miracle caused by Yuzhu's belief."

…

At 5 minutes and 30 seconds in the match between Xiangbei and Lingnan, Fukuda finally scored with the assistance of Yuzhu!

Bringing fighting spirit to the Lingnan basketball team.

Still thirteen points behind.

After that, Yuzhu blocked Akagi's slam dunk, stole Sakuragi Hanamichi, and won the rebounding competition with the two.

Lingnan's defense finally became reliable.

The situation began to turn.

He shares the pressure of Xiandao, and Xiandao can attack with all his heart and find the weaknesses of Xiangbei.

Under Xiandao's offensive, the unstable factors in Xiangbei were revealed one by one.

The first is Mitsui Hisashi, who persisted throughout the game, but he has no energy left.

Hisashi Mitsui was in a daze due to lack of physical strength, wasted a three-point shot opportunity, and failed to give Lingnan a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

The second point is that Xiangbei's players committed too many fouls, with all four players committing three fouls.

Under the inducement of immortality, Miyagi Ryota soon committed four crimes.

This will cause Sakuragi and others to be afraid of fouls and their defensive capabilities will become weak.

The third point is that Shohoku's substitute ability is too weak. Facing Lingnan, Yasuda, Tsunoda and others do not even have the courage to compete.

Everything went as Shigeichi Tagoka envisioned, and the score gap was brought back to seven points.

Facing Lingnan's trump card Immortal Dao, Rukawa Kaede was not far behind.

In an impossible shot, he made the shot.

Time is running out, and Lingnan is still 9 points behind Xiangbei.

At this time, Xiandao's desire to win became stronger and stronger. He returned to himself as a freshman in high school, a pure scorer.

Shooting + three-pointers, there are three minutes left in the game, Lingnan is only four points behind!

"Immortal way! Immortal way! Immortal way!"

The stadium was full of spectators cheering for him, looking forward to turning defeat into victory.

Another uneasy factor in Xiangbei was finally exposed.

That's because Coach Anxi is not here. At this uneasy moment, no one can come up with tactics and everyone panics.

"You can play in the national competition." Shigeichi Taoka, who has always been in control of the rhythm of the game, said confidently to Sendō and the others.

…

"I was really panicked at that time," the audience said to Hibiki Higashino: "Although it will be a pity for Lingnan, I still hope that Shohoku can win."

"Tori Akino-sensei arranged such a dangerous plot, but did not draw out the possibility of resolving it. Unsettling factors kept arising one after another. It was really like facing a future of despair like a rolling stone."

The possibility of Xiangbei winning is getting smaller and smaller. At this time, readers want to see the next chapter even more.

Countless readers voted for "Slam Dunk."

"Hunter", "One Piece"... are not worth reading.

"At that time, was it the eighth time or the tenth time?" Higashino Hibiki counted the number of consecutive first-place finishes.

"What?" the audience asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing." Higashino answered with a smile, "Just keep talking."

Takehiko Orimagi shot a three-pointer, which relieved the pressure on the team at a critical moment. As the team's ace and core, he is still so reliable.

The whole audience was cheering, but Higashino Hibiki still ignored it and was immersed in the world of "Slam Dunk".

The audience member licked his lips and said, "The plot that followed was really exciting. I have missed it for a long time. I will recall it even ten or twenty years later. It is an unforgettable, classic moment."

The fourth uneasy factor in Shohoku is Sakuragi Hanamichi. He is a layman and can do anything.

Such as passing the ball.

In the game against Hainan, Sakuragi passed the basketball to Hainan's Takasago Kazuma at the last moment, causing Shohoku to lose to Hainan.

Now, because the pass was too high and hit the rim, the fish column got the basketball, and Lingnan started to counterattack.

Sakuragi's uneasiness was revealed.

"The storyboarding afterwards is really exciting," the audience member praised.

In the fierce competition in the last few minutes, others attacked and defended, using all their energy.

Tension, sweat, hard work, struggle, the camera keeps switching.

Among them, only Hisashi Mitsui is different.

His eyes lost focus, and his body's movements were maintained by his spirit.

His vision went dark, Mitsui Shou stumbled, his shoulders drooped downward, as if he only had his brain, lifting his body to move.

"Coach Anxi is not here, I must cheer up..."

"I must cheer up..."

"I must..."

"boom!"

When Sendō made a successful shot and fouled Akagi, Mitsui Hisashi fell to the ground.

He was completely out of strength.

Taoka Shigeichi’s judgment came true.

"In terms of score, Shohoku no longer has an advantage. The scorer Mitsui Hisamata left the game. I was thinking about this."

"However, Mitsui's plot is really touching."

My friend's book is very exciting.
