Chapter 225 Participating in Jump Festa

Chapter 225 Participating in "Jump Festa"

Computers have developed rapidly in recent years, and online ordering has become possible.

There are more channels.

It is the dividend of the times.

In addition, "Slam Dunk" dominated the series for three years, attracting many readers, and the environment was much better than that of Inoue-sensei's serialization.

At least it doesn't have to compete with "Dragon Ball" for readers.

"Teacher, come on!" Omori encouraged with a fist.

"This is not just about refueling." Dong Yexiang shook his head.

…

The recent serialization of "Slam Dunk" is a gap period. There is no need to draw games for more than two months. Hibiki Higashino can spend most of his energy on "Millennium Actress".

At this moment, something interrupted his arrangement.

Three and a half years later, Torishima Kazuhiko visited Higashino Hibiki again.

"Ah, you have matured a lot." As soon as he sat on the sofa, he suddenly sighed, "Although you participate in every New Year's party, in my impression, you are still the same boy in 1993."

He talked about the past, which made Hibiki's thoughts return to the past.

Six years have passed, and Torishima Kazuhiko, the editor-in-chief of Jump, has become much older, and his afro has long been replaced by a delicate middle parting and mousse.

"Mr. Torishima tolerated me infinitely back then. I am really grateful."

Torishima Kazuhiko waved his hand, "Hahaha, because you are very talented."

The two of them were talking in the living room, and Omori was extremely nervous, "It's really Editor-in-Chief Torishima Kazuhiko, how cool!"

He said it was so cool, probably because Torishima Kazuhiko's visit to Higashino Hibiki was so cool.

Torishima Kazuhiko looked at Higashino Hibiki, "Don't not cherish your body just because you are young. Health is the basis for drawing comics. Look at Yoshihiro Togashi, he couldn't draw comics well because of his back pain. The last time I visited him , he was always lying down and drawing comics.”

"However, during the time that "Hunter" was serialized, Togashi didn't have many breaks from publication, which is really unexpected."

Hibiki touched his dark circles, "I feel relaxed recently. The "Slam Dunk" game is over, so I can have a good rest."

"But Mr. Togashi may relapse in the future. It's normal to be motivated when serializing and laying out the world view at the beginning, but it will soon become boring after that. Mr. Torishima, you still have to have expectations."

This is Yoshihiro Togashi, who is deeply hated by readers.

There are endless interruptions for one or two years. The longest period of interruption was more than 800 days.

"I already expected it," Torishima Kazuhiko smiled and nodded, "After all, that is Togashi Yoshihiro."

Yoshihiro Togashi is easy to talk to, gentle and reserved, and generous to his assistants.

But when facing the editorial department, he was unexpectedly tough. This made Toshima Kazuhiko very distressed. He slowly became numb. He no longer cares.

Akimiya Akemi brought tea, and Hibiki asked curiously: "Mr. Torishima came to see me today. What's the matter?"

Torishima Kazuhiko's expression became embarrassed, his brows trembled, and he swallowed.

Higashikata urged, "Just tell me."

He is very busy at work.

"Okay," After a while, Torishima Kazuhiko took a sip of tea, "Do you know "Jump Festa"? "

"Jump Festa" Hibiki Higashino naturally knows that it is an event jointly organized by "Magazine Weekly Shonen Jump", "V-Jump", and "Jump Square".

At the event, jump comic peripherals will be released in advance and for a limited time. There will be displays of the original comics, animation voice actors, and many cosplays, etc.

The "Jump Festa" in 1998 was attended by Oda and others. Hibiki Higashino was not invited, so he did not go to the event. I heard it was very lively.

"On December 18, 1999, the 2000 "Jump Festa" event will begin, which is also the official opening of this event. I'd like to invite you to participate! "Slam Dunk" is a participating work. "

On the official opening day of the event, he found himself. Hibiki Higashino was deeply moved. Torishima Kazuhiko really valued him.

But it is still the two important days of the millennium and the official opening.

"So...hey," Kazuhiko Toshima turned his head and whispered, "I need you to draw a side story of "Slam Dunk"."

Dong Yexiang suddenly realized that he was waiting for him here. The opening ceremony needed a finale, so I chose "Slam Dunk".

As soon as Torishima Kazuhiko came in, he asked himself to take a rest and seemed to care about him.

Now he has to arrange work for himself again, no wonder he is embarrassed.

"No, no, no, no," Higashino waved his hands frantically.

"Slam Dunk", "Millennium Actress", plus this side story, I have to draw so much content this year, how can I stand it?

And he is getting married this year.

"You'd better hire someone else."

Torishima Kazuhiko insisted, "Can't you try harder?"

"Aki Toriyama will also participate in this event. He is responsible for the design of the "Jump Festa" mascot KAIZO-kun. "

"It would be great for you, master and disciple, to meet again and have a chat."

Hibiki was sweating coldly.

"Career is important, but love is even more important."

He said bluntly: "I really want to participate in the "Jump Festa", but I even want to give Miss Akimiya a happy wedding. "

Torishima Kazuhiko scratched his head, "There's nothing we can do about it..."

"Let's take part." Akimi Akimiya, who was watching on the sidelines, was shocked. ""Millennium Actress" can be finished in August, and a short story about "Slam Dunk" can be completed in December."

Higashino Hibiki retorted, "But we will get married on September 24th."

"That's right." Torishima Kazuhiko nodded, "Weddings only happen once in a lifetime, so it's better not to attend "Jump Festa". "

He has come to his senses now. Although "Jump Festa" is important, Hibiki Hibiki's wedding is even more important.

"Jump Festa" will still be held in the future, and Hibiki Hibiki's wedding will only be this one.

As an elder, Torishima Kazuhiko hopes to see him happy.

He put aside his purpose this time and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Hibiki, please speak frankly," Akimiya Akemi looked into Higashino Hibiki's eyes and asked seriously: "Is the wedding important to you? Do you think such a ceremony is sacred?"

Higashino Hibiki was startled. Faced with Akimiya Akemi's question, he thought about it for a long time and finally told his true thoughts.

"No," Higashino Hibiki shook his head. He doesn't like red tape. This kind of ceremony just feels like a torment for himself. The couple will not get any substantial benefits from a wedding.

He wanted to hold a grand wedding for Akimiya Akemi.

In the past, Higashino Hibiki attended the wedding of a female classmate. It was a catwalk in a big hotel, with many bouquets, twinkling lights, a white wedding dress, and blessings from hundreds of people.

The female classmate was very happy and enjoyed it very much. She also said that most girls are looking forward to this wedding.

Hibiki Higashi said: "I just want to make you happy."

"Actually, I think the same thing as you," Akimiya Akemi breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't want to waste too much time on unnecessary weddings," she said bluntly, "it's more comfortable to draw comics."

Higashino sighed. He took a deep breath and said to Torishima Kazuhiko: "I will participate in this event. When is the latest time for side stories?"

Torishima Kazuhiko is smiling. A couple with the right outlook on life will definitely have a harmonious life in the future.

"What did you just say?"

He was awakened by the sound of Dongye and asked.

Higashikata was helpless and repeated it again.

"You need to allow time for proofreading and review, as well as printing and shelving. Well, please give me the manuscript by December 8th at the latest."

"Time is tight, but it's okay."

Dong Yexiang stood up, "I won't send you off."

"What?"

"I'm anxious to draw comics. If nothing happens, the door is on the left."

Torishima Kazuhiko: "..."

He was indeed angry.

…

In mid-June, Hibiki Higashino was thinking about the spin-off of "Slam Dunk" and he needed to find an entry point.

Since it is "Slam Dunk", the content must be about basketball.

There is nothing worth exploring about Sakuragi Hanamichi in bad times.

But after playing basketball, he was already very plump and had no room to explore.

The same goes for Takenori Akagi and Hisashi Mitsui.

In Slam Dunk, their backgrounds have clear lines.

There is nothing outstanding about the painting.

As for Rukawa Kaede, he is the purest. He only has basketball in his heart and nothing else.

Now Hibiki Higashino understands why Takehiko Inoue chose Ryota Miyagi for his "Slam Dunk" movie.

Among the five main players, only Miyagi Ryota has almost no off-court description. Except for the fact that he entered the basketball team because of Ayako, Miyagi's background is somewhat empty.

As a 168cm point guard, he faced opponents such as Fujima, Maki Shinichi, Sendō, and even the country's No. 1 Eiji Sawabita. Facing these monsters, what kind of experience supported Miyagi Ryota?

Complementing Miyagi's life is Mr. Takehiko Inoue's completion of "Slam Dunk".

It all makes sense.

But he parlayed that into a big movie for the national competition.

This is an explanation to readers after a painful wait of 26 years.

Miyagi's story will not satisfy readers. What they want to see more is the plot of five people together.

Remembering their lost childhood.

Other than that, the movie is pretty good.

Hibiki Higashino made a decision, and he quickly drew the storyboard in a week.

As for the original painting, we have to wait until the day "Millennium Actress" is finished.

Time has come to June 21st, the final issue of "Unheard Flower Names".

Dong Yexiang set aside time to watch this scene.

There is also a child next to me, Akane Nakajima from the neighbor’s house.
